Open Play: Fun, Safe, and Socialized Playtime for Your Dog

At our Doggy Daycare, we offer a dynamic and safe environment for dogs to socialize, exercise, and have fun. Our Open Play sessions are the heart of our daycare experience, allowing dogs to interact freely with other pups in a secure, supervised setting.

What is Open Play?

Open Play is a structured playtime where dogs can engage in social, physical, and mental activities with other dogs in a controlled and supervised environment. Our expert team closely monitors all play sessions to ensure safety and positive interactions at all times. Whether your dog loves to run, fetch, or just relax with friends, Open Play provides an enriching experience tailored to every dog’s personality.

How Open Play Works

• Group Play Areas
  We divide our play areas into separate sections based on size, temperament, and energy level. This allows your dog to interact with others who are similarly matched, ensuring a fun and safe environment for everyone.

• Supervised Play
  Our trained staff is always on hand to supervise the dogs during playtime. They observe the dogs closely, step in when necessary to guide play behavior, and ensure that everyone plays in a positive and respectful way. We focus on creating a harmonious atmosphere, where dogs can express themselves and socialize without stress.

• Variety of Activities
  During Open Play, we offer a variety of activities to keep the dogs engaged. From games of fetch and tug-of-war to hide-and-seek or obstacle course challenges, there’s always something fun for your dog to enjoy. We rotate activities to keep the dogs stimulated and entertained throughout the day.

Benefits of Open Play for Your Dog

• Socialization
  Open Play is an excellent opportunity for dogs to improve their social skills and make new friends. Whether your dog is an outgoing extrovert or a more reserved pup, the playtime helps them learn proper dog-to-dog communication, build confidence, and become more comfortable around other dogs.

• Physical Exercise
  Dogs need regular exercise to stay healthy and happy. Open Play gives your dog plenty of opportunities to run, jump, and play, burning off excess energy in a fun and safe way. This helps keep them physically fit, reducing the risk of obesity and other health issues.

• Mental Stimulation
  Play isn’t just about running around—it's also about using your dog’s brain! From puzzle toys to interactive games, we provide activities that challenge your dog’s mind and keep them mentally engaged.

• Stress Relief
  For dogs that experience anxiety or boredom at home, Open Play provides an excellent outlet for releasing pent-up energy and stress. After a day of fun, most dogs leave feeling happy, relaxed, and ready for a peaceful night’s rest.

Safety in Open Play

• Group Selection
  We take great care in grouping dogs with similar play styles, ensuring that your dog will feel comfortable and safe in their play group. Whether your dog prefers active, high-energy play or calm, gentle interactions, we’ll find the right group to match their personality and needs.

• Health Checks
  All dogs participating in Open Play must meet our health requirements, including up-to-date vaccinations and flea/tick prevention. This ensures that every dog in our care is healthy and ready to play.

• Monitoring & Guidance
  Our trained staff members are always watching the playgroups, ensuring that interactions are positive and that no dog is overwhelmed. If any issues arise, we step in promptly to redirect the dogs and make sure everyone is comfortable.

When Can My Dog Participate in Open Play?

Your dog can join Open Play as soon as they are enrolled in daycare and have passed our assessment to determine their compatibility with group play. We’ll evaluate your dog’s social skills, behavior, and energy level during their first visit and match them with the appropriate playgroup.

What to Bring for Open Play

• A collar with an ID tag

• Any special dietary treats or food if needed

• Proof of vaccinations (required before participation)
