Would you like a tour?  Call Kris at 410-825-9100 ext. 221 to arrange a time to take a tour of the daycare.  Tours are given 7 days a week but must be by appointment.

How will my dog be evaluated?  When a dog is placed in daycare at Falls Road for the first time the evaluation is ongoing.  We measure how your dog behaves with people, toys and other dogs.  We observe your dog interacting with one dog, then see how it reacts to a larger group.  We decide as a group how well we think your dog will get along with our existing daycare dogs.  You will be contacted mid-day to let you know how your dog is doing.

What if I need to drop off earlier of pick up later?  24 hour drop off and pick up is available!   This must be approved ahead of time and there is an additional charge of $10. 

What about training? Training classes are offered through For Pet’s Sake on Tuesday nights.  I can also recommend private training.  We will be happy to work with your dog on the commands you are learning, just be sure you are also practicing at home.
