HOW TO BECOME A WILDER K9'ER

3 REQUIREMENTS BEFORE BECOMING A WILDERK9'ER:
1) fecal test done with your vet to ensure your dog is parasite-free
2) 1 hour assessment / meet+greet ($20)
3) day trial ($40) 

You can rest assured that every dog in our care has also passed our thorough screening assessment!

FECAL TESTING
The reason fecal tests are required for each dog attending Wilde K9 is due to how common parasites in dogs are. Doing a yearly fecal test to attend daycare and/or boarding is crucial to ensure your dog is free from contagious parasites, and helps eliminate the spread of contagious parasites amongst other dogs in our care.
More info about and how to test for parasites can be found HERE

ASSESSMENT / MEET & GREET
We schedule every new dog in for a meet & greet + assessment. 

Was your assessment successful? We hope so! If so, your dog is ready for their day care visits!
A minimum of 1 trial day is required before your dog is able to spend the night with us (please note, the total amount of days required before boarding can vary depending on your dogs behaviour - are they nervous? vocal? anxious? unsettled?) I strive to have this experience be as comfortable as possible for your dog, so that they are able to feel comfortable and settled.  It may require some more time and patience for some dogs to adjust and get accustomed to being away from their home, so please note that it may take a few day trials for your dog to adjust. Some dogs do perfectly fine right off the bat, are comfortable and are immediately loving their new space and surroundings, it just depends on your dog! :)
I strive to make my place every dogs second home- where they can be at ease, relaxed and enjoy all their days with us!

WHAT DOES THE ASSESSMENT / MEET + GREET CONSISTS OF?
Assessment involves showing you around the facility, and getting to know you and your dog(s) needs. 
Once it is time for you to step out while we asses your dog, your dog will be on a slip leash while we are getting to know their unique personality! Our outdoor area is fully fenced, and the slip leash is a safety precaution tool we use.

 If your dog is dog-social and you would like your dog to be socialized, they will be slowly introduced to another dog one at a time, and their behaviour and temperament will be evaluated to ensure they are a good fit for the social setting.

MAINTAINING MEMBERSHIPS STATUS
In order to continue scheduling daycare and overnight visits, dogs need to keep their membership status active by visiting our facility at least once a year.
This is to ensure the dog is cleared and within the same temperament/mindset as the last time we have observed. We acknowledge that dog behaviour can change over time, and safety is our number one priority at Wilde K9.
If you would like to book in your dog for day an overnight stay and your dog has not been in within the last 12 months, they are required to be booked in for a day trial for a re-assessment for re-admission.
