Puppies

• Puppies complete an interview day

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.  When available, interviews are scheduled Monday through Thursday and some weekends. Drop off time is around 10am and pick up time is around 3pm.  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 on their first day may need additional appointments to ensure their comfort.
