Dogs Playing for Life

Dogs Playing for Life!™ is a program Mackenzie’s uses to help establish safe multiple dog play groups.

Rather than keeping dogs isolated from one another, play groups allow dogs to interact and bond with other dogs. Since dogs are accustomed to living in groups, this social time with other dogs can minimize behavioral deterioration, speed up behavior modification, and create more peaceful kennels by facilitating a more natural situation.

In addition to exercise and social interactions, the many benefits of daily play groups include determining social skills, supports physical and mental health, better behavior in and out of their runs, training opportunities, lowers isolation and stress and gives staff the knowledge on individual personalities. All which helps support our primary goal, finding forever homes. Implementing daily play groups has proven to be a win-win for people and dogs! And to think that these exciting outcomes revolve around something so simple and natural as: let dogs be dogs and allow them to play together.
