First and foremost, we're very excited to be announcing our new relationship with
K9 Turbo Training
! As of now, they will be offering three 6 week classes, Basic Manners, Puppy Manners & Tricks on site at Happy Hounds. Get your calendars ready! It's time to dust off that old treat pouch and brush up on some extra skills. Your pooch will enjoy the mental stimulation, while you enjoy the bonding time with your favorite furchild. For more info, keep scrolling!
It's that time of year again, our third annual Valentine's Day party is quickly approaching. Due to the PAW-pularity of this event,
the love fest will now be held on two separate days,
Wednesday, February 14th and again on Thursday, February 15th!! Be sure to reserve a spot as they will book up quickly.
If your pooch has a standing reservation for daycare on either Wednesdays or Thursdays, you will not need to reserve for the party as your pup is already on the roster. Please do not book daycare for both days of daycare as we'd like to assure enough spots for all the pups wanting to attend. Like the previous years, the puppers will be paired up with one of their favorite friends and dine on gluten-free pasta with a dab of pureed pumpkin while posing for cute pictures. Our parties the last three years were a huge success. We had a blast and were extremely pleased with all the pleasant feedback from parents. If you plan on bringing your pooch to the party, please leave their lunch snack at home.
As a reminder, lobby doors are
locked between the hours of 10am and 2pm on weekdays. We do
not schedule or allow
any traffic during those hours. We do lock the lobby promptly at 10am so the pups are able to have free-roam. This is strictly for the benefit of the pack, because by 10am, everyone is ready to start their day of play! Keep in mind, from the hours of 7am-10am, they're segregated between the upstairs and downstairs, with limited access to the yard and rest of the facility. If it's nearing 10am and you're running behind, please call to cancel or reschedule.

Happy Hounds' Dog of the Month
|

Meet Abby & Piper
Abby, a toy poodle, and Piper, a toy fox terrier joined the Happy Hounds family in June 2015. At the time Abby was 3 years old and Piper was 6 years old. Normally we don't do two dogs in one go but let's be real, these two are a packaged deal. With an average weight of 6.5lbs, everything compared to these two is colossal but that doesn't stop them from sneaking out of the office safe zone and taking the long venture to the basement. Athletic and coordinated are two adjectives never used to describe these two, but that doesn't break their spirit. There's nothing that Abby & Piper love more than a good ol' game of fetch. Be prepared for laughs galore as they scramble to catch the ball, only to lose sight as it bounces all around. Piper typically can predict where it's going. Abby... on the other hand, is another story. That girl just spins and hops in circles, frantically trying to track the ball. They put their whole heart and soul into the game but they'll certainly never make varsity. I guess there's a lesson to be learned, the game should be about the love of the sport, not the love of winning. However, after a lost game of fetch, their favorite way to unwind and de-stress is with a supervised shredding party. Let me tell you, we've saved tons of man hours by ditching the paper shredder and putting these ladies to work.

First dates are pawkward. Sometimes you meet a perfect gentleman or a lovely lady and sometimes, sometimes you meet someone who isn't afraid to be themselves.
Our Valentine's dogs last year were no exception. Some of our pairs hit it off, others ditched on the check and some went to the bathroom and never returned, leaving their date to finish the meal. And of course, we had a few serial daters who were only in it for the food. We will be giving all of your pooches a chance for redemption... hopefully the fourth time is the charm! After three years, these pups better bring their A-game for the ladies and show us some proper doggy etiquette. Mark your calendars and make your pup a reservation for:
Wednesday, February 14th
OR
Thursday, February 15th!
(Standing Clients for Wednesdays and Thursdays do not need to book. Your pups are already scheduled to attend the pawty)
All pups attending the party will be offered a small plate of gluten-free pasta with a dab of pureed pumpkin to share with one of their favorite furry friend. With all these scrumptious snacks, please leave lunches at home unless absolutely necessary. Some of the young, rowdy pups may still want to bring a small lunch.
