Daycare 2.0
One size does not fit all and at Jame Dog Daycation we have decided it's time to change the way we offer dog daycare to be more inclusive for more types of dogs and personalities. Introducing Daycare 2.0! Daycare 2.0 includes the element of enrichment based activities. Enrichment-based daycare for dogs provides a stimulating environment where dogs engage in interactive play, mental challenges, and physical activities, ensuring they thrive both mentally and physically.
Hybrid
Hybrid Daycare is a combination of both group play, which is currently seen as the ‘norm’ for doggy daycare in Australia (don't worry, we're going to change that), one on one activity based play and rest time (because who doesn't want a nap after making friends and working through fun activities).
Your dog's day will be split between engaging one on one with one of our canine carers and rotating between the many enrichment activities we offer and group play among our outdoor daycare environment. This will also be rotated along with rest breaks in between activities.
This type of daycare enables us to tailor the daycare experience towards individual needs. It may be a high energy dog who becomes too excitable in the morning when the energy is high amongst group play and finds it difficult to have a clear mind and listen to our direction, we can then harness that energy into one on one activities to use the energy for a constructive and rewarding exercise rather than them becoming too excitable by going and joining the main group early on and finding it difficult to listen. Then in the second half of the day the dog would join the main daycare group to enjoy exploring the larger daycare area and/or play with some friends. The same method can be used in the afternoon for dogs who may become tired of being with a larger group of dogs all day and would prefer to spend their afternoon one on one with a carer, enjoying fun activities and yummy treats. These dogs would spend the morning in the main daycare area with the large group and switch to activities in the afternoon.

Group
For our group play option, your dog will experience a day full of fun, adventure, and socialization in our expansive play space. Unlike our hybrid or solo options, where dogs engage in one-on-one activities with our dedicated canine carers or participate in small group play, group play daycare allows dogs to navigate their day freely within a large group.
Our extensive, fenced area is a sensory paradise where dogs can immerse themselves in all the delightful smells, dig to their heart's content in our giant sandpit, splash and swim in the pond, engage in games of tug, make new friends, or simply roll in the grass and bask in the joys of a loved dog's life.
While the dogs enjoy their self-guided adventures, our attentive team is always present to supervise and guide their behaviors, ensuring a safe and harmonious environment. To help maintain a balanced day, we encourage multiple quiet times, allowing the dogs to rest and recharge. By the afternoon, you'll often find most of our canine guests happily lounging in the sun or taking a cozy nap.
At our group play daycare, we provide the perfect blend of freedom and structure, ensuring every dog has a fulfilling, joyful day.

Solo
The What & Why for Solo Daycare:
Solo Daycare is similar to our Hybrid Daycare program but our Solo program aims to include those dogs who aren’t dog social, or possibly have previous trauma related to meeting new dogs and prefer the company and attention from humans instead. This program removes the element of contact with other dogs and focuses on one on one attention with our carers through the many activities we offer.
We feel that these dogs still deserve to enjoy themselves, encounter new experiences and relish in the one on one attention from our carers, and with the Solo Daycare program they can do exactly that.
This program also allows for growth and can be a good stepping stone for a dog who doesn’t have previous experience with groups of dogs and therefore needs to be given the time and attention to grow trust and confidence with us before moving on to our Custom Daycare program, and for the right dog, if it’s something that would suit them then potentially our Hybrid Daycare program.
