We offer pre boarding and day care consultations over the phone. During the initial consultation, we learn about your dog‘s unique needs. We ask questions about their social, medical and behavioral history, their likes and dislikes, special handling needs, and care requirements. We use this information to place dogs appropriately in playgroups, and to better meet your dog‘s individual needs while they are staying with us.
If your dog has never boarded before, or has a history of separation anxiety, we may require a trial daycare or overnight in advance of a long stay. This allows us to assess how they respond to the Citizen Canine environment. This short trip to our facility also gives your dog a chance to “sniff us out.” Having a positive experience during the trial day helps assure your dog that Citizen Canine is a safe and fun place to visit.
Citizen Canine offers a highly interactive boarding experience where your dog will socialize with many people and dogs on a daily basis. This is not a safe or appropriate environment for all dogs, and in some cases, we may refer you to a different service that better suits your dog‘s needs.
