our mission & philosophy

Zen Dogs Center (ZDC) was created for the mental and physical health of all dogs, big and small.  Our mission is centered around the humane treatment of animals. It is our belief that all animals deserve positivity, fairness, respect, understanding, affection, and of course, lifelong relationships with other dog friends and the ZDC staff who take care of them.

A dog daycare program is not just about letting dogs play, it is providing the right experiences so that all the dogs can play safely and happily while learning their every day manners (shhhh! Don’t tell the dogs who don’t realize they are learning while having fun!).

We know that in order to achieve success and harmony for our zen dogs, it is most important to recognize their innate behaviors and personal tendencies to assist them in adjusting to our daycare setting. We always look at the zen dog's “whole picture”, and how they can best experience learning, fulfillment, success, and joy from our daycare setting.

We believe in positive reinforcement training, and our staff are trained in dog behavior, safe canine management, and canine First Aide and CPR.  We believe in caring for the whole dog - our program is designed to teach everyday manners, appropriate and fun play, and maintaining enriching relationships with our Rufferees and Management Team.

We strive for excellence, and to exceed every client’s expectations.  We seek a lifelong relationship with each of our families and their zen dogs!
