What Happens at Daycare?

Here are just some of the fun and games that make up a day of daycare at A Closer Bond.

  • Socialization & Play.

    We form carefully selected playgroups based on play style, with every group supervised at all times. If your dog prefers the company of humans, they’ll enjoy customized one-on-one play sessions with a caregiver.

  • Stimulating Games & Activities.

    We provide fun games and enrichment activities such as agility and fitness courses, rally obedience games, scent detection and nose work, brain-teasing puzzles, and more. All the while, we’re encouraging good manners and listening skills, positive behaviors, and confidence.

    Your dog’s day strikes the right balance between play and rest. Resting in their own comfy, climate-controlled accommodation ensures your pet stays recharged and refreshed throughout the day.

Dog Daycare FAQ

What vaccinations are required for daycare?
To keep our daycare guests safe and healthy, we require all dogs be up to date on vaccinations for rabies and distemper combo.
Do you require reservations for daycare?

Safety is most important to us, and keeping the best staffing is a big part of this. We keep our group sizes down and supervision top notch. Therefore, we do require reservations so we can plan accordingly.

How does daycare benefit dogs?
Daycare is especially designed to benefit dogs by providing them a safe and secure outlet to have fun, exercise, and socialize. Our daycare program keeps your pet’s mind and body active, exercises their social skills, and channels their energy in healthy ways. It’s proven to reduce challenging behaviors born out of loneliness and boredom, such as excessive barking, destructive chewing, digging, and more.
My dog doesn’t like to play with other dogs, would they still enjoy daycare?
No problem! Some dogs, just like some people, are not comfortable in a crowd. Your dog will spend time in their own space and will get to play outside with one of our staff members during their stay. Our activities are tailored to fit your dog's needs.
Can I come in for a tour?
Yes, we’d love for you to see our resort. Please visit us during our operating hours to go on a guided tour with a knowledgeable staff member.
Do you require a group play evaluation?
We keep our daycare program as safe as possible by ensuring our guests are comfortable with a social play environment. Your dog’s first day is an evaluation day where we get to observe your pet’s preferred play styles and determine if they’re a good fit for the group. If your pup seems to prefer playing with the staff, we have a custom play program just for dogs like him/her.
What will my dog be doing at daycare?
The short answer is—whatever makes them happy! We provide a safe place, fun toys, and room to roam, and the dogs choose what to do next. Whether it’s romp across the yard, explore the playground, splash in the pool or nap in the sun, there’s plenty of fun to be had at A Closer Bond. Plus, manners practice is built into our daycare experience! Throughout the day our team members will encourage and reinforce good behaviors such as sitting at gates, not jumping, sitting, recall, and others.
When can I drop off and pick up my pet?

We ask you please drop off your pet by 9am and pick them up by 6:30pm.
