Remembering those who fought for our freedoms ❤️ Lest We Forget.

We’ve Been Keeping a Secret! 🤫

🐾 You may have noticed some changes at our main building over the past few weeks! We’ve got a new airlock gate at the front, and the back area is now fully fenced! So… What’s going on???

📣Introducing Our Newest Park... THE THREE SISTERS!
Named after our 3 late pups, Tundra, Rosie and Daisy, we are revamping our indoor area to offer our clients the best of both indoor and outdoor play! In the coming weeks, Penny’s Place and La Vie en Rosie will change and become 1️⃣ park for booking, with the addition of an outdoor area outside! This will give our clients the best of both worlds - an indoor space to play, and an outdoor spot to enjoy!

❓What Happens With Existing Bookings?
Existing bookings will be transferred over to the new park. If there is a conflict with these bookings, our team will reach out to you to reschedule another time.

⏰ When Does This Change Happen?
Our crew is working hard to make these changes happen! We anticipate having this done in the next few weeks, and will have an open house for clients to come check it out once we’re ready!

Stay tuned for more details on our opening date! We can’t wait to share this new space with you and your pups!

11/01/2024

⏰ Don’t forget to change your clocks back this weekend! Your pup won’t care but they will care about having to eat meals an hour later than usual 😆

With this time change, we will have earlier sunsets and as a result our Field of Dreams and Adventure Land, our only parks that are not illuminated at night, will fall back to winter hours, which will usually coincide with sunrise and sunset (starting this weekend, 8 am-5 pm). This will not affect current bookings, however we strongly suggest that you rebook within those times if you are booked in Field of Dreams or Adventure Land starting next week.

We hope you and your pups have a great weekend and enjoy the beautiful fall weather while it lasts! 🍂🍁🐕

🎃🐾 Happy Halloween from Play Unleashed! 🐾🎃

We hope everyone’s pups are enjoying the spooky season safely and staying stress-free! Halloween can be fun for us, but for our furry friends, it can bring a few extra surprises (and not always the good kind!). Here are some tips to help keep your pups calm and comfortable:

🦴 Set Up a Safe Space – Create a cozy retreat for your pup, especially if the doorbell will be ringing often. This might be in your basement or bedroom where it’s quiet and comfortable. Add their favourite toy or fill a kong with some fun treats for extra stimulation to distract them from all the excitement.

🚫🍫 Keep Candy Out of Reach – Halloween treats can be tricky for dogs. Keep candy and chocolate safely out of reach to avoid any accidental snacking and keep your pup safe.

🐕 Stick to Their Schedule – With all the Halloween excitement, keeping meals and potty breaks on time can help reduce stress. Getting them out for a walk or a romp at one of our private off leash parks before the trick or treaters come out is a great way to make sure they’re tired and not overstimulated!

👺 Watch for Costumes – Some dogs love dressing up, and some don’t! If your pup isn’t a fan, consider skipping the costume or opting for something light, like a festive bandana. Taking pups out trick or treating may seem like a good idea, but for some nervous pups, it can add more stress and confusion and they may be happier being left at home.

Stay Calm, Relax and Have Fun – Dogs pick up on our emotions, so try to stay relaxed and give lots of treats and praise for calm behavior. If all else fails, snuggle up with them and watch a Halloween movie together!

Wishing you and your pups a safe and fun Halloween! 🐶🧡👻🎃🐾 Do you have any tips for keeping your pup calm and happy during spooky season? Let us know in the comments below ⤵️

A quick update on PARKING! 🅿️

Please remember that parking is only permitted in DESIGNATED parking areas!

🅿️ What is considered “designated” parking?
Our gravelled parking areas are the only designated parking area available to our clients.

🚫 What areas are NOT designated parking areas?
All grassy areas as well as locations next to the gates of Adventure Land, Enchanted Forest, Brent’s Woods, Marjorie’s Meadow and Roger’s Retreat are NOT considered parking areas.

🙋🏻Why can’t I park in these areas? It’s closer to the gate for my reactive dog.
Please remember we have designated parking for a reason! We have underground septic tanks in many areas and vehicles on these areas will cause thousands of dollars in damage. Parking along the road is not permitted either, as it blocks the flow of traffic. If your dog is reactive and needs to be close to the gate, please consider booking Ken’s Meadow (and book early!) as it has the most private parking area.

♿️ Please respect the accessible parking stalls!
There are several accessible parking stalls available for people with mobility issues. Please ensure that these spaces are kept clear for those who need them! If you have specific parking requirements, please reach out to us!

🦮 Please do not loiter in the parking areas or at park gates!
All dogs and guests must remain in their vehicle until their booking time starts. If you must approach an occupied park, please ensure you do not approach with your pup, to ensure everyone’s safety and comfort.

Are you here for our TikTok? No, wait, we mean Tick Talk! Alberta is now considered a tick habitat so here are some tips and tricks to keep your pups safe this tick season!

Happy Long Weekend to all of you and your pups! The last few days of rain have brought about some muddier conditions in the parks, and with the weekend forecast expected to be wet and rainy, it’s very likely that your pups will get muddy this weekend if you’re heading out to the parks! Roger’s Retreat and Field of Dreams are very muddy, with all other parks at a 3/5 on the mud scale, so bring along some towels and prepare for a bath if your pup likes to roll around!

Here’s hoping to sunnier conditions next week to help dry out the parks! Have a safe and wonderful long weekend everyone!

05/12/2024

To all our amazing dog moms,

Happy Mother’s Day! Your love, care, and dedication to your furry companions inspire us every day. Your pups are lucky to have such wonderful moms, and we’re grateful to be a part of their lives. May your day be filled with joy, wagging tails, and lots of cuddles. You deserve all the treats today!

Warmest wishes from all of us at Play Unleashed 🐾

Penny’s wishing you all a great weekend! It’s beautiful and sunny out there and we hope everyone enjoys it!

Mud Update for the weekend of May 4th!

After a couple of dry weeks, it looks like fifth winter arrived and brought with it a bit more mud! Parks are damp and there is a small amount of mud but no major puddles. with the weekend forcast expected to dry up, we think the parks will be in great condition for playtime on the weekend!

Gophers have begun to wake up and make their homes in Adventure Land and Field of Dreams, as they do every spring - please be aware that there are a few holes that pop up as they infiltrate. Our crews our out filling holes and working on the situation daily but if you have pups that love to run or dig, we suggest booking Ken’s Meadow, Marjorie’s Meadow or Enchanted Forest as those parks don’t seem to be as much of an attraction for gophers! Please try to keep your dogs from digging as this causes many issues for our maintenance team and results in more down times for repairs.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Sigh… Fourth Winter is on its way… stay tuned for more mud updates this week!

When you show up expecting a meadow but find a lake… 🌊🐾🙀

Penny is hard at work trying to clear some of the snow for all our weekend guests! The tractor 🚜 is having a hard time in these cold temps, but Penny was able to help get it going. She was a little upset that Cody wouldn’t let her use the blowtorch to get it warmed up. 🥶❄️☃️

Penny’s Place got a huge makeover today and Penny is so excited to share it with you! Our new competition grade agility equipment is now installed and ready for some indoor play! Come check it out - now open at @playunleashed! *A reminder that agility equipment is for CANINE USE ONLY and not for humans! #agility #dogsofinstagram #airdriedogs #yycdogs #pennysplace #privateoffleashpark #privateoffleashdogpark #offleashplay #puppies #puppiesofinstagram #airdriepups

Some ice melt and sand is now in the bins beside each park! We know it looks like a garbage can but please use the receptacles provided in each park for your garbage ☺️ It makes our maintenance crews job easier when they don’t have to sort through trash to get to the sand mix! ❄️

Update from Cody as we head into this cold snap! 🥶

Wait, what?

Enchanted Forest additions part 2!

Final few hours of the sale… and a new exciting addition to Enchanted Forest! (Part 1)

Penny hard at work with Cody in the parks!

Our Story

Our kennels measure 4 feet wide and 10 feet long inside. Weather permitting your pet has an adjoining kennel out in the fresh air under the cover of a canopy. The walls dividing each kennel are solid which allows for privacy and quiet should your pet want a nap. The fronts of the kennels are chain link which allow full view of what’s going on all around! We keep your pet constantly engaged with direct human contact by rotating them outside constantly throughout the day. This allows your pet a chance to stretch their legs and sniff the post for the latest news at the Place 4 Paws! The kennels are disinfected daily. This makes for a healthy, clean environment for your pet. Each kennel is meticulously cleaned before you check in, so much so that we have had clients comment on how they would eat off the floor! Check out our website for more information or call us anytime! Our prices are as follows: Dogs: 1 dog - $47.75/night 2 dogs - $86.00/night 3 dogs - $115.00/night 4 dogs $145.50/night * All prices are for the use of one kennel. **All prices are subject to GST. The Place 4 Paws accepts cash, cheques, debit, mastercard or visa.
