This is a 30-minute play-time for dogs between 40lbs to 120lbs and 6 months old and over to socialize. We provide a safe environment for dogs of a medium to large size to socialize and play, while also providing trained staff to facilitate appropriate dog-dog interactions and answer any of your training concerns.  There are two playgroup categories designated by weight (Medium 40-64 and Large 65-120).

The cost is $50 for a monthly pass, and meets weekly

One person per dog.
