"I don't know what I would do without Dog Paws at Play. My husky, Jake is a VERY energetic dog. He loves ging to daycare and "talks" all the way there and then he can't get inside fast enough to see all his friends. I love seeing him so happy and I can go to work knowing he is spending the day running off his energy, having fun and being well taken care of instead of being home alone. The staff go above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that Jake and all of his friends have a fun and safe day of play! I don't know who likes Dog Paws better, Jake or me! Dog Paws is truly Jake's home away from home! "

"Champ is a 2 year old boxer. She has been coming to Dog Paws at Play since she was 12 weeks old. I love that twice a week i know she is running, playing and having fun. The staff at Dog Paws treat Champ like she is their own. I believe they love her just as much as i do (if that is possible). The other dogs at the day camp are her best friends and she can't wait to get there on Tuesdays and Thursdays to play with them. I recommend this facility to anyone who wants a safe and fun environment for their dog. We love it!"

"I belong to Jade the Boxer. Like all dog owners, i give Jade the basic needs of food, shelter, companionship, and veterinary attention. Because Jade is special to our family, she is given the opportunity to spend time at DogPaws at Play. By doing so, Jade is given the chance to socialize, play, run, romp and join a "pack" of a multitude of other breeds in a safe environment and simply have fun for the day. I enjoy watching my beloved girl interacting with the other dogs. Jade is a dynamo in action; her energy is tireless. DogPaws at Play gives Jade something that i simply cannot give her - hours of literally non-stop interaction with her own kind. And i know when i go to pick Jade up, she will be happy to go home and anxious for the next visit.

I can't thank Dr. Hechko and his caring staff enough for the devotion they have for their facility and their four-legged friends. They truly care about the welfare of their clients in every way possible. From making sure all pets have the proper immunizations, to the initial introduction to the "pack" on the first visit to ensure your pets' acceptance, the staff monitors. These are things you would never find at your local dog park to ensure your pets' safety and these are things that should matter most. There is no better way for me to ensure Jade is safe, monitored, and still able to have a full day of fun. "

"Brewtus, our Labrador retriever mix, loves attending Dog Paws at Play daily. He looks forward to leaving every morning for his ride to Dog Paws at Play where he enthusiastically approaches their door. He loves each of the staff at Dog Paws and enjoys seeing them every day. The staff is wonderful as they are very attentive and caring to each dog. It is great that Dr. Hechko visits each morning to over see the facility. We are so appreciative to have a facility like Dog Paws where the dogs are able to socialize safely with one another and have fun while their owners know they are cared for by such responsible and pleasant staff.
Brewtus enjoys every minute of his time at day care with his furry friends and dedicated staff. Thank you for providing a non-cage facility where the dogs feel welcome and owners feel comfortable leaving their furry friends. "

"When I was just a little pup - from the time I was 5 weeks old - my mommy and daddy would try to spend as much time with me as possible after their work, trying very hard to wear me out from all of my extra energy. I felt so badly, because they were really tired and just wanted a calm, cuddly pup to enjoy the evening with, but, I couldn't help it. I had been lying around all day waiting fo them for several hours and I just wanted to frolic and jump and run and play really hard. They spent their evening trying to control me, and a lot of the time I had to spend my evenings tied in the kitchen because I just did too much damage around the house using up all this extra energy.

Well, when I turned about 5 months old, mommy and daddy got this really great idea. They sent me to Dog Paws At Play, a doggy daycare. Oh Boy! Was I ever happy! Instead of being by myself alone every day, I had a ton of things to do! I had all kinds of stuff to play on, beds to lay on, some great people I grew to love very quickly, and a whole bunch of doggy playmates! I learned to be sociable and how to handle myself in different situations. I also learned how to play gently with little dogs, how to be tolerant to those who needed it, and how to have fun and not shy away from the bigger ones!

Now my mommy and daddy are much happier, too! When they pick me up, after work, I'm all played out and they have that calm, cuddly, enjoyable pet that they had hoped for when they picked me out - over 2 years ago. That's right....I've been attending Dog Paws At Play for 2 years now. I am much more happy and satisfied. I get plenty of exercise and get all my excess energy out. My mommy and daddy have so much more fun with me. And, everyone says I've turned out to be a really nice 'young man'......and Dog Paws At Play helped a whole lot! We really are a great, loving family....my at-home family and my doggie daycare family!"

With All My Rrrruuffff!
