Any dog showing signs of
aggression is immediately removed from daycare. Only friendly dogs are
allowed at Country Dog.
If a fight does break out we use the
hose to cool them off and then remove them from the Daycare area. The
hose is ONLY used on dogs for this type of issue.
-
We do use a squirt water
bottle for the initial correction which is associated with a verbal correction
of Ahh Ahh or Leave It or Be Nice. All dogs are worked with to teach
them No Jumping, No Biting, Sit, Down, Stay, Leave It, Be Nice, Come, Wait and
Relax.
-
Every dog MUST be Current on
their shots - Rabies, Distemper/Parvo, Corona, Kennel Cough (Bordatella),
Influenza, and a negative Stool sample.
-
Every 6 Months
-
Yes, our floors are painted
with Epoxy, which has a very fine sand in the paint to help with slipping.
The floors get hosed down every evening.
-
We use a mop to clean up any
soiled areas. This is to ensure not to spread urine or feces around the
play area. This helps cut down on bacteria and urinary track infections.
Hence why they all go home CLEAN and DRY!
-
On special occasions we will
allow the dog owner to come and visit the Daycare. On a general basis we
do not let people go into the daycare area because of insurance reasons.
But Parents are more than welcomed to look through the windows to watch their
dog play!

to illness, dehydration and such.
