Do you separate dogs by size in Daytime Retreat?

We do not separate dogs by size or any other criteria for Daytime Retreat. We have found that a good mix of breeds creates a fun and inviting atmosphere for all who participate.

Are there any dogs not allowed to play in Daytime Retreat?

We do not accept pit bulls in Daytime Retreat and require all dogs to be spayed or neutered. We also require all participants to be on a current, effective, flea preventative.

Can I bring my dog’s food, treats, or toys to Daytime Retreat?

Because some dogs can get possessive of “his things” when other dogs are around, we ask that you do not bring any items from home.  If your furry friend needs a meal or medications during his Daytime Retreat visit we will gladly accommodate such a request. We will provide his meal or medications away from the group and then he can return to the group for more fun when he is done.
