The Dog Stop

The Dog Stop Metairie, a 10,000 sq. We were bred from the beginning to be America's best all-inclusive indoor/outdoor dog care facility.

ft dog care facility, features luxury dog boarding accommodations, an indoor/outdoor interactive & social daycare experience, a spa-like dog grooming retreat, holistic retail store, & much more. The owners of The Dog Stop® spent several years researching the pet care industry, surveying the needs of local pet owners, and planning an all-inclusive facility after they saw a lack of transparency in t

he industry. Their goal was to create a fun and safe environment where dogs would love to come and play, and pet owners would feel 100% confident in the superior care that their dogs were receiving. In 2009, the first The Dog Stop® doors opened in Pittsburgh, PA. Since that day, The Dog Stop’s mission has been to deliver a superior experience for the dogs and their whole families by providing a safe environment, offering educational opportunities, anticipating and exceeding the needs of clients and their pet companions, instilling complete peace of mind for those we serve – and to earn their trust every day! Today, there are over 20 Stops throughout the United States! Each Stop is locally owned and operated, but was bred and trained on the original The Dog Stop morals and mission. The Dog Stop® is here to offer an honest and reliable pet care solution so that you can be the awesome pet parent you need to be!

🐶✨ Training Tip Tuesday! ✨🐶
5 Reasons Positive Reinforcement is Best!
1️⃣ Faster Learning & Retention – Dogs learn quickly and remember longer when rewarded with treats, praise, or play.
2️⃣ Stronger Bond – Rewarding good behavior builds trust and deepens your connection with your pup.
3️⃣ Less Fear & Anxiety – Unlike punishment, positive reinforcement makes training stress-free and fun.
4️⃣ Lasting Results – Dogs trained with rewards are more likely to repeat good behaviors consistently.
5️⃣ Works for All Dogs – No matter the age, breed, or temperament, positive methods are effective for every pup!
Train smarter, not harder—reward the good and watch your dog thrive! 🐾💙
