A day at Stonington:

7 a.m. - time for breakfast, potty break in the yards and a cookie
11 a.m. - potty time and playtime if applicable and a cookie
12:30-2:30 p.m. - nap time. Our pets need down time it is good for their mental and physical health.
3 p.m. - potty break and 2nd playtime and cookie
5-6 p.m. - time for dinner and potty break and cookie
9 p.m. - last call for potty break
10 p.m. - everyone gets a check over, good night cookie and lights out

Each dog is taken out individually. We do allow dogs to go out together if they are housemates or have a relation to another dog staying with us. We find that even the best dog can have a reaction, so we focus on individual playtime for the safety of all dogs and our staff. Playtime is extra time out in the yards with the kennel attendants running, playing, snuggling, or even sniffing around. This is the time that we bond with your pup and create a lasting relationship. There is an extra fee for extra playtime, you can see pricing for more details. However, regardless of purchasing extra playtime or not, every dog is let out 5 times a day.

We like to give the dogs lots of cookies. This is another way we strengthen the bond and trust with each dog that stays with us. We want them to feel safe, secure, and loved during their stay at our boarding facility.
