Big hearts, little paws, and a yard all their own! 🐾❤️
Did you know that at Mountain Paws Pet Resort, our pint-sized guests get the VIP treatment? We know the big wide world can be a little intimidating for smaller pups, which is why we provide a completely separate, dedicated play yard and cozy kennel area exclusively for our small dog family.
From tiny, bearded Brussels Griffons to cheerful Corgis, fluffy Pomeranian mixes, and spirited terriers—our little guests get to romp, socialize, and explore safely with friends their own size.
The busy holiday season is just around the corner, but you don't have to wait until winter vacation to give your pup a getaway! Beat the holiday rush, secure your peace of mind, and treat your little one to a fun staycation during our quiet season.
✨ Spaces fill up fast for the holidays! Click the link in our bio or call us today to lock in your pup’s spot for a safe, tailored, and exceptionally fun boarding experience.

Teach Your Dog to Wait Doors
Does your dog rush through the door the moment it opens? Whether you're heading out for a walk, bringing in groceries, or welcoming visitors, teaching your dog to wait at the door is a valuable safety skill.
We want to teach your dog what TO DO, rather than simply telling them what NOT to do.
START WITH DOOR CLOSED
Begin with your dog on a comfortable leash or standing near you. Reward them for remaining calm near the closed door. You can use treats, praise, or whatever your dog finds rewarding.
INTRODUCE DOOR MOVEMENT
Reach toward the handle. If your dog remains relaxed, reward them.
Gradually progress to turning the handle, opening the door a few inches, & then closing it again.
REWARD WAIT
If your dog stays with you rather than rushing forward, respond with a cheerful "Yes!" & reward them.
GRADUALLY INCREASE CHALLENGE
As your dog becomes more comfortable, slowly increase how far & how long the door stays open.
If they move forward, simply make the exercise easier. Close the door if safe to do so, reset, & try again.
ADD RELEASE CUE
Once your dog understands the exercise, introduce a release word such as "Okay!"
This tells your dog when it's okay to move through the doorway.
REASONING
Waiting at the door isn't about controlling your dog. It's about developing impulse control, creating predictable routines, & helping your dog learn that they don't need to rush.
It also creates an opportunity for your dog to check in with you before moving into an environment where there may be traffic, unfamiliar people, other animals, or unexpected distractions.
Remember:
✔️ Keep training sessions short
✔️ Reward the behaviour you want
✔️ Progress at your dog's pace
✔️ Avoid scolding & physically correcting your dog
✔️ Practice in different doorways once your dog understands

TAKEAWAY
A calm exit doesn't happen because a dog is told to behave. It happens because we've taken the time to teach them a skill they understand.

Thanks.
