Make the first day the best day…
Starting daycare is a big moment in your dog’s life (and admittedly yours). Whether you have a curious puppy, a high-energy adolescent, or a shy adult dog, preparation makes all the difference.
At Pawparazzi K9 Enrichment Resort, the only enrichment-based daycare facility in Edmond, Oklahoma, we specialize in easing dogs into a structured, supportive, and engaging environment that honors their instincts and promotes well-being.
Wondering how to prepare your dog for their first day at daycare? Here are a few solid steps to get you started.
- Complete the New-Client Sign-Up (and Ask for a Quick Tour)
Before your pup’s first day, hop onto Pawparazzi K9’s New Client portal to create your profile and upload vaccination records. While you’re at it, feel free to request a brief tour or meet-and-greet—our team loves showing newcomers around and learning about each dog’s quirks. - Set Realistic Expectations
All dogs are different. Just like kids at school, many may need a few days to adjust. And that’s OK. Some are social butterflies from the word “go,” while others need a bit more time to feel confident. Rest assured that our team will support your dog’s transition with patience and care.
- Maintain a Calm Morning Routine
Dogs tend to mirror our energy. On the first day, be sure to keep your tone positive but relaxed. Avoid long, drawn-out goodbyes. A short and cheerful send-off sets the tone for a calm transition.
- Trust the Process
Our Enrichment Daycare isn’t about constant action. It’s about balanced engagement. Our unique program allows dogs to rotate through various activity stations each day, from scent work to fitness, interactive games, and downtime. Over time, this routine promotes not just tiredness, but true mental fulfillment and behavioral growth.
Why Pawparazzi K9 Enrichment Resort Is the Right Choice

Here, our guests receive:
- Personalized attention from trained Enrichment Counselors.
