We love caring for your dogs like our own — but this is the best part of all. That reunion moment where love takes over and tails can’t stop wagging 🧡🐾

As we pause to reflect on what we’re thankful for, our hearts are full of gratitude for our incredible clients and the trust you place in us to care for and train your dogs. Thank you for being part of the Zero to Hero K9 family.

From our pack to yours, Happy Thanksgiving! 🧡🍁

This little cutie spent the weekend at Z2H 💓 Training isn’t just about teaching commands — it’s about shaping confidence, focus, and calm from the start. Puppies learn fast, but they also test boundaries fast — and that can be a lot for busy families. Our Board & Train Mini gives your puppy the structure, guidance, and consistency they need (while you get a much-needed breather 😉)

Dog parks might sound like a dream, but for many dogs… they’re a stress test.
Overstimulation, rough play, and poor supervision can create fear, reactivity, or bad habits that take months to undo.
Real socialization happens in calm, controlled environments — not chaos. 🐾💡

Please welcome Clover to Z2H 🍀! This young lady is ready to achieve her training goals 💪🏻 and we're so excited to help her on her journey 🐾💕
