What to expect

A thoughtful introduction for every new dog

Every new dog starts with an assessment to protect the safety and comfort of the entire playgroup. It helps us confirm that daycare is a good fit and introduce your dog gradually in a controlled way, so they are less likely to feel overwhelmed or have a negative first experience. This important first step sets your dog up for success.

Complete the form

Set aside about 10 minutes to describe your dog’s health, behaviour, and social experience.

Hear from the team

Jollytails will follow up by email within a day or two to arrange your dog’s assessment.

Attend the assessment

This scheduled first visit lets us introduce your dog to the playgroup gradually. Your dog typically stays with us for three to four hours.

Begin daycare

Once your dog has been assessed and approved, you can make future daycare reservations online.
