What do you get when passionate dog lovers design a “home away from home” for dogs? An over-the-top doggie daycare and boarding service that combines state-of-the art high technology with the warm, personal nurturing only a “real dog person” could provide.

Mother and son Iris and Adam Feingold were so attached to their family pets they never found a boarding facility that met their stringent requirements. This year they finally decided to create their own.

“What makes Dogstown University so different from your typical daycare and boarding business is us,” explains Iris. “We created the ideal environment we knew our own dogs would love. Then we built it large enough to invite lots of other canine friends.”

“If your dog has a weight problem, we’ll provide a personal exercise routine on the treadmill,” says Adam. “Once they learn the art of treadmill walking, they really enjoy it. And I’m at their side every minute.”

Dogs with behavior problems find themselves learning to get along with the group, or they miss out on treats and activities. Behavior modification skills go a long way toward molding more cooperative personalities.

The campus took close to a year to design and build, based on the Feingold’s vision. “Even the most cautious and protective “parents,” who are reluctant to leave their pets anywhere but at home, will feel confident about DTU”, she adds. “We offer unique play group games, all-day activities and in-house training programs - all overseen by our highly capable, canine instructors.”

Mother and son explain that everyone on the DTU faculty is an enthusiastic dog lover and owner, which they say assures that every canine student is treated “like our own.” “That’s something only true dog-people can understand,” says Adam.

The Feingolds say DTU is based on the concept that dogs love to learn as well as play, so every experience on campus is both fun and educational. The instructors interact and play with the “students,” teaching social skills that will please the dogs and their “parents.”

Owners can see all the fun for themselves via the multi-camera 24-hour live streaming doggie cam. “We want you to leave with peace of mind, knowing this will be a fun and positive learning experience for your beloved pet,” adds Iris.

Once a new pet is properly tested and introduced to the others, the fun and games begin. The student, who is always grouped according to size, can enjoy the climate-controlled play areas or lounge pool-side on the custom-built doggie deck. They can test their skills on agility equipment or play a friendly game of flyball. Students also participate in supervised group play on a specially designed astro-turf for pets where ramps, tunnels and bridges create stimulation and athletic challenges.

Pets can also take advantage of an optional, carefully supervised physical education class designed to relieve stress or enhance a weight-loss program.

Scenic hand-painted murals transform the indoor, climate-controlled play rooms into lush and lovely dog-park settings. Flat screen TVs tuned to Animal Planet and soothing music add to the total doggie environment.

The 7500 square feet of indoor and outdoor classrooms are created to maximize stimulation during playtime and peaceful relaxation when it's time for a nap.

Canine daycare guests come away with a daily personal “Report Card” noting activity participation as well as behavior and socializing progress.

Felines are also welcome at DTU, where they enjoy a separate room with spacious cat condos and a large fish tank for viewing stimulation.

Behind-the-scenes technology makes the new facility even more attractive. A state-of-the-art air purification system keeps dog odors at bay while seamless impact resistant floors maximize safety and sanitation.

When asked whether the dogs are ever left alone, the Feingolds answer with a resounding No! “One of us is always there, even sleeping on-site all night,” says Adam. “That means you can sleep at night knowing your pet is getting the best care possible every day they are our guests.”

Reasonable full and half-day rates and special packages for frequent visits (some dogs spend three or four days a week in daycare while their owners are at work) make DTU affordable for short or long-term visits by day or over night.

Dogstown University serves all of South Florida and is located on South Powerline Road close to the Sample Road exit on the Turnpike in Deerfield Beach . Both Iris and Adam welcome visits to check out the facilities. For more information, visit www.dogstownuniversity.com or call 954 422-5764.
