Oscar is back for his next round of Board & Train! 🐾💙

This time around, we’re loving getting him out into the real world and putting his training to work where it actually matters. New places, new smells, people coming and going, tempting distractions—all while practicing staying calm, engaged, and connected to the person on the other end of the leash.

Training inside four walls is one thing. Learning how to carry those skills into everyday life is where it all starts to come together.

More adventures to come for Oscar! 🐶

🇺🇸 Never Forget. 9.11.01.

Today we remember the lives lost, the heroes who stepped forward, and the families forever changed.

May we never forget the courage, sacrifice, and unity shown on that day. ❤️🤍💙

🎒✏️ Back to school is officially in full swing! 🐾

We hope everyone who started school—or really kicked off the school year today—had a GREAT first day! 📚🍎

And while the kids are back in class, our pups are back to school too! 🐶 When you come in to drop off your dog, make sure you check out some of our artists’ work 🎨 and stop by our Back to School area for a picture!

Because obviously we need first-day-of-school pictures of the dogs too. 😂📸

Here’s to a great school year for everyone—two-legged and four-legged! ❤️

Whew! 😮‍💨🐾 There was a LOT of fun had over the long weekend, and safe to say… the dogs are pooped! 😂💤

But tomorrow, school is officially in full swing! 🎒✏️ And while the kids head back to class, your pup might be ready for a little “school” of their own. 😉

Have you booked your daycare days yet? Whether they need to burn some energy, work their brain, hang with friends—or all of the above—we’ve got them covered! 🐕📚

Life is an Adventure. Live it with your Dog. 🐾

🏆 Our friend AJ had a GREAT day in Michigan yesterday! 🏆
AJ, our English Cocker Spaniel friend, took home Best in Specialty Show! 🎉🐾
What does that mean? A Specialty Show is a dog show dedicated specifically to one breed—so AJ competed against a whole bunch of other beautiful English Cockers and came out on top! 🥇
We are SO excited for AJ and his team and loved cheering them on all the way from Minnesota! 🫶🏼
Now they’re off to Des Moines today for the next one. Fingers crossed the winning ways continue! 🤞🏼🏆
Way to go, AJ!! 💙🐾

Who else is smiling for the long weekend?! 😁🐾

We’re loving having some of our favorite regulars back with us AND getting to know some new faces here for boarding! 🐶💛

Nothing better than a full house of happy pups enjoying their own little long-weekend getaway. 🏕️🐾

Life is an Adventure. Live it with your Dog. 🐕✨

🚗🐾 Who’s headed out of town for the weekend?!

How does your dog ride in the car? Whether you’re heading up north, hitting the lake, or just cruising around town, keeping your pup safe while traveling is just as important as keeping yourself safe.

We LOVE our RuffLand Kennels for exactly that reason! 🙌 Our dogs spend plenty of time on the road during Transport, and having everyone safely secured in their own crate gives us peace of mind while we get them from Point A to Point B.

Adventure is more fun when everyone gets there safely. 🐶🚙

How does your dog travel — crate, seatbelt, or professional backseat driver? 😂

Shrimp says: school is a LOT of work! 😴🎒📚

All that learning really takes it out of you! 😂 Wishing all the kids, teachers, parents—and pups adjusting to their new routines—the best of luck with their first days back at school this week! ✏️🍎

And if your pup needs a little daycare school of their own while the kids are back in class, we’ve got you covered! 🐾 Between playtime, training, enrichment, and practicing those everyday manners, there’s plenty of learning happening here too. 🎓🐶

Here’s to a great school year filled with learning, new adventures, and a few well-earned naps along the way!
