Hello Pet Parents! Here's a little bit about me:

I have been a professional dog trainer and canine behavior specialist for 20 years, working with pet parents and their pups with behavioral issues such as reactivity, aggression, shyness, and fearfulness, as well as doing puppy training and enrichment consulting. I worked in the veterinary field for nine years. In 2000 I started her pet care busine

ss, offering pet sitting and dog walking specializing in pets who need extra care. In 2016 I opened my Doggy Daycare Enrichment Center in Seaside,CA. I complete continuing education each year and hold numerous certifications and credentials including CPDT- KA, IAABC-ADT Accredited Professional Dog Trainer, Fear Free Professional Animal Trainer, Fear Free Doggy Day Care Provider, AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, Therapy Dog Trainer and Certified Enrichment Technician. I was voted "Monterey County Best" in the Monterey County Herald for four years running in two categories, Best Dog Training and Best Doggy Daycare. I would love to work with you and your pup!!

I had my first session with Arthur who is unsure about new people coming into his home. We had a great session going at his pace and giving him lots of space and choice. And this was him after the session it was a huge mental workout.

Maggie's first time on this Trail. We are working with her on her reactivity towards other dogs and being overstimulated by things in the environment. She did really well and is making huge strides

Even though now that Shasta is over 12 years old and has gone through training in his life we still practice on a regular basis. Since I was needing to get some things out of the van I decided to practice some distant stays out in the front yard. He did great!!!

This is Bailey & Buddy they are 1 year old and I've had the pleasure to work with them and their wonderful parents for the last couple months. These kiddos have come Leaps and Bounds!! We've been able to attain so many goals over the last several weeks including calmly meeting visitors, hanging out with the parents outside safely, walking well on leash, and lowering their energy levels to a more relaxed state where before they were stuck in the state of overstimulation. The dogs always tell us if the homework was done and these boys parents did an amazing job!!🖤

This is why I do what I do! Love to see pet parents working as a team with their pups!

Practicing some "place" work while watching 👀 the world 🌎 go by

Waiting for to-go Shasta doing his job.

This behavior took time and effort from me and Shasta to learn.

Teaching your dog to be able to settle in different environments is an important skill.

I would start by practicing with lots of distance like maybe at a park bench and watching the world go by while reinforcing by saying yes and treating when they look at another dog or look at something in the environment and don't have big feelings. Reward & reinforce any calm behaviors or any behaviors you like seeing 👀 😉

Shasta wouldn't have been able to do this long of a walk because of his arthritis. But by using a stroller, he can get out and sniff and roll in the grass, and then I'll put him back in the stroller, and we can go for a nice long walk. So he gets the best of the adventure.

Allowing your dogs to observe their environment is not only a great enrichment activity because it helps them to work their minds, get some extra sniffing, and works their problem solving skills but it also reinforces calm relaxed behavior. Watching the world go by with LOTS of Distance is a great Enrichment activity for any dog but it can have added benefits for high energy dogs to teach them to relax a bit more while draining some mental energy. It can also be beneficial for fearful dogs because it gives them time to observe the environment at their own pace which can help them see the triggers might not be as scary. you can also pair this activity with look at that training where you mark with a yes or a clicker anytime they see something in the environment and don't have big feelings about it and then give them a treat. these activities over time can help change their emotional responses to things in the environment #enrichmentfordogs #forcefreedogtraining

Our Story

We Are Not Just a Daycare, We Offer Enrichment for Your Precious Pup!

If dogs are always learning, why have them learning unwanted habits throughout the day?

At Doggy Daycare, we work with and train each dog individually who walks through the doors of our enrichment center. Things as simple as patience while waiting at entry/exit ways, being flexible in play styles between dogs of different sizes, as well as obedience and trick commands; our goal is for each dog to learn or reinforce a positive and welcomed behavior each and every day they spend with us!

We are not the average Doggy Daycare, but rather the one that your pup has dreamt of! Our enrichment center is different from other daycares for two reasons:

1. Our center is set up entirely with the dogs in mind! When a dog comes in contact with our play and napping areas as well as the staff, the homey and comfortable feel assists in healing any anxieties or fears your pup may have when being introduced to a new place. This allows for relaxed play, exploration, training, and true R&R in the afternoons.

2. Your pup is always rewarded for beneficial behaviors or diverted from unwanted behaviors through positive methods, which assists in their focusing and recall abilities and encourages active engagement and participation in the various activities throughout the day.

Learning is Constantly Occurring in Different Forms.

-Even though practicing to hop into a tire may not seem like a worthwhile activity to a human, to a dog there is profound opportunity in this simple action!

-Simple actions such as these teaches dogs to gauge their environment, working their minds and bodies in a different way compared to one on one play with their companions and toys on an unobstructed surface.

-Instead of a single minded action of following a command such as, “sit,” for a treat, they are actively engaging with their environment and unraveling a puzzle and the best mode of action to obtain an incentive, treats!

We are and Enrichment Center Because…

-One of our main goals is to help your dog find his/her passion; from brain games, interactive play with the staff or their doggy friends, or long walks on the dog friendly local beaches and trails, we want your pup to be excited about and invested in the activities they participate in every day that they are with us!

-We would love to chat with you more about all that we offer here at Doggy Daycare and Enrichment Center! We would love to schedule a temperament assessment for your dog to begin enrollment in our program!
