About Playful Pups Retreat

Services

Playful Pups Retreat is a premium pet-care facility offering boarding, daycare, grooming and bathing alongside a range of training programs: puppy, group, day training, stay & train, and specialty options. Day training is delivered through its structured "A to Z Day Training Program."

Approach

The facility emphasizes "personalized training solutions that build confidence," including "Pawsitive Experiences" designed for shy or nervous pups. Expert trainers lead the structured day-training program.

Good to know

Operating since 2010 across two locations (a 19-acre wooded resort and a Hershey Rd. daycare/training/grooming site), Playful Pups is PACCC-certified and an IBPSA member. Training is one part of a full-service operation rather than the sole focus; contact them for program details and pricing.
