Where it is ALL About the Dogs!

Playful Pups Retreat Daycare & Training Center is our second location serving the Central PA area. This new 7,200 sq. ft., state-of-the area facility, offers doggie daycare, “Canine Enrichment Club” daycare, an assortment of group training classes and a program especially designed for young puppies. There is also a retail area with awesome goodies for your very best furry friend! We have more than 10,000 sq. ft. of outdoor play areas that offer K9 turf as ground cover and are fully fenced. And best of all... we have a PAWSOME doggie waterpark for our furry guests to have a crazy, fun time pawtying with their pals in!

We pride ourselves in having the safest environment, with highly trained staff who have your pups best interest at heart all the time. Every dog who attends our daycare must have a behavior assessment before attending daycare for the first time. This helps us to know which group is best for each dog and we can assure that every dog is having a fun time playing with their pals.

Our Canine Enrichment Club is an innovative new form of daycare that offers smaller groups of dogs, enriching and mentally stimulating games, training time, activities and structured periods of rest, that are tailored to meet the individual needs of each dog that is a CEC member. There are many benefits of membership, which include discounts on bathing services, retail products and also on overnight boarding at our Milton Grove Road luxury boarding facility.

We also offer a wide array of training classes to help you and your furry friend be the best team possible. Stop by for more information or give us a call! We would love to talk to you about our fantastic facility!
