“The 10 Best Places To
Board Your Dog In NYC”

Award-Winning Dog Boarding
DOGMA was on NBC’s TODAY show! An overnight stay at DOGMA is cage free. Pups cuddle with each other, even with their human pack leader.
Additional activities are encouraged throughout the stay. Pups love to move from activity to down time and repeat.
DOGMA was also featured on the first season of Netflix’s Empire Bling New York. Our group environment is conducive to each pup’s playfulness and sense of adventure.
DOGMA believes that each dog has their own character and tempo. We work with you to choose your pup’s preference in enrichment and activities.

2 Hour Power Walk (Mon & Thur, 11am-1PM)
This invigorating walk along the river is DOGMA’s signature power walk. No matter the breed, pups love getting into the zone, while walking together. Our walking staff bring treats and water along to make sure the pups are hydrated. This walk takes place Mondays and Thursdays from 10am to 12pm.
We observed that the first 15 minutes of walking the pups like to engage in a sniff & walk to stimulate their olfactory senses. They usually also do their business then. After that it is off to the races with a scenic, invigorating walk along the river. At the turnaround point the dogs get a break with water and treats.
You can bring your pup for the walk only, or request to have your pup join when they are here for daycare/boarding.

Treadmill workout
Read all information regarding the Treadmill:
All dogs get walked. But some dogs need to run. This service offers your pup the opportunity to go on a full out run for as long as they want.
Our dedicated staffer will gently introduce your pup to the treadmill. This is a one on one session without any other dogs. The treadmill is non-motorized and only moves when your dog moves.
DOGMA started this service because we observed that active dogs require more activity than walks and play with other dogs. Just like humans, dogs that run have a more settled mind which in turn makes their day a richer experience.
Is it safe?
The treadmill non-motorized and powered by the dog only. When the dog starts walking / running the belt starts moving. There are no electronic motors part of the treadmill. If the dog decides to stand still or lay down they are free to do so. The second the dog slows and/or stops the belt stops. There is one attendant dedicated to the treadmill the entire time. The dog will not be left alone as long as they are on the treadmill. Also, the treadmill can be slowed down by hand in case the dog is going too fast too soon. There are also mechanical breaks just like bike breaks that the attendant can use to slow down the belt.
How long should my pup be on it?
A session is thirty minutes long, but we are leaving it up to the dog to give us the signals if they are into it or not. If this the first time, the attendant will use toys or a treat to cajole the dog to move forward.
Can any dog do the treadmill?
Yes. Any dog that walks and/or runs can use the treadmill. Any size dog can do it. From a little frenchie, chihuahua to a German Shepard, Husky or Samoyed. Australian Shepherds and other working dogs love the mill.
When is the Treadmill available?
Every morning your pup can jump on the treadmill. Spots are available from 10am-12pm
