In order for your dog to have the best experience possible at The Farm’s Dog’s Day Out daycare program, it is important to determine how the program can be tailored to your dog.
Step One: Learn about both the Singular Dog and the Woof Club programs
Just as children benefit from the company of other children, so do dogs benefit from being around other dogs. Dogs who have only been around humans may not be familiar with “canine etiquette,” because dogs learn vital lessons from each other. Thus, if they are intentionally or accidentally placed in a situation where they will encounter another dog, they may be unsure of how to react. Play with other dogs also promotes health through mental balance and physical fitness.
Therefore, even if your dog has never been exposed to other dogs, it is never too late to see if he or she would do well in groups!
Step Two: Fill out the Application for Daycare/Registration Form
This set of questions gives the Dog’s Day Out staff a wealth of information that will aid them in understanding your dog and how to best evaluate him or her. Click here to open the Application for Daycare form in a new window. You will also need to fill out the New Client Registration Form if you have not already done so.
Step Three: Schedule Your Dog’s First 2 Days
- In order to properly assess your dog, we request that you schedule your dog to come twice within a period of seven (7) days.
- Additionally, we request that your dog’s first two days last a minimum of six (6) hours, or a full day of daycare.
To schedule your dog’s first two days, contact Guest Services by phone (615) 662-6628 or guestservices@thefarmatnatcheztrace.com.
Additional Notes:
- As dogs get older or circumstances change, their suitability for groups may change as well. Thus, a dog’s role in Dog’s Day Out may require re-assessment.
- Unneutered male or unaltered female dogs 6 months or older are NOT eligible for Woof Club. However, they may still be allowed to participate in one or several group play sessions as part of Singular Dog.
