Flavors of Love: A Tasty Test of Friendship! ❤️🐶
Yesterday, we treated our pups to a delicious taste test featuring three exciting flavor profiles: sweet, savory, and meaty! Each dog got to pick their favorite, and we recorded their top choices. But here’s the fun part—we’re using their flavor preferences to help pair dogs with similar tastes and potential new best friends!
Because just like us, dogs bond over shared interests—even when it comes to food! 🍖🍯🧀 Who knew snack time could help spark new friendships?

Message in a bottle
Ahoy, Mates! Look what Oakley and I found today washed ashore near Rainier Dog Resort & Spa... a mysterious message in a bottle! Seems to be a call to adventure! Stay tuned as we uncover the secrets hidden inside... 🏴☠️
Snowball Ballpit
🎄🐾 On the 6th day of Christmas, our pups dove into a snowy adventure! ❄️
Today’s Snowball Ballpit was a winter wonderland of fun! Dogs big and small had a blast digging, and pouncing through our winter themed ball pit of “snowballs" for treats. 🐶💙 It’s safe to say tails were wagging and spirits were bright!
Stay tuned as we unwrap more holiday magic in our 12 Days of Christmas celebration! 🎁✨
Day 1 of the 12 days of Rainier Dog Christmas!
Today the dogs played the Christmas Card Sniff. It is a simple, 1-on-1 game, but it works wonders for mental stimulation. Dogs love scent detection games!
Each dog set out to find the treat scented Christmas card among the 8 Christmas cards for a yummy snack reward. We had several skilled scent work detectives today! 👃
This exercise builds focus and curiosity. Plus, the low physical impact makes it great for dogs that might need a gentler activity.
Come join us in daycare for more Christmas fun! 🎄
Snack attack! Watch these pro catchers in action. 🐶✨
Training/ enrichment room
This is our training/enrichment room. Today the pad and pour flooring is getting completed. Rubber flooring under an easy to clean and awesomely green soft top epoxy.
It is anti fatigue, low impact flooring. We don't want your dogs running and slipping on concrete here. You won't find a place with better flooring for your pups joints when they are playing and learning!
Forest Scent Space
🌲🐾 Today, Crew had a blast exploring our forest-themed scent space! 🐾🌲
Our enrichment team set up an immersive scent experience filled with the natural aromas and textures of the forest, encouraging Crew to follow his nose, discover hidden treats, and fully engage his senses. It’s always amazing to watch our pups tap into their natural instincts, and Crew really embraced the adventure!
This kind of enrichment is part of our dedication to providing mentally stimulating activities tailored to each dog’s unique needs. Way to go, Crew! 🐶✨
Happy Fall
The fall season is definitely a favorite around here! We had a blast this weekend trying out new enrichments 🎃
