About this game
Desktop Dog Park is an idle game that lives at the bottom of your screen. It stays running while you do other things, letting you check in on your dogs whenever you want.
Build your own dog park, unlock different breeds, place decorations, and earn coins over time. You can toss a ball, refill food and water bowls, or hire an attendant so the dogs are always taken care of.
It’s simple, relaxing, and easy to keep open all day. Upgrade the park when you feel like it, then go right back to whatever you were doing.

v1.1.1 - Achievement Reliability & Balance Fixes
v1.1.1 - Achievement Reliability & Balance Fixes Fixed several achievements that could fail to unlock after loading an existing save. All Achievements now remember progress between play sessions. Dog Lover and Park Manager should now unlock correctly for players who already earned them. Tree Hugger and Flower Power can now unlock from decorations already placed in the park. Progress-based achievements, like cleaning poop, watering dogs, playing fetch, and playtime, now continue properly after saving and reloading. Improved Steam achievement handling so unlocks are more reliable when Steam is still loading. Made poop sickness feel fairer: dogs now only get sick from nearby poop, not poop anywhere in the park. One poop is now more of a warning, while multiple nearby poops still need attention.Read full article on Community Announcements (Tom McD)Patch NotesOfficial

Fixed an upgrade issue where Auto Collect Coin could incorrectly mark Auto Clean Park as owned. Added a save migration and achievement recheck so Park Manager can unlock correctly for existing saves. Improved poop spawning so poop should no longer appear hidden under decorations or unreachable objects. Improved poop targeting so cleanup is easier when objects overlap. Improved the park attendant job system so food, water, and cleanup tasks are prioritized more reliably. Added Edit Park mode, allowing placed park items and decorations to be moved after placement.Read full article on Community Announcements (mcd2424)AnnouncementsOfficial
