What can I expect at the Meet & Greet?

The Meet & Greet is where we meet you & your dog(s) for the first time.  Once your vaccinations are confirmed, you will come in at your scheduled time with your dog, and our trained staff will evaluate your dog for temperament, personality, etc.  This process will take roughly 25-30 minutes.   During this time we will give you a tour of our beautiful facility and answer all your questions - whatever you need to make you comfortable that your dog is in the right place!

Dog owners are required to bring your dog's leash and food on check in day.   Please pre-package food in individual ziplock bags each labeled with your dog's name.  If all bags are the same, do not write the day/time on them.   Aside from a leash and food, nothing else is required, however feel free to bring a favorite bed, blanket, snacks and/or chew toy if you wish.  If you forget your food or run out while your dog is boarding, we will purchase for you, and charge you for the price of the food plus a convenience fee.

Many dogs suffer from anxiety and fear when they enter a new environment.  We are aware of this, and handle these dogs with extra care and attention.   All new dogs will start with a Trial Day, which is 3 hours ($28).  During this time, dogs will play on our fenced in patio or a separate smaller yard with one or two dogs at a time in order to get them adjusted to the pack environment.   When they seem comfortable meeting all the dogs, we will slowly move them into the appropriate play yard.  Some dogs are in the yard within 30 minutes, some take 3 hours, and some never make it off the patio.  We will never put a dog in a yard unless we are 100% sure that they are 100% comfortable. 

When the weather is bad (rain, snow, cold, heat) we move the dogs to indoor play.  We have plenty of temperature controlled indoor space for the dogs to play, 

Yes!   All areas of the indoor & outdoor spaces are under constant surveillance.  This footage is required in order to monitor all dogs and staff throughout the day.  If dog parents wish to see their pups while in our care, we are happy to FaceTime with you during certain times of the day.  We  will  always  send you photos of your dog playing in our yard  everyday  of  your  dogs' boarding  stay. 

Drop off for boarding is from 2-5pm on day of arrival, and pick up is from 9am-12pm on day of departure.  If you drop off earlier or pick up later than those times, you will incur a $30 half day daycare charge.

Daycare Includes "anytime" drop off and pick up between 7am - 7pm Monday through Friday and 8am - 6pm on weekends.  

Our facility closes at 7pm sharp on weekdays and 6pm on weekends.  If you are running late and will not arrive by closing time, your dog will be checked into the kennel and will stay with us overnight for boarding.  We will feed your dog house food.  You will be charged for these services.

We  do  not  take  dogs  that  are  aggressive.    If  your  dog  has  bitten  a  person  or  another  dog,  then  Tanner's  is  not  the  place  for  you.    Dogs  must  be  able  to  be  handled  by  our  staff,  and  play  nicely  with  the other dogs  in  our  yard.

We will take un-altered dogs up to one year old.  After that, we cannot risk having the dog in our care.
