You might have noticed a few heating and cooling trucks around the daycare this past week. We are installing a new AC system for the large play areas. This should be perfect to keep the dogs cool over the summer months. We also have a new fence going up inside the play areas to allow easier access to the outside play area. Look for these changes to be done in the next few days.

We know even the small dogs need play time also. We had our first Tinny Tails Social Hour this week and it was a huge success! They will now be held the FIRST Wednesday of each month from 6:30-7:30pm. This will be a safe and supervised play group for dogs that are 15 pounds or less. Heather our trainer will supervise the weekly play groups.

This week we are trying something new with our nap times. We are doing a group naptime and not putting the dogs in the suites. Basically the dogs nap as a group in the room. So far is has been going great! If it keeps going this well, we will continue this approach since it is better for the dogs.
