Supervision
All playtime and interactions are supervised, and staff proactively engages with dogs to ensure happy companionship, that playtime doesn't get too rough, a dog becomes overstimulated, or are in need of a break or nap. Sometimes this means we'll set a pup in an individual pen, which is particularly helpful for growing puppies that need regular naps.
