🎉 Happy Deniversary, Tricia! 🎉
We’re so grateful to celebrate Tricia and the care, curiosity, and compassion she brings to The Dog Den every day. As a Playgroup Leader & Assistant Trainer, she’s thoughtful, relationship-focused, and always advocating for the dogs in her care.

Her journey started with Astro, who began at The Puppy Den and sparked Tricia’s passion for learning, enrichment, and helping dogs thrive. That dedication is reflected in everything she does here.

Thank you, Tricia — we’re so grateful to have you! 🐾💛

✨ January Enrichment Program at The Dog Den ✨
A brand-new year means brand-new ways to keep dogs engaged, confident, and having fun! Our January Enrichment Program is packed with creativity, problem-solving, movement, and seasonal joy. Here’s what’s coming up:

🎪 January 5–9 | Cirque de Dog Den
Step right up! Circus-inspired enrichment focuses on balance, coordination, and playful challenges that get both bodies and brains moving.

🎭 January 12–16 | Flair for the Drama
Lights, camera, action! Dogs explore expressive trick work and confidence-building sequences that let their personalities shine.

🎁 January 19–23 | Prize Punch Wall
Mental enrichment takes center stage as dogs use their noses and curiosity to solve interactive puzzles and uncover rewarding surprises.

❄️ January 26–30 | Snowball Fight!
We wrap up the month with winter-themed fun emphasizing movement and sensory exploration—indoors or outdoors, weather permitting!

Each week is thoughtfully designed to support confidence, creativity, and overall well-being. We can’t wait to make January enriching and joyful from start to finish! 💙🐾
