WE PUT THE CARE IN DOG DAYCARE

Our doggy daycare program is different than all the other dog daycares in Columbus and we guarantee that! How? Providing various dog daycare programs, we ensure each dog’s needs are assessed and met. Some dogs require frequent breaks, others 1-on-1 attention and some toys or puzzles. We cater each of our programs based on the dog’s needs, as each dog is different, and each day is different. We integrate each of our dog daycare guests into a program that best aligns with their stage of development, social skills, play style, size, and your goals.


Our main goal is to provide every guest with a safe and fun experience; these programs help us do that. That experience begins with ensuring all our guests complete a 2-hour assessment before coming for daycare so that we understand which program may be best suited for them. Over your dog’s first few visits, we will update you on their experience and any changes we may see in their behavior.


It is typical for a behavior to change as your dog becomes more comfortable and familiar with the environment and staff. Our 1:15 staff-to-dog ratio helps keep a safe play environment and properly addresses each dog’s needs. Lastly, our staff is trained in reading and recognizing our guests’ body language to ensure we quickly assess if a dog is not enjoying themselves so we can contact their parents and adjust their plan of care to create the best experience possible!


We maintain the quality of our doggy daycare program by keeping a strict 1:15 staff-to-dog ratio, providing multiple play areas, and ensuring every dog is comfortable and content in their playgroup and that each dog’s needs are met. Certified dog trainers train our staff to read and recognize our guests’ body language to ensure we quickly assess if a dog is not enjoying themselves so we can contact their parents if needed and adjust their plan of care to create the best experience possible! Our approach to doggy daycare ensures that each dog’s needs are properly addressed, reduces the chance for our guests to engage in aggressive play, and allows our staff to get to know your dog better!

PUPPY SCHOOL

DOG DAYCARE PROGRAM

BEST SUITED FOR: PUPPIES AGED 10 WEEKS TO 12 MONTHS


The most important program we offer is our puppy school! We feel that in order to set your dog up for success as an adult, it is imperative to give them a solid foundation to build on, and that is done during the crucial developmental stages of puppyhood! It is essential to provide a program that allows your puppy to begin the socialization process before completing their full vaccination series, given their critical socialization period ends at 12 weeks old. Our puppy school provides guests with various activities designed to meet your dog’s needs based on their age and developmental phase. We break our plan of care into a socialization program for 8-12 weeks, a testing program for 3-6 months, and an obedience program 6-12 months.

HOMEDOG HIGH 

Dog DAYCARE PROGRAM

BEST SUITED FOR: ADOLESCENT DOGS 12 TO 18 MONTHS OLD AND HIGH-ENERGY ADULT DOGS


ADDED BENEFITS: 1:8 Ratio of Staff to Dogs, More square footage per dog, positive reinforcement training methods used, daily treats and kongs provided for enrichment.


This daycare program builds on the socialization and obedience skills developed in our puppy school program and is ideal for dogs 12 months to 18 months or young adult dogs with high-energy play styles. This program uses small play groups, positive reinforcement training, and enrichment activities to develop your dog’s socialization skills while managing their arousal levels and reducing unwanted behaviors due to overstimulation or rough play. Playgroups consist of 10-12 dogs matched to your dog’s play style and socialization level to help facilitate appropriate interactions and reduce unwanted behaviors. 


Given that enrollees are still developing their socialization skills and tend to have higher energy play styles, we implement training exercises into their day that serve as enrichment opportunities and proactively mitigate challenging behaviors. Training activities, such as name games or stationing, will be used to develop your dog’s recall and impulse control. Activities using food puzzles, snuffle mats, flirt poles, and other toys will also provide different activity sources and mental enrichment to help reduce challenging behaviors due to overstimulation or boredom.


Dogs in our Homedog High program will receive a daily report card outlining the day’s activities, their progress, and any pertinent information or recommended resources.


Since this program is intensive and has limited enrollment, we require each guest to become a member and enroll in 1, 2, or 3x weekly visits. New members must also complete a 30-minute private session with one of our trainers to review the positive reinforcement methods. Members will receive exclusive benefits, including:

âś“ Daily Report Card âś“ Priority Boarding
âś“ Free Workshops & Resources âś“ No Peak Rates for Boarding

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR DOG DAYCARE SERVICES

Before you can schedule services, you need to complete an assessment day. Once your dog completes their assessment day, they will be assigned their daycare program, and you will be able to schedule services through your PetExec account, by calling our facility, or at pick-up or drop-off times. Please refrain from scheduling services via email or social media, as our guest services team does not monitor those channels, and they do not have access to all the necessary information. Once you've submitted your daycare reservation, you will receive an email confirming your dog's scheduled visit. If you need to cancel your dog's visit, no worries, provide a 24-hour notice to avoid any cancellation/no-show fees. We want to be sure we can give your dog's spot to another guest.

When you arrive at Homedog, please be sure to keep your pet on a leash and allow any dogs to exit before entering. Upon entering, you will check in at the front desk, and one of our care specialists will take your dog from there. If, for some reason, you do not see anyone at the front desk, we have a doorbell you can ring, and someone will be right up to assist you. Let our staff know if you have any questions or need to update them on any changes in your dog's day! Quick and easy is how we like to handle things!

Your dog(s) will enter into their playgroup and the fun will begin! They will have regular access to water as well as regular potty breaks outside. Not all dogs enjoy playing 100% of the time, so if your dog shows signs of exhaustion or doesn’t want to play with other dogs, we will give them some downtime in one of our rooms. Want to see how your pup is doing? You can check in on them through our webcams. We also post regular updates to Facebook and Instagram so be sure to follow us so you can watch your pup become a star!

Pick-up time can be hectic! Sometimes, you can wait to get your Homie, so it's best to plan on 5-10 minutes if you pick up between 5-6. When you arrive, you will be greeted by our guest services associate. Feel free to ring the doorbell if they are not there, and they will be right with you. If you have any questions about your dog's day or would like to schedule future services, it is best to do so before our associate gets your dog. Our staff will bring your dog up, leashed, and ready to go, along with any information or updates from our dog care team. Sometimes, our team may not have all the details of your dog's visit and may let you know one of our team members will reach out to you. Don't be alarmed if there is anything out of the ordinary our team will contact you immediately. Disclaimer: Most dogs have a hard time leaving Homedog – don’t be offended, it’s not you – it’s us!

Dog daycare can be both physically and mentally draining for dogs. Don't be surprised if your dog falls asleep in the car and seems sluggish the rest of the evening. Sometimes, this sleepiness can roll into the next day, which we call the Homedog Hangover. Don’t worry, it’s completely normal. During playtime, dogs can receive nicks, cuts, scratches, or irritated skin. They may get some tangles in their fur, tender paw pads, torn nails, or sore muscles. Sometimes dogs will pick up coughs, runny noses, eye conjunctivitis, or warts. While we do our best and implement policies and procedures to reduce the risk, off-leash dog play contains elements that cannot be planned for. If you notice any of these things when you get home don't hesitate to get in touch with us to let us know so that we can make a note and help improve our process. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns so that we can be sure your dog’s visits are as you intend them to be!

DOGGY DAYCARE PSA

Do you come home from a ruff day at work only to find chewed up shoes, poo covered carpets, rowdy and rambunctious ruffians or a hyper jack-rabbit terrier?
