Our fetching distance ranges from 20 feet for little dogs to 150 feet for strong, athletic dogs. A special bungee-fetch-leash is connected to each dog’s harness. Our pals enjoy watching this fetching and can’t wait until it’s their turn.

If your dog is not interested in fetching, we will play chase with him / her in a 20 foot section of the park grass. We also have personal badminton-birdie play. This is very popular with the little dogs. All dogs love to exercise while playing !
