DOG DAYCARE

WHERE DOGS BECOME HOMIES

BECOME A HOMEDOG

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, how they are adjusting, and any changes we may see in their behavior.


It is typical for a dog's behavior to change as they become more comfortable and familiar with the environment and staff. Our 1:15 staff-to-dog ratio helps keep a safe play environment by reducing the number of dogs each staff member must monitor, allowing them to properly address each dog’s experience. 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!


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!

They will receive three potty breaks per day and three 30-minute sessions of activity time in one of our open play areas that will include pre-approved toys or activities based on their social skills, preferences, and goals.

PUPPY SCHOOL

DOG DAYCARE

PROGRAM

BEST SUITED FOR:  PUPPIES AGED 10 WEEKS TO 6 MONTHS


ADDED BENEFITS:  Rest periods based on age, daily report card, various play groups based on age/play style, training, and enrichment.


The most important program we offer is our puppy school! We feel that 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 begin the socialization process before completing their entire 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.


Puppies must be current on their DHPP Boosters and have their Bordetella vaccine to begin the program at 10 weeks. While waiting to complete their vaccine series, they will be exposed to our staff and facility, receive cooperative care, and begin to socialize with other puppies and well-socialized adult dogs in small, short group sessions. Once they are fully vaccinated, they will begin to be introduced into our playgroups. Break periods will reduce as they age and become more familiar with the routine.

HOMEDOG HIGH 

Dog DAYCARE

ο»ΏPROGRAM

BEST SUITED FOR:  ADOLESCENT DOGS 6 TO 18 MONTHS OLD, ANXIOUS/FEARFUL DOGS, UNALTERED DOGS


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


This daycare program builds on the socialization and obedience skills developed in our puppy school program. It is ideal for dogs 6 to 18 months or those anxious or fearful in larger groups. 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 6-8 dogs matched to each other's play style and socialization level. These smaller, compatible groups help facilitate appropriate interactions and reduce unwanted behaviors and incidents. 


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 regular report card outlining their activities, progress, and any pertinent information or recommended resources.


Since this program is intensive and has limited enrollment, we require each guest to be on a recurring, weekly schedule. Recurring schedules ensure our Homies get to know one another, are not constantly introduced to new dogs, and can create deeper relationships with their handler and Homies. It also helps ensure they are on a consistent routine, which will help retain newly implemented behaviors. 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:

REQUEST INFO

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?

Anyway, you get the picture dog daycare provides your dog with endless fun and health benefits but really, it provides dog parents with benefits as well.
