The first step
What is a Good Fit Test?
Every new dog starts with one. It’s how we make sure open-play dog daycare is right for your pup, and how your pup gets comfortable with us, all before you commit to anything.
01 · A relaxed meet and play
Your dog spends about 2 to 4 hours in real open-play so our Droperators can see how they do with the group, at their own pace.
02 · Free, with no commitment
The Good Fit Test is on us. No membership, no pressure, just a feel for whether Dogdrop is right for your pup before you sign up. Dogs 8 months or older need to be spayed or neutered.
03 · One test, every location
Pass once and your dog is cleared for open-play at any Dogdrop. Start here at Mueller and you’re set everywhere.
