Every Day Is Built Around 3 Essentials

Free Socialization Time
Dogs socialize with familiar, like-minded playmates in carefully matched playgroups, guided by Certified Canine Coaches. Consistent groups build comfort and predictability in social interactions.

Structured Enrichment & Work Time
Coach-led activities develop engagement, listening skills, impulse control, and problem-solving — helping dogs build calm, predictable behavior.

Rest & Nap Time
Intentional downtime prevents overstimulation and supports emotional regulation. Predictable rest helps dogs transition calmly throughout the day.

This balance of socialization, enrichment, and rest is what separates enrichment-based daycare from dog sitting.

A STATE-OF-THE-ART DOG FACILITY

Our purpose-built facility, Certified Canine Coaches, and live webcams are designed to support structured routines, enrichment, and predictable daily experiences for every dog in our care.

• Consistency-focused daycare philosophy that supports familiar playgroups and predictable routines

• Certified Canine Coaches trained in behavior, body language, and positive reinforcement

• Structured playrooms separated by size and play style to promote safe, predictable socialization

• Live webcams so families can observe engagement, enrichment, rest, and routine throughout the day

• Purpose-built facility featuring rubberized flooring, advanced HVAC, and rigorous pet-safe cleaning

Our facility has been specifically designed with your pup’s needs in mind. This is why all of our playrooms have rubberized flooring, which is gentler on your dog’s joints and paws than concrete floors and allows your dog to play comfortably all day. Our rooms have individual HVAC air conditioning units that circulate fresh air and have a UV filter to disinfect the playroom air and eliminate any airborne bacteria or illness, providing your dog with the safest air to breathe.  In addition, each playroom always has its own Certified Canine Coach that’s been trained in dog behavior and engages with your dog throughout the day.

A TEAM YOU CAN TRUST

Not only do each of our team members love dogs, they have also gone through extensive training to develop their skills as a certified Canine Coach. Our team completes a rigorous training, designed by a canine behaviorist, on dog body language and behavior. Their training includes hours of computer-based, classroom style training before graduating to playroom training under the watchful eye of a canine coach. Only once they have mastered these skills and have gained experience in dealing with a variety of dogs can they manage a playroom alone.

Dogtopia of South Chandler has earned certification status as a Heroes for Healthy Pets^TM facility. The Heroes for Healthy Pets^TM Certification Program in Infectious Disease Management provides training for preventative care, including strategic vaccination, and cleaning and disinfection protocols to help maintain disease-free facilities and keep pets healthy.
