The Metro Dogs Difference
Metro Dogs is proud to be the Minneapolis North Loop’s trusted dog care facility. Our highly educated and certified team of professionals supervise your pup in doggy daycare and enrichment daycare, snuggle with them during overnight boarding and provide effective dog training options.
Additionally, your pup can partake in enrichment activities, confidence building games, group training sessions, grooming and more! Whether your dog joins only one program or dabbles in a variety of our diverse services, you are sure to find your pup’s physical and mental wellbeing are top priorities for us here at Metro Dogs.
Metro Dogs daycare in Minneapolis has truly been a game-changer for us and our sweet girl. The puppy specific care and training services they offer have been instrumental in Georgie’s development. The trainers are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly patient, which has made a world of difference in Georgie’s learning journey.
What’s more, the facility itself is clean, safe, and a haven for play, exercise, and socialization. The regular updates (adorable report cards) and photos they provide are icing on the cake. We’re so grateful to the Metro Dogs team for their dedication and the positive impact they’ve had on our puppy’s life. They go above and beyond to ensure every dog feels loved and cared for.
Thank you so much for being there for Georgie and for providing a place where dogs can thrive and have a blast. We couldn’t be happier with our choice! ~Sarah Smith, Georgie’s mom ♥️
More than just daycare!
Going to daycare isn’t just about your pup coming home tired. It’s about knowing they played with doggy safe toys, went outdoors for some sunshine and fresh air, wrestled with a small group of friends, and trained with daycare teachers for a balance of physical AND mental activity.
When you leave your beloved companion for overnight care, you’ll receive daily photo and text updates, so you know they are living the life of luxury while you’re away. When it’s time to head home, you want your pup to hop into the car with a blissful smile on their face, thanking you for their fun time at Metro Dogs.
There’s nowhere else in the Twin Cities I can go on vacation knowing my dogs are well cared for and appreciated during their overnight care. Metro Dogs is a peace of mind for me as well as my dogs’ favorite home away from home. Every detail is thought through including matching dogs play style, not just size, and daily pupdates when I’m missing them most. Cameras in the play rooms let me check in throughout their stay making me feel better about their boarding while I’m away. I could not recommend Metro Dogs more to anyone looking for a place for their four legged member of the family to stay. ~ Brett B, Alfie and Arrow’s paw-rent

Positive Reinforcement
Metro Dogs uses positive reinforcement methodology, the most humane and effective way to teach dogs how to
know right versus wrong. The best way to lead a pack of pups is with positive, trusting, and fun relationships.
For this type of playgroup management, we utilize treats in playrooms to reward good doggy behavior. By giving your dog an indication that they are behaving appropriately, they are more likely to repeat this behavior. This also builds the bond between teacher and student. Basically, our staff consistently
use the word “YES” to
reinforce commands and
good behavior. We actively
train your pup during play,
so your dog may come home
with a new trick or two.
The MD Advantage
We provide multiple separate play areas for differing sizes and playstyles. We also have a separate puppy area for the young ‘uns.
Our building is climate controlled, cool in the summer, and warm in the winter! The enclosed outdoor potty yard allows for daily bathroom breaks on a sanitized, artificial grass yard. Cleaning occurs around the clock with top-quality, dog-safe cleaning products.
Our convenient North Loop location is close to the freeways. There is an
on-site parking lot for
quick drop-off and
pick-up. Whether you’re
working downtown,
visiting a North Loop
brewpub, or going to
a Twin’s day game, we’re
here for you right nearby.
Extensive Staff Training
Our staff is extensively trained to provide you with peace of mind that your dog is in good hands. We utilize classroom videos from dog professionals The Dog Gurus and Fear Free Pets, a thorough training manual written by a Certified Dog trainer, and hands on training from senior staff members and management teams. Plus the training never ends, we love continuing education!
Many of our team come from backgrounds of dog training, veterinary care, associate and bachelor’s degrees in animal-related fields, and rescue work.
Plus, we all LOVE DOGS!!
