Dog Playschool
What is Dog Playschool?
Dog playschool is a 'play' and 'dog walking' solution for your dog. We use a private site on the ourskirts of Exeter.
Rubys Realm, Broadclyst: A total dog paradise! Rubys Realm is especially suitable for puppies and younger dogs as there is a fully fenced off area where dogs can play in safety. The site is approximately 4 acres, with a wood, large grassed area and a lake.
If you would like your dog to come to 'dog playschool', we collect and return you dog in our custom dog van, equipped with secure and comfortable dog crates.
We offer a wide range of toys for dogs to play with including balls, dog ropes and squeaky toys. Drinking water is available at all times.

We currently run 2 sessions 10am to 11am and 2pm to 3pm. We can accomodate a maximum of 4 dogs per session.
All dogs are supervised at all times and we ensure that each dogs individual needs are met.
Dog playschool is a fantastic alternative to a traditional 1 hour dog walk. It includes collection and delivery of your dog to your home or workplace. Including transportation, dogs will be out and about for for approximately 2 hours which could be ideal if you work all day.
We can offer a FREE text service if you aren't at home when we return your dog, to inform you that they are safe and well.
We can also offer a FREE video clip sent by email so you can see the fun your dog has whilst at dog playschool.
What sort of dogs use dog playschool?
Our dog playschool is ideal for the active dog who loves to play with other dogs. It could be the ideal alternative to a dog walk that would ordinarily be on a lead. Playschool is also ideal for puppies and young dogs as they can socialise and exercise in safety. All dogs must be sociable with other dogs and new dogs to the dog playschool will be introduced to exisiting dogs slowly and carefully. Regretably we cannot offer places to aggresive/ overly dominant dogs or bitches on heat. All dogs must be up to date with vaccinations, worm and flea treatment. We also recommend that dogs are up to date with kennel cough vaccinations.
