| Club Canine: Yappy Hour |
| You and your humans are welcome to come play together on the 1st & 3rd Fridays of each month from 6:30 - 8 pm. You can all socialize and have a great time, no matter what the weather is like outside! All you need to bring with you are your dog's vaccination records (see below for details), and our short Yappy Hour Registration form. If you are NOT a regular daycare client, then there is a $5 per dog entrance fee (cash only, please) Please click HERE to download the Yappy Hour Registration form (Note: If you plan to have your dog participate in daycare or boarding at some point, please fill out the more-detailed Registration & Contract forms instead.) |

| Please be aware that Yappy Hour is similar to a dog park atmosphere, with up to 40 dogs playing and running around in a single large indoor area. Please also note that while Kera and staff are usually present during Yappy Hour, we do NOT evaluate dogs prior to Yappy Hour attendance like we do for daycare. It is up to YOU, the individual dog owners, to supervise and monitor your own dogs - just as you would do at any dog-park! If you're not sure if your dog is a good candidate for this kind of environment, please call ahead and talk to Kera prior to attending for the first time. Yappy Hour Rules: * Dogs must be in good health and free from parasites. * Dogs and puppies over 10 weeks old are welcome to attend, however we ask that anyone with puppies under 4 months of age, or under 20 pounds please call ahead and speak with Kera prior to the first visit. * Dogs over 6 months of age must be spayed or neutered * Dogs must be current on vaccinations per your Veterinarian's protocols based on your dog or puppy's age. * This includes: Rabies; Distemper/Parvo; and Bordetella ("Kennel Cough"). Note: Bordetella must be updated every 6 months. * All vaccination records must be on file at Club Canine. You may bring them in, or have your Vet fax them to us directly at: (317) 569-1391. * Please do not bring your dog if he/she is exhibiting any of the following: - Coughing - Excessive sneezing - Runny nose or runny eyes - Vomiting - Diarrhea * PLEASE DO NOT BRING DOG-TREATS INTO THE PLAYROOM! * PLEASE DO NOT BRING PERSONAL DOG-TOYS INTO THE PLAYROOM! * Permission to play is at the discretion of the supervisor for each session. We reserve the right to dismiss any dog for any reason * Owners must stay with their dogs in the playroom the entire time the dog is here * Maximum of 2 dogs per handler * Children under 8 years old are not permitted in the playroom * Children 9-15 years old must be accompanied by an adult * Owners are asked to accompany dogs outside to the potty area, and clean up after their dog with pooper scoopers, and then dispose of waste in outside trash can * Inside, owners are expected to clean up after their dog with provided cleaning supplies. There are waste bags, paper towels and disinfectant for solid accidents, and a mop (in disinfectant solution) for liquid accidents. * All dogs must be wearing a standard buckle or clip collar. No choker, prong, or spike collars are allowed in the playroom at any time * Dogs must enter and exit the facility on a leash, however leashes must be removed in the "airlock" area prior to entering the playroom, and put on again before entering the reception area to leave * Human food and drinks are discouraged, however plastic containers are permitted * Owners are responsible for the acts and conduct of their dog at all times during Yappy Hour. Owners must remove their dog at the first sign of aggression, and must quiet dogs that bark, howl or whine excessively. * Close all doors and/or gates behind you. This is especially important in the "airlock" areas before entering or exiting the main playroom * Quickly move away from the entrance area as you come in. This will help disperse the dogs that have come to welcome you and your dog to Yappy Hour * Keep your head on a swivel at all times, as there will likely be dogs running around the playroom. People standing are obstructions, so please STAY ALERT! * You are welcome to sit in the chairs provided around the perimeter of the playroom. Please be aware, though, that excessive attention to ANY dog, especially your own, may cause jealousy issues, which can lead to altercations. It's best not to pay too much attention to any dog while you're sitting down, and just encourage them to "go play" with the other dogs! * You may want to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty or torn. (Many dogs will jump up on people, and although we're indoors, there can still be some mud in the attached potty yard!) * We suggest that you leave anything you don't need in your car. We don't have a lot of space for personal belongings, and dogs will often grab or even "mark" items left on chair-backs, etc. * Club Canine is not responsible for damage or loss of any personal belongings |
