Arie's Dogland

Arie's Dogland is a dog daycare and training facility at 6801 Washington St NE in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It runs supervised indoor playgroups for small, medium, and large dogs, and it also handles grooming, training, and puppy classes. Dogs spend the day inside rather than in outdoor runs.

What a day looks like

Playgroups are all-indoor and staffed the whole time dogs are together. The floors are recycled rubber, chosen for traction and for keeping the surfaces clean. Potty patches and play structures give dogs somewhere to go and something to climb on. Midday, every dog takes a required nap, usually with a stuffed Kong.

What sets it apart

Puppies get real attention here. Alongside daily play, the facility offers socialization classes and a Puppy Jump-Start Package for owners starting from scratch. Before a dog joins a group, there is a free introductory visit and a behavior assessment, which gives staff a read on how the dog handles other dogs and gives owners a look at the room. Vaccinations are required for every dog.
