At River Paws we have a different take on the doggy daycare experience. We provide an open environment that allows dogs to interact with each other. We also know that dogs sometimes just need to run or swim. We take our guests to the nearby dog park and allow them to get their energy out in a positive manner. Our staff is constantly working with the dogs to provide positive interactions throughout the day.
We also take the time to provide puzzle toys, positive behavioral reinforcement, and agility games to the dogs. As we are dog lovers ourselves, we know how much your puppy means to you and we want each of our guests to have a happy and healthy experience. Training classes could help your relationship with your dog. These classes train both the human and dog together.
Our Play, Stay, and Train program makes training a fun and rewarding experience. Our emphasis is on meeting your dogs' innate needs first, such as play and exercise, along with learning new tricks, behaviors, and manners.

Dog Grooming

Need dog grooming?
Our four-legged friends are amazing, but sometimes they need a little help taking care of themselves.
We know washing your dog can be an ordeal, but that is why we make it easy for you and your dog with our dog wash.
You can stop on in without an appointment and use our dog wash, shampoo/conditioner, and air dryer without having to worry about the mess.
We will clean up after you!
Even better, we can wash your dog while you wait.
If they don't enjoy getting nail trims or their ears cleaned, but we are there to help.

Puppy-Play
Report
Our Puppy Play Days are an excellent way for your puppy to begin socialization.
During these days, we set aside a room for just our staff and puppies to learn and play together.
This is just like a 'normal' daycare day, but for puppies who are just learning the ropes.
They get exposure to basic training commands, a feel for the River Paws life, and learn how to play nice with other puppies.
