Doggie Daycare
Welcome to Doggie Daycare!
Maybe your workday is too long to leave your pup at home, or maybe your furry friend could use some socialization. Whatever the need, we’re happy to help your companion blow off some steam with a day of puppy play and human love!
FIRST TIME VISITORS
New to daycare? No problem! We offer a half day free trial Monday – Friday. Bring in your pup for any six hours at no charge to see if they are a good fit and enjoy playing with the pack. If they’re having a lot of fun and you need them to stay beyond their initial trial time, don’t worry—we’ve got you covered. Just pay for the second half of the day.
Notice to regular MRAH daycare clients: Starting on 1/12/19, we will no longer offer regular doggy daycare on Saturdays. Instead, we will offer Puppy Socialization classes with our trainer. Click here for details.

– In order to attend our doggie daycare, your canine companion must be spayed or neutered.

Enrichment:

The Good Dog Project’s Puppy Socialization classes at MRAH are an opportunity for puppies to experience people, other dogs, surfaces, noises and more in a low-stress setting to create positive experiences. Socialization is extremely important for your pet’s well-being and behavior and will make your dog a much better family member.
These classes are for puppies between 9 weeks and 16 weeks. Your dog must have at least one round of DA2PP vaccinations as well as a bordetella vaccine a minimum of one week prior to attendance. We ask that you wait at least 10 days after getting your new puppy to join class.
Cost is $15 per class or a package of four sessions for $55.
