​

A dogwood outing is 1.5-2 hours of off-leash play on the Dogwood land with pick-up, drop-off and clean-up included. Dogs are away from the home for 3-6 hours, depending on location of your home, traffic, and how long we play.

​

Payment for Dogwood outings is through a tuition style structure. Monthly contracted clients commit to a regular schedule, and pay in advance for each month. Costs break down as follows:

 

1x per week*               $190 per month ($2280 annually, $45.60 per outing)

2x per week                $375 per month ($4500 annually, $45 per outing)

3x per week                $560 per month ($6720 annually, $44.80 per outing)

4x per week                $750 per month ($9000 annually, $45 per outing)

5x per week                $850 per month ($10,200 annually, $40.80 per outing)

 

Daycare:                     $65 per day

 

Weekday Boarding:      $85 per day (discounts for stays longer than 5 days)

 

Weekend/

HolidayBoarding:         $100 per day

 

Introductory outing:     $75

 

*1x per week outings are sometimes only possible for older or very mellow dogs.  For younger, active dogs, we often have a 2x per week minimum (personality dependent.) This is necessary to keep our relationships with each dog strong and consistent and to maintain the stability of the pack dynamics.

 

Clients are on a set schedule (for example- Monday/Wednesday/Friday)

 

The above costs are based on 50 weeks per year. For example, a 2x per week schedule is $45 per outing = $90 per week x 50 weeks = $4500 annually/12 months = $375 per month. Pack leaders take 2 weeks of unpaid vacation, the paid holidays listed below, and up to one additional week of paid vacation/paid sick days.

 

2 dogs from the same household are $85 per outing (dogs must be on same schedule.)

 

Drop in/non-contract rate is $50 per outing (we are currently not accepting new non-contract clients.)

 

Additional outings for monthly contract clients are invoiced at their contract rate (for example $45 per additional outing for someone on a 2x per week schedule) through a monthly supplemental invoice.

 

Outings missed due to vacations, appointments or illness can be rescheduled on a space available basis. There is one flex spot for re-scheduling/additions available per day. Priority is given to rescheduling done far in advance. Clients may hold 3 reschedule credits in their account at any given time. Credits are good for 3 months, including the month in which the cancellation occurred (e.g. a walk cancelled on 8/12 would exist as a credit until 10/31.)

 

Dogs on a daily schedule are receiving a discounted rate for services ($84 per month in discounts.) Credits are applied to their accounts on a cash value basis. The $84 discount is deducted from that cash value. The maximum discounts applied per month are $120 ($204 with discount included, the equivalent of cancelling 5 outings) with a maximum annual credit of $360 (15 outings.) Credit can be used for boarding services, if available, or as a discount on a future invoice. This option is only available to daily clients.

 

To receive credit for cancelled outings, we must have at least 24 hours notice (by 9 am the day previous to scheduled outing) for a single cancelled outing, and one week’s notice for cancellation of multiple outings during the same week.

​

Initial email and phone consultations are free, but there is a $75 introductory outing required for all new pack members. This is a private outing with at least one pack leader and a few social ambassadors from the pack to familiarize new dogs with the truck, the woods and pack leaders. Introductory outings typically occur on weekends.
