More Than A Place To Play

At our Bowie, MD facility, we believe a happy dog is a tired dog, in body and in mind. Every day here is designed to engage your dog physically and mentally, because the more they experience, the happier they are at home.

What Is Brain and Body Enrichment?

Physical exercise is important, but mental stimulation is just as essential to a dog's wellbeing. A dog that's been challenged, engaged, and given something to think about is calmer, happier, and better behaved at home. Shelby has spent years studying dog behavior and body language, and it shows in how every day at Sit. Play. Stay. is designed.

Room to Really Move

With 1.5 acres of secured outdoor space, five separate play yards, agility equipment, and pools, your dog gets the kind of physical activity that a walk around the block just can't provide.

Dogs are grouped by size, age, and play style so every pup feels comfortable and challenged at their own level.

Buffer areas and double locks between yards keep everything safe, and indoor spaces mean the fun continues year-round, regardless of weather.

Activities That Work Their Brain

Physical play is just the beginning. Throughout the day we incorporate activities that tap into your dog's natural instincts and keep their mind sharp. We provide scent exploration, problem-solving activities, and sensory experiences that go beyond the typical daycare day. Because a mentally tired dog is just as happy as a physically tired one.
