Have an active, energy-driven dog? Our Canine Coaches are constantly striving to provide positive reinforcement through training techniques, so pups can develop proper etiquette and manners. This creates a foundation of skills that will benefit both you and your dog in the long run.
Dogtopia promotes cognitive enrichment through:
🐶 Stimulating activities such as brain games and arts & crafts
🐶 Learning new skills and practicing simple commands
🐶 Exposure to new sights, smells, sounds, and more
Have your furry companion play in our safe and structured environment and give them all the socialization and learning they crave by setting up a Meet & Greet today.
Relaxation begins at our full-service doggie spa. 🧖Planning a day to pamper your pup can be beneficial for their health and happiness.
Here are three reasons why you should book their spa day:
1. Baths help maintain a healthy skin and coat. 🛁
2. Regular nail trims are necessary to preserve a healthy foot structure and posture. 🐾
3. For dogs with long fur, trimming can improve vision by reducing overgrowth around the eyes. ✂️
Book your dog’s next spa appointment today!
Dogs are naturally curious, and the allure of twinkling lights and shiny ornaments can be irresistible. To ensure a happy and hazard-free holiday season for both you and your pup, let’s decorate with dogs in mind.

Celebrating Thanksgiving early with all your pups' BFFFs. With a min $5 Foundation Donation, your pup will share in a special Holiday themed feast!
It’s not uncommon for dogs to be a bit intimidated or reactive around other pups when on walks. At Dogtopia, we ensure that our daycare dogs have plenty of opportunities to socialize throughout the day. This helps them feel more comfortable and confident around other dogs, even outside the playroom. Soon, your pup will be calmly greeting the dogs and humans they pass on walks instead of getting overly excited or intimidated.
For more benefits of socialization, visit: https://www.dogtopia.com/blog/dog-socialization-benefits/

Like humans, dogs also have unique personalities. 🧡 A pup may present more than one personality type, but typically some traits will be more dominant than others. 🐾 By understanding them, you can enhance your relationship with your dog.

As we gear up for Veteran's Day, your current Dogtopia of Dulles sponsored service dog in training wanted to say "hi" and provide an update on his progress!
"Hi palz! It’s your favorite dood, Cheddar Bay Biscuit with some new stories of all of my adventures and new wins these past few weeks! Not to toot my own horn, but I’ve been getting sooo many compliments from my trainer: she speaks so highly of me to everyone, and I can’t make her look like a liar!! I am trying my hardest to prove that I can be the most resilient service dog in my class.
On top of that, my weekend foster made sure to let everyone know how well-mannered I am in a home with kids and other dogs! They loved me and wanted me to come back, so hopefully my report card will convince my trainer to let me stay another weekend with my new friends! This is huge because this means I could possibly go to class and meet my forever person much sooner than they anticipated. Isn’t that awesome?
This week, we went to a place called Bass Pro Shop, which is a store decorated with realistic outdoor sceneries that include fake animals that can be quite intimidating. Not to me, though! I am a new and improved service dog who’s not afraid of anything ... not even a huge, creepy, beady-eyed animal that definitely won’t hurt me at all. Right...? Ha! We went there to take some professional pictures, so you know I had to bring my best behavior. I showed the photographer my stand and brace commands, which I perform to help support my handler’s weight when they are sitting or kneeling. See? I told you I had some good wins for y’all! Stay tuned for next time, and Happy Veteran's Day to all of the warriors out there! Thank you for your service, and I look forward to meeting my own warrior soon!!"
Don't let Daylight Saving Time shorten your pup's playtime! ⏰
Enroll them in daycare so they can enjoy playing, learning, socializing, and exercising with their furry friend group in our climate-controlled indoor playrooms. Even with darker, cooler evenings that may lead to shorter walks, your furry family member can still enjoy a full day of play.
Bathe It Forward! Tomorrow, November 8th
Every spa service today will support our Dogtopia Foundation! 50% of all spa service proceeds today will be donated to the Dogtopia Foundation! Rub-a-dub-dub, get your dog into our tub today for a good cause!
