🐾 HOLIDAY BOARDING UPDATE! 🐾

We are officially FULLY BOOKED for Thanksgiving! We are so grateful to each of you who trusts Pet Commander Kennels to care for your dogs while you’re away. We don’t take that trust lightly, and we’re looking forward to loving on all of our Thanksgiving guests!

🎄 Christmas is filling up quickly, too! We are already more than halfway full and anticipate being completely booked within the next week or so.

If booking Christmas boarding is on your holiday to-do list, now is the time to get it scheduled!

📞 Give our office a call today to reserve your dog’s stay. Once we’re full, we’ll move to a waitlist for any cancellations.

We can’t wait for a fun and busy holiday season with your pups! ❤️

If you bring us a puppy, there’s a 100% chance we’ll spend every waking moment playing and snuggling them.

Be honest… would you get ANYTHING done with this little face around? 😂

One of our favorite parts of the job is discovering what makes each dog in our care the happiest.

Some live for long play sessions, some would chase a tennis ball all day, some love belly rubs and cuddles, and others just want their head petted until they fall asleep. 🥹

Every dog is different, and getting to know their little personalities is one of the best parts of what we do. ❤️

🎃 Halloween is right around the corner! And while the costumes, candy, and trick-or-treaters are fun for us, all that excitement can be a LOT for our dogs.

A few quick reminders to keep your pup safe and happy:

👻 Costumes + crowds can be overwhelming. Even dogs who love people may be unsure about masks, costumes, and lots of activity. Pay attention to their cues and give them space if they need it.

🔔 Create a quiet spot. If the doorbell sets your dog off, give them a cozy space away from the action with their bed, a favorite chew, and some music or white noise.

🚪 Watch those open doors! With trick-or-treaters coming and going, keep your pup secure and make sure their ID tags are up to date.

🍫 Keep the candy out of reach. Chocolate can be dangerous for dogs, and xylitol found in some sugar-free treats is extremely toxic.

🐶 And if your pup is dressing up, make sure their costume is comfortable...and if they aren't enjoying their costume, a festive bandana works too!

Now for the fun part…does your dog dress up for Halloween? 🎃🐾 Drop a photo in the comments, we want to see those costumes!

Who says pumpkin season is just for humans? 🎃🐶 Your pup wants in on the fall fun, too!

Try these easy Peanut Butter + Pumpkin Training Bites:

🎃 ½ cup plain pumpkin purée
🥜 ¼ cup natural peanut butter (NO xylitol!)
🥚 1 egg
🌾 1½ cups oat flour

Mix, roll thin, cut into tiny training-sized bites, and bake at 325°F for 15–20 minutes.

Pet Commander Training Tip: Keep training treats SMALL! Tiny rewards allow you to reward good behavior more often...and frequent reinforcement can be much more effective than one big reward. (For size, think pea sized for smaller dogs and blueberry sized for larger dogs!)

Happy training & happy pumpkin season! 🐾🍂

Some jobs are just jobs.

And then there are the ones that never really feel like work because you genuinely love what you do.

Our trainers don’t just train dogs. They build relationships, celebrate the little wins, and pour their passion into every dog they work with.

Sunset, a dog beside you, and doing what you truly love. We’d call that a pretty good day. 🐾

Picture this: It’s Thanksgiving afternoon. The doorbell rings, family starts pouring in, food is covering every available counter...and your dog is SO excited they don’t know what to do with themselves.

They’re jumping on guests, barking at the door, sneaking toward the food, or struggling to settle while you’re trying to enjoy the day. Suddenly your peaceful family dinner starts feeling like a whole lot of chaos.

And THAT is why fall is one of our busiest training seasons of the year.

It feels like fall just started, but the holidays are right around the corner. Right now is the perfect window to work on the behaviors you don’t want to be managing when your house is full.

Our 15- and 30-Day Board & Train programs cover the foundations of a well-mannered companion, including recall, place, stay, mannerly greetings, leash manners, and more. Then we tailor the training to your dog, working on things like barking, reactivity, or whatever behaviors are causing stress at home.

October fills quickly, so we’ve opened a few extra spots this year to help more families get holiday ready.

A lot can change in 15–30 days. Let’s get started before that doorbell rings! 😉

If your dog could pack their OWN overnight bag for their vacation at Pet Commander Kennels, what would they insist on bringing? 😂🐾

🎾 Their favorite ball?
🧸 A beloved stuffed animal?
🦴 An unreasonable number of treats?
🛏️ Their favorite blanket?

Tell us in the comments! Bonus points if you share a picture. 📸

And speaking of packing, “What do I need to bring for boarding?” is one of our most asked questions.

The answer is simple: All you HAVE to bring is your dog!

We provide high-quality dog food and treats, bowls, and comfortable bedding. You’re also welcome to bring your dog’s own food, bowls, bedding, favorite toy, or blanket to help them feel right at home.

If your dog takes medications or supplements, those DO need to come with them. We’ll administer everything as directed, with no additional medication administration fee.

Basically, whether your pup travels light or needs their favorite blanket to sleep, we’re ready for them. 🐾

One little command. A whole lot of freedom. 🐾

“Place” is one of those skills that can make a huge difference in everyday life with your dog.

It teaches them that sometimes, their job is simply to settle in one spot and wait patiently while you handle what you need to handle. Opening the front door, welcoming guests, cooking dinner, unloading groceries, or keeping them safely out of the way during a busy moment.

And the goal isn’t to keep your dog in “place” all day. It’s to give you a reliable tool you can call on when you need it, so you don’t have to constantly manage your dog.

More skills = more trust. More trust = more freedom. ❤️

That’s why “place” is an important part of every one of our Board & Train programs.

🐾 What’s your dog’s BEST trick?

Of course, we’re big believers in mastering the basics first...sit, down, recall, loose-leash walking, place/stay, and all those important everyday skills.

But training can be FUN, too! 🙌

Shake. Roll over. Spin. Play dead. High five. Put their toys away. 😂

Teaching tricks isn’t just entertaining... it’s also great mental exercise for your dog! Learning something new encourages focus, problem-solving, and engagement, while giving you another fun way to strengthen your bond.

And it doesn’t take long. Just a few minutes of training can give that brain a workout! 🧠🐶

Now we want to hear from YOU…

👇 What’s the coolest, funniest, or most unexpected trick you’ve taught your dog?
