At Barkalounge Doggy Daycare, dogs are broken up into small playgroups (typically 12 dogs) based on temperament and interaction. The daytime dog-sitters provide year-round indoor exercise, healthy treats, positive socialization, and plenty of attention. After an initial screening to approve your dog's social skills toward others, you can leave knowing your loyal companion is in good hands. Every staff member is required to be certified by the American Red Cross in canine CPR and first aid, and all dogs older than six months of age must be spayed or neutered to avoid surprise puppies. You must provide evidence of up-to-date vaccinations before you can drop off your pooch. Call ahead to schedule your dog's visit; dates are subject to availability.

During the stable’s 60-minute lessons, the duo focuses on the disciplines of saddle seat, hunt seat, and western riding, alotting 10 minutes at the beginning and end of each lesson for horse care and the traditional swap of pen-pal addresses between the horse and rider.
