So we are completely booked up for the Thanksgiving holiday, but we have one open spot still available for a board and train over Christmas. What gift is better than bringing home a well trained dog? Give us a call to set up an evaluation. 603.451.8082

It's that time of year again!
The leaves are down, the holidays are coming up fast, and your dog is ready to jump on guests, steal that turkey off of the table, or chew on the kids' new presents. Or maybe you are going out of town for the holidays and you want your dog to have a more immersive boarding experience by adding training in a home environment.

Let us help you out! We just opened up 3 extra board and train stays for the season, and we also can work with you and your dog in the private training capacity in your own home if you are within our service area.

Give us a call as these board and train opportunities will fill up fast.

Eggs is ready for his forever home!

Now we don't generally take on fosters, but Edgar (Eggs, Eggy, Eggasaur, etc) was a special case. He is a littermate to our Bryar, the dog in the Diamond Dogs logo. When the breeder asked if we could take him from the former owner to rehab, who were we to say no?! He was severely overweight and couldn't do stairs when he got here the day before Thanksgiving. Through slow weight loss and physical therapy, he is down 25lbs and stairs are much easier!

Eggy is an Alapaha Bulldog from Currahee Mountain Bulldogs. He is neutered and up to date on vaccines, is around 85lbs. He turns 6 end of August. He is amazing with all people big and small. He is interested in our chickens and our cat, but that could easily be managed. He is house broken and crate trained. We do feel that he would do best as an only dog. He does not like male dogs, but even most female dogs find his play-style/stance off-putting, so a single dog home or a crate and rotate home is preferred.

He will need to be on joint supplements when he goes home, and we found a food that does not irritate his skin/ears/bowels which we can discuss with his future home. He would be a great therapy dog. Training can be discussed as an option as well. The new owners would have not only our support, but the support of his breeder in Georgia. There will be a rehoming fee.

If Eggs and Bry could get along, then he would stay (siblings 🙄😁). But, alas, someone else is going to luck out! So please contact us if you are interested in this big sweet snuggle bug.

We take on very few dogs at a time for our board and train programs so that they get individualized attention. Here is Teddy doing his own version of the "place" command while we ate dinner. It was a bit dramatic, but he held it! 🤣

As most of you know, we like to work our board and train dogs around our chickens. Today we were working Teddy on place, and Wendy decided to help. 🤣

"If I die before my dog, let him see my body.
He understands death, if he feels my death he can cry for me.
If he doesn't see me again he will think I abandoned him and he will continue waiting for my return.
If I die before my companion, let him say goodbye to me.

We have some handsome boys staying with us for obedience and impulse control. Meet Ivar, Frodo, and Balou. Super sweet boys who just need work on how to control themselves. We are in love with all three. 😚🥰

No, this isn't a dog even though she thinks she is.
Meet Ziva! She is already working on clicker training. But her most important job is as a distraction for our board and train dogs. She is social, sassy, and all about training! So please help us welcome Ziva to the Diamond Dogs household.

We have one last board and train spot for January. We are an in home based training business on 2.5 acres, so your dog gets trained in a real world environment around children and other pets, not at a loud kennel facility. They also go on field trips when they are ready, and have lots of playtime in our fenced in yard when they are not being worked or resting. You get weekly instructional training videos, 2 additional lessons, and any necessary training tools included. We also have day train and private lesson packages as well. Start the new year off right with your dog! Give us a call at (603)451-8082

Neither is cheap, but how expensive is doing nothing going to be?

So what breeds would you want in the future?

Meet Edgar!

He is an owner surrender, which we do not normally take as we are not a rescue or shelter, but he is the littermate to our Bryar (our logo dog) so we made an exception.

He is severely overweight to the point where stairs are difficult and he gets short of breath easily. We have lowered his food intake, starting soft exercises, and he starts physical therapy at Canine Strong in Concord in two weeks.

He is a VERY sweet boy and we are working with his breeder, Currahee Mountain Bulldogs, in Georgia to get him back in shape and proper health.

No matter what he went through, he is a sweet and resilient boy. We will be posting his progress. Sweet Sweet Edgar.

So this "mystery respiratory illness outbreak" is none of the above. But don't take our word for it! Read this article by epidemiology expert Dr. J.Scott Weese.

We will keep our clients abreast of any illness that we see and any new findings as they come about. For now it is business as usual here!

I’ve held off writing about this but since I’ve been answering many emails about it every day, here we go. The questions I keep getting (as usual) are
