The Farm Experience
“Where a dog can be a dog"
On the farm, dogs enjoy the best of both worlds; the freedom to romp and play in large, fenced enclosures and the comfort and safety of living with a family.
Since Heather’s Hounds’ daycare and boarding is an open concept environment, dogs staying on the farm need to be dog friendly. That being said separate indoor and outdoor spaces are available to meet the needs of young puppies as well as elderly guests and everyone in between.
Dogs, whether boarding or coming for daycare, get as much outdoor play time as they want where they can enjoy the freedom of safe, off-leash play, running full tilt to their hearts content, splashing in the kiddie pool, digging in the dirt, hunting in the stonewalls and basking in the sun. Dogs are grouped according to compatibility for safety and overall enjoyment of their stay.
After romping in the yard or when the weather isn’t conducive to outside play time, dogs enjoy hanging with their pals inside on fluffy dog beds or dog friendly couches. The lounges offer elderly dogs a place to rest, shy dogs a place to relax and young puppies a place to nap between play times.
Please contact us if you are a new client, need more information, or to book a stay.
Can’t wait to hear from you!

The Farm Experience
“A tired dog is a good dog!”
Exercise is essential for all dogs. Daycare provides safe fun outlets for energetic dogs.
Socialization is critical for all puppies to become well-adjusted adult dogs. It’s challenging to find opportunities in today’s world to fully socialize young pups.
Daycare provides a perfect opportunity for positive socialization. All puppies and dogs will benefit, but it is especially important for energetic and young dogs.
Mature and elderly dogs enjoy daycare for different reasons. Remaining engaged with younger dogs helps older dogs stay vibrant.
Boredom can be detrimental to an elderly dog. Exploring the farm’s large fenced yard, tracking scents along the rock walls, basking in the sun and watching puppies youthful antics provides enormous entertainment.
Need help housetraining a puppy, providing your dog a place to exercise safely, or company for a lonely dog sitting home alone while you are away – daycare is where long friendships are forged, and new ones are waiting to happen.
