Cage-Free Doggie Daycare, and Boarding in Decatur, TX

Many doggie daycares offer group play but Puppy Playground is more than that.  We are a one-of-a-kind dog daycare and boarding experience in Decatur, TX that will leave your dog feeling exhausted and happy.  Knowing your furry family member is safe and having a blast will allow you to work and play or vacation guilt free. 

Mission

Our mission is to create a crate free playground and guest accommodations that feel like home

Playcare

Our facility in Decatur, TX offers 100% cage free daycare every weekday and on the weekends for our house guests only. We have over 2 acres of playground fun as well as an indoor climate controlled playhouse for our hot or rainy Texas days. Our members are never in cages and they get to play together all day with long breaks and naps as needed. We have a large climate controlled indoor playground for when heat breaks are needed or if there is the occasional cold day in Texas.

Dog Boarding Staycations

Our members stay cage-free in the house as guests of Nana and Grandpa Kapica. Nana and Grandpa LOVE dogs and spoil all guests with extra snuggles and treats while they stay overnight.  Guests sleep in guest rooms or have a living room sleep over but are never put in a cage (unless you bring one for guests who prefer this at home).

We rarely board our 3 labs because they are such a huge part of our family and it’s hard to feel comfortable leaving them. When we went for the temperament test I knew right away how lucky we were to have found Suzanne and crew. We had a few play dates before leaving them for a week which made us feel even better. They were happy to be there and we were able to enjoy our vacation without having to worry about them. I highly recommend My Puppy Playground!

I met with Judy, G Pops and Suzanne. Very nice people. Took my dog there for a quick trial run and they loved Bentley! They treated him like their own! I’m so happy I found a place that will care for him when I need them. Bentley was like he was at home. Settled down quickly and Judy sent pics and videos to ease my mind. Thank you!

Thank you so much for sharing your kindness. Bentley is going to be spoiled, for sure.

Outstanding family run business. They take great care of our two dogs whenever we leave town. Tons of space to run, a swimming pool, and couches to sleep on… also clean and with attentive staff. A+!

I’ve used this place quite a few times. The first few times, no issues. After this last time, I won’t go back! Yes, they are very expensive. However, it’s worth it to have great care. I have 2 dogs, both are collies, one was fine after the pick up, the male is not.
1st, he had a perfectly round patch of hair missing from the side of his face. I can’t prove what it was…. my guess is some kinda hot shot burn? That’s my guess, as the vet said its what it looks like to have it held on the same spot. At times he’ll now cower when he sees my husband and he definitely acts differently. We won’t go back.
When I asked the owner about the perfect round burn spot on the side of his face, she lied and accused me of saying this, “because they want to use a kennel for them,”. I thought it was a cage free place? I guess thats ONLY if they have no dogs that bark and act like…. dogs!? 🙄 I was told I had to bring kennels if we came back. Lol! Then she said it’s from allergies and it was a scratch. Ummm, no ma’am!!
Over priced & the owner lied, twice!!

We now found a place that won’t use weapons, or hot shots, and they can use a kennel at night. It’s just hard to trust ppl after something like this.

We are very sad to think you would accuse us of something several months without even asking us about it and only say such things after I asked you to follow the rules. We are cage free unless dogs generally need one for safety only to sleep. Most do not need this, however, your did. The main reason your dogs need a crate is because you do not bring them to play socially at least every month or so to help them be safe in a family house boarding situation. We would never use a weapon and go to great lengths to help pups be able to stay in this situation. You have bucked against the rule every time and when I finally enforce the rules, you were upset. I only mentioned the allergy because your vet likely said it was a hot spot. This is not from a weapon. I appreciate that this is not a good fit for your pups or you and wish you would have brought up any concerns to us months ago. I liked your dogs but we must adhere to certain standards for safety. All the best to you all.

It was worth the few extra miles to take my older dogs here. Very caring environment. They didn’t even seem like they were ready to leave when I picked them up 😊

My 4 boys love going to Puppy Playground soo much! Once we turn onto Co Rd 1110 they know exactly where they’re going and they get so excited! Ever since I’ve been taking them I’ve noticed a HUGE difference (good difference) in their behavior and also their interactions with other dogs! If I could give Puppy Playground 500 stars I definitely would!

Aww. Thanks. We love the mini pack. They add so much fun to the playground. ❤️

My dog loves going to Puppy Playground. How I judge a great day camp/boarding facility is by my dogs reaction to going there. She gets so excited when she knows that is where she gets to go. I’ve used them for both day camp and boarding. It’s a great environment in that they do not have to be kenneled. Much more comfortable for them when Mom and Dad are away. You will also love the owners and staff. Great to work with and people who truly care about your dogs. (Picture after her 1st day. Came home and went to sleep.)

I have been taking my dog to Puppy Playground. for several weeks. All I have to do is say the words “Puppy Playground “ and she goes to the garage door excited to get in the car.

I love how flexible they are, how the dogs are split up by size and temperament, and that they have a lot of activities for them. I’m glad we have someplace for our puppy to socialize. I highly recommend it!

Photos are before and after!

I trust puppy playground with my 3 fur children 150%. My aussies get to live in the house on overnights and sleep on the sofa and sleep with thier pack. Free to play in the swimming pool and run amok with other dogs. Awesome socialization and they get spoiled rotten. I thank goodness every time I book with them and love how close they are. My 3 girls drag us to the front door. That tells me everything 😍

I absolutely adore this place! I am so glad that it’s only 10 minutes from my home and it’s a home away from home for my dog twice a week. She’s excited when we go see “Aunt Judy” because she knows she’s gonna have a full day of play and fun with her puppy friends. It makes my heart happy to know that she’s not home alone all day either while I’m at work. I highly recommend Puppy Playground for daycare or boarding!
