Small Group Daycare
We are the premier Dog Daycare and Dog Boarding facility in Carrollton, TX specializing in small & intimate play groups.
Our Doggie Daycare Services
What makes us different from other dog daycare facilities in Carrollton, TX?
In order to provide your dog with the best day possible, we believe in a more balanced approach to our doggy daycare services. Your pets are your family members and we believe that offering your pup the opportunity to rotate in smaller, more compatible groups means that your dog will be more comfortable, happy, and more likely to make friends with other dogs.
Just like people, dogs have their own social preferences and personalities preferring some temperaments or play styles to others.
In order to ensure we can provide your dog with the best experience possible, all dogs are first temperament tested by a highly trained, experienced Team Member on their Meet and Greet visit to ensure they are both comfortable and social with our pack. We are a "social dogs only" facility.
During your pups evaluation Meet and Greet, our staff is trained to assess your dog's compatibility with our pack, and to choose which playgroups would best fit with your dog's temperament and play style.
Each of our playgroups are designed to be small and intimate with no more than 20 dogs per group. Each dog in every playgroup is specifically placed there for a reason so that play is maximized, providing your dog with the optimum doggie daycare experience.
Because we get to know your dog as an individual, we ensure that your dog is engaging in safe and healthy social interactions while participating in our daycare services.
When your dog is not outside playing, they are resting in a suite for downtime so that they can recharge and refresh for their next rotation.

Safety First Approach
Our Team takes dog safety seriously and consider it a top priority!
In order to provide your pet with a top quality experience while participating in our doggy daycare services, we take great measures to ensure that your dog is participating in safe and healthy play. Every member of our Staff are trained and certified through our comprehensive Dog Behavior & Care Training Program, Social Pack University, to understand:
-
Breed Traits
-
Dog Psychology and Body Language
-
How to appropriately pair playgroups together to offer your pup with the best care possible.
It is important to understand that even a well-meaning and social dog can have bad play manners that can result in a misunderstanding, or even an altercation. Our staff is trained to mediate all dogs' interactions to ensure they are appropriate and reciprocated - any inappropriate behavior is documented for review and analyzed by upper management.
If we notice inappropriate behavior or improper manners from your dog, our Managers or Kennel Leads will typically notify you so that you are aware and can take action if it is something that could benefit from a professional training program. We believe in transparency and always want you to have a clear picture of your pups behavior and play interactions while staying with us.
How we operate:
Though many facilities proudly proclaim their "all-day-play" status like a badge of honor, we view things a little differently.
Typically, a facility operating as an "all-day-play" facility will fill their yards with the complete roster of dogs to be outside in groups only separated by size, which generally looks like 60+ dogs per yard for anywhere from 6 to 12 straight hours with only one staff member responsible. Now imagine yourself being crammed in a room with 60 other people not of your choosing for 6 to 12 straight hours - even the most outgoing person would probably feel a little exhausted and just downright cranky after a few hours!
Instead of forcing your dog into an environment that may be overwhelming and exhausting, we operate using a unique method of small playgroup rotations where dogs are paired with like-minded temperaments and given the opportunity to rest and recharge with structured downtime throughout the day in a secluded suite.
By allowing your pup some decompression time throughout the day, they feel more refreshed and at ease by not being pressured to socialize for long stretches of time.

Can I take a Tour?Of course! We are proud of our facility and love showing people what we're all about! Because the mornings and evenings are busy with dogs checking in and out of our facility, we ask that you call in and schedule a tour - this way we can assure that we are able to take the time to answer any and all questions that you have!
-
Why do you rotate in small playgroups?It is important to understand that we are not an "all day play" facility. Facilities that offer all day play can create an environment that is un-balanced; too many dogs in one yard for an entire day becomes crowded and stressful for both dogs and staff. Having small, compatible groups means that your dog will be comfortable, happy, and more likely to make friends; just like people, dogs have their own social preferences. In this structure, dogs actually have more opportunities for play than they would in an "all day play" environment.
-
How do you structure your playgroups?First, during their Meet and Greet, we get to know your dog ensuring that we can place them in playgroups where they will feel comfortable enough to engage in good play. Each playgroup is small, usually ranging from 10-20 dogs for the whole yard, and each dog in every playgroup is specifically placed there for a reason. In addition, we have some pack rules that we expect all our dogs to adhere to. We discourage behaviors such as mounting, excessively rough play, charging, etc. Our staff is well trained in dog body language and we have these rules in place to ensure that all dogs are participating in good and healthy play!
-
Do you offer 24 hour care?No, we do not have anyone at the facility over night; our staff is here from 6:30am until 8:30pm every day. All dogs are locked in their suites for the night. If you have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask.
-
Do you have webcams?We do not have webcams at this time; however, we take lots of pictures and videos that we post to our Instagram: @SOCIALPACKDOGS
-
What if my dog become sick or injured?Most of our policies and procedures are outlined in our Owner and Dog Applications. Our staff is trained on dog behavior and we monitor your dog closely to ensure that they are always healthy and happy. Any injury or illness, no matter how minor, will be reported to you as soon as possible. If it is an emergency, we will always try to contact you first; however, if we can not get a hold of you, we will do what we feel is best for the dog.
-
Do you have any breed restrictions?Please understand that these restrictions are in place for the safety of our Pack. If you have questions about our restrictions, or why they are in place, please email us: Owners@socialpackdogs.com Also, please note that you may see some of these breeds are already part of our Pack! Each of these pups were carefully temperament tested and were grandfathered into our program prior to these new restrictions. No Pit Bull Terriers (this includes mixes). No Staffordshire Terriers (this includes mixes). No Bull Terriers (this includes mixes). No American Bulldogs (this includes mixes). No American Bull Terriers (this includes mixes). No Bulldogs.

What do I need to make a Daycare reservation?Before making any reservation with us, we ask that you: 1) Have completed your Meet and Greet. 2) Make sure we have copies of your dogs updated vaccinations. 3) Please schedule minimum 48 hours notice for Daycare. 4) Please use our Booking form to schedule. If you have completed all the necessary steps, your pup is ready to play!
-
Why does my dog have to complete a Meet and Greet?We understand that every dog is unique, so before your dog joins our pack, we feel that it is important for us to get to know your dog as an individual so we can better cater to their needs. We require that every dog complete their Meet and Greet before participating in our services. During their meet-and-greet, we will: 1) Evaluate their individual personality to better match them with like-minded dogs during play time. 2) Get them acquainted with our facility so they are familiar with our staff and schedule the next time they stay or play. We are sorry, but we are not accepting any NEW "non-social" dogs at this time. These are dogs deemed as "dog or human aggressive" or any dogs that are needeing very small specialied groups (less than 15 dogs).
-
How old does my puppy need to be to join?Puppies must be at least 16 weeks old and must have completed the necessary vaccinations. If your puppy is over 7 months old, they must be spayed or neutered. These rules are in place for the safety of your dog, as well as the others in our care.
-
What are the required vaccinations?We require proof of up to date: 1) Rabies 2) DHPP (Parvo Distemper) 3) Bordetella (required annually, recommended semiannually)
-
What do I need to make a Boarding reservation?If you are a new customer, we ask that you first: 1) Schedule a Meet and Greet evaluation so that we can get to know your dog and approve them for social play. 2) Make sure we have copies of your dogs updated vaccinations. If you are a returning daycare customer and are just new to boarding: 1) Make sure we have up-to-date vaccination info. 2) Fill out our Boarding Intake Form and bring on drop off. 3) If your dog has any special needs or medications, make sure you pre-fill out our Medication Form. 4) Bring your dog's own food in an appropriately sized resealable container or in preprepped ziplock bags. 5) We provide our own clean bowls.
-
Can I bring my dog's belongings from home?We prefer that you not bring personal items, as we cannot guarantee their condition upon checkout. We do provide our own bowls and fleece blankets. If you would like to bring your own bed and blankets, they must be machine washable. Any toys or bones that can be easily destroyed are prohibited as they can pose a choking hazard. We also encourage you to bring your dog treats, as long as they are easily chewed and swallowed. Again, we do not allow bones or rawhides of any kind because they can be a choking hazard.
-
Should I bring my own dog food?Yes, we strongly encourage you to bring your own food from home! A sudden change in your dogs diet can cause stomach upset causing great discomfort for your dog. We do provide our own food for an additional charge - please see our DAYCARE and BOARDING pages for cost. If you are interested in this option, our staff can give you some tips on how to better transition your dog between different foods.
-
Do you give discounts for multiple pets?Yes, we give a discount if you are boarding multiple dogs from the same household, in the same kennel. Please see our Boarding page for applicable rates.
