Temperament TestBefore your dog is able to join daycare, they must complete a temperament test. This will allow our trainer to get to know the dog's temperament, make sure they are able to play nicely with other dogs. This can also be used as a means to determine a training plan for your dog.
Before your first day, please complete our daycare temperament test application form below or pick one up at our facility

Structured Daycare
|
Our structured daycare program is a unique service only offered at Rock River Pet Resort!
Your dog will spend the day playing with their friends in the playgroup and working with one of our three trainers, with a nap/break during the day. Our Structured Daycare gives your pup more structure to their day, gets their brains working, and provides the opportunity to learn basic obedience. Mental stimulation requires just as much or more energy than does playtime in a playgroup, so your pooch will be ready to come home after their day of mental and physical stimulation in Structured Daycare to snuggle and sleep! |

Rates
The Training ProcessWhen your dog first begins Structured Daycare, they will begin with basic obedience and progress in tasks as your dog continues to come to Structured daycare and builds a foundation for learning. The stage of training your dog is in will determine what your dog learns/works on throughout their day of Structured Daycare.
If you are wanting your dog to work on a specific task, please ask one of our trainers.
