Hairy Hounds Playground provides a holistic approach to caring for your fur-family. Offering a service to suit every family’s needs by personalising the care offered. No pet is too big or too small!!! Chickens, rabbits, dogs, cats, reptiles and many more fur, feathered and scaly friends are a part of our extended family.
At doggy day care, dogs are supervised by our trained, qualified and experienced staff, offering socialisation puppy and doggy day care. Day care includes various types of desensitisation sessions, manners training and polite socialisation with both the human and 4 legged variety of friends!
We provide outstanding care and stimulation for dogs in a safe and fun environment. Our unique doggy day care facility has a spacious indoor area for our golden oldies and pups to visit should they require extra quiet time. The Golden Oldies area has couches, heaters and beds (not to mention a tv for those so inclined) and our puppy desensitisation area has tunnels, paddle pools and home alone toys. Pups spend 1-2 hours in this area each day to ensure we are building up their confidence in a safe and controlled environment. Our HUGE outdoor area’s (the size of a tennis court) are equipped for the weathers. In winter we have heaters and extra under cover beds and in summer our demister fans and wall sprinkler systems are set up, not to mention added paddle pools and ice block parties every day. Our outdoor areas are large enough for the dogs to run and play and each day is different, adding in agility equipment, dress up days and desensitisation days. Recall and name recognition and basic manners are practiced through out every day.
We not only offer exercise and stimulation for the bored or home alone dog but environmental enrichment and training plans.

Loved the food and people great place Jessica BillimoriaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So pleased to have this great service nearby, very kind and caring team who really adore dogs. Samantha DixonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I absolutely love this place! As does my pooch who has been attending daycare there since she was a pup. Cannot recommend it highly enough. My pooch is so excited every time she goes and clearly loves Christie and all the carers. I trust Christie and her wonderful team 100%. They are all caring and knowledgeable and it brings me great comfort to know my pooch is being so well looked after. I am very grateful to the many people at Newport Lakes dog park who raved about this place when I got my pooch. And the praise is well-deserved! Chloe TysonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mazie always loves coming to daycare. Great prices and friendly staff. I trust that mazie is in safe hands when she is goes to daycare. Nic KTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Love the everyday photos that get put up for doggy daycare. Wish we lived closer but its worth the early morning drive to take my 2 dogs for the day. They come back happy and exhausted after a good play day. Elizabeth BrunoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I met Christie and the team today and was taken for a tour by Jayden who really knows his stuff. I can say first-hand just how happy all the dogs (and chickens) at the Hairy Hounds Playground are. 😁 There is a real genuineness that comes across with the pets wellness in mind and the primary focus in bringing out the very best in each and every dog. Happy Birthday to Mirella! 🥳 All the staff are wonderful and joined in to make her day extra special today with a yummy morning tea spread which they kindly invited me to partake. To say I was super impressed is an understatement. Christie has the biggest of benevolent hearts with Hairy Hounds charity and fundraising efforts on a global level and all the team doing an amazing job. 🐶 Heidi PetraniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They do so much for so many ..including ACT dogs in Bali
