Every dog is required to complete an “interview” before coming to HTCC for boarding or daycare.  Interview days consist of a slow introduction to one of our three playgroups, and a general evaluation of behavior throughout the day.  Interviews are scheduled Monday through Thursday, and some weekends. Drop off time is around 10am and pick up time is around 3pm. To request an interview appointment, please fill out and submit the form below.  Please plan to stay for about 15-20 minutes to fill out paperwork while your dog is being evaluated.  Dogs that are nervous or unsure their first day may need additional appointments to ensure their comfort.  If your dog has a limited or unknown socialization history please visit out socialization and behavior page for additional programs and services.
