A Huge Thank You to our Downtown Pups Family!

We are grateful for the overwhelming support you've shown us, and we wanted to give back in a big way. That's why we've restructured our daycare pricing to make it more budget-friendly for our amazing regulars and community.

Starting immediately, daily daycare rates will drop to just $35 for the rest of the year! And here's the best part: new clients who sign up for daycare will lock in this rate for the rest of 2024 and all of 2025! (don't worry, our regulars are locked in too!)

We're also rolling out exciting new monthly packages, see pricing below!

As the holidays approach, we're thrilled to help you save more while giving your pups the best care! Stay tuned for additional holiday deals as we continue to give back to the incredible community that makes Downtown Pups so special.

•Pet your dog, all the time
•Talk to your dog, all the time
•Allow your dog to follow you, all the time
•Allow your dog to be on your lap or laying on your feet, all the time
•Pet, soothe, comfort your dog when it whines or barks for attention...or is simply anxious
•Allow your dog to demand affection/interactions
•Be emotionally dependent on your dog to the point that unhealthy dependency and interactions are no longer noticed
•Allow your dog to do whatever it wants, whenever it wants—aka, provide no structure, rules, or accountability
•Foster an environment of chaos, stress, and anxiety
•Refuse to train and pattern calmness
•Refuse to crate train your dog
•Refuse to correct your dog when inappropriate behavior occurs
•Refuse to train your dog how to be independent/alone by using a “Place” command, “Downstay, and/or “away” time in the crate
•Let your dog out of the crate when it whines or barks
•Avoid training or anything that makes your dog temporarily uncomfortable or unhappy—in other words, cater to your dog’s every desire/need, designing your life around your dog, rather than having your dog fit into yours
•And many, many more...

Basically, baby, soothe, allow, enable, disable, lean on, omit teaching necessary life skills, prioritize what feels good for you rather than what does good for your dog, and through this master plan of leadership-free chaos, and systematic cultivation of creating a toxic dependency between dog and human...you’ll ensure that when you leave, your dog will be a true emotional mess, because you haven’t prepared them to be calm, obedient, strong, resilient, robust, independent, and alone.
