RULES

Eligibility: All puppies under 5 months old are eligible for Yappy Hour. Puppies or dogs over that age will need to be evaluated by a trainer prior to attendance. It is strongly recommended that all puppies under 5 months old attend Yappy Hour consistently to benefit fully. All pets must be pre-registered in order to attend Yappy Hour. It is recommended to have your pet spayed or neutered (unless they are under 6 months of age). Intact dogs are still able to participate in the Yappy Hour sessions and are subject to behavioral assessment should the need arise.
Payment: All payments must be made prior to attendance to allow you and your pet to take full advantage of the hour as soon as you arrive. We can safely keep your card on file as well if you choose. Payments will not be accepted the day of the event and is a cashless event.
Vaccine requirements: All dogs must have up-to-date vaccinations. If you are a current client of Shaffer Animal Hospital and/or G.O.D.O.G.S. we will have your pet’s vaccine records on file. Otherwise, owners must submit vaccine verification from a Veterinarian showing current Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccinations as well as a negative fecal test. Puppies should receive a minimum of one set of vaccines and a first deworming at least 7 days prior to their first day at Yappy Hour session. If you are an established Shaffer Animal Hospital and/or G.O.D.O.G.S. client, you will receive reminders from us when vaccinations are due. It is your responsibility to provide on-going verification of current vaccinations.
Health: All dogs must be in good health. Owners will need to certify that their dogs are in good health and have been free from any condition that could potentially jeopardize other canine guests or human staff. You are required to inform the staff if your pet has exhibited any of the following signs: coughing, sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, etc. Dogs that have been ill with a communicable condition in the last 30 days will require a veterinarian certification of health to be admitted or readmitted to Yappy Hour sessions. All dogs are expected to be free of fleas and ticks and we highly recommend a flea and parasite preventative, excluding flea/tick collars. If a pet is determined to be unfested with parasites, they may be asked to seek medical attention before return.
Collars: All dogs must be wearing a quick release collar or a body harness. No choke collars.
Check in & Yard Entry: Before entering the Yappy Hour yard, you must check in with a Doggie Daycamp Counselor. You will then be instructed at which entrance you and your dog should enter. So that no dog is overwhelmed by the volume of dogs upon entering the gated area, dogs must enter on leash, and remain on leash until the owner has walked them to the center of the yard. Once a trainer instructs you to let your dog off leash, you may do so. Additionally, when a dog and owner enters the gated area, you must leash up your dog until the owner and dog have entered the yard, approached the center of the play area, and the new dog is off leash.
Potty Bags: Potty bags are not provided by our Counselors. Please bring your own, and clean up after your dog.
Rainy Days: In the event of inclement weather, we may hold Yappy Hour inside. These sessions are restricted to neutral dogs and dogs under 40 pounds. Weather updates and closures will be made via email so please confirm we have an up to date email address on file.
Appropriate Play: Some dogs play rougher than others. Please be mindful of how your dog is interacting with other dogs. We have Daycamp Counselors available to help you with your dog, but if your pup needs to be interrupted, redirected, or given a time out, it is the responsibility of the pet guardian to do that. If you require more assistance, we can schedule a one-on-one session with you and your dog. Please understand that if we recommend that you leave early on any given day, it is because we think it is best for the safety of all dogs. Please bring treats and be ready to work with your dog!
NOTE: It is normal for some dogs as they mature to “grow out of” the Yappy Hour environment. If your dog has altercations that frighten or otherwise disturb the other attendees, he or she will be asked to leave. This does not necessarily mean that your dog should never play with other dogs. Many dogs who are not suitable for Yappy Hour or any dog park environment do just fine with one or two other dogs at a time that they know well. Any dog that instigates an altercation once and causes injury will be asked to leave, and will need to be evaluated as to whether or not it is safe for him to interact with other dogs at Yappy Hour in the future. There will be no refunds for dogs who are asked to leave.
