FirstBarkThis place is amazing. My pup Trixie goes to play school 2x per week. They help her work on agility and socialization. Trixie comes home happy and tired. We have also used their training services when Trixie was a puppy. Michael is FABULOUS with the dogs. It is a lovely family business. The employees really love dogs. It’s Trixie’s happy place when away from home

I’m so glad I started bringing my dog here. His confidence (and mine) around other dogs has significantly increased and Maddy always goes above and beyond to give him special attention to ensure his success at play school. The staff are all so kind to my boy and it means the world to me.
We have been bringing our dog there for a year. They are wonderful, would highly recommend
Love this place. Staff is great and my doggie is better for the time spent at play school there.
My dog has never been happier than when he spends time with the YDG gang. Can't recommend them enough.
