We're embarking on another exploration mission! If you're working with your dog on socializing to a particular activity, we'd be delighted to incorporate it into our walks. After all, it's always easier to learn with your furry friends, who can show you the ropes.

Established Groups
It's essential for us to form established groups to ensure your pup feels safe in a consistent and secure environment. That way, after a long day, they won't be completely worn out.
Home environment
Your dog will feel like they're visiting a friend, not just a daycare. Our cozy environment and attentive care will ensure they're happy and content during their stay.
Small Groups
Our groups are limited to 6-8 dogs, ensuring that each pup receives the individualized care and attention they deserve.
Dog Trainer
With a team of professional dog trainers, we are dedicated to providing the best possible care for your pup. Our experience and expertise allow us to gain a deeper understanding of your dog's behavior and needs so that they are provided the most effective care.
Structured Day
Structuring your dog's environment helps them to quickly feel secure and comfortable in a group setting. We strive to create an atmosphere where they can be their true selves and feel accepted.
Eye Level
At my Bark & Bone there is no hierarchy, only mutual trust. We will not use treats, commands, or punishment to help your dog become part of the pack. With our guidance, your pup will quickly become a valued member of the daycare family.

If you’d like to switch your dog’s regular daycare day:
Occasional Swaps: You can swap your dog’s regular day for another within the same week if there’s availability. Please contact us in advance to check.
Missed Days: Missed days can also be rescheduled, but we need at least 48 hours’ notice to make adjustments. The missed day must be used within the allowed timeframe based on your membership type.
Permanent Changes: If you’d like to permanently change your dog’s regular day, let us know! We’ll do our best to accommodate your request based on availability.
-
If you need a longer break, you can cancel your membership and rejoin later. However, keep in mind that your spot may not be available when you return, as spaces are limited.
-
We require a 1-month notice for any changes or cancellations to your daycare membership.
For example, if you inform us by the 30th of this month, your membership will end or adjust at the end of the following month.
-
Unfortunately, female dogs in heat cannot attend daycare for the safety and comfort of all dogs.
We understand the importance of responsible pet care and proudly support owners who choose to keep their dogs intact. To accommodate this, we offer a membership pause of up to 3 weeks to cover your dog’s heat cycle. This ensures her spot is held, and she can return to daycare once her cycle is complete.
