Afternoon Pupdate πΎ
Today we had Hank, Lola, Poppy, Billy, Buddy, Kota, Auggy, Tripp, Daisy, Emory, Darla, Charles, Milo, Ollie, Loki, Lillie, Kryllen, Krueggar, Marley, Greta, Vladi, Hazelnut, Sadie, Xena, Sasha, Charlie, Maverick, Hoss, Kelly, Bailey, Daisy, George, Koda, Milo, Malachi, and Walter. ππ‘ It was a windy day! We took down the Halloween decorations and banners to save them. They'll go up again tomorrow. Don't forget to stop by at 6:00-?:?? π½πβ°οΈ
Today we also had our inspection! π Unfortunately this time we did have a few violations. BOOOOO There goes our perfect streak! π All Kaitlyn's fault π€£ Since we operate more than 12 dogs per day, we are required to have what's called a conditioning care program. Our program isn't signed by our vet! And Kaitlyn works for her! π
So we need to get that signed and taken care of. The 2nd does have to do with records. Although we have records, we cannot access them quick enough. π¨ALL RECORDS MUST BE EMAILED FROM THIS POINT FORWARD.π¨ Having all records in a single place is what needs to happen. We have them spread between texts, emails, Facebook messenger, and doggy dashboard. Our inspector is here to help us maintain the right path. She will be back to Bark House soon to see how we have improved our system! β
οΈ Other than that, the kennels and dogs all passed. Everything else was good to go!
Thank you for continuing to use Bark House and keep us fully booked. π Thank you for supporting us and being with us every step of the way, even during times when we make mistakes. β€οΈ

Informational Update ππΎ
At our doggy daycare, we often encounter a common misconception that socialization equates to your dog actively playing and interacting with other dogs. However, each dog is unique, with distinct personalities and needs.π©· While many owners enjoy seeing their dogs in action, romping and socializing with fellow canines in highlight videos π¬, it's important to recognize that not all dogs will fit this mold, and expecting this from every dog, or yours specifically, is unrealistic. βοΈ It's also important to note that dog daycare is not responsible for socializing your dog. It is the owners responsibility to socialize and remain socializing their dog. Daycare is an outlet, not a training facility or for doing the hard work for you. It is our job to keep your dog enriched π₯ and fulfilled. It is not our job to make sure your dog knows how to interact with others at the dog park π³, in public, or anywhere outside of Bark House. That is YOUR responsibility as the owner.
Our experience has shown that most dogs are "dog selective" rather than universally dog-friendly, with many demonstrating an independent play style. This means they may prefer exploring π₯Ύ, observing π, or interacting with staff rather than engaging in group play. Dogs do act different without their owner present. Itβs crucial to understand that a dog not visibly participating in active play is not an indication of them not enjoying themselves. It's also crucial to understand a dog standing around and watching others is a sign of content, depending on their body language. Many assume otherwise, which is where professionals who know dog body language and behavior can explain dogs should not be active all day and should show signs of neutrality, or calmness. π
As trained professionals, we are adept at assessing a dog's comfort level and identifying their preferred style of play. We ensure that each dog's experience is tailored to suit their individual ne

Morning Pupdate πΎ βοΈ
We have Homer, Ginger, Auggy, Kota, Sasha, Vladi, Oliver, Tripp, Daisy, Kelly, Bailey, Charles, Checkers, Billy, Buddy, Charlie, Maverick, Hoss, Emory, Lillie, Loki, and Luna so far today. ππ‘ The dogs have been playing outside in the breeze, running around like crazies. We've got the door open and dogs running in and out, doing whatever they please. Bark House is where a dog can be dog. π©·πΆ Everyone was ready to bust out and enjoy their day. The wind is making leaves dance across the yard and fall from the trees. Some of the dogs were happy to catch them right in the air as they fell down. Loki and Vladi especially enjoyed the falling leaves. π It really is the little things in life. You've gotta stop and enjoy those moments. π
Compass gave us quite the scare π± this morning. We called and called and searched the woods π³π² but couldn't find her. She always comes running right out of the woods for her meals. I guess she's not as hungry anymore! π€ She showed up after 9am today, a little late to the party. Of course we thought the worst. We can breathe again knowing she's just fine. π

Morning Pupdate πΎπ
Happy Fri-yay! The weekend is here! And so are a bunch of dogs! π€£ This week we've checked in so many small dogs. We just had Molly, Charles, Mando, Jackson, Jeff, Emory, Marco, Lillie, Ragnar, Pete, Nellie, Gabbana, Sasha, and kitty Misty overnight. Lillie is the largest dog we have in right now and she's probably just under 50lbs soaking wet. ππ¦ Everyone else that stayed the night are much smaller. π€πΆ
βοΈDon't forget WE ARE CLOSED π« NOVEMBER 1-8TH ποΈ. We are still allowing pick ups on November 1st for dogs that stay overnight on Halloween π, but we will not be checking in any daycare or boarding the 1-8th.
Kaitlyn's old phone π± is still being worked on. She cannot access certain accounts due to 2 step verification and could not transfer any contacts, messages, documents, etc to this new phone. There is a way to do this through customer service but the solution time β³ is longer than it takes to fix the old phone. Hopefully it's done today and we can get higher quality photos and videos posted for you again. π©·
The video posted below was taken a few days ago. You've gotta see the dogs playing Pawlley Ball ππ€£ They are mesmerized by the sun shade and shadows it flickers. We threw some balls up there and they had a great time booping them in the air and back and forth with each other. So cute! π
