Dog Days Dubuque

Dog Days Dubuque is a daycare, training, and enrichment center for dogs at 3135 University Ave in Dubuque, Iowa. Owners looking for dog daycare in Dubuque will find a structured weekday program here, along with basic obedience and puppy classes. The center describes its mission as providing a safe, enriching place that meets a dog's physical, social, and mental needs.

What does a daycare day include?

The day is built around more than open play. Dogs take part in group activities and daily enrichment, including food enrichment sessions. There is also set nap and rest time, so dogs get a real break between busy stretches of play.

• Indoor play area and outdoor space
• Daily enrichment and food enrichment activities
• Group activities with other dogs
• Nap and rest time during the day
• Basic obedience and puppy classes

Which dogs are a good fit?

The program suits social dogs that genuinely enjoy being around other dogs. Every new dog goes through a Meet & Greet evaluation before joining, and vaccinations are required. That screening step helps keep the group a good match for everyone in it.

How does training fit in?

Beyond daycare, the center teaches basic obedience and puppy classes. Its website frames training as a way to help owners build confidence and a stronger bond with their dogs. For a young or newly adopted dog, classes can pair well with regular social time at daycare.
