Our Philosophy
The Dogs Come First
Our main priority here at HADI is to provide a safe and fun environment for your dogs.
We work with your dog to make sure his/her experience playing with others will be a great one. That means we assess your dog’s behavior and work with him or her to match them with dogs of a similar size and temperament.
At HADI, our guests are placed together in small groups of 2 to 5 dogs in a play yard for companionship, socialization, and exercise.
We make sure that any dog that is shy, older, or fearful has their own space or shares a yard with just one other dog they like.
Your dog is already in a different environment, which can be stressful. As experts in dog behavior and the most effective training methods, we completely avoid aversive tools for corrections. We only use love, positive reinforcement, and lots of treats to help your pet adjust as needed.
At HADI, we follow the science of dogs and stand behind our philosophy: No dog deserves to be kept in a kennel during the day time!
