Don’t let your busy schedule interfere with your fur child's well-being. The Mindful Mutt provides the mental and physical exercise your dog needs to be healthy and happy.

​

WHAT MAKES US BETTER THAN THE AVERAGE DAYCARE?

The Mindful Mutt's daycare revolves around the understanding that dogs need reliable routines and boundaries, as well as mental and physical stimulation.

We believe your dog is technically "training" 24-hours a day, whether you realize it or not. Dogs learn from their environment like sponges absorb water, and they benefit from thoughtful, consistent leadership both during a training session or out in the real world. Without direction from leadership, dogs think they either must fend for themselves or there are no rules and it's the Wild West out here. (And, for the record, this is NOT the Wild West; This is Boston.)

​

Our daycare program is different from the "play-all-day" and "indoor dog park" models of daycare you might be familiar with. Our program enriches your dog's daily routine, reinforces positive behaviors, and can even teach an old dog some new tricks! 

​

We provide every dog with:

• Supervised playtime to practice appropriate socialization in small groups based on size and disposition

• Enrichment activities such as the doggie treadmill, agility, balance activities, puzzles, and doggie "games"

• Basic obedience with positive reinforcement of good behaviors throughout the day

• Scheduled nap-time for mental/emotional balance and preventing overstimulation (which can manifest in excessive barking, mouthiness, pacing, panting, humping, etc.)

• Potty breaks outside

​

Please note: Dog Daycare is not a replacement for obedience training. Consistent obedience training at home will allow us to positively reinforce wanted behaviors during daycare. Our program is also not designed as behavior modification training, and we do enforce behavior rules to keep a safe and calm pack environment.
