Here's info about Pick of the Litter in their own words:

Carie and Stephanie recognize that many people work long hours and hate to leave their dogs at home alone during the day. Our doggie daycare provides dogs an opportunity to relieve anxiety and boredom due to a lack of appropriate exercise We were trained by SF SPCA professionals who are now at dogTEC.org. They taught us the positive reinforcement method. Rewarding with high value treats, speaking with a happy voice and understanding a dog's body language are just a few of the ways for a dog to have a fun and safe experience. No need to dominate the dog. Our doggie daycare is limited to twelve doggies maximum. This promotes a safe and fun environment where each dog can receive the attention it deserves. Also, we will take a small group of six or less to the park (or beach) for additional stimulation for those high energy doggies that need extra activity. Our private boarding is limited to four dogs maximum. Your dog will be treated like family and have full run of the house and private play yard. We do not use crates unless the client prefers it. The dogs will be included in the walks to the park or beach for exercise. We want your doggie to come home happy and healthy after your vacation.
