We provide an intelligent program that promotes health and safety. Socialization! May be the biggest benefit from our program. Dogs are allowed to be dogs at Golden Brook Farm. There are a dozens of reasons why your dog could benefit from a daycare program. Here are a few to get you started.

We have over 2,500 square ft of secure containment for the dogs. Split up into three areas. Two of which are large play yards with play equipment. Another area is shaded so if your dog is a loner and wants to be alone and relax away from other dogs they can. Dogs are always supervised during group play times and there is always someone at the farm. Julie and Rudy or our kennel attended are always present.

• Group Walks in the Park
• Games - Frisbee, Fetch, Tag, etc.
• Dips in the Pool
• Field Trips, Swimming, Hiking
• One-on-One Attention
• Low-Impact Leash Training
• Basic Obedience Reinforcement - Sit, Stay & Come

Results may include your dog being more comfortable around other dogs and may even eliminate negative behavior. Doggie daycare is the best alternative to leaving your dog inside alone all day. Our indoor kennels are nice and cool in the summer and warm and cozy in the winter.

We have an acre of open field for those dogs who can run off lead or out of bounds.
We encourage basic obedience training at our facility such as sit, stay, come, down etc. We discourage jumping, aggressive behavior, fence fighting and unsafe play.

Costs

• Day care $ 20 per dog, per day
• Intact Males are $ 25 per dog, per day
• Dog daycare hours from 8am to 6pm
• Day care costs are separate from boarding costs.

Golden Brook Farm Daily Dog Schedule

All activities are dependent on the weather. 7:30pm feeding, walks, group playtime, and special activities such as fetch, frisbee and one on one time. 12-3pm rest time, 3-6pm afternoon playtime, 6pm feeding. Rest time until approx. 9:30pm - then last out for the night. This is our general schedule. We accommodate dogs so they get what they need. This means our schedule is flexible and changing all the time. We treat all dogs like they were our own so if your dog doesn’t fit into this schedule that’s ok, we will make your dog comfortable.

Bath and Brush Service

Your pup may get a bit dirty while romping in our play areas with its friends. We provide a complimentary rinse and towel dry before you pick them up for the day. We also provide a thorough bath and brush service which includes the use of our professional and specialty dog shampoos and conditioners, a complete brush out and nails clipped for a fee of $30. (This could vary, depending on the size of the dog.)
