Dogtopia - doggie daycare in Tysons Corner (Arlington, Manassas: daycares, hotel)

[Hotspur47]

Hi there, does anyone have experience with this place? Seems a bit on the expensive side but might be worth it to take my little guy to once a week for socializing...thanks for your help! I am moving in June to Tysons Corner but haven't even visited the state of VA yet...nothing like diving in head first

Also, does anyone know of the closest dog park to TC?

I haven't used the Dogtopia in Tysons, but I take my dog to the one in Manassas occasionally for some socialization. The price is comparable to other doggie daycares in NoVa, and it's clean and well-run (at least the one in Manassas is). They have a webcam so you can watch your dog all day (which I end up doing, and consequently end up getting nothing done at home!). From what I've seen on the webcam, there is always someone in the room with the dogs and they have them separated by size/energy levels. Most important, my dog LOVES to go there, drags me through the front door when we get there, and is utterly exhausted when we get home (and he's a young, high-energy golden, so that's saying a lot!)

Oh...and they do have discounts for multi-day passes

I looked into them for boarding my pup for 1 night. HA, the cost to board for 1 night was more than my hotel room! Needless to say, I went elsewhere for less than half the price, and she turned out just fine.

Shirlington Park in Arlington, GREAT dog park.
