Admission Process

Is doggy daycare suitable for my dog?

Doggy daycare is not suitable for all dogs. It is a fast-paced, exciting, and often overwhelming environment – for some dogs, this is too much action.

We’ll always be honest with our assessment, so if your dog is not happy during doggy daycare, we’ll suggest alternative services or training that may increase their confidence and comfort. Some dogs are happiest at home! When your dog is happy, we’re happy!

We do not require the dogs who attend to be desexed, rather we base it on their temperament as to whether they are suitable for our environment.

Would you like your doggo to join doggy daycare at BB’s?

First things first, they will need to attend a temperament trial visit before being accepted for ongoing casual visits.

What’s involved in a temperament trial?

4-hour visit scheduled in the early morning from 7am – 11am. 

The timeframe for a temperament trial is non-negotiable. Booking early in the day allows your dog to enter the facility prior to other dogs arriving and the facility becoming busy. It affords staff the time to bond with your dog, build rapport and undergo the initial part of their assessment prior to assessing their interactions with other dogs.  

You (or an emergency contact) must be available and have your phone on during your dog trial visit. We will not house your dog unnecessarily if they are not enjoying the experience.

During a temperament trial your dog will undergo a behavioural assessment to deem whether they will be suitable for our environment.

They will be tested on the following: 

  • Interaction with humans
  • Interaction with smaller & larger dogs
  • Basic recall 
  • Basic obedience & manners
  • Ability to share toys
  • Ability to share treats
  • Play style and social skill set in a group along with 1:1 with a dog

You will receive a written report card and verbal feedback at the end of your dog’s trial letting you know if they are suitable for our program, how they went along with further suggestions for future visitations.
