Our Mission

It’s all about the dogs… and their awesome humans too!
At DDA, we’re focused on strengthening the bond between pups and their families. As a locally owned haven for dog lovers, we provide personalized care and services to meet all your furry friend’s needs, with a side of belly rubs.

Our Vision

Our vision is simple: start a chain reaction of happier, healthier relationships between pets and their people!

Through training, daycare, advice, or just a friendly chat, we help strengthen that connection. If we can make one pet ownership experience more joyful, we’ve succeeded. By doing what we love, we’re not only keeping pets out of shelters but also helping families build lifelong, pawsitive memories.

Our Story

At Dog Day Afternoon, we’re more than just a business—we’re a family with a big, wagging heart for dogs. Founded by a passionate dog lover, our locally owned facility in Leesburg, VA, was created to meet the socialization and training needs of Northern Virginia’s dogs.

We believe in personalized care, offering everything from supervised play and balanced training to a boutique filled with goodies for dogs and dog lovers. Whether you’re looking for daycare, training, or just a place to connect with fellow dog enthusiasts, we’re here to help. Our mission is simple: to strengthen the bond between dogs and their families, one tail wag at a time.
