About Us
Philosophy - At The DogPLAYce,
the underlying philosophy is simple – let good dogs be good dogs. Let them run,
let them play, let them curl up on the sofa for a comfy rest when Mom and/or
Dad can’t be around. We treat your dog(s) as if they were our very
own. They are always supervised and
secure, but allowed to have as much freedom as their individual dispositions
allow. We understand the special bond
between you and your dog(s) which is why we strive to treat every dog with the
same kindness and respect they would receive at home. Our goal at all times is to create an
environment that is not only safe and clean, but is comfortable and stimulating
as well.
Quality of Life – We are committed to providing the best quality of life for
your dog, as you would at home.
Maintaining and teaching your dog everyday manners is a main priority at
The DogPLAYce. Whether your dog stays
with us for daycamp or overnight, good dog behaviors are a part of everyday
life at The DogPLAYce. All dogs practice
and are positively rewarded (praise and yummy treats!) for good dog behaviors
such as sit, down, come, no jumping on the hired help, no charging the door,
being quiet, no mouthing, etc. Our daily
good dog manners reinforcement does not replace the expertise you receive at
training facilities such as A Good
Dog’s Life and other positive motivation-based trainers in the
Our facility is
small by design accepting a maximum of ten dogs at any one time creating an
environment that can accommodate your dog’s individual temperament and
tolerance, and insures individualized attention. Guests are pre-screened so that only
non-aggressive, well-socialized dogs are accepted. Dogs that play well with others can play. Dogs that need more human contact have more
human contact. Dogs that need rest and
relaxation, have that as well.
Minimal Confinement – Kennels and separate areas generously sized for
different sized dogs are used minimally to maintain a safe and non-stressful
environment for all the dogs under our care.
Most guests roam freely throughout the home-like facility and sleep
wherever they choose, sofas being the main attraction. It’s as close to home as
you can get for your canine companion(s).
Our facility –
We offer a secure, fenced play area for playtime and exercise throughout the
day. Inside the facility is bright and
airy with high ceilings and a large living room with sofas and dog beds where
your dog sleeps at night and can play indoors during rainy days, rest, listen
to the radio, or watch TV.
