What kind of variety does dog daycare offer that dog parks or walks don’t? 🤔🐶

Dog parks mainly offer open play, while walks are often limited to the same route and routine. At Dogtopia, pups can enjoy agility-style exercises, brain games, follow-the-leader, bubble chasing, craft days, themed photoshoots, tasty treats, playroom dance parties, and more. 🧡

This mix of physical activity, mental stimulation, enrichment, and variety helps make every day more engaging for your pup.

Update on our service dog Jack 🧡

Jack here with a little life update. Things have been going pretty well around here, and I've been keeping busy learning more about this whole Service Dog business.

I'm practicing my manners, working on my focus, and getting used to new routines. My favorite part? Finding out that when I listen and make the right choice, good things tend to happen. I may not understand exactly how this system works yet, but I'm definitely willing to keep participating!

I've also learned that staying calm and paying attention can open the door to all kinds of adventures.

So far, I'd say I'm doing pretty darn good!

Keep wagging,
Jack 🐾

We love receiving updates on all of our service pups 🧡 Thank you all for your generous donations and helping us be apart of a great cause!

Mikayla Morris of Dogtopia's Canine Behavior Expert Council explains how pups learn their owner's "normal" well enough to notice when something is off.

Dogs may not understand that you’re ill, but their powerful senses can pick up changes in your smell, body language, voice and routine. Experts explain what your dog could be noticing - and why their reaction doesn’t necessarily mean they know you’re sick
