Small dogs don't need less care.
They need the right kind.
Tiny Tyrants was built for chihuahuas who are clever, expressive, slightly bossy, and not always thrilled by bigger-dog energy.
We keep routines structured, supervision attentive, and the mood calm, bright, and affectionate. This is not generic dog day care with a tiny-dog corner added as an afterthought. It's a boutique, welfare-led environment for little personalities who benefit from size-appropriate play, predictable rest, and handlers who understand that confidence and sensitivity often come in the same 2.8 kg package.
