Such a Colorado experience for your dog! Great staff and something for every pet, be prepared for a post-play coma-like nap after a great, happy playtime.

I came here for the small dog meetup group and there were so many dogs on the small hill lot, my dog didn't know which one to sniff first. It's more exploratory because for running you're better off at a dog park. Staff was very friendly. Easy check in. Parking in the street or in their small lot. The lot was too small for the amount of people, it would be better if they opened up more space. It was all dirt and mud so don't wash your dog coming here as he will be in need of a bath after. And prepare your car for that too!

As a former employee of earthdog I would not recommend this business. While the dog handlers are wonderful and loving, Trent and Bonnie as well as other managers do not care about their employees or the facility. They do not pay fair wages, and do not maintain a safe environment for the dogs. There is glass in the yard due to it being a former junkyard, the dog to human ratio in the yard does not meet PACFA standards, they violate OSHA regulations, and they are rarely there leaving employees without enough training to run the business. While the dog handlers themselves are great, know that management does not take care of their employees or the facility.

The staff here is so amazing. Our puppy is always thrilled when we drop her off, and she comes home happy and sleepy!
