As you struggle with your own Seasonal Affective Disorder, you may wonder: Do dogs get seasonal depression?

Not in the clinical sense, but many pups do feel the winter blues.

Shorter days, gloomy weather, and less sunlight can mean lower energy, extra naps, and a pup who just isn’t as excited about life as usual. ☁️🐾

The best remedy?

Movement, sunshine, sniffing, and routine.

Outdoor adventures help boost serotonin, reduce boredom, and keep your dog mentally and physically fulfilled all winter long.

That’s exactly what our Adventure Hikes with The Houndry are built for. Our trained professionals get your dog out on the trails for structured exercise, enrichment, and safe social time!

If your pup could use a mood boost this season, now’s a great time to sign up for winter hikes! 🌤️🐶

Day 1 — Grateful for Oak Ridge

There’s nowhere we’d rather adventure than right here in Oak Ridge. From the morning fog over Haw Ridge, the calm of Melton Lake — this city gives our pups room to be dogs. Here’s to many more miles with our adventure dogs.

🌲🥾🐾🍂

And to the shelters, rescues, small businesses, and kind strangers we meet on the trails: thank you for being part of our dog-loving Oak Ridge community. We’re grateful for you. 🤎🐶

🍁 Tuesday Trail Tip: Fall Nuts to Watch Out For! 🐾

Those crunchy nuts on the trail might look fun to sniff, but many are toxic to dogs! 🚫

❌ Acorns, Buckeyes, Hickory Nuts, Walnuts, and Pecans – can cause stomach upset, seizures, or worse.

⚠️ Chestnuts – only American chestnuts (cooked, small amounts) are safe.

Keep pups from snacking on fallen nuts and call your vet if they do! 🍂🐕

Our Story

We strive to be THE place where you can leave your dog while you are away for your long shift and not have to worry about them for a minute! You can check in on your dog via live video and get a detailed up-to-the-minute report via our app. We wish to provide our community of dog lovers a service that is unlike any other in Oak Ridge. The Houndry has two separate areas for big dogs and little dogs (based on size AND temperment). The large dog space is over 2400 sq ft Indoors with 2500 sq ft outdoors as well, and the small dogs will have their own separate space and outdoor area away from the larger dogs. Our pick up and drop off hours run from 7am to 7pm with the option of extended hours for those working longer shifts for $3 every extra 15 minutes (per family). We have crates for rest breaks, lunch time (if you provide lunch) and time outs for rough play. ALL dogs will need to be FULLY vaccinated with Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella, and also be Spayed or Neutered if over the age of 6 months. Go to our website and fill out our New Client form on our website. Evaluation Days are $15 per family and every dog will need to be evaluated before they are accepted into the daycare program. That $15 then gets applied to their first full day! Call ahead to schedule a tour!

We are not a boarding facility and do not provide overnight care.
