Doggy Daycare

A Day in the Life at Twin Oaks’ Premier Doggy Daycare

 

You’re not alone if you’ve ever wondered what your dog gets up to while you’re at work or running errands. For dog lovers in Twin Oaks, California, Hot Dog on a Leash offers a premier doggy daycare experience that’s as enriching, fun, and nurturing as it is professional. Our new resort is more than a place to leave your pup—it’s a home-away-from-home where dogs thrive, play, and learn in a structured, safe, and social environment.

Let’s take you behind the scenes and show you what a typical day looks like for our four-legged guests.

Morning: Warm Welcomes & Tail Wags

The day begins early at Hot Dog on a Leash. As pet parents drop off their pups at our resort-style facility, our trained staff greets them with a smile—and usually a few excited barks. Each dog is checked in and matched with a playgroup based on size, temperament, and activity level. This ensures a balanced social experience for every personality, from shy introverts to energetic extroverts.

Safety is our top priority, so every new pup undergoes a temperament evaluation before joining the pack. Our staff is certified in dog behavior and positive reinforcement techniques, so your dog is always in experienced, caring hands.

Mid-Morning: Supervised Play and Socialization

Once grouped accordingly, dogs head out to our expansive indoor and outdoor play areas. These aren’t just dog runs—they’re specially designed enrichment zones that allow dogs to engage in natural behaviors like sniffing, running, climbing, and chasing.

Our daycare emphasizes structured play. That means our team actively supervises every session, gently guiding dogs toward healthy social behavior while discouraging rough play or bullying. It’s like recess with a coach—fun, but with purpose.

Whether your dog loves splashing in kiddie pools, bouncing after tennis balls, or simply lounging in the sun with friends, we provide a little something for everyone.

Midday: Meals, Naps, and Mental Enrichment

All that morning excitement means it’s time for a bit of rest. Around midday, we bring the dogs in for a well-deserved nap. Our climate-controlled nap areas are quiet, cozy, and comfortable, giving dogs the space to recharge.

We offer feeding services based on your instructions for pups staying a full day. We make sure each dog gets exactly what it needs, whether it’s a specialized diet or a treat-packed Kong to keep it happy and calm.

But downtime doesn’t mean boredom. For dogs enrolled in our Day Training Program, we integrate individual mental stimulation exercises and positive reinforcement sessions throughout the day. It’s a fantastic way to reinforce obedience, improve focus, and prevent unwanted behaviors.

Afternoon: Agility, Training & More Play

We rotate dogs back into the play yards as the afternoon sets in for more structured fun. Some take part in light agility challenges or recall games, while others might enjoy tug-of-war or fetch tournaments. These activities keep dogs physically fit and help them build confidence and trust with their handlers.

This is also when some of our dogs attend one-on-one training refreshers led by our professional trainers. Training at Hot Dog on a Leash is always positive, patient, and tailored to your dog’s individual goals—improving manners, reducing leash pulling, or mastering basic obedience.

For owners looking to combine daycare with training, our Train & Play Packages are ideal. They allow you to make the most of your dog’s day.

Late Afternoon: Wind Down & Pick Up

As pickup time approaches, we begin to wind things down. Dogs enjoy low-energy play and calm socialization to ease the transition from daycare to home life. We ensure every dog is clean, relaxed, and ready to greet you at the end of the day.

Some pups even go home with progress updates or report cards highlighting their activities and achievements for the day, just one of the ways we keep you connected to your dog’s growth and happiness.
