More Than Just Dog Daycare
At The Wag Club, daycare is about much more than keeping your dog occupied while you are at work. It provides a supervised environment where dogs can socialise, build friendships, exercise and learn how to communicate and respect one another’s boundaries. Over time, this regular interaction can help them become more confident, adaptable and comfortable around other dogs.
Once morning check-in closes at 9:30am, the group can settle into the day without the disruption of dogs continually arriving and leaving. Under full-time supervision, they enjoy social play, games and activities suited to the weather and the energy of the group, along with natural periods of rest. Our team knows every dog individually and understands that being happy does not always mean running and playing—sometimes a relaxed nap is the clearest sign that a dog feels safe and comfortable.
Every new dog completes a trial so we can assess their personality, energy, anxiety levels and behaviour around others. We consider who is attending each day, while allowing the dogs to naturally form friendships and find their favourite playmates. If a dog becomes overstimulated, our monitors intervene early to reduce the intensity and keep play positive. Daycare is not suitable for every dog, and we will always be honest if we believe another type of care would be safer or more appropriate.
The Wag Club is designed for dogs who will attend regularly and become part of our daycare family. We offer full days (from 7:30am - 6pm) and half days (9am-2pm), shuttle transport for concession-card holders, and discounted full grooming during daycare. Trusted throughout the Bay of Plenty and supported by an experienced, carefully selected team, we provide professional care focused on what matters most: your dog’s safety, happiness and wellbeing.
