Daycare 2.0
Daycare focused on enrichment and training.
Daycare 2.0 is a structured dog daycare program designed exclusively for dogs who have completed one of our professional training programs at Found Chicago. This requirement allows us to maintain a calm, controlled environment where training is reinforced and healthy social behavior is preserved.
Our dog daycare is professionally supervised with strong staff-to-dog ratios and intentional handling. Daily activities and playgroups are carefully customized based on each dog’s training level, social skills, and individual needs.
Dogs in Daycare 2.0 may participate in a rotating schedule of structured activities, including:
-
FitPaws conditioning
-
Obedience training and agility work
-
Guided dog socialization
-
Structured pack walks
Activities adjust seasonally. In spring and summer, dogs benefit from increased outdoor time and supervised social interaction. During extreme heat or cold, all activities are conducted in our indoor, temperature-controlled training spaces.
This structured daycare model is ideal for dogs with behavioral considerations or higher handling needs. Every dog is assessed by our certified professionals before entering social sessions to ensure safe and appropriate group placement.
Our goal with Daycare 2.0 is not just dog socialization, but healthy social development, ongoing training reinforcement, and long-term behavioral stability.
