Group Playtime for Your Dog in Avon, IN

Group playtime is a daycare session add-on for boarding dogs. Rather than staying in their run during the day, your dog joins a supervised playgroup to socialize and burn energy with other dogs — all in a safe, well-monitored environment.

A temperament evaluation is a meet-and-greet assessment completed by one of our trained staff members. We'll ask a few questions about your dog, then introduce them gradually to a small group of well-balanced dogs in a calm, controlled setting. As your dog gets comfortable, we'll slowly integrate them into the main play group. Plan to leave your dog for a minimum of 3 hours for the evaluation.

A temperament evaluation is required for all new dogs participating in group playtime, and for any dog returning after a 6-month gap. We reserve the right to require additional evaluations if behavioral concerns arise. Dogs boarding without group activities do not need one.

Not every dog is a fit for group play - and that's completely okay. If your dog is close but not quite ready, we may recommend some additional training or socialization before returning for a re-evaluation. In the meantime, individual playtime sessions are a great alternative.

A fecal test is only required if your dog is participating in group activities such as Daycare or Group Play, and is required every 6 months for the health of the pack. We do offer these in-house at a rate that is usually the same or cheaper than vets.

Half-day daycare includes one session per day - either the morning session (starting at 9:30 AM) or the afternoon session (starting at 2 PM), available Monday through Saturday.

Full-day daycare includes both sessions.

Drop-off is anytime after 8 AM and pick-up is by 6 PM, or by 4 PM on Saturdays.

If your pet ever needs medical attention, our team acts quickly and consults with a veterinary provider to determine the best course of care. We work closely with local veterinary clinics and will always make every effort to bring your pet to their regular vet when possible. In urgent situations, we will transport your pet to the nearest emergency veterinary clinic without hesitation. Throughout any situation, we keep you informed every step of the way.

Absolutely! We offer tours any time during our normal business hours.

Yes, for the safety of Daycare and Group Play, all dogs must be spayed or neutered by the time they are 6 months old.

Your dog will be booked for a boarding night if available and additional charges will apply.

It really depends on your dog. Many of our older guests absolutely love the social interaction and thrive in the right group setting. We separate dogs by size and activity level, so a larger, mellower older dog would be grouped with similarly calm dogs rather than high-energy pups. Our staff constantly monitors each dog's behavior and will move any dog who seems tired or overwhelmed to a quieter setting. The temperament evaluation also helps us, and you, determine whether group playtime is the right fit.
