Tricked Out Pup

Tricked Out Pup runs dog daycare in Boston for small and medium dogs, pairing supervised play with everyday training. The facility is at 83 Pembroke St in the South End, and it takes up to 25 dogs, which keeps groups small. Owners in Back Bay and Fenway are within reach as well.

What a day there looks like

The program is structured rather than open-run. Dogs head out for park play sessions, work on manners in etiquette classes, and settle into a nap time with soothing music before the day picks back up again. Training runs through the routine instead of sitting off to the side as an extra.

Who works with the dogs

The training background behind the program includes a canine behavior and training certification from Mount Ida College, membership in the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, and certification in CPR for animals. For an owner whose dog needs manners work as much as exercise, that combination is worth weighing.

Practical details

The 25-dog cap is the first thing to plan around, since space is limited. Accepted sizes are small and medium, so large breeds are not a fit. New clients can start with a free consultation, which is a straightforward way to see whether the structured format suits a particular dog.
