About
“The best thing in the world is to be loved by dogs.”
-Maria Ochs, owner of Frey’s Place
Dog Daycare in Dayton, Ohio
Frey’s Place is a Dayton, Ohio, dog daycare that delivers what pet owners need post-Covid: certified dog training and dog enrichment services that make life better for pets and pet parents. Many dogs come to Frey’s place experiencing socialization and fear issues. They aren’t well-suited for long hours on their own while their pet parents are at work. Plus, they don’t thrive in a large-volume dog daycare setting. Instead, these puppies and dogs benefit from a less crowded, dog enrichment daycare. At Frey’s Place, dogs learn critical socialization and life skills through dog behavioral training and enrichment activities. Frey’s Place offers a dream setting for all dogs, but especially animals of higher intellect and working breed dogs that thrive on physical and mental stimulation.


Certified Training & Dog Enrichment
Maria Ochs opened Frey’s Place in 2020, following a career managing animal care and behavioral departments for two separate animal shelters. A seasoned dog behavioral trainer with 17 dog training certifications, Maria transitioned to dog daycare because she wanted to give pet owners and pets the behavioral dog training and dog enrichment setting that dogs need to thrive.
Animal Shelter Experience
Frey’s Place is named in honor of Frey, a 1-year-old, high-energy husky surrendered to an animal shelter where Maria worked. In a difficult decision, Maria recommended Frey for behavioral euthanasia and Maria realized that her skill-set might be used better within the community prior to surrender/rehoming etc. so shortly afterwards, she left the shelter and opened Frey’s Place to honor her memory and the memories of other dogs she has cared for. Every day, Maria does her best to positively impact animals’ lives and to create a better understanding of the human/animal bond.
