About Us
How We Are Different
-
Every single pup has their own personal space that allows them some alone time between group play sessions. This is important to allow rest and recovery time and also is more healthy for the pups compared to full-time group play.
-
Our small group play sessions have the lowest attendant to dog ratio in Smyrna and beyond. These low ratios improve safety and allow more personalized care.
-
Dogs prefer routine and this leads to reduced stress. Our daily programs are structured and the dogs quickly learn the routine and often know what’s coming next before we give any indication.
-
We carefully construct and customize play groups based on the pups present each day in order to ensure safety and best fit each pup to their needs and preferences (play buddies, etc).
Our Values
-
Health & Safety
Our top priority is the health and safety of your dog(s). We provide the team with regular safety training, have sound cleaning procedures, and Dr. Baker (owner and experienced veterinarian) is very involved with all aspects of health and safety.
-
Personalized Care
We recognize the unique personality and background of each pup and do our best to ensure that they have a safe and enjoyable time with us. We know all regular guests by name and understand the behavior profiles of each pup. We also have different areas such as the senior room and quiet room that best cater to specialized needs. Your pup is not ‘just one in the mix’ to us!
-
Convenience
We strive for convenience as we know most customers have busy and active lives. Booking requests and cancelations are quick and easy through our app or website Optional pre-paid packages allow for quick & easy checkout.
