This is built for the households who are already sure.
Curious K9 is not standard daycare. The Founders Club is for those ready to lead the pack.
- You already know your dog will be a regular here, not an occasional guest
- You want a real, personalized plan for your dog — not a generic daycare package
- You'd rather lock in founding pricing once than shop around every year
- You want to be part of the Original 50, on the wall, at the events, in the room
- You're looking for the cheapest possible one-off daycare day
- You're still deciding whether daycare is right for your dog at all
- You want to wait and see the space before committing to anything
Found Nowhere Else
Two exceptional privileges reserved exclusively for the Original 50 households.
Deep Dive Discovery Days — Complimentary
Every new member normally pays $159 for our 3-day evaluation before starting daycare. Founders get it free, and it's how we build your dog's actual care plan instead of guessing.
After-Hours Access to the Agility Field
Once our agility field is built, founding households get access outside normal business hours — room to run your own dog through it on your own schedule, with no daycare crowd.
Founding Membership Investment
Status is lifetime, not renewed. One enrollment locks in your household rate forever.
| Household Size | Founding Price (One-Time) | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 dog | $199 | Lifetime Status |
| 2 dogs | $299 | Lifetime Status |
| 3 dogs | $399 | Lifetime Status |
| Each additional dog | +$100 | Lifetime Status |

The Four Pillars of Founder Membership
Everything designed, protected, and prioritized for the Original 50.
Status & Belonging
Permanently woven into the history and physical space of Curious K9.
Lifetime Founder Status
Not a membership you renew. Once you're one of the Original 50, you stay one of the Original 50.
A Numbered Place in History
Your household is counted and recorded as one of the first fifty — permanently, not just for launch season.
The Founders Wall
Your household's name displayed in the building itself, for as long as Curious K9 stands.
VIP Preview Before Public Opening
You and your dog walk the space, meet the team, and get oriented before anyone else does.
Annual Founder Appreciation Event
A yearly gathering just for founding households — not on the general member calendar.
Original 50 Annual Keepsake
An item designed only for founders, given annually for as long as your household holds founder status.
Savings That Don't Expire
Founder pricing isn't an opening promotion. These rates hold for as long as your household is enrolled.
15% Off Retail, Always
Not a launch discount — a standing founder rate on everything in the shop.
10% Off Daycare Packages (3 Years)
Applied automatically to every 5-, 10-, and 20-day package you buy for your first 3 years.
15% Off Premium Enrichment
Sniffaris, Brainiac Sessions, Confidence Courses and the Five-Pillar menu, plus one complimentary Whole Dog Day in your first month.
Preferred Service Rates
Founder rates carry over into select Leash Legacy training services, grooming touch-ups, and off-site adventures.
Boarding Nightly Rates Comparison

|---|---|---|
| CK9 Stay | $50 | $45 |
| CK9 Enriched Stay | $68 | $61 |
| CK9 Signature Stay | $85 | $77 |
* Discounts don't stack — where a founder rate and another discount could both apply, whichever is better for you is the one you get.
First in Line, Every Time
Skip lines, reserve high-demand holidays with priority, and test new programs first.
Priority Booking
Founder households book daycare and boarding ahead of the general waitlist.
Top Priority Waitlist
If a date fills up, founders sit at the top of that waitlist — not the bottom.
Earliest Access to New Programs
New services, new enrichment offerings, new class times — founders hear first and get first pick.
After-Hours Agility Field
Access outside regular hours to exercise and play in the agility field at your own pace.
Deep Dive Discovery Days
Three days of guided immersion before your dog ever starts regular daycare — not a pass/fail test, a real look at how your dog plays, learns, and settles in.
3-Day Immersion
Supervised time in the CK9 environment, long enough for authentic behavior to show up.
Play & Social Assessment
Play style, confidence, and compatibility with other dogs.
Five-Pillar Profile
Nutrition, sensory, intellectual, social, and physical preferences, mapped.
Behavior & Skills
Strengths and manners noted, plus any areas worth support.
Personalized Plan
A recommended rhythm of daycare, enrichment, boarding, and training.
Discovery Report
A written, keepable report card of everything we found.
Parent Review
A real conversation walking you through the findings and the care plan.
Built for Multi-Dog Households
Founder status covers the whole household, and it gets better with each dog you bring on the same day.
Dog #1
Dog #2
Dog #3 & Beyond
