Dog Tired Expanding to second Anchorage location

Dog Tired Doggie Daycare is proud to announce it is expanding to a second location in Anchorage. Due to the increasingly high demand for daycare and continual requests for additional services such as overnight accommodations and training, we have secured a new 18,000 plus square foot facility which is scheduled to open late this summer. The new state of the art facility will include six new daycare classrooms, fifty-four overnight suites, a 6500 square foot training facility, and a wireless internet café and retail store. To help celebrate our expansion, Sarah Kalnajs, CDBC, CPDT, will be here August 9 & 10th offering a behavior seminar to our clients, staff and interested community members.

Check out our expansion link for updates throughout the summer months.

Doggie Daycare vs. the Dog Park

The difference between doggie daycares and dog parks/group of loose dogs is a controlled environment.  Here at Dog Tired, the staff assumes the position of "alpha." The dogs in day care quickly learn to recognize staff members as the leaders of the pack. We, as staff, are able to formulate the best playgroups, match dogs of similar sizes, similar play styles, etc. Staff also step in to help puppies (aka, "doggie nerds" as we like to call them) appropriately interact with his/her adult peers. In addition, we help dogs understand when another dog is not in the mood to play, redirecting their attention and/or matching them with other equally playful dogs. Staff has the luxury of selecting only those dogs suited for doggie daycare. Lastly, we keep all food out of the communal areas to curtail food aggression among the dogs.
