Where to Take Your Dog to Play This Winter in Milwaukee

Fun for Fido

BY Jenna Kashou

Just like the other members of the family, dogs need a place to release some pent-up energy in the winter. So change things up (while staying warm) at the Canine Enrichment Center (1365 Arrowhead Rd., Grafton), where canines and their humans can play in a comfortable indoor place.

The 2,000-square-foot facility is one of the only places in the region that has an open gym, welcoming all ages and all breeds. Reserve time in 30-minute blocks for access to the equipment and toys that enhance relationships and training concepts.

There are even furry friend play dates available if two dogs have an established, positive play history. Looking for something more structured? The “Tricks Just for Kicks” drop-in class schools your pooch (and you!) in one new stunt per session.

Rates vary, depending on the level of staff assistance. For more information, visit their website.
