  • Build Important Experiences at an Early Age. For dogs, it’s never too late to learn. But the experiences they gather in the first 3-6 months of their life have a formative effect on their personality, especially when it comes to their comfort in unfamiliar situations. “By recognizing the critical time frame in which canine socialization develops, you can help to ensure a healthy social attachment to people and other animals, including other dogs,” write professional veterinarians Debra Horwitz and Gary Landsberg.
  • Get Tons of Exercise. Whether enjoying the 10,000 sq ft indoor play gym or one of the outdoor play yards in our 4-acre double-fenced compound, your young pup can enjoy all the space they need to romp, roam, and get their energy out.
  • Discover New Activities and Interests. Puppies have distinct personalities that develop in response to their environment, as well as their unique preferences. At Greenlin puppy daycare, they’ll have infinite opportunities to encounter new experiences, try different forms of play, and learn fun games from their peers.
  • Give Your Puppy a Safe Space to Spend the Afternoon. Puppies have boundless energy and curiosity. That can sometimes spell trouble when left to their own devices during the day. They could even get into dangerous situations. At Greenlin, they’ll be supervised by trained, experienced staff and surrounded by an environment purpose-built for puppies.
  • Get a Well-Deserved Break. Puppies are a lot of work! While you love every moment you spend with them, you also have errands to run and plans to enjoy. Get shopping done, visit Hershey Park with the family, or just enjoy an afternoon to yourself.
  • Banish Boredom. Puppies get bored more easily than mature dogs and crave near-constant stimulation. It’s impossible to be bored at Greenlin’s Hershey dog daycare! With so many friends around, so many toys to enjoy, and lots of activities available, your puppy will be guaranteed to have a ball — and go home well-rested.

Health and Safety Are Priority One at Greenlin

Greenlin has a reputation for safe practices and comprehensive procedures to ensure the well-being of our guests. These protocols apply doubly to special guests, including young puppies and senior dogs. You can rest assured that your puppy will be in safe hands during their visit.

  • Comprehensive Evaluations and Play Group Separation. One of the most common causes of issues at dog parks and other places is the mixture of dogs of all sizes, ages, and demeanors. At Greenlin, we group animals into like-minded, similarly sized cohorts so they can enjoy themselves to the maximum possible extent.Pro Pet Hero
  • All Staff Are CPR and First-Aid Trained. Every single puppy daycare staff member at Greenlin is ready and able to intervene in the event of a medical emergency. They receive CPR training and learn vital First-Aid response techniques so that life-saving care can be administered quickly.
  • Toys and Activities Extensively Evaluated. Our Hershey location is our newest facility, but we’ve been in the business for over 15 years! We carefully pilot new toys, equipment, and activities before introducing them to daycare groups. Day-to-day experiences also tell us which entertainment options are most popular and least likely to compromise the safety of our guests.
  • Environments for All Weather. We’re ready for play on any day, no matter what weather comes our way! Our expansive grassy fields and artificial turf paddocks provide options for outdoor fun and games. On days when it’s hot, raining, or snowy, dogs can still enjoy themselves in our 10,000 sq ft climate-controlled indoor play gym.
  • Close Supervision and Small Staff-to-Dog Ratios. Greenlin staff is responsible for groups of manageable sizes, and they know precisely what signs to watch out for to avoid unpleasantness.
  • Daily Sanitization Practices. Not only are our facilities continually fed fresh air via state-of-the-art filtration systems, but they are also cleaned daily by our staff using only pet-safe products. We ensure that all public areas, dog equipment, and toys are cleaned and sanitized regularly.

Introduce your puppy to swimming in a safe, supervised environment courtesy of our indoor, in-ground swimming pool designed especially for dogs. With different depths for dogs of a range of sizes, puppies can get their paws wet or enjoy a few laps.

We’ll be happy to teach them if they’ve never been swimming! Swimming lessons are available as part of their puppy daycare stay.

Do I Need Vet Approval to Bring My Puppy to Daycare?

We do not require vet consent for your puppy to come to our facility, but we require that your puppy has gone to a veterinary practice in the region that can verify their immunization records and offer care if needed.

How Do I Prevent Unpleasant Experiences at Daycamp?

Socialization is a learning process, and puppyhood is the best time to get started.
