Our Doggie DayCare

​Our DayCare is customized for each unique need and temperament  of every dog visiting with us. We are able to do this because, unlike some other doggie daycares, we limit our enrollment to just 18 dogs per day! NOT 30-50....

​

We use the most recent research on ideal canine play and social environments. Using studies on canine enrichment, with mental and emotional well being our guide, we designed our play areas. This is all backed with over 30 years experience of canine behavioral consulting.

​

There is no rotating of staff for you and your dog to get to know; there are just the owners.  We are CPR and First aid trained. We are a family business. In fact, our children are being raised to be the next generation of Leading the Way.

How to Enroll Your Dog in Leading the Way Doggie DayCare​

​

To Schedule a Meet & Greet: All dogs are evaluated prior to being accepted to Leading the Way's daycare. This meet and greet is to ensure your dog will be comfortable. During the meet and greet, we are getting to know your dog. We are learning which group your dog enjoys and learning your dog's play style. Learning what makes your dog special! ​​​​​​​​​​

​

While we think doggie daycare is great for dogs for so many reasons, some dogs are not comfortable with this social environment. If your dog is aggressive towards people or dogs, or is very shy, or does not like the company of other dogs, or is a fence jumper, daycare may not be a match. If you are not sure, our Director of Training would be happy to talk with you further about your dog. ​​​

​

All dogs must be up to date on all vaccines and flea treatments and remain up to date while attending daycare. To schedule a meet and greet for your dog, call or email us today!
