And so…we bid adieu 💕🚗🦮

Penny Lane is what we call a House of Dog “OG”. She has been coming to us since she was a wee little tyke, and we were only so young too! Now Penny Lane and her family are hitting the road and moving on from Colorado, to the big ol’ state of Texas!
Penny Lane always put a smile on everyone’s faces. Her theme song was “Somebody’s Watching Me”, because rest assured, Penny had her eyes peeled 👀 for tom foolery. If there was a dog that could get a Comedy Central special, it’s absolutely Penny Lane. Have fun in Texas Penny Lane and family! ❤️🌸 We will miss you so much. Make lots of friends for us. 🐕🐕🐕 😊

A few weeks ago Jordan and Tanya graduated their FIRST EVER level 2 “Walk It Like It’s Hot” class! Melba, Linus, and Winston had lots of fun going around town to various places such as Garden of the Gods, Scheels, and then graduating at the Ivywild School. As much as these pups and their parents learned, so did Tanya and Jordan about other crucial skills to add to class! Thanks for being the ladies inaugural guinea pigs. 🤣🤪❤️

🌸 PLEASE NOTE 🌸 This class has been temporarily placed on pause as one of the trainers is going to be on unforeseen time away for a couple months. Tanya and Jordan hope to get Level 1 up and going again in September. Stay tuned! 💕❤️‍🩹

🌈 A tribute to Porter 🌈

This week has been somber. Earlier this week a very special family member crossed the rainbow bridge. Porter was 12 years old, almost 13, and lived the most beautiful life with his mom and dad. He started coming to House of Dog to learn that humans aren’t as scary and can be friends too, and he left with several more. The kennel techs and trainers worked hard to gain his trust and we just LOVED when he came to visit. Porter had the most contagious smile and darling personality, and he lit up any space he was in. Our trainers loved taking him on walkies, and the kennel techs loved giving him his special one on one time in the play yards. There will never be another dog like Pretty Porter. 🐕💕

These are just a few of our staff members favorite pictures of Porter. Please leave any positive thoughts and words of love for Porters family in the comments below. 🌼🌸

The holiday for the humans may have happened a few days ago, but today was a day for DOGS 🐕

Melanie, Tanya, and Pamela hosted our 2nd annual 4th of July nosework event. After multiple days of of loud booms and potentially high stress events, these pups got to shake it off like Taylor Swift, put their noses to work and get a serotonin boost! Not only did they get to search for hotdogs, but Mel also bought all participants cute little ‘Merica teddy bears to take home for their hard work! We hope they’re all enjoying their post event naps!! ❤️

Many have asked when our next nosework event is, and if we’re doing one for 4th of July.

****UPDATE**** The work was completed yesterday, however, we just received a notice that our service is back down. This seems to be not just isolated to our area. Currently it says it will be resolved by 4 pm! We are sorry for any inconvenience caused! ***** Comcast is working in our neighborhood today, to make our service better. In the meantime all service is down. Apparently it has to get worse before it gets better! Please be patient with us today until Comcast is done working! - That means our webcams are down as well!

🔊 PSA 🔊

For dogs with firework anxiety please do not delay, get their meds today! 4th of July is on a Thursday this year, so be prepared for fireworks to go through the weekend. If you are going out of town for the holiday, and your pup will be in boarding, please don’t forget to provide your dogs boarding facility their anxiety medications! We may need to provide it just like you would at home.

🐾 IF YOU HAVE A PUPPY 🐾 now is the time to begin desensitization to the big boom 💥 sounds (if you haven’t already). If you need help or guidance on how to successfully begin this process, please reach out to us! 💕

Last night was horrifying in many of our neighboring states. 💔 With devastating storms & tornadoes impacting countless lives, we wanted to share some more cute photo highlights from today’s walkies and trick class graduations, in hopes maybe we can help spread some joy! 🌸 Help us bring the positive vibes and drop a cute photo of your pet (dogs, cats, hamsters, horses, etc welcome) below on Facebook! ⬇️
In all the sadness, everyone can use a minute to smile looking at loving furry faces. ❤️

⭐️✨🦮 NEW CLASS ALERT 🦮✨⭐️

A couple months ago our new class “ Walk It Like It’s Hot” was announced and it filled up overnight. Well, you asked and we answered! A second date has been added, and Jordan has added a couple spots for a slightly higher capacity! There will be another Level 1 on Saturdays, after the current class goes through level 2. Essentially, this class will be held on Fridays and Saturdays, rotating through levels 1 & 2 with each class. 😊

Do you have a dog who needs “fine tuning” on leash skills, or your dog is fabulous on leash until presented with stimuli (dogs, people, etc) and begins pulling you along for the ride? This is the class for you! The goal with this class is to provide you, the pet parent, with multiple exercises you can utilize to refocus your canine companion back on you when presented with stimuli, with a trainer there to assist in the moment!
PLEASE NOTE: This class is not meant for reactive dogs, we have a different class for that! This class is meant for dogs who pull on leash and/or get overly excited when they see various stimuli and become hard to refocus back to you. This class will be held at our Training center, and later a level 2 will be available taking the learned skills outside in the real world!

Contact us today to enroll! Limited spots available. ☺️
