Mental and physical enrichment is our top priority along with structured downtime for proper rest. Our daycare dogs have plenty of wide open space to have fun running around the paddock, go on daily Sniffari's, play with their friends in the beach area, splash in the pool and even have kangaroos and sheep sometimes walking by. We have structured downtime and naps throughout the day to ensure everyone is getting adequate rest and not becoming over-stimulated.

This depends on owners and dogs' needs. Currently we have dogs that come anywhere from once to four times per week.
