Daycare
Setting Up A Temperment Test
Before being able to book daycare or boarding, your dog must pass a temperament test. Because Snouts & Stouts offers an off-leash play only daycare and boarding, temperament tests will be done during dog park bar hours. You can book a temperament test anytime during the week or on the weekends during our dog park bar hours.
Requesting Daycare, Boarding or Training
When looking to book daycare, boarding, or training, you can use our app to pick a day and time that works for you! After submitting a request for any of these services, our staff will confirm that appointment and then you will get a notification that everything is set up. You will also receive a reminder before your appointment. You can also chat directly with our staff in the app if you have any questions!
Check-In & Drop-Off
When arriving for your daycare, boarding, or training appointment, please enter through the door all the way on the right side of the building. Here you will check in with our staff and confirm all relevant information for your dog’s appointment. You can actually bring up the QR code associated with your booking and easily check in!
Pick-Up & Check Out
When arriving to pick up your dog, please enter through the same door all the way on the right and a staff member will greet you with your dog. You will then pay for your stay and be sent a report card of how your dog was during daycare or boarding!
If you decide to stay at Snouts & Stouts for dog park bar hours, you must still exit the building and re-enter through the door all the way on the left side of the building. As a reminder, all daycare and boarding appointments come with a free day pass for the day of pick-up. A Snouts & Stouts staff member will assist in checking you into the dog park bar once you re-enter.;
FAQ’s
Do I need a membership to get in?
Snouts & Stouts is always free to enter for people, but to bring your dog in, you will either need to have a membership or buy a day pass the day you come in to gain access to the premises. This is for the protection of our human and furry friend guests. You can purchase a membership online here.
Is is truly an indoor dog park?
Yes! You may notice other establishments in the area claim they are an indoor dog park, but when you go check them out, the indoor part is either very small or does not seem like a dog park at all.
At Snouts & Stouts, we stand by the claim of being an Indoor Dog Park as we have 6,000 SQFT of open and indoor space that is always climate controlled.
All dogs are REQUIRED to be off-leash when inside of the off-leash park.
Will it smell or be really loud since you are inside?
Nope! With the specialized K9 turf and flushing system, Snouts & Stouts will always be extremely clean. If your dog urinates, it goes straight through and then the top of the turf is cleaned with an antibacterial cleaner. If your dog defecates, it will immediately be cleaned up by our dog patrol and thrown away in a vacuum-sealed trash bin and then the turf will be spot treated.
Also, we will have soundproofing around our walls and ceilings to create an environment that allows dogs to have fun and bark without the noise being overwhelming to you.
Who are the "Canine Rufferees" ?
Our "Canine Rufferees" are our employees that will walk around Snouts & Stouts to make sure all dogs are following our rules of play, making sure they are having lots of fun, getting enough water, and picking up after them.
By entering the park, you permit Snouts & Stouts staff to handle your dog and break up any fights that may ensue.
This allows you to grab a drink and sit back and relax!
You will also have daycare & boarding services?
Yes! Snouts & Stouts will be offering Dog Daycare and Dog Boarding during the week where your dog can play at our facility, supervised, while you are at work! You can check out more details on our website below:
Will you also have a bar?
Yes! We know many people enjoy the option of having a drink while their dog plays, so we wanted to incorporate that into our indoor dog park.
Will you serve food?
Yes! We will have a snack café that will have many amazing yummy snacks and meals for you to eat, as well as treats you can buy for your dog. We only serve food that would not be harmful to dogs if they happen to steal a bite. Our menu will be announced before we open in 2023.
