Frequently Asked Questions
Why Indoor Dog Daycare?
Indoor doggie daycare offers a wide range of benefits that go beyond just staying out of the weather. At Stay N Play, our climate-controlled indoor space is thoughtfully designed for small dogs to thrive — safely and comfortably.
Consistent Comfort
Rain, snow, heatwaves? No problem. Our temperature-controlled environment keeps your dog cozy and safe year-round, no matter what the forecast says. No sun burns on the bull dogs. No tangles and knots on the Havanese and Poodles. No weeds. No Ticks.
Safe & Supervised Play
Indoor spaces offer better control of the environment. From flooring to fencing, every detail is designed to prevent injury and promote safe, enriching play for small dogs.
Clean & Controlled Environment
Less exposure to environmental allergens, parasites, or wildlife means your pup stays healthier. Plus, our facility is sanitized daily with pet-safe products. The entire environment is sanitized, and regularly sterilized with a commercial steamer.
Structured Enrichment
Indoors allows us to create consistent routines and focused enrichment programs like Minds and Manners training, confidence games, and interactive brain challenges. We have over 50 training games, 100 exercises, and 226 tricks that will keep your pup happy and engaged.
Small Groups Reduce Overstimulation
Our calm, controlled setting helps sensitive dogs avoid the stress of unpredictable outdoor environments, loud noises, or excessive excitement. There are no ‘unexpected’ stimulations in an indoor environment.
Everything is controlled. Everything is homelike. For dogs, familiar is safe. Dogs do not go through the stress when they start daycare. This means that your dog will not get the typical ‘stressors’ associated with going to doggie daycare.
Smaller groups, and less dogs per supervisor, means that dogs can be removed, or redirected when overstimulation occurs. Indoors, stopping bullying is easy as dividing the play area up, throwing in some more toys, or moving a dog to another play area.
Year-Round Socialization
Your dog can safely play, learn, and socialize every season — regardless of weather conditions.
Why The Elgin Centre?
Mental & Social Benefits of a Mall-Based Daycare
A doggie daycare in a mall offers more than just convenience — it provides meaningful mental and social stimulation in a unique, controlled environment.
Mental Enrichment
The mall setting brings a variety of new sights, sounds, and scents that help stimulate your dog’s brain in a safe, supervised way. From ambient noise to gentle foot traffic, these controlled exposures help build resilience and adaptability.
Confidence Building
Being near a busy, but structured environment helps dogs become more comfortable with everyday stimuli — like shopping carts, doors opening, background chatter, or different flooring textures — all while remaining safely inside our secure facility.
Positive Socialization
Your pup engages with other dogs in a calm, indoor space designed for small-group play, learning healthy boundaries, and improving communication skills — without the unpredictability of a public park.
Reduced Reactivity
For dogs working through behavioral challenges, the mall setting provides the perfect blend of real-world exposure and professional support. With certified trainers on-site, we gently guide dogs through desensitization and behavior adjustment in a way that’s tailored to their needs.
A Sense of Routine and Belonging
Regular visits to a familiar, enriching environment — full of friends and friendly faces — provide emotional stability and joy, helping your dog feel safe, confident, and socially fulfilled.
