Just Dogs PlayCare Means Training for Your Dog!

A Totally Different Kind of Doggie Daycare!

Just Dogs PlayCare is truly a boutique experience. We know that today’s pet parents expect something different for their pet. At Just Dogs we have it all. Training. Play. Enrichment. Excellent staff. Posh amenities. It is our mission, every single day, to give your dogs the work and purpose they need and deserve!

PlayCare Starts with TRAINING

Appropriate Stimulation Starts with Training

Whether your dog comes for enrichment or traditional daycare or boarding, they will experience social situations carefully crafted to help them learn and grow.

During doggie daycare, we work on obedience training and manners with the dogs in our play groups. They learn things like jumping up on a door or gate is not the way to get it opened — Sitting is! Sitting gets you praise and smiles and a happy voice, PLUS the door opened. How cool is that?!

It’s so much fun to watch the lightbulb go off for dogs when they start to GET what we are teaching them. Other dog training we work on includes doorway etiquette, coming when called, drop it, leave it, not playing keep-away, and more. Plus we teach silly stuff like shake and Army crawl. Just for fun!

Friends Hanging with Friends – and Experienced Human Advocates!

We Set Dogs Up For Success!

As for play, we mix dogs with other dogs we feel they will enjoy being with best based on the careful assessments and temperament tests we conduct. In other words, we set them up for success! Our dog handlers are engaged in on-going training to understand canine behavior, language, and socialization so they can keep everyone safe and happy during daycare and boarding!

Enrichment and Training
