🚨 MANAGEMENT UPDATE 🚨

After an extensive search, countless interviews, and absolutely zero background checks, we've officially promoted Stetson to Manager of Operations.

As a dedicated dachshund, Stetson specializes in:
• Monitoring treat inventory
• Inspecting dropped crumbs
• Enforcing daily nap quotas
• Looking adorable while doing absolutely no work

In his first hour on the job, he gave himself a raise, approved unlimited snacks, and scheduled a mandatory company meeting to discuss who is, in fact, the goodest boy. (He voted himself)

We're excited to see where his leadership takes us... although based on his search history, it's mostly the treat cabinet. 🐾💻😂🦴

Your dog's day:

🏠 Home: Waits 8 hours for you.
🐾 Daycare: Has 12 best friends, 3 wrestling matches, 2 snack breaks, and forgets you exist until pickup.

Sounds like an easy choice. 😂

🎃🍬 Don't let your pup scare the neighbors, steal the candy bucket, or make a surprise appearance at the front door this Halloween! Book a Spooky Sleepover on Halloween night and they'll get FREE daycare the next day. It's all the Halloween fun, with none of the candy-related crimes. 👻🐾🦇

🚨 Treat Heist in Progress 🚨

No fence is strong enough when treats are on the line. This little thief was determined to cash in at our treat event! 😂🐾 Honestly, watching the sneaky snack grabs might be our favorite part.

🚨 STOP SCROLLING. 🚨

Looking for a daycare that treats your dog like they're one of their own?

A place where your pup gets more than just supervision. A place filled with playtime, cuddles, enrichment, belly rubs, and a team that genuinely loves seeing them walk through the door every day. 🐾❤️

Come take a tour, meet our staff, and ask us anything. We'd love to show you why so many dogs think this is their second home.

The weekend is here and the squad has collectively decided that doing absolutely nothing is the best activity on the schedule. 😌🐾

🐾 Fact Friday 🐾

Did you know dogs can learn over 100 words and gestures? Some exceptionally smart dogs have been shown to recognize 200 words or more! 🧠🐶

But here's the cool part: dogs don't just memorize sounds. They can learn to associate specific words with actions, objects, people, and even routines. That's why your pup might rocket to the front door when you say "walk," sprint to the kitchen when they hear "dinner," or suddenly appear out of nowhere when someone whispers "treat."

The average dog is thought to understand about as many words as a young toddler, but every pup is different. Repetition, consistency, and positive reinforcement help dogs build their vocabulary over time.

So if it feels like your dog understands everything you're saying... they just might! (Although many daycare pups seem to temporarily forget all known commands when they're busy having fun with their friends. 😉🐾)

Fun question: What's the one word your dog never ignores? 👀💕

Our pups are saying “trick or treat!” and we’re saying “char-cute-erie!” 👻🧀

Our favorite friends enjoyed some Halloween charcuterie boards made just for them!
