About Newdogday

What it is

NewDogDay on Land Art Road in Wausau runs three lanes off one idea: "Dog Boarding, Doggy Daycare, Dog Training, Kennel." The organizing principle is the pack — "Since the dawn of time, dogs have evolved to work, play, and heal within a pack" — and the site's motto is "Work. Play. Heal."

The training side

The training section states its allegiance openly: "Advocates of 'Cesar's Way', we help families reconnect with their dog through work, play, and the restorative power only a dog pack can provide." It claims breadth of experience — "Having worked with all types of dogs doing all types of work (civilian and police) we understand the importance of taking time to get to know each dog and the people in their lives" — and breadth of case: "Whether preparing for a new puppy, simple obedience, or complicated aggression, no dog is too much to handle."

Boarding and daycare

Boarding is pitched against the kennel norm: "Gone are the days of isolated dog boarding in steel cages on concrete floors – here dog boarding is defined by the rhythm of the pack." The page notes that "special dietary needs, socialization, grooming, and veterinarian services are available" during a stay, and warns that "spots are limited and fill up quickly." Daycare is described the same way — pack-focused, aiming at "an exceptionally balanced and healthy dog."

Hours and contact

The site lists weekday hours from early morning to late afternoon, Saturday by appointment, and a short Sunday window; one number takes both phone and text.
