Play Areas and How We Separate Dogs in Our Pack


A question we’re often asked, especially by owners of smaller dogs, is ‘do you separate dogs based on size?’.  The short answer is: yes.  We separate dogs based on a number of factors, size being the most pronounced.  We may also separate based on temperament, age, play-style, and “proclivity”; by “proclivity” I mean that some dogs naturally gravitate towards certain members of their pack and away from others.  I liken it to children at school, or adults at a dinner party – we’re drawn and attracted to certain members of our species, sometimes for reasons that are obvious and other times almost energetically and inexplicably.

Based on these factors, we will separate dogs as needed in one of five separate “play pens”.  The inside of our daycare has three separate play pens.   We also have a 2,500 square foot outdoor play space that is sectioned off equally into two separate play areas.  ForeverLawn’s patented K9 Grass (https://k9grass.com/) is installed in our outdoor areas; both sections are disinfected daily (weather permitting) with the use of a wysiwash device (http://www.wysiwash.com).
