Question 1

What is a solo dog? Is my dog solo?

Accepted Answer

Solo dogs are unsuited for group play due to their preference for human companionship over that of other dogs. They may be fearful of other dogs or have other personality traits that necessitates their status as solo. In some instances a dog is kept out of group play by owner request. Solo dogs are provided a private yard or outdoor dog run where they can safely enjoy the sunshine and companionship of our staff. Solo dogs will incur an additional $10 fee per day of daycare and boarding. We offer solo daycare packages at reduced rates.

As hormones kick in, it may be necessary to separate them from group play for their safety and comfort. Solo dogs are provided a private yard or outdoor dog run where they can safely enjoy the sunshine and companionship of our staff.
