Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
Do I need to add enrichment activities separately, or are they included in daycare?
Enrichment is built into our daycare structure, but we also offer additional enrichment add-ons for pet parents who want to provide extra stimulation.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
How does your daycare help prevent bad habits like jumping or rough play?
Because we focus on structured, supervised play, we redirect behaviors before they become a problem. Our team promotes polite play, impulse control, and appropriate social interactions, reinforcing good manners throughout the day.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
Can my dog do multiple enrichment activities in one day?
Yes! Depending on their energy level and preferences, dogs can participate in different activities throughout the day, from playgroups to solo sniffari walks, treadmill time, or puzzle games.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
What makes your daycare different from traditional dog daycares?
Our daycare is enrichment-based, meaning we focus on quality over quantity. Instead of endless, high-energy play, we provide structured activities that engage your dog's mind and body. This reduces stress and promotes good behavior.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
Can I tour your facility before booking?
Yes! We’d love to show you around. Just contact us to schedule a tour. We do accept walk-ins also. We do not do tours during quiet time, typically 1230-130pm.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
What types of enrichment activities do you offer during daycare?
We rotate a variety of enrichment activities, including puzzle feeders, scent work, agility-style obstacles, treadmill work, fetch, tug games, and social group play and more. We do seasonal activities as well. Dog's always have the option to opt out of any activity we're doing.

How do you determine what enrichment activities are best for my dog?
We rotate a variety of enrichment activities, including puzzle feeders, scent work, agility-style obstacles, treadmill work, fetch, tug games, and social group play tailored to each dog's personality and needs.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
Will my dog get to play all day?
Not exactly! We prioritize structured play and rest periods. Dogs who play nonstop can become overstimulated, leading to behavioral issues. Our structured schedule balances activity and downtime to keep your dog happy and stress-free.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
Do you have breed or age restrictions for enrichment daycare?
No, all breeds and ages are welcome! Our enrichment structure ensures that even young puppies, senior dogs, and working breeds receive activities suited to their needs. Though all dogs need to be vaccinated, puppies should have at least their first 2 rounds of vaccinations
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
My dog isn’t very social with other dogs. Can they still benefit from daycare?
Absolutely! Not all dogs enjoy large playgroups, and that’s okay. We offer individualized enrichment like solo sniffari walks, interactive toys, treadmill training, and one-on-one play with staff to ensure every dog has a great experience.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
What if my dog gets bored easily?
Our enrichment-based structure is designed for dogs who need mental stimulation. By introducing new challenges, problem-solving games, and physical activities, we keep your dog engaged and fulfilled.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
Do you offer transportation for daycare and boarding?
Yes! We offer pick-up and drop-off services within Utah County.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
How much does pick-up and drop-off cost?
Pricing varies based on distance and the number of dogs. Contact us for details!
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
How does enrichment help with my dog's behavior at home?
Mental and physical stimulation reduces boredom, frustration, and excess energy—key contributors to problem behaviors like chewing, barking, and jumping. Many owners see a calmer, more relaxed dog after a day at our daycare.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
How can I tell if my dog enjoys enrichment daycare?
Many dogs show positive signs like increased confidence, better behavior at home, and excitement when they arrive. You can also add daily report cards so you can see what your dog enjoyed that day!

Everyone here is super friendly and they all care so much about my dog pickles. They all are keeping me updated on how he’s doing in groups as well as giving me tips and answering any questions I’ve had whether it comes to training or just anything to do with dogs in general. Bandits stay and play is 100% the best place I could ask for to take my furry buddy!!!

We highly recommend! We have done both training and boarding here. Our dog is well cared for while being boarded. The staff talks about how much they love him. Our dog is still learning dog social cues so he plays separately from the other dogs and I appreciate that they accommodate to his needs. My goal is to be able to go to pet friendly stores with our dog. We have been doing group classes for just a few months now and he has improved so much! He used to bark and lunge on a leash every time he saw a dog. Now he is able to focus with other dogs around and he only lunges every once in a while. And it’s only been a few months! We’re so happy with his progress. The trainers are wonderful and work hard to make sure you and your dog are comfortable! We love the positive reinforcement focused training.

I recently moved to the area and was looking for a groomer. I found bandits and decided to give them a try. My dog has been groomed 8+ times before coming here and I have never been told he was difficult to groom or acted out. Bandits said he was very defiant and they had a very hard time trimming him in lots of areas. He came out with lots of long and uncut spots. Mainly his paws, underarms, sanitary area, ears and top of his head. His haircut was super uneven and I asked them for specifications and nothing I asked for was done or kept. They also Charged me for a 70 lbs plus dog and he only weights 50-55 pounds. It took them 3 plus hours and he doesn’t even look like they tried for more than an hour. As far as there grooming services I was not impressed and will not go back.

So the conventional wisdom is that doggy day care / boarding is always a last resort because dogs are dogs yet business is business so if your dog comes home alive it's either dumb luck, facility-wide 24/7 crating, or your dog was the biggest one there. Bandit's so far has done a ton to change my mind for the better. Maybe it actually is possible to do right by the dogs yet somehow remain affordable to regular folk! I've been taking my dog to Bandit's for half-day "play dates" for a few months now. It was meant to be a sort of emergency stop-gap until I could make permanent arrangements for regular care, but the thing is, she loves it there. We haven't had a single injury yet, not even small ones. She comes home bouncy and cheerful and then slides into a contented nap after each visit. I see the staff engaging in sound behavioral practices at each drop off and pick up. And it hasn't had any negative effects that I can see around things like reactivity or training setbacks. Seems to me that Bandit's is doing a great job at actually being a serious dog care facility that is positive for the dogs and not just the convenience needs of the owners. Which is amazing if you think about it, and pretty rare. Bottom line, Bandit's has become a frequent spot in my dog's life and I hope they stay around and continue to be great because she'd miss it if we had to stop. No complaints, and much hope that they keep going just as they have since we started visiting.
