Analyzing behavior is vital for ensuring a joyful and healthy environment for all dogs at Pickles Playland
-
Meeting New Best Friends
We take joy in fostering friendships among dogs. During their time with us, we carefully observe your dog's body language and social cues to thoughtfully pair them with the most suitable playgroup. Not all dogs are compelled to engage in group play, approximately 25% prefer independent activities like judging the others from their comfortable beds. Nonetheless, it is essential that all dogs are amicable and compatible with others. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxed observation from a cozy bed or energetic bouts of running and wrestling, we ensure they are matched with like-minded companions.

Sharing is Caring
At Pickles, we are dedicated to elevating the daily comfort of dogs beyond the standard offerings found in most daycares. This commitment involves providing not only beds, chairs, toys, and cots but also promoting a shared environment among our furry best friends. Embracing the concept of shared spaces and possessions is integral to ensuring a joyous and engaging experience at Pickles. We kindly require all dogs to be at ease with the idea of sharing beds and toys for the collective enjoyment of our canine community.

Human Connections
Not every dog readily embraces affection from strangers, but we take pride in gradually earning the trust of even the most reserved canines. We seek a mutual understanding that involves a comfort level with handling, extending to the ability to pick up your dog in emergency situations and offering cuddles to the extent that aligns with their comfort. Becoming your dog’s best friend is our goal!

Mental Stability
Welcome to Pickles Playland, a distinguished 'Structured Daycare' founded and overseen by a dedicated canine behaviorist. Our commitment to the mental stability of every dog is integral to fostering a joyful and thriving environment. During our evaluation process, we assess your dog's capability to enjoy their time away from you without excessive barking or whining, emphasizing overall mental stability. Our mission is to guide your dog in experiencing pure delight while you're occupied, and achieving this requires a foundational level of mental stability nurtured at home. Join us as we create a haven where your dog can learn and have a fantastic time in a carefully structured setting.

The Process
Upon gathering all the pertinent details for you and your furry soulmate, including vaccine and fecal test information, we'll arrange a behavioral analysis (referred to as 'BA'). This involves entrusting your dog to our team of canine experts for approximately 4 hours. The process allows your dog to observe various play areas and gravitate towards their preferred social environment. Ensuring a safe and friendly atmosphere is paramount, with your dog wearing a drag leash within their play group for added safety. We'll provide a text update after 2 hours and a concluding phone call at the 4-hour mark to keep you informed about your dog's experience. Additionally, your dog will undergo a kennel comfort test during the analysis, in-case of you choose to boarding with us in the future.
