Its our favourite time of year! We have started collecting donations for our 8th Annual Charity Drive! This year we have once again chosen to support one of our favourite rescues ! So please bring in donations of new or excellent used condition items like slow feeders, leashes, toys, treats, and food, and let's fill this table so dogs awaiting their furever home can be spoiled this Christmas!

We will be accepting donations from December 1st to 21st.

We are so thrilled to be joining WnW for their annual Charity Drive. They have been putting this on for 14 years now!

We are proud to be supporting HugABull once again this year. When it comes to rescue, HugABull sets the standard that all rescues should strive to meet. HugABull is an ethical rescue that truly understands their dogs and their needs, the value of training, and the importance of thoroughly vetting and selecting the absolute right family for the dogs in their care. Lucky us, we have even had the pleasure of having some of their dogs stay with us at our location - and they have all been wonderful!

As if they couldn't get any better, HugABull also supports dog owners by offering free monthly training sessions with a certified R+ trainer, as well as their collar exchange program. The Collar Exchange Program allows you to exchange your aversive collars (shock, choke, prong) for a free Freedom Harness to support owners in their choice to train humanely with science-based methods. AMAZING! This is all alongside their community outreach and education projects, and free spay/neuter clinics.

HugABull does so much to support the dog community, and this is why we want to do our best to show the same support back to them. Swipe to see a wonderful show of donations from years past. We are so lucky to have our Good Hound Family, now let's show them just how amazing you are! ❤️

Swipe to see all the generous donations from GH Village last year! You all make SUCH a difference!

Today, we’re showcasing some hilarious faces we’ve caught on camera! 📸💗

First up, Ollie, flaunting his adorable flying ears!

You all know the legendary Dixie “teefs”—a signature look she rocks during belly rub sessions!

Then there’s Bella the Frenchie, sporting the classic “stuck-lip-on-teeth” grin.

Say hello to Tali, the silly girl, totally zonked after an epic play sesh.

Next, we have Bailey the mini Aussie, flashing her award-winning smile upon arrival at daycare!

And Perses, perfectly positioned to show off those cute bat ears!

Last but not least, Jax, mastering the art of the supreme relax face!

A few spots left! Starts this week!!  Register on our website for the last chance to train in 2025!

A big congratulations is in order for GH Country's Shift Lead and Trainer Damara for achieving her CPDT-KA.

Now here she is with her Karen Pryor Dog Trainer Foundations and Puppy Start Right, NoseWork Instructor Certified, and now her CPDT-KA!
We are so proud of you Damara!
Damara is an exceptional trainer and you can find her at Good Hound teaching Puppy Preschool, Puppy Kindergarten, Basic Obedience, Training Trifecta, Nosework and Rocket Recall!

Everyone please join us in wishing Pearla a very happy 13th birthday! 🥰💗

Pearla is the heart and soul of our senior daycare crew! Don’t let her age fool you; she’s always up for a rumble with her furry friends! Pearla is also the daycare referee, ensuring playtime is safe for all. She’s a big fan of our hammock beds, especially when they provide the perfect back rub as she wiggles around—it’s the cutest thing ever! Pearla is such a sweet and loving pup, always ready to share her wisdom with everyone, even the handlers! We love you so much, Pearla, and we’re so glad you spent your special day with us! All your daycare buddies loved the yummy cookies you brought! 🥳😚

It’s our handsome boy Fergus’s 8th birthday!!! 💛

Fergus can’t wait to get to daycare, and we cherish our morning one-on-one time with him. Nowadays, he’s a big cuddle bug, soaking up all the love. When he’s not relaxing, he’s partying with his furry friends! Fergus has such a gentle and loving soul that we absolutely adore! We love you so much Fergus! It was so social celebrating you on your special day, and your furry pals couldn’t get enough of the pupcakes you brought to share! 🥳💕
