Play Groups

Doggy Dates addresses the social nature of dogs and their place in nature as “pack animals.” Regular, positive interaction with other dogs and humans is vital to the development of a healthy, happy dog.

That being the case, Doggy Dates Playgroup aims to develop your dog’s well-being and confidence by reinforcing calm, appropriate play behaviors in a safe environment. To do this, we transport your dogs to one of our fenced-in facilities located on privately-owned farm land where they engage in a supervised, controlled, and off-leash play session. Playgroup can also help improve your dog’s routine, prevent destructive behavior at home, prepare your dog for boarding or away-from-home situations, and, of course, alleviate dog-mom or dog-dad guilt.

At your dog’s initial evaluative play session, our Playgroup Supervisors will observe his/her play style, energy level, and personality to ensure he/she is placed in a group with the perfect pooch pals.

Our main objectives are to help your dog socialize, exercise, and, paws crossed, meet his/her BFFF (best furry friend forever)!

Monday – Friday

Sign your pup up once a week or five days a week, it’s up to you! Our play sessions run from the morning to the early afternoon, Monday through Friday, rain or shine.

Single Dates or Full-day Care

We offer single play sessions as well as triple play sessions (full-day care)!

Time Windows

Doggy Dates picks up and drops off in 1.5-hour time windows. It is not necessary that you be home for pick-up and/or drop-off.

Restrictions/Reasons for Non-admission

We have a comprehensive application process in place to ensure all dogs that come to play are friendly and pre-socialized. Doggy Dates will not admit dogs with aggression issues. All dogs offered a “free trial” must pass in order to be considered members of Doggy Dates. In terms of medical requirements, dogs must be up-to-date on all shots! For puppies, three DHPP (DA2PPV or DA2PP) boosters and the rabies vaccines are required!

Transportation Provided

Each dog rides in his/her own section of our totally-equipped, doggy-customized and doggy-proof company vehicles.

PRICING

Once you establish a regular schedule, you can add, change, or cancel dates as needed, and your rate will stay the same!

Please note, you cannot sign up for non-consecutive dates. If you choose to enroll your dog in a double date, those sessions must be back-to-back!
