We are DogMode

Our Story

DogMode, established in 1999, is owned and operated by Utah native, Susan Butler.  She and her late husband, Jon Campbell, married in 1996 and immediately adopted 2 high-energy mutts from the Humane Society of Utah, Margie and Lilah .  They soon realized that Salt Lake City desperately needed a non-traditional type of dog care where dogs could run, bark, and play to their hearts content while they were at work or on an extended vacation.  

The mission was to create the very first, non-traditional, “off-leash” dog boarding and daycare facility in the Salt Lake Valley where faithful family companions could play with other dogs while being cared for by passionate, dog-loving humans.

Today we continue the mission to provide the very best dog care with the utmost love and integrity.

Our Philosophy

Play Hard - Sleep Sound

The philosophy behind non-traditional style daycare and boarding is to reduce your pet’s stress by increasing activity and stimulation during the day. All of the activity during the day helps them release their nervous energy so they can relax and actually sleep at night. After exercising, dogs seem to look forward to the peacefulness of their own separated sleeping area.

All of our guests at DogMode enjoy the freedom of being off-leash in a supervised environment that provides enough space for some serious play. Dogs are allowed to run, bark, and play to their hearts’ content without the fear of disturbing a non-dog-loving neighbor, escaping from your yard, or breaking one of our valley’s leash law regulations.
