I wish I wish I WISH someone would open a Camp Bow Wow here. We've used them in three different cities, and they are the best in the business. Plus they don't allow non-neutered dogs, which solves a lot of aggression problems.
That said, there is a new place, Pet Lodge and Spa, in Leesburg that seems to be run well. I can only speak for the day care, but it's a very calm facility due to the fact that the rooms have half walls. In another place we were using, the walls were chain link fencing. The dogs in the different areas could see each other, and the barking and aggression was nerve racking. We walked in there one day to find our dog backed into a corner by two other dogs. And nobody policing this. (We could see through a window into the play area.) Our large dog is well socialized and confident, but is not one to enter a fray, and will shut down and turn the other way around aggressive dogs. We discovered that there was an employee there who would take him into the kitchen with her while working to get him out of the room. I appreciated that but decided this wasn't the place for our peace-loving, quiet guy.
The indoor play areas at Pet Lodge are roomier, and the outdoor area is covered in artificial "dog grass," which in our dog's case cuts down on the skin allergies he can get from the Florida grasses and dirt. We've liked the place so far.
