More Than Just Playtime

Because what dogs do all day matters

At Mother Pupper, we believe in providing more than just doggy daycare; we provide a haven for dogs to flourish, grow, and wag their tails with joy. As a small-group doggy daycare in Portland, Oregon, owned and operated by dedicated dog trainers, we bring a unique blend of expertise and passion to create an environment that goes beyond the ordinary.

We are committed to the continual growth of your dog and guiding them toward becoming a well-rounded, confident companion. Our core curriculum is used to guide our time spent with your pups in all of our programs with a focus on:
-Recall & Name Recognition
-Engagement with Handlers
-Impulse Control
-Settling with the Pack
-Emotional Regulation & Arousal Management
-Social Skills Within the Pack

Because daycare should be an asset to your training plan, not a hinderance. What your dog does all day matters!

Services:

Our bread and butter, a weekday membership based service. We go beyond traditional doggy daycare to provide an enriching experience that aids in your dog’s training rather than harming it. Our regular weekly enrollment creates a stable and predictable pack to help set all our pups up for safety, success, and fun! Our goal is to help all the dogs in our care become the best companions they can be, not just within our daycare walls but in all aspects of their lives. Elective Class is available as an add on for all daycare members at each location.
Members are also eligible for boarding at our sister company, Rascal Training, as well as having first invites and often discounts to any workshops or events hosted by Mother Pupper.

Our small group program for adult dogs that may need some additional support (small amount of dogs, not just for small dogs!). Specifically designed for dogs that may not do well in a larger group setting for whatever reason. Most dogs - but not all - are specifically working towards skills that would assist in them being eligible for Daycare Membership, including impulse control, recall, and confidence building.
