The Farmstead Pet Activity Center

The Farmstead Pet Activity Center The Farmstead PAC was designed to give your pet a place to engage in dog daycare activities to meet and fulfill their core animal instincts.

Easily accessible from the Glenn highway in downtown Eagle River, Alaska. Every pet should visit The Farmstead! Our facility incorporates 2500 square feet of indoor play space, 2500 square feet of outdoor covered play space with K9Grass (turf designed specifically for dogs) to escape the elements and 3000 square feet of uncovered outdoor play space to enjoy all the elements Alaska has to offer — s

un, snow, or rain. Your pet will also have access to a 15,000 square feet of natural grass play yard to participate in scheduled activities of your choosing. Additionally, we have 1700 square feet of space designed specifically for you to personally practice social skills with your dog— just like visiting Home Depot or Lowes, except our space was specifically created with you and your dog in mind. Stop in and we will give you a personal tour!

Starting daycare is a new adventure for many dogs, and it’s completely normal for them to take some time to adjust. Whether they’re naturally outgoing or a bit reserved, each dog experiences this transition differently. 

At The Farmstead PAC, we embrace every dog’s unique pace. With time, patience, and a structured environment, we’ve seen dogs blossom—discovering new activities, exploring with curiosity, and engaging in joyful play. 

If your dog is embarking on this journey, know that their state of mind valid, and we’re here to support them (and you) every step of the way. Together, we’ll help them build newfound confidence and truly find their groove. ❤️

Life gets busy, but your dog’s coat still needs care! ✨ Regular brushing helps keep their skin healthy, prevents painful mats, and gives them valuable handling experience. Plus, it lets us spot any bumps, tangles, or changes you might not have noticed. Let us take 15 minutes off your plate ⏳—sign up for a comb-out at the kiosk counter during your next daycare drop-off! ✍️🐶

Chewing isn’t just fun—it helps support dental health, provides mental enrichment, and satisfies their natural instincts. Win-win!

Setbacks aren’t failures—they’re lessons. Even great leaders face challenges, but they adapt, learn, and keep going.

This Presidents’ Day, let’s take a page from their book: when things don’t go as planned, see it as an opportunity to learn—about your dog, their needs, and how they learn best.

If you’re feeling stuck, you’re not alone. Keep going, adjust where needed, and remember—we’re always here to chat next time you’re at The Farmstead PAC!

Your dog isn’t eager to please—you just happen to like the things that please them.

Dogs don’t make choices based on a deep desire to make humans happy. They make choices based on what benefits them—whether that’s food, pleasure, or safety. If barking, jumping, or pacing gets them what they want, why would they stop?

The good news? You don’t need a people-pleaser. You just need to make calm behavior valuable for them. Let them out after they stand quietly at the door. Feed them after they settle. Reinforce what you want instead of what you don’t, and suddenly, calm becomes their go-to move.

Platform Work: More Than Just a Drop-Off Routine 🐾🧩

Getting on a platform isn’t just about daycare drop-offs—it’s a skill that builds clarity, confidence, and cooperation.

At The Farmstead PAC, we use platforms throughout the day to create calm, focused moments for the dogs. But this kind of work carries over into real life, too. Stepping onto a scale at the vet ⚖️, onto a grooming table ✂️, or even into the car 🚗—these all require a dog to pause, think, and react to guidance.

It’s more than just movement; it’s a mental exercise. A puzzle to solve. Practicing on different surfaces—like a bench at the park 🌳 or a rock on a hike ⛰️—can make your dog even more adaptable while strengthening your communication together.

And remember—progress isn’t about perfection. Maybe today your dog just places one paw on the platform instead of stepping on fully. That’s still a win! 🎉 The little moments of clarity add up, building a dog who is confident and ready to work with you in any situation.

Socializing doesn’t look the same for every dog, and that’s okay!

While some dogs thrive on playful wrestling, others are content just being part of the group from the sidelines. Whether they’re lounging, sniffing, or engaging in solo activities, these dogs are still benefiting from the social environment—just in a way that works for them.

At The Farmstead PAC, we embrace every dog’s unique style of socialization. Your dog doesn’t have to interact physically to feel like part of the pack—they’re still gaining confidence, learning boundaries, and enjoying the company of others in their own way.

Does your dog prefer solo activities or group play? Let us know below!

Staying informed and improving for the benefit of our clients and their dogs is always a priority! 🐾👣 Recently, our owners Tim and Julie attended an educational event focused on the pet care industry.

From refreshing their focus on disaster preparedness to gaining reinforcement for our Meet-n-Greet process, they left even more confident in our commitment to excellence. 💡One thing that stood out? Very few facilities use Meet-n-Greets the way we do—an approach rooted in dog psychology to set every dog up for success!

Tim and Julie attend multiple educational events each year, ensuring The Farmstead PAC remains a leader in pet care. 🐕Your pets deserve the best, and we’re here to deliver just that.

Rest is an essential part of every dog’s day, and at The Farmstead PAC, we make it a priority. 🐾 Just like humans, dogs need time to recover—both mentally and physically—to avoid overstimulation and stay at their best. That’s why we incorporate structured nap times during daycare. Most pups enjoy this downtime in cozy dens (we use ) or sweet suites, while others with particularly calm energy relax in open spaces. 🛏️💤

Rest helps prevent exhaustion, reduces the risk of injuries, and allows dogs to recharge before heading back out to play. Without proper breaks, even the most active dogs can push themselves too far, which can impact their overall health and well-being. Balance is key to keeping our packs happy and safe! 🐕✨

Did you know? Practicing skills when you don’t need them leads to better success when you do!

At The Farmstead PAC, we work on threshold manners during downtime in our activity rooms. Instead of using commands like ‘sit’ or ‘stay,’ we focus on fostering calm behavior using body language. Teaching dogs to pause calmly at gates and doors helps reduce excitement and sets them up for success during busier times—like when daycare dogs are heading home for the day.

Practicing patience when it’s not urgent builds confidence and sets a strong foundation for moments when it really matters!

🦠 Probiotics and enzymes naturally promote a healthy gut.

Plus, with our loyalty program, feeding your dog this wholesome diet is even easier: Buy 12 bags, get 1 free!

When it comes to your dog’s food, every choice matters. What’s in your pup’s bowl?

Cold, snowy days make walks tough—but your dog doesn’t have to miss out on exercise! 🐾

If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to walk your dog more, we can help you stay on track with a treadmill session during their daycare activity. It’s a fulfilling workout that supports their physical and mental health.

Along with exploring new scents in the Back-40, playing with friends in the yard, engaging in activity room fun, and enjoying nap breaks, treadmill time keeps your pup balanced and happy no matter the weather. 🌟 Sign up at the kiosk during drop-off!
