For reactive dogs, a traditional dog daycare setting can be overwhelming and even trigger more anxiety.

Reactive dogs often benefit from a customized program that takes into account their specific needs and triggers.

Some dog daycare centers offer private suites or separate areas for reactive dogs to help them feel more at ease.

These private suites can be equipped with calming aids such as pheromone diffusers and calming music to reduce stress.

What We Offer

We specialize in providing a comfortable atmosphere for reactive dogs, which we refer to as "indos". They're given individual activities instead of group ones to help them adjust.

Our individualized activities for reactive dogs include agility exercises using A-frames, tunnels, and hurdles, as well as fetching with a frisbee or tennis ball, and treadmill exercise. We also use rope toy tugging and Fit Paws equipment to help them play and engage with other dogs respectfully.

We offer a range of services for reactive dogs, including dog daycare, dog boarding, dog training, and managing reactivity.

Programs

At our dog daycare, we understand that every dog is unique and not all fit the traditional social mold. Our reACTIVATE program is specifically designed for reactive dogs, recognizing that they often act out due to fear, unsocialization, or protectiveness.

We start with individual activities, providing a safe space for them to play and engage with other dogs in a respectful manner. This is why we refer to reactive dogs as "indos" and tailor our approach to meet their specific needs.

Our customized program incorporates Breed Aware Care, which looks at the unique behaviors and personalities of each dog and matches them with activities that fulfill their needs. This might include agility exercises, fetching, or treadmill exercise.

These activities provide structure, physical activity, and personalized care, all of which are beneficial in helping reactive dogs adjust and build confidence.
