💤 **NAP QUEEN / NAP KING TUESDAY!** 👑🐾

Some come to daycare to run. Some come to make friends. Some come to investigate every single smell in the building. And some are just here to live their best life, collect a few compliments, and squeeze in a solid 3-hour nap. 😂

And guess what? **WE LOVE THAT FOR THEM.** 💚

At Duncan’s Dog Daycare, we believe a great day is about more than just play, play, PLAY! 🎾

🐾 **Rest is part of the plan.**
🐾 **Calm behavior deserves just as much love as the zoomies.**
🐾 **Mental enrichment is just as important as physical exercise.**
🐾 **And knowing when to slow down is an important life skill, too!**

Dogs need downtime to recharge, process all the excitement, and keep their brains and bodies feeling their best. Too much stimulation without enough rest can leave some pups overtired, overstimulated, and a little more likely to forget their manners. 😅

That's why the **Duncan Difference** isn't just about giving dogs a place to play. It's about creating a thoughtful, structured environment where we pay attention to the WHOLE dog—mind, body, and spirit. 💚

Because sometimes the best part of a busy day is knowing when it's time to put your paws up, close your eyes, and let someone else worry about the schedule. 💤😂

💔🌈 A PAW-SOME EVENT CANCELLED WITH HEAVY HEARTS 🐾

With broken hearts, we need to share that this month’s Nail Trim Event at Mounds Pet Food Warehouse East in Madison is CANCELLED for this month as we take time to honor and remember our beloved Rudy, aka The Rude Dude Fiscus who will be laid to rest on Saturday.
For those of you wishing to say your last goodbye to Rudy, he will potentially be at daycare Tuesday, thursday and friday.

Rudy will soon be making his journey across the Rainbow Bridge, where he’ll be reunited with his brother Clarence and meet Duncan for the very first time. ❤️ While Rudy and Duncan never had the chance to meet here on earth, we have no doubt that Rudy would have loved him just as much as we do. We imagine a pretty wonderful reunion waiting for him, with endless room to run, all the best treats, and plenty of love.

Our hearts are especially with Samantha during this incredibly difficult time. 💙 Losing a beloved companion leaves a space that can never truly be filled, and we hope she feels surrounded by love, comfort, and support as she navigates saying goodbye to her Rude Dude. Please join us in sending Samantha extra love, hugs, and healing thoughts. 🫂❤️

We appreciate everyone’s understanding and extend a heartfelt thank-you to Mounds Pet Food Warehouse for their compassion, and to our Duncan’s Dog Daycare family and community for the love and support during this difficult time.

Run free, Rude Dude. We hope Clarence and Duncan are waiting to welcome you with open paws. Until we meet again. 🌈🐾❤️

🦃🍽️ ATTENTION: THE DOGS HAVE HEARD THERE’S TURKEY. 🍽️🦃

And quite frankly… they have questions.

Why do the humans get turkey, green beans, pumpkin and all the good stuff while we’re expected to sit politely under the table and watch?! 😒🐾

This Thanksgiving, Duncan’s Dog Desserts is serving up a holiday feast JUST FOR THE DOGS! ❤️

🐾 DOG THANKSGIVING MEAL TO-GO 🐾

Small $14 | Large $17

🍗 Pre-brined, antibiotic-free, skinless, boneless turkey breast
🥬 Green beans & butternut squash from organic Wisconsin farms
🍎 A special apple & pumpkin dessert

It’s a complete Thanksgiving meal your pup can enjoy all by itself, spoon over their regular kibble as a special topper, or absolutely inhale while wondering why you didn’t order seconds. 😂

Meals are frozen and super easy to serve — just thaw in the refrigerator for 24 hours and you’re ready for Thanksgiving!

👉 ORDER HERE:
www.duncansdogdaycare.com/shop

🎉 WE’VE BEEN MAKING THESE FOR 5 YEARS… AND THEY SELL OUT EVERY YEAR!

And this year, the dogs are apparently very organized.

🚨 HALF OF OUR MEALS ARE ALREADY PRE-SOLD! 🚨

That means there are only a limited number left, and once they’re gone… they’re GONE.

So if your dog has already started practicing their “But Mom, it’s THANKSGIVING!” face, now would be a really good time to place that order. 👀🐶

📅 PICKUP | 4–6 PM
Thursday 11/19 | Friday 11/20 | Tuesday 11/24 | Wednesday 11/25

Because they’re family.
And family does NOT get left off the Thanksgiving menu. 🐾❤️🦃
Order before your dog files a formal complaint. 😂

And if the pawrents missed out on the video feed yesterday… 📹👀

🎉🐾 ONE YEAR. ONE NEW HOME. THE SAME DUNCAN DIFFERENCE. 🐾🎉

One year ago, we opened the doors to our new location—and while the building may have changed, one thing never has:

Our belief that daycare should be about more than just play.

Because yes… our dogs play. A LOT. 😂
They run, wrestle, chase, zoom, nap, make friends, and occasionally forget that they have four feet and not twelve.

But underneath all that fun is something really important.

💚 We teach. We reinforce. We guide.

The Duncan Difference means creating an environment where dogs can learn that:

🐾 Good behavior gets rewarded.
🐾 Boundaries are a good thing.
🐾 Safe play matters.
🐾 Not every interaction needs to become a wrestling match.
🐾 Listening to humans is important—even when your friends are being REALLY exciting.
🐾 Taking a break is okay.
🐾 Respecting another dog's space matters.
🐾 Being part of a group means learning how to navigate that group appropriately.

Our team watches body language, energy levels, social dynamics, breed tendencies and individual personalities. We step in when play gets too intense. We encourage appropriate interactions. We give dogs opportunities to decompress. And we reinforce the behaviors we want to see more of.

Because our goal isn't to send home a dog who is simply tired.

Our goal is to send home a dog who is happy, fulfilled, confident, and learning. ❤️

That's why Duncan's isn't just a place to drop your dog off to play.

It's a place where dogs get to be dogs—while learning how to be the best versions of themselves.

And one year into our new home, we're incredibly proud that the Duncan Difference continues to be at the heart of everything we do.

Thank you for trusting us with your dogs, cheering us on, and being part of this crazy, wonderful Duncan family. 🐶💚

One year in. Still dogs first. Still quality over quantity. Still doing things the Duncan way.

And we wouldn't have it any other way. 🐾

🐾’TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE DDD OPENED THE DOORS…🐾

’Twas the night before daycare, when all through the place,
Not a pup was yet playing, not even a chase.
The floors were all finished, the walls standing tall,
And we’d finally passed inspection—**WE DID IT ALL!**

The toys had been gathered, the gates were in place,
Tomorrow our first pups would finally fill up the space.
After months of planning, building and more,
We were just one sleep away from opening the door! 🐾

One year ago TODAY, we passed our final inspection.
And one year ago TOMORROW, DDD welcomed its very first daycare pups into our brand-new space!

And what a year it has been…

A year of zoomies and naps,
Of friendships and play,
Of muddy paws, happy tails,
And pups making our day. ❤️

But most of all, it’s been a year of YOU!!!

To every Pawrent who trusted us with your most precious family members, supported DDD, cheered us on, and let us be part of your pups’ lives—

THANK YOU. ❤️ You’ve made this first year pretty special in our new location.

Because DDD has always been about more than daycare. It’s about the whole dog—body, mind & spirit—and creating a place where pups can play, learn, rest, grow and just be their wonderfully goofy selves.

So tonight, we remember the special day before the adventure here began…

And tomorrow, we celebrate ONE YEAR OF Duncan's Dog Daycare in this new location (over 6.5 years total) !

And the pups in this picture?
They were some of the very first to help us fill this space with zoomies, laughter and wagging tails. ❤️

Here’s to Year TWO in the new spot—more zoomies, more memories, and SO much more fun!

This stud muffin is already 6 years old. Rigby has been racking up the girlfriends here at DDD for years we just can't believe he is 6 years old already. He is still a young tail chasing, hyper guy, always looking to have fun. We are so happy you got to come play here with all your friends today Rigby. We love you buddy! Happy Birthday!
