Can Your Dog Stay and Play With Us?
Daycare is a great place for your dog to play off
leash with doggie friends in our supervised playgrounds. Your dog can have a great time making friends in
our
stimulating environment, not to mention burning off some of that exuberant
energy so at the end of the day you can go home with a relaxed, tired dog.
Weekdays we open at 7:45 and the dogs play both indoors and out for most of the morning. At about 11:30 they are ready for a nap so we turn off the lights and turn on some classical music and they find a place to curl up until about 1:30. During this time we crate the puppies for their lunch. Play continues after lunch until about 3:00 when many dogs settle down and watch the comings and goings. Daycare dogs must be picked up by 5:15.
We accept healthy dogs 12 weeks old and over with current vaccinations or written approval from your vet. If your dog is over 6/7 months of age, they must be spayed or neutered. We suggest a regular one-day-per-week commitment to keep your dogs social skill's up, and so he can see his doggie friends on a regular basis!
The day care rooms are bright and cheery, with plenty of natural and artificial light. The floor is either concrete or light rubber mat. Five securely fenced pea gravel yards allow dogs to play outside too. Our full time staff have earned their St John Ambulance Pet First Aid Certificates and are Certified Pet Care Technicians.

Before
your first daycare day you can drop by to pick up
a registration form or have us email it to you. Then make an appointment to bring your dog in for a
brief introduction and orientation. We will observe
your dogs behavior with the group and make sure that not only are they a good
fit for our daycare, but that they enjoy themselves!
Most
friendly
dogs who are willing to share, who like people, who enjoy off-leash doggie
friends and who have
shown no possessive behaviour usually enjoy their time in daycare.
Each dog must pass an initial behavior assessment to determine if they will
benefit from dog daycare. Our program may not be right for every dog and
we reserve the right to make this determination. Owners must
sign a rules and regulations form, client agreement, and be prepared to return
to pick up a tired dog at the end of the day.
Okay, and sometimes we play dress up, play in the pool, or have fashion shows, we even go camping using our pup tent, of course! Once we tried paw painting...feel free to ask about that!
Friendly, healthy, flea free dogs of all ages and sizes with proof of current vaccination
and parasite prevention program or written
veterinary approval.
All dogs
require a quick-release flat collar while attending daycare.
Dogs must be on-leash to arrive and leave our facility. Feel free
to label your leash with your name or your dog's name.
We are open
7:45 to 5:15
Monday to Friday. On Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays we are open for
Check In and Check Out from
8:00am-12:00 and from 4:00 to 8:00pm.
Good Dog Works Daycare is a busy place.
Reservations are required for daycare and boarding to ensure that there is a
space for your dog. Customers
arriving without reservations may find that we are full for the day.
For
young dogs feel
free to bring a lunch or snack in a container with their name written on it. They burn a lot of energy and are sometimes hungry
by naptime, of course some dogs will eat at anytime!
Please let us know if you cannot make your reserved date so that we can
invite someone else to stay and play.
Payment for daycare is required daily except for people booking 3 or more
days per week who may pay weekly or those using a ten-day card.
If your
dog is not feeling well or has been vomiting, coughing, gagging, sneezing or has
diarrhea we ask that you keep them
home until they are feeling better. After surgery including spay/neuter dogs can
return after their stitches have been removed.
Owners
are required to let us know if there have been any changes in their dogs lives
including but not limited to changes in their health
or behaviour. Owners are required to let us know if their dog has bitten a
person or other animal or been involved in any mishaps.
Please advise us of any changes to your current contact
information for home, work, cell phone and email as well as your emergency back
up person in case we may need to contact you.
Thank you for considering us - we look forward to meeting you and your dog!

Let us pamper your best friend while you are away. Our overnight guests must pass through the same admissions procedure as our daycare guests. They play in supervised off-leash Daycare and are pretty tired out by the end of the day. They are happy to have supper, snuggle up and go to sleep. An evening stretch, bathroom break and treat usually ensures a good nights sleep. Most dogs will enjoy spend the night in a private, spacious wire or plastic crate but some, depending on their age, behaviour and comfort level may prefer a bed in a room on their own. We reserve the right to make this decision.
For sleepovers, please bring your dog's food and any treats you like them to have in a container with their name on it as well as feeding instructions and any other things you would like us to know. We will provide bedding and food bowls. Dogs don't share well in groups, so please leave toys and bones at home.
The fees for sleepovers are calculated based on 23.00 for the first 24 hours or part thereof and then the cost of any additional daycare is added.
Alternatively, in-home sleepovers are occasionally available. These select guests hangout at our farm, watch TV with us and do just whatever we're doing. They are walked on long lines through our hay fields. Some spend the night in a crate and some choose their own place to curl up.
