The Metro Dogs Difference
Metro Dogs is the only Twin Cities daycare and overnight care facility utilizing the most current dog behavior science to provide your dog with a safe and fulfilling experience. Providing peace of mind that you can drop off a dog for daycare full of energy and go home with a happy, tired pup. Our training and socialization program emphasizes positive reinforcement methodology to give you and your pup a stellar foundation for your future together.
Positive Reinforcement
Metro Dogs uses positive reinforcement methodology, the most humane and effective way to teach dogs how to
know right versus wrong. The best way to lead a pack of pups is with positive, trusting, and fun relationships.
For this type of playgroup management, we utilize treats in playrooms to reward good doggy behavior. By giving your dog an indication that they are behaving appropriately, they are more likely to repeat this behavior. This also builds the bond between teacher and student. Basically, our staff consistently
use the word “YES” to
reinforce commands and
good behavior. We actively
train your pup during play,
so your dog may come home
with a new trick or two.
The MD Advantage
We provide multiple separate play areas for differing sizes and playstyles. We also have a separate puppy pre-k for the young ‘uns.
Our building is climate controlled, cool in the summer, and warm in the winter! The enclosed outdoor potty yard allows for daily bathroom breaks on a sanitized, artificial grass yard. Cleaning occurs around the clock with top-quality, dog-safe cleaning products.
Our convenient North Loop location is close to the freeways. There is an
on-site parking lot for
quick drop-off and
pick-up. Whether you’re
working downtown,
visiting a North Loop
brewpub, or going to
a Twin’s day game, we’re
here for you right nearby.
Extensive Staff Training
Our staff is trained using a mixture of classroom resources and on the floor training with senior staff members and management. The tried and true staff training process is rigorous, thorough, and designed by a professional dog trainer. Plus, learning is never ending! We’re always working on continuing education for everyone!
Many of our team come from backgrounds of dog training, veterinary clinics, associate and bachelor’s degrees in animal-related fields, rescue work, and of
course, absolute LOVE of
all things DOG.
