*Day Camp*


Happy Campers Pet Lodge has 2 options for Day Camp:
  • GROUP PLAY DayCamp in the GROUP DayCamp room (DayCamp Jr., DayCamp)
OR
  • DayCamp in a Suite

Group Play is NOT training for pets to learn socialization.  Group Play is for pets that already know how to socialize.  If your pet does not have these skills, we recommend TRAINING to help your pet learn these skills as well as basic commands needed for group play.  Refer to our TRAINING tab.  Even though we try everything possible for your pet to socialize with others, please keep in mind NOT all dogs are suited for play with others, or for GROUP PLAY in the GROUP Daycare room.   We reserve the right to refuse those from GROUP PLAY if they are pushy, play rough, mouthy, bark excessively or hump their friends. We will be happy to look at alternative daycare options other than group play- such as Day Stay in a suite with a patio.  

GROUP PLAY Eligibility:  Dogs have to be APPROVED by us for GROUP PLAY in the GROUP Daycare room. If your dog has not participated in group play with us before, please call the office at 478-994-7387 to schedule a TEST DAY.  TEST DAYS for Group Play are a one time fee of $40.  Dogs will have a reservation in a suite before they are put directly into a group situation.  Some pets adjust quickly and can be put in the GROUP PLAY daycare room, some pets take more than one attempt, some pets are NOT suited for GROUP PLAY.

This is a great article regarding GROUP daycare. 
Is Doggy Daycare Right for EVERY Dog? (iheartdogs.com) ​by Kristina Lotz
 
We assess for the following during TEST DAYS (for GROUP PLAY):
  1. Dog must be aware of the handler/person in the room to recognize body language and basic commands.                
  2. Dog must be able to read the other dogs in the group to know when to play and when not to.
  3. Having an off switch to relax and enjoy down time as well as play time.
  4. Being respectful of their playmates.
  5. Having the ability to share toys without being possessive.
  6. Being able to share handler/person in the room without jealousy.
  7. All dogs bark at one time or another but excessive barking will not be allowed.
  8. Pets must exhibit a balanced nature without extreme anxiety or fearfulness.
  9. Dogs may not have any aggressive tendencies. Some dogs may have no problem making new friends when away from home, so we ask that you let us be the deciding factor.
  10. Dogs that have been in a dog fight may NOT attend group daycare. 

​
