Why is a Pet Meet and Greet (Temperament Evaluation) required?
Safety of our furry guests, their humans, and our amazing staff is our top priority! While animals may sometimes engage in unexpected and unpredictable behavior, a Temperament Evaluation gives us the opportunity to get to know your furry friend and better understand what they like and don't like. This helps ensure a safe, happy, and fun Doggie Daycare experience for all!
How long will it take and how much does it cost?
Temperament evaluations last approximately 1 - 2 hours and are conducted at NO COST to the owner. In order for us to best get to know your pet, we ask that owners leave their furry friend with us after a brief introduction.
Are there breed restrictions?
Barklandia does not put restrictions on dog breeds. However, dogs with aggressive tendencies or overly fearful dogs may not be a good fit for Doggie Daycare.
If my dog does not do well during the Meet and Greet, does that mean he or she can't come to Barklandia?
The health and safety of our guests is our top priority. If a dog does not seem like a good fit for off leash group play, we will be happy to help your doggie learn and grow! Our experienced trainer may be able to help overcome behaviors that are hindering your dog’s participation in group play. There may be some instances when a dog does not pass the Temperament Evaluation due to reasons that are non-aggressive in nature. Depending on capacity, we may be able to provide individual playtime and exercise time for these circumstances.
