The Canine Social Club.
A day club for dogs at the ranch, with door-to-door pickup from Ridgewood. Days among balanced dogs, run by dog trainers, and every member approved individually.
The days.
Your dog spends weekdays with the same trainers and the same dogs they already know. Each dog's day is shaped to that dog: walks, an acre of nature park, structured activities, play among balanced dogs, and rest, with the team close by. The day is that length on purpose. A dog who is excited for ten hours straight never practices calm, so members come home tired the right way, calm rather than wound up.
Membership.
We keep memberships limited, and every dog is approved individually against the same five standards: friendly with dogs, friendly with people, settled in a crate, walks well on leash, and no aggression or reactivity. Graduates of our training programs can apply directly. New dogs begin with an assessment day, subject to individual approval.
Club Assessment Days run on Wednesdays, 10am to 2pm, for now. You drop your dog off and pick them up at the ranch; there is no van service for the assessment. Dave leads the day, with Steve stepping in if Dave is unavailable. You receive our decision within 24 hours of the assessment.
The fee is $295, with the same credit terms as the Residency Assessment: credit toward a booking within 30 days. If your dog is accepted, it goes toward Club days; if not, it goes toward training. The decision does not cost you the credit.
Door to door.
Regular Club days run on weekdays with pickup and drop-off at your door in the Ridgewood area: pickup between 8:00 and 9:30 in the morning, drop-off between 2:30 and 4:00 in the afternoon. One text and your dog is on the calendar for their usual days. Assessment Days use owner drop-off and pickup instead.

Membership is by application, and every dog is approved individually. The application takes five minutes, and you will hear from us within one business day.
An application opens a conversation. Nothing is booked until we have spoken.
