At our facility, we take immense pride in treating each and every pet as if they were our own.

Because to us, pets aren't just like family – they are family.

Whether your beloved companion is indulging in a vacation retreat, spending the day with us in our doggie daycare, or being pampered enjoying one of our spa experiences with our expert groomers,

rest assured they are in the best hands possible.

We believe in transparency and communication, which is why we provide daily photos and email updates, offering you peace of mind knowing that your pet is having a wonderful stay with friends in a

safe and loving environment.

Doggie Daycare

At Little Ponderosa Pet Resort & Spa, we understand that your dog is not just a pet, but a cherished member of your family. That's why we've created a safe and stimulating environment where your pawed family member can socialize, exercise, and receive the attention they deserve.

Why Choose Our Doggy Daycare?

  • Our team consists of passionate animal lovers who are dedicated to providing the highest level of care for your dog. 

  • Safe and Supervised Play Areas: We offer spacious outdoor play areas where dogs can romp and play freely under the supervision of our trained staff. Safety is our top priority, and we ensure that all dogs interact in a controlled and positive manner.

  • Socialization Opportunities: Dogs are social creatures by nature, and our daycare provides the perfect opportunity for them to interact with other dogs in a safe and controlled environment. Socialization helps build confidence, reduce anxiety, and improve overall behavior.

  • Regular Exercise: Regular exercise is essential for your dog's physical and mental well-being. Our daycare provides plenty of opportunities for your dog to run, play, and burn off excess energy, keeping them happy and healthy.

  • Convenient Hours: We offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times to accommodate your busy lifestyle.

What to Expect:

  • Structured Activities: Our daycare program includes a variety of structured activities to keep your dog engaged and entertained throughout the day. From group play sessions to individual enrichment activities, there's never a dull moment at our facility.

  • Rest and Relaxation: Just like humans, dogs need time to rest and recharge. We provide comfortable resting areas where dogs can take breaks as needed and recharge for their next play session.

  • Daily Message and pictures updates: At the end of each day, you'll receive a personalized  message regarding your dog's activities, during their time at Play and Learn or Day and Stay. It's our way of keeping you informed and involved in your pet's experiences while at our resort.

Rates and Packages:

  • Our daycare rates are affordable and designed to fit a variety of budgets. We offer packages to suit your needs, whether you're looking for occasional care or regular attendance.

  • Discounts are available for multiple days per week or for additional dogs from the same household.

How to Get Started:

  • Ready to enroll your dog in our daycare program? Simply contact us to schedule a meet-and-greet appointment and tour of our facility. During this time, we'll assess your dog's temperament and behavior to ensure they're a good fit for our daycare environment.

  • Prior to enrollment, all dogs must be up-to-date on vaccinations and pass a behavior assessment to ensure the safety and well-being of all our guests.

Training

 Our goal is to transform the dynamic relationship between people and their dogs from challenging to fulfilling, therefore creating a healthy, happy and respectful relationship between human and dog.

We are firm believers, and trainers of pack leadership. In order for any dog to reach its full potential as a well-behaved companion, it must feel secure in knowing that he is under the guidance of a trusted, loving and respected leader who will make appropriate, thoughtful decisions for the well-being of the entire pack. This allows the dog to do what it does best: be a follower and cooperative member within the pack. While our focus is on training dogs, we also train their pet parents. It allows us to reach training goals faster and make the results we achieve sustainable long after the training sessions have been completed.

Our individual training sessions are tailored to the dog's family's needs.

Contact us today to discuss you and your dog's goals.
