🐾 May Dog of the Month: Cooper! 🐾

Congratulations to Cooper, our May Dog of the Month! 🎉

Cooper has been with us since the very beginning of BYOD, and we've had the privilege of watching him grow tremendously. When he first started daycare, he absolutely loved toys, but he also struggled with some toy possessiveness. He could be particular about his personal space and wasn't always comfortable when other dogs got too close to his face or behind him.

Over time, Cooper has made incredible progress. He has learned to better communicate with his friends, make positive choices, and handle situations with much more confidence and patience. We are especially proud of how well he has done meeting new dogs, giving them the opportunity to get comfortable, and building positive relationships with them.

Today, Cooper is playing better than ever and continues to grow into the well-mannered gentleman we know and love. ❤️

We are so proud of all the hard work he's put in and can't wait to watch him continue to succeed. Congratulations again, Cooper! You earned it! 🐶🏆

🐾✨ MEET THE PACK ✨🐾

Meet Melissa — our Pack Operations Specialist here at BYOD. 💚

Melissa has been part of the BYOD pack since shortly after opening and brings years of hands-on pet care experience to the team. She helps wherever she’s needed — from supporting daycare and managing playgroups to helping guide staff throughout the day. Her knowledge, calm presence, and natural understanding of dogs make her an important part of our pack.

Hannah and Melissa previously worked together in pet care and have always balanced each other out perfectly — what one thrives in, the other steps in to support. That teamwork has carried right into BYOD and has been a huge asset to the team.

🐾 Fun fact: Melissa has loved dogs her entire life and started working with them as a dog trainer back in 2009 while continuing her education in canine health and nutrition. For her, there’s no better feeling than helping a scared or grumpy dog open up, build trust, and finally show their loving personality. 💚

We’re so lucky to have her as part of the BYOD pack! Show Melissa some love in the comments! 💚
