Mobile Doggie Daycare Providers: As you probably know by now, there are two we refer - and only two. The reason is simple; We have known both Jenny and Holly for years. Both have trained with us and have a thorough knowledge of pack dynamics and behavior. They offer excellent care and customer service, and both are truly wonderful people! Although you will find several mobile providers listed on the internet, some will tell you they are and some will not. These two companies are the best and will definitely take the best care of your precious pooch.

We personally know many of the more established providers, both facility owners as well as mobile. We also know the horror stories, bad handling practices, and customer dissatisfaction issues. We have heard it all and have first-hand knowledge in many cases.

Mobile doggie daycare providers must possess safe transportation practices. Indeed any provider that offers drop-off and pick-up services must guarantee to transport your canine companion in a safe manner. Jenny and Holly do and excellent job with this as well.

If your daycare provider does not secure your dog in their vehicle by using a tether, harness, crate or other device that keeps your dog safe during transport, fire them. Harsh but necessary - your dog's life could depend on it. I have heard the excuses given by one mobile provider, who incidentally had a dog die in her care because it was not tethered down. Her reasoning was that a tethered dog could have it's neck injured in the event she had to slam on her brakes. (This dog had it's neck broken from slamming into to cab of her truck. Many of you have asked about this dog - it was actually my dog and I thank you for your kind words.) If this is still an issue for her then a harness or crate should be her method of transportation. But, I can only assume laziness is really the issue when a provider refuses to safely secure her client's beloved dogs.

Your daycare providers driving record should be examined as well. A truck with body damage could indicate an issue with safe driving practices. You can ask for proof of the number of tickets or accidents and then examine them for moving violations and at fault accident issues.

Referrals, Referrals, and More Referrals!: In conjunction with possessing the knowledge and skills necessary to care for your beloved pet in the first place, excellent referrals are vital! (Keyword "excellent") Getting an endorsement from us, or another well established professional dog trainer or behaviorist is a good start. But, several superior referrals can seal the deal. We can even provide referrals from customers we know have used area daycare's. We can provide outstanding ones as well as those from folks who dropped a daycare provider for cause. Get as much information about them as you can from wherever you can. Most providers are going to give you referrals from long-time clients. This can be good and bad. Referrals from a wide variety of sources are your best bet for a true and honest evaluation.

You Have To Like the Human: This is a no-brainer but worth mentioning. Does the provider seem open, trustworthy and personable? Does it seem like she really enjoys what she is doing as a profession? I had a customer tell me that she dropped her doggie daycare provider because she overheard her yelling at the dogs in her truck one day. Also, her kids told her that she yelled at them as well on several occasions. The final straw was her witnessing the provider speeding out of her neighborhood one morning - a neighborhood full of children playing.
