How can I enroll my dog?
If you feel that your dog meets all of our requirements, the first step is to fill out our online application. Once we receive it, you will be contacted within two business days to schedule a time for a temperament evaluation and socialization.  This will include ½ day of day care.  In the meantime, we ask that you make sure your dog is current with his/her vaccinations (Rabies, DHLPP and Bordetella). We will need proof of this during the evaluation.

Why do I have to have my dog attend daycare before boarding?
Since the majority of your dogs' overnight stay will be spent interacting with other dogs, we want to make sure he /she will be having a fun time. For this reason, we require new clients to attend daycare for a minimum of ½ day prior to staying overnight with us. During this visit your dog will become familiar with our environment and staff, so it won't be a big deal if you are away for 5 hours or 5 days. This also gives staff a chance to get to know your dog and any special needs they might have before staying overnight with us. If at anytime during your dog's introductory visit he/she is having a tough time, we will be able to contact you immediately.

What is Dog Daycare?
At dog daycare, your dog spends the day playing (always with supervision) with other dogs that we match him/her with considering temperament, size and energy levels.

Do all dogs like daycare?
No... Some dogs don't do well at dog day care... just like some people don't like crowds!  We'll do all we can to make it a happy and fun experience, but please don't be disappointed if your dog doesn't qualify at his/her socialization stay.

Can any dog play?  Well, almost...

• Dogs four months or older
• People and dog friendly dogs that are not protective of food, toys or space
• Healthy Dogs - All dogs must have current DHLPP, Rabies and Bordetella (Kennel Cough) vaccinations. Bordetella vaccine is available in six and twelve month doses.  We also recommend the canine flu vaccine.
• Spayed or neutered dogs; however puppies younger than seven months may attend without being "fixed."
• All dogs (sleepover and daycare) must pass a temperament evaluation.
• All dogs must be on flea prevention program.

Why do you require a temperament evaluation?
For the safety of everyone, it is important that all dogs interact positively together. For this reason, we require that all dogs pass a temperament evaluation. We want to make sure that the dogs that attend Puppy Tubs B&B Pet Resort are able to get along with humans (staff), large groups of dogs, and are OK away from home.  Dogs that are anxious, nervous or frightened would not enjoy themselves. Most importantly, we want this to be a fun and safe experience for your pups.

What happens in a temperament evaluation?
During the first phase of the evaluation, we will sit down and discuss your dogs' history (previous owners, socialization, interactions with other dogs, etc.).  In the second phase of the interview your dog will be gradually introduced to other friendly dogs.  We will monitor your dogs' body language and reactions during these interactions. If all goes well, your dog is accepted into the Puppy Tubs B&B pack.

How do I schedule a temperament evaluation?
If you feel that your dog meets these requirements, please fill out our online application. Applications take 2-3 days to process, and someone will contact you about setting up a time to meet.
