PLAY AREAS

The Ruff & Tumble Area is for larger size, high energy, wild pups to have fun and explore. We offer these guys a wide open indoor area to frolic and play as much as they want. Outside there are toys to play with, or they can choose to splash in the play pools, play on the agility and climbing equipment or simply chase each other to their hearts content.

Our Petite Pup Playground is an area for smaller dogs under 20 pounds. They too can romp and play all day long, with toys appropriate for their size and a small pup pool too! Having a separate area protects the smaller size dogs from getting hurt accidentally during the crazy, big dog play time.

Our Lazy Dog Lounge is for older pups that would rather relax and get a little one-on-one time with staff. It is a more relaxed environment with soothing music and lots of belly rubs and TLC! No dog, regardless of age, wants to be at home alone all day long. So our lounge is a great place for an older dog to socialize and play without having to endure all the wildness of the young guys. Some of our “lazy dogs” like to play in the “ruff & tumble” area for a half day and then retire to the “lazy dog lounge” for an afternoon of relaxation.

The Playful Pups Clubhouse is for the young ones only. Puppies from 10 weeks to 6 months are allowed in the clubhouse.  Here we work on basic obedience, learning self control, potty training and proper puppy socialization, which is crucial to a well balanced adult dog in later life. Puppyhood is the most important period in a dog’s life and he/she must learn proper dog “etiquette” during this stage. Our staff is well trained and works hard to make certain our Clubhouse members understand their place in the pack!  In addition to learning to be good canine citizens, all puppies receive unlimited quantities of individual attention, love, praise and lots of affection.

Our Facility is a non-smoking environment. We sanitize all dog areas, rooms and yards daily. You can rest assured that your pup will be in a healthy and clean atmosphere during his/her visit with us.

WALKING TRAIL

We have a beautiful walking trail that meanders throughout our 13-acre facility.  This is great for giving our furry guests some extra exercise during their stay with us. You can choose a Nature Walk as an Extra Service with any Sleepover.

GROOMING

The Playful Pups Retreat Grooming Spaw is NOW OPEN!  Call today for your pup's Appointment at 717-689-3408.

Choose a Pampered Pooch Spaw Package if your pups needs a complete grooming service. This includes a brush out, refreshing bath, clipping and scissoring, nail clip/grind and a gentle ear cleaning.

Spaw Day Tubbie Time is for those poochies who have shorter coats or do not require the extra pampering. It includes a brush out, refreshing bath, nail clip/grind and a gentle ear cleaning.

New Puppy Spaw Day includes a starter spaw session for puppies 8 weeks to 6 months.  It includes a bath, ear cleaning, nail trim and a basic clip/scissor if needed.  Our skilled groomer will work on getting your puppy used to the grooming experience and will take her time to introduce him/her to the clippers/scissors and to simply being handled by a new person.  Start your puppy off on the right paw and get him/her used to being groomed at an early age!
