To us, dog care has always been about more than just watching dogs play.

It’s about understanding canine behavior, creating safe social experiences, encouraging healthy outlets for energy, and building trusting relationships with both dogs and their families.

For over 15 years, we’ve been honored to care for the dogs in our community like they’re part of our own family.

Thank you for trusting us with your pups. 💙

📣Important Health Update for Pet Parents🐾

As we move into the busy summer season, we want to make pet parents aware that there has been a seasonal increase in canine respiratory illnesses among social dogs in our area. This is something commonly seen during periods of weather changes, increased travel, and higher levels of dog-to-dog interaction.

Symptoms may include:
• Dry cough
• Sneezing
• Runny nose
• Mild lethargy
• Decreased appetite

While vaccines such as Bordetella can help reduce the severity of illness, they do not prevent every strain of canine respiratory illness.

At Playful Pups Retreat, the health and safety of the dogs in our care remains our top priority. We continue to follow our thorough cleaning, disinfecting, air quality, and wellness monitoring protocols, and any dog showing symptoms while in our care is immediately separated from group activities and sent home.

We kindly ask that any dog experiencing coughing, sneezing, or respiratory symptoms remain home from daycare, boarding, grooming, and training until symptom-free for at least 7 days.

As always, we believe in open communication, education, and partnering with pet parents to help keep our canine community healthy and safe.

Please contact us with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your continued trust in our team.💗

A well-trained dog isn’t just easier to live with… they’re often more confident, fulfilled, and successful in everyday situations.

Our Mind Your Manners program is designed to help dogs build important life skills while strengthening the bond they share with their families.

From polite behavior to improved focus and self-control, we’re here to help dogs become the best version of themselves, one positive experience at a time.

What training goal are you currently working on with your dog?

Not every dog needs more chaos.
Some dogs need more enrichment. 🐾

Sniff Central gives dogs the opportunity to use their noses, problem-solve, and engage in species-appropriate activities that support both mental and emotional wellness.

And the best part? The dogs absolutely LOVE it.
