Welcome to Just Dogs PlayCare!
We’re so glad you’re here!
Chances are, you popped in because you want the most satisfying, fun, and fulfilling life possible for your dog.
Well, you’ve found the place that can help, right here in Iowa City! (Technically, we’re in Coralville, right on the edge of Tiffin, but close enough!) Enroll your pup in Dog U, our doggie university, and you’ll see what we mean.
Dog U: School of Liberal Arfs & Smarts®
JDPC is a totally different kind of doggie daycare.
Our School of Liberal Arfs & Smarts is about learning and experiencing. It’s a deep dive into canine enrichment. Our daily activities are super stimulating, teaching dogs (and us!) about choice, safety, novelty, scent, scavenging, emotional connection, bonding, and so much more.
—————————————————————————————————————-
As humans, we have many goings-on in our lives – friends to see, work to do, social media to distract us (eye roll). Our dogs have only what we give them. Sometimes that means an outing at the dog park, a walk in the neighborhood, an obedience class, or a trip to the vet. Mostly it means hanging out at home. Sometimes alone. And novelty wears off after a lot of the same ol’ same ol’, giving dogs few new things to explore.
Activities at Dog U address physical, mental, and emotional needs of the dogs in our care, as well as appropriate periods for rest and rejuvenation. Canine enrichment is for anyone who loves dogs and wants to help them thrive. And c’mon, that’s you…right?
