The Dog Stop

The Dog Stop Strip District, a 10,000 sq. ft+ dog care facility, features luxury dog boarding accommo

We were bred from the beginning to be America's best all-inclusive dog care facility. 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 the 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!

🐾 Jumping Prevention 101! 🐾
Did you know that dogs repeat behaviors that get a response—even if it’s scolding? Instead of pushing your dog down when they jump, try this:
👉 Anticipate the jump and say "off" as they approach.
👉 Scatter treats on the ground and reward them with praise.
👉 Repeat consistently, and soon, "off" will mean keeping all four paws on the floor!
Positive reinforcement and prevention go a long way toward a calm, happy greeting! 🐶💙
