Cage-Free Dog Daycare

HTCC offers daycare 7 days a week, which provides members with cage-free exercise and socialization rather than spending days at home alone being lonely, bored and destructive.

After completing the membership process, dogs will be placed in one of three group leagues according to their size and temperament. We make sure dogs are placed with the dogs they enjoy hanging out with the best:

  • Active large breed dogs
  • Active medium sized dogs
  • Small dogs and puppies

During the day members can play outside or indoors depending on the weather conditions. There is a trained staff member supervising and playing with the dogs all day long. The staff will be throwing balls and Frisbees, cleaning up messes and making sure there are no confrontations between dogs while they play together.

Overnight Boarding

Members of Happy Tails Country Club can stay at the club 7 days a week for overnight boarding.

OVERNIGHT SUITES - NO CAGES!!!

Each member will stay in their own luxury doggie suite with all the comforts of home - soft floors, comfy beds and soothing music.

Several sizes of suites:

  • Small suites -- small dogs will feel safe overnight

  • Medium suites - extra legroom and lounging space for medium sized dogs

  • Large suites - plenty of room for larger breeds or active dogs to stretch out

  • Extra large suites - accommodate multiple dog families all in one suite

Each suite has full walls (no bars or cages) so that dogs can relax at night in peace and not be exposed to “fence fighting” or the activities of other dogs.

Overnight Luggage 

Members are welcome to bring anything special from home that will make them comfortable.

  • Food - we strongly suggest that you bring your dog's food with you. A dog's stomach can easily become upset by switching food.

  • Medications - will be given according to directions from owners

  • Bedding - we provide beds that are off the ground but they can accommodate bedding from home on top of them if you choose to bring it. Most dogs feel more comfortable with something that smells like home.

  • Toys/Treats - any special toys or treats that your dog enjoys may be brought with him/her for boarding. Your dog's treats will be given to him/her only when the dog is in their individual suite with the door closed so that the items will not be stolen by other dogs.

Grooming/Bathing

Dogs can get messy when they play with other dogs, so HTCC offers a “Spaw” to clean up the mess before you bring your dog home.

Bathing includes a shampoo, blow dry, nail clip and ear cleaning.

Members can visit the “Spaw” after a day of daycare or at the end of a boarding stay.  Please see the pricing section for more information.
