DOG DAY CARE IS AVAILABLE IN BALLARD ONLY
OUR DAYCARE PHILOSOPHY
Healthy, happy dogs need social interaction, stimulation (mental and physical) and guidance. Dog’s Day Out is a comprehensive training and day care facility providing training, exercise, safe socialization and specialized small day care with a strong emphasis on educating both the human, and the canine companion.
YOUR DOG’S DAY!
Dog’s Day Out provides a structured, but stimulating day for your dog. Day care hours are 7:00am – 6:30pm Monday through Thursday at our Ballard facility only – 6733 15th Ave NW 98117. We do offer Drop-off Puppy & Teens Camps at our Burien location.
We differ from many dog day care centers in three ways:
1. We are dedicated to remaining small (only 15 dogs allowed per day) to prevent potential problems related to too many dogs in one space, and so that all dogs are guaranteed individual attention. We may have a wait list for day care, but we are worth the wait! Also, we can often get you in on our “floating” space before a regular space opens up.
2. We maintain a strong focus on positive education, behavior and training. We are a training and behavior center with all staff members having extensive knowledge in canine behavior. Thus, we are able to avoid any problematic behaviors that could occur by recognizing them and stopping them before they escalate.
3. We’re pioneers! We have been in this business since 2000! We were the second facility to open in Seattle. We have experience and we continue with our passion for behavior, we continue to learn.
Because no one should be exercising 8-11 hrs per day (!), daily schedules will also include periods of quiet time and rest for each dog. Then, of course, there’s cookie time! Treats may given (but of course, they must be earned!)
It is extremely important to us that not only does your dog get sufficient exercise while here but also that he leaves us with his manners in tact! We reinforce desired behaviors throughout the day because we know a well-mannered dog is definitely more fun to live with.
