Alpha Doggy PlayCare

Passion for dogs and their wellbeing.

At Alpha Doggy PlayCare, dogs of various breeds, sizes, and temperaments are welcomed. The facility is equipped with professional dog trainers who supervise the dogs at all times, ensuring their safety and providing a structured and controlled environment for play and socialisation. The staff at Alpha Doggy PlayCare have extensive experience and training in the daycare environment, making them capable of working with dogs with a variety of behavioural issues.

One of the unique features of Alpha Doggy PlayCare is their use of staff dogs. These dogs, trained to a high level of obedience, play a vital role in the daycare process. They help assess the temperaments of new dogs and assist in the settling-in process before introducing them to other customer dogs. Most of the staff dogs are highly sociable and enjoy playing with their doggy friends every day.

Alpha Doggy PlayCare is not just your average doggy daycare. It is the perfect place for dogs who get bored or need someone to play with, who love company and attention, who can escape from the house or yard, who are destructive or bark excessively, and who are puppies needing controlled and safe socialisation to all types of dogs. Additionally, it is an ideal option for dogs who need to stay quiet after a vet visit, require medication or meals at set times, or require extra training and manners development.

The history of Alpha Doggy PlayCare is rooted in the expertise and passion of its founders, Greg Fontana and George Visentin. They established their own dog training business, Alpha Dog Training, in 1996 and eventually expanded to include other businesses under The Alpha Canine Group, such as Alpha Boarding School for Dogs. With their wealth of experience and dedication to providing relevant and useful services to dog owners, opening Alpha Doggy PlayCare at the new Alpha Canine Centre in Knoxfield was a natural progression.

Alpha Doggy PlayCare in Melbourne is more than just a doggy daycare. With professional dog trainers on site, a diverse range of dogs accepted, and a focus on behaviour training and socialisation, it provides a safe and enriching environment for dogs to play, learn, and develop their manners. Whether a dog needs a playmate, support with behaviour issues, or a controlled socialisation experience, Alpha Doggy PlayCare is the perfect place for them.
