While we are confident that your little champ will be an A-list player, we do require each player to attend a one-day training camp session prior to being accepted as an official team member. During this training camp day, our coaches will evaluate your dog's individual behavior and skill level to determine the appropriate team for him to play with. We test each player for ease of handling, current social skills among teammates, temperament, play style, and their obedience level.
At the end of the day, we provide you with a report on how your champ performed, as well as which team we feel he is best suited for. We have found that these initial evaluation days are as beneficial to you and your pet as they are to us. Your dog will also report back to you if he enjoyed his day. He'll be excited to see you when you pick him up from his first day, but soon after you get home you should find that he is tired out. This is an indication that he had plenty of fun and enjoyed playing with his new teammates.
While most dogs make the team without any problem, there are times when we feel a player is not quite ready for team play. Should that be the case, your dog's coach will give you some suggestions on how he can improve his game, such as starting with some group “practice” sessions. We do, however, reserve the right to not admit a dog to our “stadium” if we feel that is necessary or in your dog's best interest.
The fun at Rompin' Rovers begins when you drop your dog off! Players will be matched with other dogs of their size and temperament on one of our spacious playing fields for a full day of play. Playtimes are fully supervised by our coaching staff and are accompanied with training games and behavior modification activities, where the Rompin' Rovers coaching staff will interact with the dogs as a group and individually.
We have two games per day. Our first game starts at 8:30am and goes until noon. Players are then able to go relax in their appointed locker rooms for a cool down, rest, lunch (if desired and provided), and get an energizing snack and plenty of fresh, cool water. We start our afternoon game at 2:00pm and go until about 5:00pm, after which players are again allowed to cool off and refresh themselves as they wait to go home. If the player is staying overnight, he will have dinner, some free time, and then a night game before bedtime.
Positive reinforcement, safety, cleanliness, and fun are our priority at Rompin' Rovers. Playgrounds and all used equipment are cleaned daily. Potty incidents are expected and cleaned immediately. Aggressive dogs are not allowed on the playground. If your dog has an aggressive temperament, we will recommend a training program to help improve this behavior.
Overnight care is also high on our list of standard services that we offer to our clients. Rest assured that while you are away, your special player will enjoy playing with his teammates on his home field. Each dog staying overnight with us will participate in our game day daycare program on a daily basis. This includes over 6 hours of playtime during the day, plus a night game for those staying overnight. Each player will be designated a private locker room for rest periods during the day and for personal sleeping quarters at night.
All players staying overnight with us are required to come in for a day of training camp prior to their first stay, as this helps to acclimate your dog to our surroundings and routines. Please see our training camp page for more information.
Our goal is to make your dog as happy and as comfortable as if they were at home. We love being trusted to take extra special care of your pet during your absence. At night, we let our guest settle in and unwind while they watch some of their favorite programs on Animal Planet before their night game. When it is time for lights out, we turn on soothing music to sleep by.

Puppy Prep Class
A fun-filled, educational class for all dogs less than one year of age. This class helps to build the human/dog bond by using a variety of games and behavior lessons. Teaching in a group session allows for socialization, which is a very important aspect of puppy development. In this class, you will learn about your dog's behavior, proper dog care and handling techniques, correct use of toys and treats in training, and much more. The basic commands - such as sit, come, down, wait, drop it, give, leave it, and stay - are just a few of the behaviors that will be covered in this class. This class meets weekly for 7 consecutive weeks. Download the Training Application
Basic Obedience
This class is suitable for all dogs over one year of age, regardless of any previous training. For puppies who have graduated from the Puppy Prep Class, it will help to reinforce the positive behaviors learned therein. For slightly older dogs who have never had any formal obedience training, it will serve as a great start. The basic commands - such as sit, come, down, wait, drop it, give, leave it, stay, place, and loose leash walking - are just some of the behaviors learned in this exciting class. Your dog will also enjoy learning several new tricks and games. Again, because this class is taught in a group format, it provides for socialization between other dogs and other humans. This course meets weekly for 7 consecutive weeks. Download the Training Application
Advanced Canine Good Citizenship
This advanced class continues to build on the basic commands, but with added degrees of difficulty, such as introducing distractions. In this class, you are encouraged to expose your dog to all manner of situations, including noisy areas and/or equipment, other dogs, people, and distractions like wheelchairs, crutches, and walkers—all common distractions that can cause some dogs to react poorly if they have not been properly introduced to them. Prior obedience training is required before attending this course. With the skills taught in this class, your dog can earn an official Canine Good Citizen certificate from the American Kennel Club.

Flyball Class
This class prepares your ball-loving dog for competition as a valuable member of the Rompin’ Rovers flyball team. If your pooch loves to run and fetch a tennis ball, then maybe it's time to take it to the next level. Flyball focuses on using a dog's natural desire to play fetch, but in the form of a team relay race. Working with your dog in this manner strengthens the dog/human bond and greatly increases the dog's ability to take direction from you in an off-leash situation. One warning: these classes are so much fun, you and your dog may become addicted. Interested? Click here for more info. Download the Training Application
Showers
If your pup has worked up a real sweat on the playing field all week, or you just want him to smell his very best, you can always opt to sign him up for an aromatherapy bath treatment.
