About

At Escape Canine Retreat & Spa on Joplin, we are excited to offer a custom designed, full daycare and boarding facility with plenty of space to play, learn and relax. Our team of trained professionals engage in a daily schedule that engages the dogs throughout the day. We spend time every day working on group sits and boundaries; such as no jumping up and no rushing the gates. We do recalls and play follow the leader. All of our activities help to engage the dogs. They really want to please, as we always reward for positive behaviors. Any negative behaviors, such as excessive barking, mounting, playing too rough, and not reading another dogs body language are corrected with a redirection and then praise. They also get time to just be a dog and run and wrestle. And of course there is down time, where the staff is touching every dog in every play group everyday.
