At Crate Escape, we know that every dog is different—which is why we’ve designed all of our daycare to follow a structured Enrichment Lab model. This approach allows us to provide smaller, thoughtfully matched playgroups, a 10-to-1 dog-to-staff ratio, and intentional balance between play, enrichment, and rest.
Our Temperament Trial is a half-day introduction designed to ensure your dog feels comfortable and confident within our program.
During the trial, your pup will be gently introduced to our daily rhythm, including enrichment activities, carefully managed social time, and built-in crate breaks that allow for rest and decompression. Crate time serves as a calm, predictable reset—helping dogs regulate, recharge, and return to play in a balanced way. We’ll also introduce them to members of our team to observe how they respond to new people and experiences.
Throughout the process, our experienced staff closely monitors your dog’s comfort level, play style, and ability to settle within the structure of the day. At pickup, we’ll share our observations and discuss how your dog can thrive in our enrichment-based program.
