If it’s determined that your dog will first require obedience training in order to attend Elite Professional Doggy Daycare, we will identify behaviors in our initial meeting and consultation, and discuss the issues with you. We’re here to help, not judge your dog. an option for you in this case.
Depending on the behavior, excitability, aggression toward other dogs, its ability to follow directions, walk on a leash, play with other dogs gently, your dog may need to go through our Train & Play program to be socialized and trained to play well with other dogs and get acclimated to different public environments.

How Can My Dog Start Doggy Daycare?
Every dog that comes into Elite Professional Doggy Daycare is first carefully evaluated by Laurent Gabriel for its personality, ability to get along with other dogs, temperament, ability, physical fitness, health records are reviewed, and a thorough owner interview is required.
Laurent Gabriel is a dog expert and must find out if your dog can or can’t run with other dogs. Whether your dog needs help getting up and down from things, has physical restrictions, any health problems, various behavioral traits, gentleness, handling by other people, ability to walk on a leash, information about likes, dislikes, its history with people and other dogs, ability to be crated, and much, much more.
We have all dog’s records at our fingertips along with owner emergency contacts at all times.
Will My Dog Fit In And Get Along OK?
Maybe your dog is shy, scared, or not playful, doesn’t like the heat, wants to be in air conditioning all day, or prefers a good nap in the afternoon?
If that’s the case then we’ll do individual playtime, or we’ll do individual rest time, and individual walks. Everything is customized specifically to meet the needs and fit the abilities of your dog at Elite Professional Doggy Daycare.
We very carefully acclimate each dog and introduce them to others and monitor them in every area. Each dog has different needs, and we listen to what you say about your dog’s likes and dislikes. We want your dog to feel excited and look forward to Doggy Daycare.
We want to be certain we know everything about your dog before they arrive, or before we come to pick them up from your home for Doggy Daycare.
All activities are unique to each dog’s personality, health, ability, age, energy level. Your dog may not like walks, but loves to run free and play with other dogs. Your dog might be more interested in playing fetch with people. Whatever it is, we’ll do our best to accommodate your dog’s likes and dislikes.

What About Food & Snacks?

What Will My Dog Do All Day?
Every day is different. So one day the dogs may arrive and play outdoors. Then we may have your dog try out a slow first walk on a treadmill or go for a nice walk outdoors with other dogs. Most activities are decided by the weather including heat, rain, cold, or storms.
There is group play in the outdoor play area and then we rotate dogs to a different activity and area. But if it rains we have plenty of indoor play areas.
Or, if a dog is new to Doggy Daycare they have to acclimate to every play area. Each dog is different and will react uniquely to play, moving around, and interactions with other dogs. We section the dogs off and group them in different activity areas.
“When they’re out just running around, they get the physical activity but they’re not getting the mental stimulation because the scenery isn’t changing, all they’re doing is running,” Elite Professional Dog Training Owner and CEO Laurent Gabriel said.
“What’s unique about our Doggy Daycare is that we want to keep all dogs’ bodies and their minds stimulated. By the time your dog has gone through all of this, their day is done.”
