Practice, not just play
Your dog keeps growing on the days you can't be there. This isn't a daycare where dogs are just watched — it's a calm, trainer-led day where they practice the very skills you're building at home.
Made for real dogs — including the tricky ones
Reactive, overexcited, dog-selective, sensitive, or just still figuring the world out — these are exactly the dogs we love. Here your dog practices calm in a safe, controlled setting, builds real confidence, and reinforces what they're learning at home, with a trainer beside them the whole time.
Daycare is designed to support and reinforce training — not replace it. Dogs with significant behavioral concerns may need additional training services before or during participation. Admission is determined case-by-case, at the discretion of From The Heart Dog Services.
Getting started
- 1Schedule a Private LessonAll dogs first complete a private lesson with one of our trainers.

- 3Begin as a Black DogAll dogs start as Black Dogs for a minimum of 30 days before we reassess.
The Pink & Black Dog system
Each dog is assigned a status so we can provide the right level of support — and fair pricing.
Pink Dogs
$40/dayConfident, calm dogs who move through the day without trainer intervention. They crate well, walk respectfully in a pack, and play appropriately with all dogs.
Black Dogs
$50/dayNew dogs, or those who need extra support, start here — with one-on-one help through crate time, leash reactivity, overexcitement, or integrating calmly into playgroups.
All dogs begin as Black Dogs for a minimum of 30 days. After that we reassess — and if your dog is ready, they graduate to Pink Dog status and the lower daily rate.
