DOGS: Owners enthused to meet new clients

From Page A1 done, Hespe and Wiebe opted to co-own their own Dogtopia. public opinion.

“I have not read a single thing about this case. … This case is what I hear here in this courtroom,” Beronio said. “So whatever a press agency wants to publish, I’m not reading it. What they write will not prejudice me at all. There’s been no showing that I need to exclude anyone. The motion is denied.”

Sebastian Oñate, editor of The Davis Enterprise, said he’s gratified by Beronio’s ruling.

“The law was clear on the matter; the public is best served by openness in serious crimes of this nature,” he said. “Beyond the tragic loss of life, and the direct and indirect impact on so many people, this case touches on wider public-safety issues that will be important for the community to hear.

“Transparency in our court process is an important part of sustaining a functioning democracy; it was good news for all Yolo County residents that this important principle was upheld,” Oñate added.

The minor remains in Yolo County Juvenile Hall custody pending a detention hearing to determine whether he should remain there or be allowed to return home while his case is pending.

That proceeding is scheduled for Aug. 15, with a jurisdictional hearing — the equivalent of an adult-court trial — set for the week of Aug. 21.

“I did extensive research and kept coming back to Dogtopia because of their commitment to quality and safety. We started all this in September of 2021, and we had to find the right location. The old Tuesday Morning building stood out to me, and I talked to other tenants in this complex who spoke very highly of the landlords and they’ve been great to work with. We also had to find space, put in a bid for construction which has taken months and we needed the city to sign off and all that. It’s been a lot of hard work and money, but there’s a lot of excitement in the community and we’re excited to be a part of this,” said Hespe.

“It will be dog daycare, and we will also be offering boarding and spa services eventually, but not right away. There’s just a huge demand for dog daycare because Davis is such a dog town, and Dogtopia does things a little differently. We use homestyle crates in the playrooms so the dogs play there all day and then sleep in the playrooms so it’s a familiar environment instead of taking them off to a separate part of the building. So, they’ll be playing and sleeping in the same room with the same dogs, and dogs can develop best friends and it’s really cute to watch.”

While dogs are notorious for their abundance of energy and the occasional case of the “zoomies,” playing all day can be overstimulating. Which is why Hespe maintains the dogs will get a lunch break or nap time during the day. In that time, the Dogtopian workers will be sanitizing everything (which is done twice a day) to further ensure every canine visitor’s safety and wellness.

“We have 5,500 square feet of space with three large playrooms where we separate dogs by size and temperament. We have our ‘toy box’ room which is for our smaller dogs, then two rooms for larger dogs. One’s called ‘the gym’ for calmer, larger dogs. Then we have the ‘romper room’ for more energetic dogs. We can also use our homestyle crates to accommodate more dogs. For example, there are more reactive dogs who may not qualify for other daycares, but we can use our homestyle crates to put them and let the room calm down before letting them out,” said Hespe.

“Everything we do is about the safety and exercise and education of the dogs. The Dogtopia mission statement is all about safe socialization, exercise and education so that we can have better canine citizens. Then they’re going to be better behaved around other dogs and humans out in public and at home.”

Hespe went on to talk about the pet friendly cleaning solutions they’ll use, the padded floors in the playrooms to support dogs’ joints as well as the HVAC/dehumidifier systems in each playroom to control the climate. On top of that, the dogs in daycare can also lose weight through the constant play they’d otherwise miss out on left at home.

Of course, Hespe’s love for dogs isn’t bound to her own two labradoodles and she promises the attending dogs will, indeed, be spoiled rotten with stimulation games, bacon-flavored bubbles and other doggy delights.

Dogtopia will be at 417 Mace Blvd Suite F; its soft opening is set for Monday, July 24. Hespe and Wiebe also will host an open house on Saturday, July 15, from 5 8 p.m. Learn more about this resident Dogtopia at dog topia.com/davis or 530316-4775.
