Doggie Daycare Manager
Our Origin…
Renaissance Dogs was founded in September of 2006 as an alternative to traditional kennels that offer group play. We are a daycare first and foremost and only provide boarding to our daycare attendees. Our expertise is in helping social dogs develop appropriate play styles, good behaviors, and positive relationships.
Where are we going?
After 16 successful years, Renaissance Dogs is an industry leader and model for doggie daycare. Following the spirit of changing dogs’ lives and responding to the needs of modern dogs, Renaissance Dogs is taking the next step to offer an enriched environment where dogs can learn, be social, and thrive. This will encompass enrichment activities, personalized training, tailored exercise, and a structured day program. We will use the power of rewards-based training, social learning, and group play to build a stable and social dog. Under this model all dogs can become a Renaissance Dog. We are looking for a leader to help us develop and achieve these goals.
