Dog Playgroups in Boston
Matched by size, energy and play style, supervised by a trained handler in fenced areas, indoors and outside, all year.
Overview
Playgroups are a great setting for energetic dogs of any age to exercise and have fun with other pups. Early and frequent time with other dogs is a vital part of healthy development, reinforcing safe play and making your dog friendlier with others. As the saying goes, a tired dog is a happy dog.
Our playgroups are never a free-for-all. We combine dogs of similar size, energy level and play style, and a trained handler is always present. Groups meet in fenced areas inside and outside, year-round across the Boston area, in 90 minute or extended four hour sessions, so your dog comes home physically tired and mentally satisfied.
