Trollgaard Dog Day Care

Trollgaard Dog Day Care is a dog daycare in Atkinson, NH, located at 9 East Road on four acres of farm land. Dogs come for supervised play, outdoor exercise, and rest, and the program is built around small groups rather than one large playroom.

What Trollgaard offers

• Small, supervised playgroups of two to six dogs
• Half-day sessions up to five hours and full-day sessions up to ten hours
• Four outdoor exercise yards, each 3,000 to 5,000 square feet, with natural grass
• Climate-controlled indoor space for rest and indoor play
• Dog-friendly pools during the summer

What makes it different

Plenty of places run one large open playroom. Trollgaard keeps groups to two to six dogs, which tends to suit dogs that find a big crowd stressful. The staff-to-dog ratio is high, so dogs are watched closely rather than checked on now and then.

How a day works

Owners pick a half day of up to five hours or a full day of up to ten hours. The four yards give dogs real room to run on natural grass, and the indoor areas are climate-controlled for rest and play when the weather turns. In warm months, dogs can also use the dog-friendly pools.

Practical details

The yards are secured with 6-foot fencing and a double-gated entry, which matters for dogs who like to test a gate. Every dog must be up to date on vaccinations before attending. Hours are 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Owners can call (603) 918-8324 or reach Trollgaard through its website to ask about availability and next steps.
