The Ruff House is a building, not a black box. Everything on this page is the plan — the rooms, the route, and the order your dog moves through them. Scroll, and you walk it.
The dashed line on the plan is the line your dog walks: curb lane and lobby, small-dog room, puppy room, play yard, nap room. Nothing on the route is a mystery, and nothing is behind a closed door.
The curb lane is the stretch out front where the handoff happens. Inside, the lobby is the last room your dog sees you in — and the first room we check them in.
One room is kept for the small-dog play group, so a nine-pound dog never has to negotiate with a ninety-pound one. Same building, same people — their own square footage.
Puppy play happens in its own room, on the kind of surface that survives it. Young dogs get the social reps they need, and somewhere soft to fall over when it all gets to be a lot.
Full-day dogs spend real chunks of the day out here, running the fence line and wearing each other out properly. It is the room the whole plan is built around.
The last room on the route is the quietest one: low light, soft surfaces, and dogs who have earned it after a day spent moving through every other room on this plan.
Same building, different shapes. Full-day, half-day, a monthly membership, a play group, or the ride to get here — each one is a separate area on the plan, so you are choosing a place, not a line on a price list.
The whole building, the whole day. Drop-off in the morning, pick-up at the end of it, and a dog who sleeps the whole way home.
A morning or an afternoon, taken as a pass instead of a standing commitment. Good for the dog who needs the outing, not the whole day of it.
A standing spot in the building, month after month, so your dog keeps the same routine and the same faces.
Play sessions in the room set aside for smaller dogs, so the company matches the dog and the dog does not have to shout to be heard.
Short, supervised play for young dogs and the shorter attention spans that come attached to them.
The dashed route around the edge of the plan: a pick-up and drop-off run for dogs who would rather ride than wait at the window.
Every dog starts with a first-day evaluation. That is how we work out which rooms they belong in, and which dogs they should be in them with. Here is the whole sequence.
Send us your dog's details and pick a day. The evaluation comes first, before any package is set up or any room is assigned.
You get the tour you just scrolled, in person — room by room, in the same order, with the people who will be in there with your dog.
Once we know where your dog fits, pick the zone — full-day, half-day, a membership, a play group, or the ride — and we will set the standing spot.
This is the last room on the plan, and the only one that needs anything from you. Tell us a little about your dog — size, age, and what you are after — and we will get the first-day evaluation booked.
