Playful Paws
Doggie Daycare
Dogs often thrive with social interactions with other furry friends. Through play and companionship, your dog (no matter its age) learns how to behave and interact appropriately with other dogs.
At our dog daycare in Bairnsdale, we provide a lively and engaging environment to help your dog become a happy and social canine. Each dog that visits our daycare is carefully supervised by our friendly and affectionate team members, ensuring a fun and stimulating experience every day.
Our daycare is not just a daycare. Puppy Kinder focuses on training skills to kickstart your dog training journey.
Enrolling your dog in doggie daycare
Dogs of all ages are welcome at Playful Paws. We adjust and sort our groups into their ages and abilities to ensure your dog is with friends that suit them.
Puppies can start attending our dog daycare from 14 weeks of age following their final vaccination.

What your dog learns at doggie daycare
At Playful Paws, we believe socialising with other dogs in a controlled environment sets the foundation for a happy and well-behaved dog.
Our friendly and supportive team will help bring out the best in your best friend, working with your dog on lead manners, greeting people, as well as waiting at gates and doorways.
Each of our four-legged guests has an individual training session during their day - so if there is anything you would like us to focus on for your dog, please let us know.
What a day at Playful Paws dog daycare looks like
We kick off each class by welcoming every dog into the environment and helping them greet their new friends.
To ensure that your dog, no matter their age, is both physically and mentally stimulated, we incorporate playtime and rest between each session.
