Pack Assessment
Our Pack Assessment is our chance to get to know your pup on a deeper level. We use this time to do a behavioral evaluation and determine how we can optimize their time here.
What to expect
$60
Our Pack Assessment is an opportunity for us to get to know your pup. It consists of a half-day of daycare. We take our time introducing them to the pack, observing their behavior, and allowing them to explore our space comfortably and at their own pace.
During your dog’s Pack Assessment we will note any discomfort or stress. By the end of the day, our team comes up with a custom-tailored plan to help your dog build their confidence and comfort in our space, if they need it. We will see how your dog does in one of our rooms as well, regardless if they are coming for daycare or boarding.
