In the animal world, there are two positions, the leader and the follower. We at CLUB HAPPY DOG are the leaders.

Each day, the pups enjoy safe romps and play adventures at lovely destinations in the best of the great outdoors. We feature calm leadership and a "pawsitive" continual connection with each
adorable dog!
THE DOGS ARE OUT FROM HOME around 3 hours on average with a range of from two to four hours. Home pick up varies from 9:00 to 10:30 AM. Each day's timing depends on who's on the schedule, where they live, traffic, and the house's proximity to that day's playground. After the first outing, we pick up your dog without disturbing anyone in your home per your Enrollment instructions.
PLAY TIME is very focused, intense, and lasts around 1.5 hours. This is long enough for thorough social exercise and fun play, while short of the dogs becoming tired and grumpy, or napping on our time.

What do I need to send? Just your dog with his/her snug fitting leather or cloth collar & tags.
Could you feed my dog at drop off? Sure, as long as it can be quick so the other dogs aren't waiting.
Rain Days (the downpour variety, not mist or sprinkles) Per your Enrollment, we either cancel and credit rain days, or take your dog out for a brisk take-care-of-business jaunt from home.

Any Special Program for Two Dogs from the Same House?
With our guidance, Dog #1 gets a break from the often irritating youngster to relax and enjoy frolics, punching out from his 24-7 sitting job. Dog #2 who is usually more dependent learns to socialize with others without relying on the security of #1, hurdling any shyness or uncertainty while developing appropriate play skills. In addition, you receive a pricing discount.
CLUB HAPPY DOG's Leash Policies
Dogs are kept on lead where legally required like public fire roads and trails. Dogs who are RELIABLE (come to our feet without fail on call) are let off lead in our safe private fenced settings late October until early March. At our clients' beach homes and dog beaches, Club members who pose the risk of taking off for Mexico are kept on long training leads.
Serving Pacific Palisades, Brentwood, Santa Monica
"... the Club Med for dogs."
*The bones & ligaments of puppies are forming through their first one to two years. Permanent damage can result from sustained hikes during this time even on dirt trails. Sprints with breaks are more natural during this phase.
It's a rare treat indeed for a Southern CA pup to enjoy snow play, but our CLUB members relish these day long winter treks to the mountains.
And you get a very clean, happy dog on his/her return!
Cool Pools
We thank our clients for letting us bring a small play group to enjoy your yard and pool!
Mountain/ Canyon Hikes with
Mid-Way
Frolics
Our hiking distance depends on weather, escalation, and each individual dog. Strong adults often bound 6+ miles round trip, while seniors, those with joint or hip issues, chubbies, smaller tykes & juveniles* cover roughly half that. The staff starts together and splits along the way. All take a midway water and frolic break. Mountain ridges are only hiked on chilly winter and marine layer days.

BEACH DAYS
TRANSPORT is in our van or one of the helper's cars. In the van, the dogs safely ride comfortably in separate cages on thick foam beds. They relish the transport routine almost as much as the outings themselves, waiting for us at the door or gate to barrel in and greet their friends. On the way home, there's a lot of snoring.
When golden retriever "Biscuit" saw a Fed Ex van zip down the street past his house, he thought it was us leaving him behind. He dug through his yard, ignoring the electric fencing, and chased the van five miles down to PCH. We thank the bewildered driver who kindly stopped to scoop up and return Biscuit to Mom per his home tag address.
Private Playground Park-Like Socials
Small Dogs Grouped Separately for Safe Play
We are loving, warm-hearted, and FUN! Your dog will cherish his/her time with us, waiting at the door to bound to us on our arrival. We have fifteen years of dog excursion experience, and understand what it takes to make your dog not only safe but HAPPY! We will help you raise your puppy from being a goofy juvenile with behavior needs into a treasured soul-mate adult.
