Small dogs have some unique needs and play styles that their bigger friends don’t necessarily share. That’s why we’re delighted to offer a specialized daycare experience at our location on 6th Street in San Francisco, just for dogs under 20lbs.

Itty Bitty Doggy City is specially created for small dogs from adolescents all the way up to seniors, and dedicated to creating a positive and fun environment that also supports your training goals. It’s a perfect way to continue your puppy’s time with us after they graduate from prep school! 

We are more than a standard daycare — our counselors are also trainers, and our staff-to-dog ratios are always low so that we can provide your dog with individualized attention, engaging opportunities to practice basic training cues, and closely supervised and well-matched playgroups. We’re even able to work on some behavior issues like noise sensitivity or reactivity to novel objects like skateboards.

Is my dog a good fit?

If your dog is:

• Older than 18 weeks (we have a different program for puppies!)
• Able to get on well with other dogs
• Up to date on their vaccinations
• Not currently suffering from an infectious disease or a serious physical injury that might prevent them from having fun with others

They’re welcome to join us at Itty Bitty Doggy City!
