Frequently Asked Questions

1. How many dogs does PD take at a time? PD tries to keep our number of dogs under 8 combined when it comes to all the services in-house that we offer(boarding and daycare). During the busy season/holiday season the number does fluctuate. With our 5+ years of dog handling experience, we are confident in our ability to handle the dogs we work with as they all go through an evaluation period. We also take into account all the dogs' personalities, temperaments, etc. when looking at our schedule and seeing what is safe, comfortable, and appropriate prior. If we are on the higher end when it comes to the number of dogs in our care we will break our outings down into smaller groups.

2. Will my dog need a bed or a crate when spending the night? No, your pup does not need to pack a bed or bring its crate with them. We supply dog beds and blankets and we have crates if needed.

3. Where do the pups sleep? PD has a dog room within our residency with dog beds, blankets, etc. They may sleep in the dog room but also have the option to sleep anywhere in the home as long as they aren't showing signs of marking or destructive behaviors, and are potty trained.

4. Do I need to pack toys? No, PD supplies toys. We have various types of toys so they all can have fun. We highly recommend not packing any toys as the other pups may show interest in the toy(s) and we cannot guarantee they will not try to destroy it. We cannot replace any toys a client chooses to pack if they are destroyed/lost.

5. How does PD handle tiffs between the dogs? We do our best to ensure the dogs have a great time together while in our care, however, in the event that the dogs have a quarrel PD will immediately separate the dogs involved from each other and the rest of the dogs so they can calm down. Dog parents are notified of the event and consulted. Our default method is we reintroduce them on leashes at a distance and evaluate the demeanors. If the reunion goes well we will proceed forward slowly and closely monitoring them. For the remainder of their stay after the tiff, they will not be left alone due to safety reasons. We will continue to evaluate them over future services and keep a note of any dogs that have disagreements. In the event, the reintroduction doesn't go well, we will evaluate if there is an aggressor and discuss with the parents what PD feels is the best option. We reserve the right to cancel or shorten a service if your dog is jeopardizing the safety of anyone.

6. Have you worked with pups with special needs? Yes, we do have experience working with dogsthat have special needs, medical disorders, and senior dogs. We require to have a conversation with the dog owner prior to any service taking place so we may get a detailed summary, notes, and tips so we can ensure we keep your dog safe. We also like to have check-ins with the owner throughout the year to ensure we are all up to date.

7. Can pup parents request specific times for pick up and drop off for daycare or boardings? Unfortunately, we cannot offer a specific time for pup parents as we have to take into account various factors when it comes to picking ups/drop-offs, including but not limited to the proximity of dogs from one another.
