Check out this sweet video from our senior trainer, Deanna Russell, sharing a great tip on teaching puppies not to jump!This skill is especially important for puppies who will grow into large adults. A good rule of thumb: take your puppy’s weight at four months, multiply it by two, and add 10% to estimate their adult weight.Start training early to set them up for success!

🐾 Hey everyone, it’s Colby! 🐾

I’m having the best time hanging out with Elizabeth! She gives me Kongs, and I love them so much—I even fell asleep on one. 😴💙

And guess what? It’s still fun even though I’m rocking a cone and a neck pillow! Fashion-forward and comfy. 😆

Boarding with Elizabeth is all fun, snuggles, and the best treats. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

If you’ve got a small puppy or dog who’s not a fan of the snow, here’s a quick tip! Lay down a flattened shipping box or a tarp before it starts snowing. Once the snow falls, you can lift it up and—voilà!—you’ve got a grassy patch ready for your pup to p*e on.
