Our outdoor play area was designed with the comfort, safety and enrichment of your dog in mind.

astroturf with soft underlay to disperse heat on hot days and protect your dog's paws
shade and weather protection for those not so pleasant days

relaxing diffusers and music create a calming space
vinyl floors give your pup a non-slip surface to run around on
temperature control for those very hot and very cold Canberra days
storage for your pup's items so they don't get lost
play equipment that will positively stimulate your pup's senses

Cleaning

We clean our facility every day to reduce the risks of infection between pups in our care. Where possible we use, lightly or pup-friendly scented cleaning products.

Our Program

Early Morning

Our pups arrive between 8:00am-9:30am for a day of fun and adventure. Pups get to play in the yard with their friends during this time.

Morning Walk

Early Morning

We have a range of routes in the Kingston area for your pup to explore as part of a group lead walk.

Naptime

Early Morning

Enrichment Activities

All our pups have the chance to rest up during the warmer parts of the day. This helps them to reset for the afternoon.

Enrichment Activities

Each day, we will work one on one with your pup to provide enrichment activities (such as puzzle toys, fetch or tug); time to practice their basic training (such as recall, sit, wait or place) or even take part in desensitisation activities (such as gentle touch or expose to different textures)
