Guys!! My driveway is EXTREMELY slippery!! My husband is going to salt (bless him) but I still want to make sure everyone is cautious and goes slow upon arrival tomorrow.
Please don't feel obligated to bring your pup to daycare tomorrow if the travel is not something you're comfortable with. We totally understand avoiding the drive if it's not necessary and we want everyone to be safe!
To everyone: be safe & stay home if you can!
Bandit is still looking for the perfect family who wants to play fetch, snuggle on the couch, go for walks, and be an adventure buddy! He’d make someone a great family dog! 🐶
Adoption will go through Safe Haven but meet and greets can take place here at Memphis & Co! 🩵
We have some familiar faces who haven’t visited for a while! Our training pups wanted to jump in on some photo taking too, so they made it in the reel 😄
Good to see ya,
Rocky + Tyson

The training trio practicing their downs while daycare dogs run & romp around them. Chicory has struggled in daycare settings in the past due to separation anxiety and obsessive barking. We’ve been working on her coping skills to feel relaxed and not feel the need to rely on a human to have fun. Even if that means just laying down with some training pals to simmer the brain for a while! It’s not easy for Bea, who wants to wrestle and run with all of her daycare pals but she’s showing off how good she is at what we practice! And Belle is working on proofing her command work ☺️
Belle, Chicory, & Bea all hard at work today!
Chicory is a trainers dream 🥰 her eagerness to learn and provide is beautiful. She’s such a fun dog!
Today’s brain game: putting front paws on the feed pan.
Some of the dogs grasped it right away, some needed extra help, some just couldn’t quite figure it and that’s okay!
It’s so fun watching dogs try to figure out “puzzles” and how easily a 5 minute session of learning can make a pup so sleepy 🤣
Chicory is also working on paying attention to me, not feeling stressed or nervous in the presence of other dogs in a controlled environment. LOVE how much she’s already settled in and feeling secure in her choices with some guidance.
This was a bit of a double whammy. Duke has shown some reactivity/uncertainty around other dogs, so seeing him just chill on hit cot while I worked Chicory was another win for this session 👏
Chicory is getting the hang of the place work. She thrives off brain work! 🧠 💪
Duke now knows the command “talk sh*t” 😎
Duke’s first walk in town with me 🐾 we had to work through some moments but he quickly shaped into a nice walking partner. This boy makes my heart swell a bit 🥹🤍
Another Willow memory 🕊️ doing what she loved most, jumping in that pool especially when her dads were working hard to keep her out of it 😂
