Structured play dates$10.0

This extra is available for friendly playful pups and pups that would like another fun-loving dog to play with. It lasts for 15 minutes or 30 minutes during your visit. Other types of playdates can be arranged on a case by case basis. I have to coordinate this extra with you in advance so message me if you are interested. Thanks!


Structured socialization$20.0

I will provide a good dog or 2 for an interactive experience for your dog. If your dog is too rowdy and needs to learn some manners a dog will be selected that will correct bad behavior without going too far. If your dog is frightened of other dogs a non threatening dog will be offered... This extra needs to have advance coordination with me and I will likely want to meet your dog first. Message me if you are interested in a play date.


Training Assistance$15.0

I am available to help you out with your dogs training and offering my advice. This is an extra that needs to be coordinated with me in advance. Message me if you are interested. The training assistance is offered for 20 minutes during your visit. Examples of possible training include basic commands like sit, leash manners or correct barking at you.

    Gyro had a great time! Plenty of space to run, dig and play. Dory was very helpful and gave some great advice!

    Host replied: Thanks Pamela I'm glad you liked the visit!

  • Maddie W., May 31, 2023

    My pups enjoyed their time and the sandpit and toys were a great touch.

  • Kathryn W., May 31, 2023

    My boys loved all the smells and the sand pit! Lots of toys too and places to sit!

  • Michele F., May 26, 2023

    Pepper had a great social gathering today at her sniffspot at Dory's. She has really been improving with her social skills, she has been coming to Dory's for about 3 months, it really shows that in time with exposure with other dogs of different personalities, she has learned boundaries with what other dogs will accept from her, once up in the face, attitude. she loves the sand box and today she was having fun with the ball on the rope. Picture shows " Who's got the ball" game. I enjoy my time talking with Dory while I'm there, always getting important updates with dog behavior. Thanks Dory Michele

    Host replied: Aww, thank you, Michelle. It makes me happy to see Pepper getting along with and having fun with new friends, and the two of you are really developing a great relationship. I'm so glad you hung in there. You may not look like the perfect match because she's so big and you are not, but it's not about that. You are a wonderful pack leader! And Pepper is happy and lucky that you are hers!

  • Mariana A., May 22, 2023

    It was a little confusing for me to get there but my dog had a blast, he loved playing with the sand! Totally recommendable I will come back

    Host replied: Thank you Mariana I'm really glad he liked the sandbox. It's a work in progress to me but the dogs love it just as I had hoped

  • Jamie D., May 14, 2023

    Dory is very knowledgeable about dogs and Xena had a grand time at her place. We’ll definitely be back.

    Host replied: Thank you Jamie I really look forward to you two coming again.

  • Kayla S., May 7, 2023

    Perfect place for our 100 lb German Sheppard/Lab mix to run around and explore. Toys, water and chairs were provided. Plenty of shady spots to take advantage of too. We will be back!

    Host replied: Thank you Kayla! I'm glad you liked it!

  • Laurie V., Apr 13, 2023

    Lovely space for running and fetching. No holes in the fence or gaps, sturdy for a big dog like mine. Dory was very helpful in trying to socialize my dog with other dogs.

    Host replied: Laurie thank you for your kind review. I am looking forward to seeing you and Dahlia again. Come for fun!

  • Michele F., Apr 7, 2023

    We did a buddy day and it was great. Pepper got some great association lessons and learned about boundaries with other dogs, something she desperately needs. Dory is a great help with getting Pepper with socialization.

    Host replied: Michelle, I am so happy to provide you with a place that Pepper can get her yayas out, to train and to provide play mates for her when I can.

  • Betsy O., Feb 22, 2023

    This was a good spot that was conveniently located and enabled us to practice training with zero distractions from other dogs or animals. There were helpful signs to tell us where to park and where to enter as well as water and poop bags. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was because there were two spots in the fence where my pup could stick his nose through, one of which he returned to a few times as well as some debris in areas while great for sniffing just required me to watch a little more closely to make sure he didn’t try and chew on any items. Thank you for allowing us to use your space!

    Host replied: Betsy, I'm glad you enjoyed my sniff spot, and I have now set up discounted memberships if you are interested.

Urban Oasis - Astroturf play and agility space (no muddy paws ever)

Over 4200 square feet of Astroturf play area conveniently located adjacent to the BWI airport (less than a 5 min Uber ride away). The yard is surrounded by wooden privacy fencing so your pups can focus on playing! Astroturf provides a soft, plush, clean surface so even wet dogs don’t get dirty during their stay (perfect if you’re waiting on a flight or traveling with your pup). Covered sitting area to keep guests shaded. Space is equipped with agility equipment including an a-frame, adjustable jump, tunnel, agility stakes, and back tie. The space also has various toys on the ground, kiddie pools/dog activated water fountain/hose in the summer to keep dogs cool . If coordinated in advance (and with owner supervision) you can even use the slat mill for an extra physical challenge. If you’re bringing a young puppy out please message us directly so we can put out the ball pit. The space is equipped to be used in the dark and has many solar motion activated lights along the fence, solar lights on the pergola, and a lit walkway leading up to the gate. The best travel companion is a happy/tired pet. As the weather gets nicer you may see some neighbors on your way in and may hear them while in the yard. You may also hear the normal neighborhood noises and the occasional cluck of a chicken. No dogs live in the yards adjacent to the fence so you rarely hear barking; however, we occasionally take in reactive board and trains. In the extremely rare case one of our houseguests barks and disturbs your peace during the visit let us know and we will make it right. On most hot days the turf gets warm in direct sunlight. Typically we will spray it down between guests if we are home. However, please check the turf intermittently and spray down as desired. The turf has an infill that causes significant evaporative cooling once its sprayed down. The small red cooler typically has water for the humans! Please help yourselves! Please no smoking 🚭 anywhere on the property. Cigarettes could damage our turf (extremely expensive to fix) and poison dogs. Sometimes organic debris blows off trees and into the yard. We regularly clean up leaves etc when it’s nice, but we can’t when it’s raining. If wet leaves/maple seeds aren’t your thing- no problem! We’d love to host you when the weather dries up🙂
