Social Pack Dogs

When my pup jumps out of the car, runs through the door, and wags his little tail ecstatically when he sees the SPD folks, I know it’s a fantastic place. For boarding or daycare they’re my number one pick.

Social Pack Dogs in hands down the best dog boarding/​daycare facility in the Carrollton-​Addison area.
I started taking my dog, Nico, to Social Pack Dogs for daycare 5x/​week about seven months ago after my living situation changed. Nico was five months old when she started going to Social Pack Dogs and had some behavioral… quirks. She was extremely shy with people and other dogs. However, after just a few weeks at SPD, she developed the confidence to play with other dogs and she became more confident with the human handlers. Soon after that, Natasha and the crew at SPD started using Nico as one of their «buffer» dogs– she goes out with new dogs and shy dogs to play with them because she has developed such strong social skills. It’s amazing what a huge difference social play has made in my dog’s behavior!
Before finding Social Pack Dogs, I was paying a dog walker to walk Nico for an hour the same price (for ONE HOUR) that I now pay for all day play and care for Nico. Insanity! The ten day package is totally worth it if you know that you’re going to need to take your dog in frequently. It’s $ 180 for ten days 7am-​7pm. You don’t have to use the days all at once – and they don’t expire!
The best part of all this is, Nico comes home just as tired as I am at the end of the day.
Natasha and the people are Social Pack Dogs are absolutely incredible and they really care about dogs. They help with training and always have a ton of good tips when Nico is doing something that is driving me absolutely crazy (which she happens to be doing right now at the very moment I write this. Destroying a box. She makes moving very difficult.)
The people of Social Pack Dogs are committed, intelligent, compassionate caretakers. If you want to be sure that you’re leaving your dog in good hands, take your dog to Social Pack Dogs!

Fantastic care and love. Hey checked in with me via text to let me know how my baby was doing. Great opportunity to socialize and reinforcement of my training goals. I am going to purchase a pass for frequent drop in day care. I highly recommend. Great people and my dog loves it there too!

Highly recommend sending your fur baby to Social Pack for a day at daycare.
After months of research and at least 15 facility tours, here is why I chose to initially try this particular place:
1. Fresh Air. I get it, large groups of animals put in one place it’s inevitable there will be an odor. But wow, this was the only place that had clean and normal air… great start.
2. New facility, everything is clean!
3. Multiple play rooms and several play rotations. They have both inside and outside play areas. I don’t know about others, but I’ve put in a lot of time teaching my dog to do his“business” outside. So this place was ideal for me, many other places touted having indoor only play and the idea of keeping my dog inside all day in a giant playroom to play and relieve himself inside did not bode well with me.
4. Large stalls for your fur baby to rest in between play sessions. Yes!
Now after taking my fur baby to this daycare a few times, here is why we keep going:
1. Personalized service. This staff is great and very hands-​on. They remember your dog’s name, provide recap of their day, showing they make an effort to care for each dog.
2. Small group play. They group the dogs based on temperament. Plus the size of each group is small enough to ensure each dog is monitored for safety and large enough for a variety of play pals.
3. Cleanliness. I know I’ve mentioned it but trust me it’s not «for show» it’s a well kept facility.
4. Great daycare hours. I work full time, so the later hours help keep the stress level down after a long day and traffic on the tollway.
Best part, the daycare experience has really helped with socializing my fur baby. He no longer hyper/​pushy when meeting new dogs, and has confidence when playing with other dogs.
