Spring Break Activities at Dogtopia
Who says spring break is only for students? With Dogtopia’s boarding services, dogs can experience a staycation filled with play, connection, and enrichment in a safe, supervised environment. While families head out of town or take time to recharge at home, pups can spend their own version of spring break socializing with friends and staying active as they enjoy structured fun designed just for them.
If you are traveling this season or simply need reliable care for your dog for a few days, an overnight stay at Dogtopia can provide your pup with a positive routine and professional care. Here are the types of activities your pup can experience during spring break at Dogtopia!
SOCIAL TIME WITH FRIENDS
During an overnight stay, pups will spend their days with our daycare pups in our open-play, off-leash playrooms, grouped with like-minded dogs who match their size, temperament, and play style. This social time is great for their confidence and lets them form bonds to make healthy friendships. Plus, our expertly trained Canine Coaches are there to supervise and interact with pups, so everyone has a tail-wagging good (and safe) time.

Whether it’s running around their playroom, chasing flavored dog-safe bubbles during our occasional bubble parties, or bonding as they make their rounds around the room, socializing is a must-do activity during spring break.
BRAIN GAMES
There’s no room for boredom on spring break! Our Coaches, who are trained in doggie body language and behavior, are pros at helping pups strengthen their problem-solving skills through interactive activities and basic training games that keep their minds active and strong. From name recall and door control games to treat puzzles and snuffle mats that many of our facilities offer, our brain games add to the fun dogs get up to in a day.
An enriching environment can help support cognitive development in dogs and provide a healthy outlet for them to expend their energy, while encouraging focus and positive behaviors. Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise for a pup’s well-being, and these thoughtfully planned activities at Dogtopia combine both, which help pups drift off to sleep by the time evening rolls around.
AGILITY-FOCUSED EXERCISES
Our spacious playrooms are designed to encourage movement and exploration. We have a variety of play equipment, like ramps, stairs, and secure platforms, that dogs can climb and step up on throughout the day, creating an obstacle-course-like feel that keeps their minds working and their bodies moving.
Our agility-inspired games add variety and novelty to the environment while supporting coordination and confidence. Guided by our Coaches, these activities remain structured and positive, giving pups an outlet to tap into their physical and mental strength. As dogs move through our space, they engage different muscle groups and learn to navigate their surroundings in a safe, supervised setting.

A TRIP TO THE DOG SPA
In true staycation fashion, a trip to our doggy spa is a well-deserved, pampered-filled activity that can help pups unwind. We provide baths, brush-outs, ear cleaning, toothbrushing, nail trims, and more that help dogs maintain a proper hygiene routine, so they feel (and look) their best.

PHOTOSHOOTS AND TREAT DAYS
Many of our facilities love to include occasional themed photoshoots and treat days in their daycare schedule. Our photoshoots include backdrops and props that make for the cutest pictures, while our treat days are sure to get five out of five paws Contact the team at your nearest Dogtopia to find out what they have planned for spring break.
A DOGGY SLEEPOVER AT DOGTOPIA DURING SPRING BREAK
An overnight stay at Dogtopia is like a VIP sleepover for pups to enjoy with their friends. Not only will they have fun at daycare during the day, but as the day winds down, pups will too as they eat dinner and eventually sleep in their home-style crate located in the same playroom they just spent the day in alongside their furry friends. This approach to boarding helps create familiarity and safety.
