How It Works
Health First, Tails Second
Before the fun begins, we take one important step: make sure every pup is healthy, safe, and cleared to play. It's part of what makes the Playground feel different—more calm, more trust, more care.
STEP 2 – Upload Required Vaccines
We require proof of up-to-date vaccinations to keep all tails wagging and noses happy. When every dog is cleared, everyone can relax—no guessing, no stressing.
Required for approval:
-
1️⃣ Rabies (1, 2, or 3 year)
-
2️⃣ Bordetella (annually)
-
3️⃣ Distemper/Parvo (1, 2, or 3 year)
-
4️⃣ Negative fecal test (annually)
Optional: Lepto & Canine Influenza
You can:
📎 Upload your records directly.
🩺 Give us your vet’s info & we’ll fetch them for you.
📩 OR email them to us.
NOTE: If you have already scheduled your Meet-N-Sniff, it may be placed on HOLD or RESCHEDULED if one or more vaccinations are missing or need updating. Watch your 📲 for texts from us.
✅ Add our SMS phone number to your contacts: 952-395-5012
Step 3 - Profile Review
(This step may take 1-2 business days)
Our team will manually review your profile and vaccine records, then get the dates verified by your vet clinic.
This ensures a safe, balanced environment for every dog.
📲 Check your phone—we’ll text you when you’re approved and what next steps are!
✅ Add our SMS phone number to your contacts: 952-395-5012
🐾 Support hours may vary.
Step 4 - Schedule Meet-N-Sniff Tour
Once your pup is vaccination-cleared, you’ll be able to schedule a free 1-hour Meet-N-Sniff—to sniff, play, and see if the vibe is right.
“Let’s get to know each other.”
During this free 1-hour visit:
-
👀 You’ll see the space.
-
🤝 We’ll meet your pup.
-
🐾 They’ll meet a few future friends.
-
🤔 And together, we’ll decide if this is the right fit.
You’ll learn how to use the app (Kisi-Key access), check dog body language, and know how to enter the space.
✅ Add our SMS (text only) phone number to your contacts:
952-395-5012
🚨 NOTE:
We're excited to meet you and your dog for a Meet-N-Sniff Tour! To ensure a smooth experience, please make every effort to attend your scheduled appointment. If you find yourself unable to make it, please let us know as soon as possible via email or text. We dedicate this specific time slot to you and your dog, and occasionally these appointments are scheduled after our regular business hours to better accommodate your availability. Thank you for your understanding.
We do not conduct any tours outside of this step. Only Members and vax-vetted cleared dogs are allowed inside the The Playground. If you want to see the inside of the facility, navigate to the "Cams & Photo" tab on this website.
Step 5 - Your 🔑 Kisi-Key
After you've scheduled your Meet-N-Sniff, you’ll receive an email with a link to download KISI, our secure door access app.
This app becomes your digital key—unlocking The Playground 24/7, anytime your pup needs to play, stretch, or reset. Make sure to keep the app on your phone since this is the only way to enter the building whether on a Day Pass, Canine Camp/Daycare, Training, Events or Memberships.
Because dog parenting doesn’t follow a 9-to-5 schedule... and now, neither do we.
NOTE: Watch your email for the KISI-Key door instructions. ☑️ the spam folder, too. Your access will start at the time and date you selected. You do have to be within 3 feet of the door in order for access to work.
