The client must present written proof of current vaccinations for each pet prior to boarding. If external parasites are found during services, pets will be treated at the cost to the client. Although sick or unvaccinated pets are not permitted to attend Boarding , the client acknowledges that they are placing the pet into an area in which communicable diseases may pass between seemingly healthy pets. If following a provided service date the pet shows signs of illness, the client may not hold Dog Wash N' Go liable for any inadvertent exposure the pet may have contracted, and that if the pet requires an exam, treatment, or medications for the pet that it will be obtained at full cost to the client.

Puppies Must be 12 weeks or older & have received (2) Distemper/Parvo vaccines and (2) Bordetella vaccines.

Boarding Safety Policy: While all client must attest to their pet's behavior prior to boarding, some behaviors may be revealed only after a dog has attended boarding for a number of days. If conduct deemed unacceptable or dangerous occurs and after our staff has taken measures to correct and re-teach the behaviors in question, we reserve the right to crate a pet at any time in the event that a dog shows the potential to cause severe injury or to be unwilling to adjust to the socialization involved in boarding. The client agrees to the terms of boarding and releases Dog Wash N' Go and staff as well as the owners of other dogs attending DDC of all liability. Boarding is not a training ground for dogs with difficult issues nor is it the responsibility of Dog Wash N' Go attendants to devote extensive attention to a single dog’s problem issues. Because chain or pronged collars run the risk that other dogs’ teeth might be caught; flat or rolled collars are best. Dogs must not have any conditions which can be aggravated by active play or have any contagious disease symptoms such as cough, cold, nasal discharge, etc. Although the Boarding environment is a safe and well supervised area, the client acknowledges that rough play can be an inherent part of dog behavior during Boarding. Despite well trained staff and constant supervision, play may become too rough and an injury to pets may result. Should the pets require immediate treatment before the client can be contacted, the client authorizes us to treat pets as deemed necessary by a veterinarian. Following any injury, we will attempt to contact the client as soon as possible, but regardless the client acknowledges and assumes all financial responsibility for treatment and transportation provided by signing this document. Regarding behavior, if the staff determines that any dog shows excessive stress or aggressive behavior in daycare, the client gives permission for Dog Wash N' Go to transfer the dog to an individual inside enclosure within our facility. We will make every effort made to inform the client of the situation. We reserves the right to immediately deny any dog’s eligibility at any time in the event that a dog causes severe injury or displays dangerous aggression.

Boarding Socialization Process: Assertive leadership techniques will be used as needed to help a dog give our staff its trust, thus becoming calm which enables the dog to experience the full benefits of canine socialization. These techniques may include but not be limited to the following; Withholding of attention, praise, eye contact / Use of the “stare” & blocking the dog with our body away from other dogs in order to get a dog’s attention & compliance, slip leashing to guide dogs who are confused as to where they need to go such as “in the house” or “outside”, “Back tying”- leashing to fence inside or outside when a dog’s actions are causing instability in the pack or danger to themselves. (examples: fence fighting/barking at dogs passing by, mounting, excessive running, being leashed to a staff member to avoid and correct remote misbehaviors (such as eating feces aka copraphagia, digging, eating rocks, playing in water bucket), crating to help dogs pace themselves and as a part of disciplinary system for a continuing misbehavior, a finger poke (appropriate pressure with fingertip) to the dog’s neck to simulate alpha dog warning to stop unwanted behavior, “Quiet time” particularly for puppies where dog is firmly held on its back or side on human’s lap or on flat surface until the dog relaxes and recognizes the humans’ authority to develop trust & to respect leadership, water squirted at dog’s rear or a shrill whistle to break tension in order to get dog’s attention and gain compliance.
