NEW at Dog Daze Inn: Elevated Dog Development Program 🐾
NEW at Dog Daze Inn—our Elevated Dog Development Program is designed for dogs who need more than traditional daycare.
In a calm, small-group, home-style environment, we combine structured enrichment, real-life training, and intentional socialization to support better behavior and overall well-being—without the chaos of high-volume facilities.
Perfect for dogs who need guidance, structure, or extra support, including those working through challenges like reactivity, anxiety, or overstimulation.
This isn’t just daycare—it’s purposeful development, which can also include targeted behavioral support.
Our Elevated Dog Development Program also offers half-day options and specialized plans for dogs working through behavioral challenges. We can help improve problems like:
-
Separation anxiety
-
Reactivity
-
Overstimulation
-
Fear-based behaviors (including past trauma)
-
And more
This isn’t just daycare—it’s intentional development.
If you’re looking for a structured, supportive environment where your dog can truly learn and grow, we’re here to help.
Space is limited to maintain quality and safety, so contact us now for pricing and details!

About Us
🐾 Our Story
At Dog Daze Inn, we didn’t set out to build just another pet care business—we set out to create a haven. After years of experience in the industry, we knew we wanted something different. Something better. While many corporate settings rely on rigid timelines and extended kennel hours, we believe dogs deserve more: more freedom, more connection, and more joy.
That’s why we’ve built a space where tails wag freely and every moment counts. Our approach is rooted in compassion, expertise, and a deep understanding of canine behavior. We offer more time outside the kennel, more time with our team, and more time socializing with other dogs—because we know that’s where the magic happens.
At Dog Daze Inn, we’re more than a business—we’re a community. A place where dogs thrive, humans find peace of mind, and every visit feels like coming home.
