It is necessary to fill out an application found on our "New Client" page to know about any special needs your pets may have, ranging from dietary restrictions to behavioral concerns.

Please include the following in your care instructions and/or inquiry:

• Allergies (food/environmental)
• Toy or treat restrictions
• History of destructive behavior
• History of reactivity (barking, lunging on leash, guarding food or toys, or uncontrollable excitement)
• History of separation anxiety

Once an application has been submitted and approved, a two-hour trial will be scheduled at a rate of $20. During this time, members of the CCDC team will observe and interact with your pup through playtime.

Positive behaviors we look for in your pup are:

• Friendliness towards children and other dogs
  
• Respectfulness inside and outside of our home
• Gentleness on a leash
• Knowledge of basic commands
  

Behaviors that we may not be able to accommodate:

• Marking indoors (Diapers will be worn, if need be)
• Destructive tendencies
• Aggression towards people or dogs
• Reactivity of any kind

If all goes well, we will be happy to schedule the first care visit on a Thursday or Friday between the hours of 10am and 3pm.
