Dog Gone Problems

Dog Gone Problems runs a small dog daycare in Omaha, Nebraska, with training built into the day. The daycare holds 12 dogs at a time, so the room stays calmer than a large open-play floor and staff can keep track of which dog needs a break.

Services and amenities

• Daycare for a group capped at 12 dogs
• Indoor play space and outdoor space
• Dog training
• Daily crate games to practice calm kenneling
• Walks, enrichment games, and frequent potty breaks every day

What the day looks like

Training is part of the daily routine. Staff work on calm behavior while the dogs are there, so the day doubles as practice. Crate games run every day, which gives dogs a chance to settle behind a closed door on an ordinary afternoon instead of only when something stressful is happening. The facility gets a deep cleaning daily. Owners who want to see the rooms before signing up can book a free VIP tour.

Hours, drop-off, and booking

Drop-off and pick-up are drive-through, so there is no lobby wait on the way to work. Monday through Friday the doors are open 6:15 AM to 9:00 PM, which covers early shifts and late finishes. Saturday and Sunday hours are 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Booking is handled by phone at 402.814.DOGS, and the team can also be reached at doggoneproblems@gmail.com or through the Dog Gone Problems pages on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and Twitter.

Who it fits

The small headcount suits owners who want structure during the day instead of a large free-for-all playroom. Dogs who need practice settling, or who do better in a smaller group, are a straightforward fit here.
