FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

All dogs must have current rabies, distemper (all rounds complete), and bordetella. In addition, you will need to fill out the three enrollment forms found under the "Forms" tab. As long as your dog meets all requirements, simply give us a call to sign up!

*Canine influenza is not required, however it is recommended. 

We require that all dogs 7 months or older are neutered or spayed. This is simply for safety purposes as dogs are in mixed gender group play all day long. 

Here at Rugged Oak we are very flexible and willing to work with your schedule! While some prefer to set a regular schedule, others come whenever suits them. However, those who choose to set a schedule will automatically have a space reserved on days that become full by enrolling in a monthly membership. 

See "Rates" page for membership options and pricing.

Rugged Oak Canine Camp is a crate free daycare! Dogs spend their entire day in play yards with their friends. Though dogs are not crated, we do have kennels available incase a dog needs to take a break or eat a meal.

Yes! We are an indoor only facility. We have multiple play yards, each equipped with its own heating/air conditioning unit to keep the dogs comfortable no matter the weather outside. As for going to the bathroom, each yard also has what we call, a "potty box"! These are large designated turf areas where dogs can relieve themselves. Because it is turf, it is just like going to the bathroom on grass and it does not interfere with potty training at home.

Typically group sizes range from 5 to 8. However, each day depends on how may dogs are here, which dogs make good play mates, etc. Groups are determined based on play styles more than just size, however size is still a factor.

Safety is our top priority, but we understand that not every dog will get along. We are trained to read body language to help prevent problems from escalating. If a problem does arise, we will take the proper steps to remove said dog(s) from the situation.
