Why Our Daycare is Different
At Wagmore, we do daycare differently. Instead of all-day group play, your dog’s time with us is curated by certified trainers who understand canine behavior, stress, learning, and wellbeing. Enrichment activities stimulate your dog mentally, socially, and physically to help them become confident, well-adjusted companions.
Traditional daycare often means large groups, constant interaction, and overstimulation. Dogs may come home tired, but it’s often stress-tired, not fulfilled. Our enrichment-based model reduces anxiety, encourages problem-solving, builds good manners, and creates a calmer dog at home.
We don’t just look after your dog. We help them grow.

Daycare Basics
