Hotel Guests & Day Play are on the same routine.
The daily routine at the hotel is always on schedule and a very important component to our program. Dogs like children feel more stable and secure when they know what is coming.
Keeping a daily routine where active play, potty breaks, feeding, rest and love happen at the same times every day can alleviate anxiety. That way your pup can rest assure that all their needs will always be met, which means a calmer happier dog. Rotating your pup to the different rooms not only breaks up their day but allows our staff to deep-clean and sanitize the facility daily.
Daily Routine:
6:30 - 8:00 am
Morning walk / Breakfast for Hotel guests
7:00 am
Hotel Opens / Early Drop-off for Day Play.
8:00 am - 12:30 pm
Active Play: Play, running around and releasing energy is encouraged during this time. Throughout this block of time we encourage 15 - 30 mins of play and then we break for the training activity. Everyone gets one-on-one attention and activities are led in small groups. Then we play again, then train and the rotation continues.
12:00 - 1:00 pm
Outside Potty Break: Some days walks are longer than others depending on the weather and size of day play group. All pups are walked on either their own or OMD provided harness.
Mandatory water break. Each pup is given their own bowl of fresh water and we make sure everyone gets a good drink!
12:30 - 1:30 pm
Lunch and in-room rest time for hotel guests and full day players.
1:30 - 6:00 pm
Heart Lounge love time. This is where the pups are encouraged to relax or have mild play engagement. Our attendants give each pup lap time, snuggle time, love time and massages. During this time we also check to make sure everyone is healthy and clean before they head home or turn into their room for the night.
5:00 - 7:00 pm
Dinner for Hotel guests, night time potty break and tuck in for bed.
