Dog Playgrounds

Minnesota has a great idea--the Animal Humane Society offers five locations of dog playgroups. There are different playgroups available for your dog depending on the size and age of your dog.

You can join Small Dog Playgroup which is for dogs 20 pounds or less. The small dog playgroup has a mixed age group of dogs.

You may have your dog join Puppy Playgroup if your puppy is under 5 months old.

Featherweight Playgroup is a mixed-age group for dogs under 10 lbs. At times, dogs that are larger and shy may come to this group as well.

With so many folks getting small lapdogs, Micro Playgroup is available to dogs that are a mixed age group and under 7 lbs.

Have fun in Teen Puppy Playgroup if your dog is an adolescent and at the age of 5 to 12 months. Your dog should play well with other dogs. This class gets quite boisterous with the nature of adolescent play, therefore toy breeds do not attend this group. Toy breeds are very welcome at the small dog playgroups.

Looking for something to do on a Friday night? Yappy Hour is a mixed-age, all size group that is open some Friday evenings in the Auditorium at Golden Valley. The group is quite wild so there is an area for small dogs as well as dogs that may need a break.

“Cost: $10 for the general public; $7 for current students. Playgroup passes can be purchased in blocks of 6 for $50 for non-students/$35 for students.”

Your dogs must have his or her vaccinations up-to-date to join the above playgroups.

If you do not live in MN, check your local area to see if it offers one or more of these exciting playgroups for your dog!

  1. This is a great idea! I'm going to ask my wealthy uncle if he will open one of these on his property! He has 150 acres--he could give up some of it.
