Meet and Greet
During the Meet & Greet we observe your dog's reaction the moment they walk through the door. How does your dog respond to the noise of other dogs? How does your dog engage with our team? Is your dog relaxed or tense?
Assessment Process
Dog Assessments
All dogs joining Springfield day care are assessed to ascertain that an open plan, cage free environment is right for your dog and that your dog is a suitable candidate for Dog Day Care.
The Springfield Dog Centre Team
The Process
If your dog is deemed suitable to progress after meet and greet, they are invited to attend day care for a thorough in-house assessment over 4 hours with close monitoring by our play team.
Their First Day
On their first day, they are introduced to dogs of a similar temperament. Once settled, we gradually introduce other dogs attending day care. The aim is to help your dog make canine friends and avoid overwhelm.
Assurance
If at any point your dog appears uncomfortable, we immediately remove them from the situation. We then review why this happened and work on a positive plan that works for everyone.
Report
At the end of the assessment period, owners receive updates on behaviour, friendships, play interactions, and activities. If there are any issues, we provide advice and explain the management strategies used in day care.
