Doggie Daycare Enrichment
Tail Country Doggie Daycare Enrichment focuses on smaller playgroups in a controlled and supervised environment under the watchful eyes of trained, caring professionals. Your dog will enjoy a more personal and safer experience.
The dogs are carefully grouped together in like sized dogs with similar temperaments. This will optimize socialization, play, safety and exercise. We team up to 15 dogs in each play group with a trained/certified daycare leader. This allows a stress-free environment where dogs can freely run and play. All dogs must be spayed or neutered by the age of 8 months in order to participate in socialized daycare. Dogs who are not altered (spayed or neutered) may be enrolled in our Enrichment League Daycare.
Your dog will enjoy the temperature controlled indoor play area as well as the outdoor play yards. We have outdoor playtime to make sure all the dogs receive fresh air and sunshine. Each outdoor play area is covered in artificial turf for a softer and safer surface. The outdoor play area is surrounded by 6’ fencing and the entire play yard has 8’ tall fencing. Our double fenced outdoor facility provides twice the safety and protection for your dog.
Ask about our discounted Daycare Enrichment Packages for single and multi-dog families. Two or more dogs from the same household receive a discounted rate per dog when coming to daycare on the same day.
Morning Half-Day Daycare
Morning drop off by 6:30 a.m. – 8:45. Pick up 12:00 noon to 1:00 p.m.
Daycare check list: What to bring
- Tail Country requires all forms and vaccination records at least one week prior to your dog’s initial daycare visit.
- Optional: Food if you want your dog fed during the day or if you would like to provide a special treat.
Typical Day
Curbside service is provided for our daycare guests. Please try to have your dog relieve themselves in the designated area prior to entering Tail Country. A daycare leader or enrichment coach will greet you, ask about any special instructions, and then walk your dog back to the Zen Den where they will be assigned to a private condo. Your dog’s leash, collar and any other items will be placed in their own storage bin. A tag-free daycare collar will be assigned to your dog. Once all dogs have arrived, it is time to play. Our daycare leaders and enrichment coaches are trained in canine body language and will observe for any dog demonstrating any disruptive behavior. Rest time is a very essential part of daycare. Dogs that get overly tired are less tolerant and grumpier which increases risk of injury. After morning daycare enrichment, each dog goes to their private condo where they can rest, enjoy a treat or lunch while listening to paw selected music. After an adequate rest period, we are ready to resume our afternoon daycare session.
Schedule an appointment for Daycare Playgroup Compatibility Evaluation
We require a trial day or “temperament evaluation” for any new daycare guest. The purpose of a trial is to measure your dog’s compatibility with our other guests. It also allows us to get to know your dog as well for them to “sniff around” and get familiar with our staff and surroundings at Tail Country. We will introduce your dog safely and slowly to a few dogs and then ultimately to an entire play group of like sized dogs with similar temperaments. We observe very carefully to make sure your dog is displaying proper canine body language and is not demonstrating any aggressive or destructive behaviors. We make sure your dog is having a good time playing with the group. At pick up, a daycare staff member will review your dog’s Playgroup Compatibility Evaluation.
Please call to schedule your dog’s Daycare Playgroup Compatibility Evaluation. There is a fee for the evaluation.
Veterinary Care
In the unlikely event that your dog needs medical attention; we will make every effort to contact you. If you cannot be reached, we will contact your veterinarian and provide transportation. If your veterinarian is not available, your dog will receive medical care from the veterinary services available to TCPR.
An isolation room is available for any dog that may become ill during daycare. The isolation room will allow your dog to be closely watched and cared for by our staff until you arrive.

Daycare Cancellation Policy
Because we limit the number of dogs per day in our daycare, we have a waiting list of dogs that are looking forward to a play day. If you need to cancel your daycare reservations, please call or send an email ASAP to let us know not to expect your dog for that day. As long as we receive a phone call or email before the day of your reservation, there will be no penalty. If you cancel the same day or you are a no show, a fee may be added to your account.
