No wonder dogs love Doggy Playcare at Leashes and Leads!

We understand that not all playcare is a one size fits all! We have created plenty of options to find what best suits each dog (and human)!

Standard Playcare

$36 10 day prepaid package $324

If your days will vary each week, you are welcome to attend all day playcare at the standard rate. At playcare, your pup will enjoy playtime with friends throughout the day. Dogs determine their playtime, nap times and socialization patterns while our team monitors, encourages safe behaviors, and discourages unhealthy ones. These reservations need to be made in advance and are first come first serve. We offer a 10 day package with a 10% discount for our standard playcare.

We do sometimes have toys in our playcare groups, so please let us know if your dog has any possessive or resource guarding issues

Structured Playcare

$41

All day playcare is not the right fit for every dog. Some dogs may need help self regulating and need breaks in between playtimes. This is why we have created our Structured Playcare option! Structured playcare is smaller groups and includes plenty of breaks, as well as enrichment activities to tire them out mentally. Structured playcare is only available Monday—Thursday at this time.

What vaccinations are required and do I need to spay/neauter my dog?

All pets visiting Leashes & Leads must provide proof of the following vaccinations: DHLPP (Distemper Combo), Rabies, and Bordetella (recommended every 6 months). While not required, we highly recommend that your dog receive a yearly influenza shot. To ensure a smooth reservation process, please provide your pet’s vaccination records before making your first reservation.

You can send your vaccination records to us via the following methods:

Email: guestservices@leashesandleads.com
Text: (855) 711-2613
Fax: (507) 424-1695

At Leashes & Leads, we prioritize the happiness and health of your dogs during their visits. To ensure this, we have a policy of keeping our intact (un-neutered) male guests who are 9 months and older separate from our other guests during playtime. Rest assured, they will still have the opportunity to enjoy playtime in our private yards, but they will not be part of the regular play groups.

Is there anything I need to do before my first Playcare day?

For the safety of all our Playcare dogs, a temperament test is mandatory for ALL first-time dogs joining Playcare. Additionally, please ensure that you have a profile with updated immunizations.

A temperament test involves one of our staff members taking your K-9 to interact with an employee dog to assess their behavior around other dogs and in the absence of their owner. Please call (507) 282-2710 to confirm the availability of a staff dog for the test.

If your dog has already passed the test, simply call us at 507-282-2710 to make reservations!

How do I book excursions?

When dropping off for the day ask us to add on any additional services!

What is the Barky Bus?

Barky Bus is a great way to have your pup picked up or dropped off so you can get them the socialization they need without disrupting your day. 

$15 Standard

$12 Members

The Barky Bus leaves to pick up the dogs around 6:30 A.M. from your house and picks up the dogs from Playcare to bring them home around 3 P.M.

*Times vary for when they arrive depending on routes for that day and the number of dogs. The price is per trip.

Vaccination Requirements

Please provide proof of the following vaccination records at check-in or have your veterinarian fax the records to us

  • DHLPP (Distemper Combo)
  • Rabies
  • Bordetella (recommended every 6 months) 

We want to keep your dogs happy and healthy during their visits at Leashes & Leads! One way we accomplish this is by keeping our intact (un-neutered) male guests (9 months and older) separate from our other guests during playtime. Don’t worry – they still get to enjoy playtime in our private yards with our staff, but they will not be in play groups.
