Reasons to Do Daycare at The Doghouse

Did you know that, in a suburb of medium density (maybe a suburb just like yours), a dog’s bark can be heard in 200 surrounding houses – or by 800 people? At the Doghouse of Barrington, your dog is encouraged to romp, play, bounce, run, chase … pretty much everything he can’t do when he’s home barking.

Other benefits include: less time home alone eliminates destructive chewing, digging, and accidents; social interaction encourages mental and physical well-being; pack play helps make friends, build trust in others, and eliminate bad biting; and calmer, less energetic dogs make for happier, less chaotic evenings at home.

Daytime Walks from Home

There are those times (work trips, weekends away, date nights in the city) when you and your dog just can’t go where you’re going together. For those times, The Doghouse of Barrington offers unparalleled service with a menu of options as unique as your situation.

Some packages incorporate transportation to and from daycare in addition to early morning and late-night home visits. Other options include more traditional dog walking visits with 20-minute “appointments” dedicated to play, meals, and walks, as well as some house “keeping” (i.e. paper, mail, lights).

Whether at The Doghouse or your house, we’re here to help.

Join the Doghouse Today!

Any dog (no matter size or breed) is welcome to apply to become a member of The Doghouse of Barrington. Applicants must fill out a standard form identifying the dog’s information, and each dog must pass a temperament test (The Doghouse uses a test designed by Dr. Emily Weiss for the Humane Society) to better understand temperament, to identify aggression issues, and to determine which playgroup would be most suitable for him/her. Groups include puppy, small dog, large dog, low energy, high energy, and senior lounge options.

Every dog must be spayed or neutered after 6 months of age, and current on his or her vaccinations (to include rabies, distemper, and bordatella). Heartworm and flee/tick preventatives also are checked. Puppies under 6 months can be accepted as long as they have had their first distemper booster and de-wormer.

Applications are available here in PDF format or in person at The Doghouse of Barrington, located at 349 South Lageschulte Street in Barrington. Interested applicants may call us at 847-381-9959 to schedule a temperament test or for more information.
