We’re animal lovers and fully understand that our dogs are so much more than simply “pets.” They’re our best friends, our companions and confidants, and important members of the family. We also understand their need for attention, training, exercise, and mental stimulation each and every day.

We’re committed to providing a healthy, fun, and nurturing environment for your dog while you’re away for the day or on vacation. We put an emphasis on daily enrichment activities to provide mental and physical stimulation for every guest, on-going socialization, training, and confidence building as needed, and of course, a lot of belly rubs and snuggles!

I love the A-Z Program. The communication was amazing, any questions I had or concerns were answered and well explained. From the very start I had felt like Bup was in the right hands from coming in for a tour to completing his program. The videos are an amazing tool for not being able to be there and watch him learn, I am able to recreate and really understand how to continue his training at home and can reference them when needed. I just mostly want to say thank you very much for the time and attention everyone at Playful Pups puts into their training programs, I can tell and see a huge confidence boost in Bup and couldn’t be happier.

The staff is absolutely AMAZING!!! They are all so friendly and so compassionate. It is very clear that they have a passion and deep love for our furry babies. I have never felt so comfortable leaving my kiddos for a weekend than I have with Playful Pups!
