Good Dog Hotel and Spa is excited to see such growth and support from our great city of Indianapolis. We are so happy to be in the heart of Broadripple off the Monon Trail. Springtime gives us the opportunity to meet pups and parents from all over as the sun begins to warm up, and we begin to get out. Our growth has been amazing. Not only has this been occurring because of YOU, our loyal clients, but also because of our committed staff. So, we’ve decided to take the next few weeks to highlight our staff.
Meet Chad. Chad has been our daycare manager for nearly a year and a half now. Chad’s sense of humor keeps everyone laughing here at Good Dog. He always has something funny to say! He is always smiling and his consistent sunny demeanor makes him refreshing to be around.
Chad’s dog, Domino, is 2 years old. He’s a black lab/pit bull mix. He loves that Domino is a mutt, and has a great balance in his disposition because of the mixes of breads. Domino will take ALL of his toys out of his toy basket at home and put them in Chad’s lap, one by one, letting Chad know that it is time to play! This is one of Chad’s favorite things about Domino.
Chad also thinks that Domino is a really good listener, but sometimes he talks back. Chad’s favorite thing about working in the daycare is that everyday is different. The mix of dogs and their moods change on a daily basis. His favorite daycare dog is Hawkeye, who he calls his ‘little buddy.’
His other favorites are Scout, Butch and Annie, and Calvin. Chad loves working at Good Dog because it is very gratifying. “You feel like you’re making a difference with the dogs and get to see how they grow and improve with their socialization and behavior,” says Chad.
A funny fact about Chad is that he can whistle and hum at the same time. Stop by and meet Chad. He’s great!
Hey everyone! My name is Annie Lagrotte. I’m a 4 year-old Great Pyrenees. I’ve often been told I have beautiful long white fur, which could be the reason why I am MY OWN WOMAN. I have to admit, I don’t really like everyone I meet. It just takes me a while to warm up to people.
At Good Dog, there is a staff member named Lucas. Everyone LOVES Lucas, but no, not me. He has this crazy, curly blonde hair. (Okay, so I may be a little jealous…whatever.) I just don’t like him that much. I’ll let the other dogs love on him. Maybe I’m just a rebel.
I have a brother. His name is Soldier. I’m VERY protective of him. Same goes with my mommy. I’m just as protective of her. I feel as though some pooch needs to be responsible for them, so I don’t mind taking that responsibility. I love them very much. I also LOVE Lauren, in Good Dog’s Daycare. I liked her the moment I met her.
I’m really not that playful. I like to think I have a bit of dignity and grace to me. Honestly, I’m a princess and everyone needs to know that. I’m not one for silliness or games, and it is highly unlikely for me to EVER act inappropriately. After all, I have a reputation to uphold.
I’m also pretty tall. I almost reign over all my doggie subjects in Daycare, but in a motherly protective way. I never move fast, always walk slow and never rush because I don’t feel there is a big hurry to do things. Life is sweet and should be taken in.
But, at the end of the day, I am unfailingly loyal and protective. I love being at Good Dog!
At Good Dog Hotel & Spa, we offer a great solution for your “dog cooped-up” blues. By dropping off your doggie at Good Dog daycare for the entire day, or even just a morning or an afternoon, we can guarantee your dog will be much happier than being at home all alone, and we will keep him out of the mischief that he might get into.
Our specially trained staff in daycare put your dog’s fun and safety first. They play with the dogs, throw the ball, run around, as well as keep everybody in line. We have outdoor time every other hour so that your dog will get some fresh air in our fenced in yard. And inside, we have plenty of room to run around too! We have playhouses and also have beds, just in case a ‘cat-nap’ is needed.
So with all this fun, I bet you’re wondering what the pricing structure would look like. Let’s say you just want to try it out once to see how your pooch will like it. Single daycare sessions under six hours are $15 and single daycare sessions for over six hours are $22 a day. However, we feel there is a much better savings for you and your pooch by picking up session packages. You can save up to $150 by utilizing this option. If you’re interested in ½ day sessions (six hours or less) we offer five, ten and 30-day packages. 5-day passes are $60, which would give you a $15 savings. 10-day packages are $120, offering $30 savings and for a 30-day pass, it’s $300, saving $150!
For our full-day, daycare packages, we offer 5 for $100 which is a $10 saving. 10 days is $200, saving $20, and 30 day is $570, offering a $90 savings!
The best part about our packages is that they NEVER expire! We’ve also found that they make a great gift for those who could use it! Let us know what your daycare questions are!
Do you ever wonder what happens to those pooches that are homeless? Have you ever seen a dog that you know by seeing him/her that they’ve had a rough life? What can we do to help these pups? Good Dog doesn’t really have an “official” adoption program, but we have done a couple of them as a way to give back. So far, we’ve helped two dogs find forever homes.
Jack
Jack was the first dog. Jack’s parents had to move because of a job change, and they couldn’t take him with them. They would’ve had to take him to a shelter or a pound had we not taken him in. We were excited to give Jack a place to stay.
We had our trainer work with Jack daily and were able to place him in the daycare to be sociable with the other dogs. We gave him lots of love and ended up having an amazing family adopt him.
Ottis
The second dog we worked with was Ottis. Ottis came into our family when one of our staff saw him at just 8 weeks old, running across 38th street. He didn’t have any tags, a collar, or microchip, and he appeared to be abandoned. We took him to a vet, got him all of his shots and just like Jack, gave him lots of love!
Because he was so adorable and just a puppy, we found a home for him very quickly with one of our current Good Dog families. That means we get to see more of him as he grows up.
Regardless of a move or abandonment, we are passionate about helping dogs get the care and homes they need and deserve. This also makes for building a healthy and happy community. Have you ever run across a pup that you’ve taken in? We’d love to hear your story. Email us or post a comment.
Good Dog Hotel & Spa is extremely excited to launch our new website! For those of you who are not familiar with Good Dog or are visiting our website for the very first time we would like to welcome you and your dog. It is our mission to provide compassionate, loving care to all dogs, especially those entrusted to us, being constantly attentive to their security, safety, and well-being, and to place their welfare and happiness above all other business considerations.
We offer an array of services and accommodations including an all suites hotel, doggie daycare, self serve bathing, professional grooming, and AKC certified Training.
Our Good Dog staff is top notch and our facility is state of the art. We get excited when your pooch is happy, and that is one thing you can count on when your dog comes to Good Dog Hotel & Spa. Whether your dog is stopping by for a groom, spending a day playing in daycare, or checking in for an entire weekend, you will have a happy doggie upon return!
Our new website has many amazing new features that will help you plan your next visit as well as keep you connected to the doggie world! In addition to a new, sleeker look, we have made the site more interactive, allowing you to sign up for our newsletter, check in for new photos of our four legged friends, and read the latest in doggie news and health! We have also included details on our new doggy training programs as well as our doggy adoption opportunities.
However one of the biggest things we wanted to do was to create a space where you could interact with one another. That is why we’ve created a blog. This blog is not just for us. It’s for you and your pooch. So, don’t be surprised if you happen to be stopping by and we ask you to write a bit about your doggy experiences here at Good Dog. And don’t be surprised if we feature YOUR dog in our blog…as your pooch lets the world know how their day was through the eyes of him/her.
Thanks for stopping by our new home. We’re looking forward to getting to know you better!
