For your dog to be eligible for daycare and sleepovers at Planet Pooch, you must go through our admissions process. All dogs must be evaluated for their temperament. We have two options available dependent upon your dog's age and level of socialization.
Option I: For Well Socialized Dogs
Cost: $10 Time: 15 minutes
This option involves a temperament evaluation at a local dog park. The
evaluator meets you and your dog inside the park. We will observe
your dog interacting with others at the park to see if your
dog's behavior is appropriate for group play. We also determine
which play group is appropriate for your dog.
Option II: For Special Needs Dogs
Cost: $30 Time: 45-60 minutes
This option is for those that are unsure if their dog's temperament
is compatible for group play. It is more secure and
more tightly controlled than options I and II. The evaluation
takes place at our facility. To start, we determine whether
your dog is fearful or aggressive towards humans. Next,
the evaluator will bring in a very experienced and social dog and
gauge the reaction and comfort level of both dogs. If both
dogs are comfortable, we will add dogs to the group while
monitoring your dog's reactions. If your dog remains confident
and not aggressive we will bring him to the appropriate play area
and monitor his behavior without your presence. If your dog
continues to behave confidently and not aggressively, we
will finish the evaluation and make arrangements for your
first day.
All candidates must submit a copy of the dog's vaccinations records with proof of DHLPP, Rabies and Bordetella immunizations. The following documents must also be filled out completely and turned in on or before your dog's first day. (Note: You must have Adobe Reader to view and print the documents.)
