Information for New Clients....
Our classrooms are currently full! Openings are filled from
our wait lists. The waiting time depends on space availability, but our
satisfied clients will tell you that Dog Tired is more than worth the wait!
We have two lists: one for large dogs, and one for small dogs.
Small dogs are considered 30lbs or less at maturity. Any dog over 30lbs at
maturity is considered a large dog for the purpose of our waitlist.

Did They Pass the Test?
I’ve been
surprised how often I’ve heard dog owners say with relief in their voices, “my
dog passed the temperament test and has been accepted into doggy daycare”, but
when I ask the owner questions about the daycare, I discover that the owners did
very little investigation. As with any facility or service, it’s important to be
an informed consumer. We have a list of suggested questions to ask of a
potential daycare provider. Click here for

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.

This year we decided to do our holiday portraits a bit
different from the past. Miss Peg and I pulled dogs out out of their
classrooms one by one and I took individual portraits. They can be
