8 Mistakes People Make When Training Puppies
Even though most of us have the best intentions when raising new puppies, most of us are guilty of these training mistakes!
This blog breaks down the most common issues with training new puppies and the best way to address those potential problems.

Read about these common mistakes here!
Giving Back with Bear
See the love unfold as we have the honor of delivering a special puppy named Bear to a very deserving couple...

When the exact Teddy Bear puppy that Jon & Jillian fell in love with in Animal Kingdom Tucson months prior found himself needing a new family in the Homes for Life program... we knew it was destiny and had to make this dream come true! Bear's new owner, a veteran named Jon, has been fighting cancer connected to his time in combat and has been wanting a dog to lift his spirits.

Bear is already so loved and brings so much joy to his new, loving home.

Read more about the ways we give back here.
Adoptable Dogs
We assume a lifetime responsibility for every puppy we send home. Our Homes for Life program is the result of this commitment and our dedication to preventing pet homelessness.


We understand that for unfortunate and unforeseen reasons sometimes customers who purchase our puppies can no longer care for them. For this reason, our customers agree that, they would relinquish the dog to us, not a shelter, so that we may find them a new, loving home.
Please help us find a home for this special pup!

Summer Breeder Visit
We make multiple trips every year to visit with our breeders in the midwest (where there are stricter regulations regarding breeding).

This August, we visited a handful of our breeders, both long-time partners like Rae Lynn and her Champion Beagles and newer to our company, like Sharrie!
Sharrie and her family run their small kennel operation together and specialize in smaller breeds like Mini Aussies, Mini Schnauzers and Havanese.
They focus on giving their babies love and gentle socialization as well as provide plenty of time outside to play!
Their family operation is driven by the love of their puppies and passion for providing excellent companions to loving families.
Custom Pet ID's
Now is the time to make sure all your pets have ID tags and microchips registered with the correct information.
These unique and adorable tags can be custom engraved in minutes at all Puppies 'N Love & Animal Kingdom Locations.
Puppy Enrichment
One of the things that sets us apart is our dedication to puppy enrichment + dog training. Here is what enrichment looks like to us...
Our Animal Care Team at Animal Kingdom Arizona Mills took some puppies over to Sealife for a socialization outing! They got to experience something brand new while making new fishy friends.

Thanks for having us Sealife!

Medterra Pet CBD
Does your dog suffer from anxiety? You might consider CBD to ease their stress! We offer a variety of Medterra's CBD pet-safe products in our stores. CBD is known to help ease pain and anxiety in pets.

Read more about these vet certified products here.
As an early leader in the industry, Medterra is proud to say that all of their CBD oils, tinctures, and creams start at American hemp farms.

CBD Calming Chews were developed with ingredients that help keep your pet happy and relaxed, including Valerian Root and L-Tryptophan. Because when they feel good, so do you. Each chew contains 10mg of CBD, making it easy to track and monitor your pet’s serving size.
Special Puppy Prices
To ensure that all of our puppies find homes in a timely manner, we reduce their price as they age. By no means are we lowering the cost of these puppies because they are in any way less valuable, but it’s our mission to find each of our puppies a permanent home as quickly as possible.
