🎉 New Year’s Resolutions for Your Dog (Because They’d Make Them If They Could) 🐾

🐕 More movement – Daily walks, sniffari time, and chances to stretch those legs (and noses).

🧠 Mental enrichment – Puzzle toys, training games, and activities that work their brain, not just their body.

❤️ Health check-ins – Keep up with vet visits, dental care, and preventative wellness.

🤝 Better communication – Learn their body language, respect their boundaries, and celebrate consent.

🌿 Adventure time – New trails, new smells, and new experiences to keep life exciting.

🛏️ Rest & routine – Balanced schedules that include plenty of downtime and decompression.

Because a happy dog isn’t about perfection—it’s about enrichment, safety, and quality time together. 🐾💛

Here’s to a year of muddy paws, tired tails, and well-loved dogs.

✨ What’s one resolution you’re making for your pup this year?

Our Dog Adventure Poem

Scenic trails where our pups love to roam,
Sniffing, exploring—Oak Ridge feels like home. 🌲🐕

Joyful group hikes, tails wagging with glee,
Friends made on the trail, just as happy as can be. 🐾

Happy pups learning manners and more,
Confidence growing with each step they explore. 🐕‍🦺

Enrichment moments—brains working hard,
Sniffing and thinking and making their mark. 🧠🐾

Calm check-ins along the way,
Teaching pups the trail is safe every day. 💚

Deep breaths of crisp winter air,
Best dog friends, each sniff shared , 🌬️🌲

Tired paws, curled up tight,
Dreaming of trails from morning to night. 💤🐾

We say a big THANK YOU, loud and clear,
To our pups and our humans for an amazing year. 🎄💚

As you struggle with your own Seasonal Affective Disorder, you may wonder: Do dogs get seasonal depression?

Not in the clinical sense, but many pups do feel the winter blues.

Shorter days, gloomy weather, and less sunlight can mean lower energy, extra naps, and a pup who just isn’t as excited about life as usual. ☁️🐾

The best remedy?

Movement, sunshine, sniffing, and routine.

Outdoor adventures help boost serotonin, reduce boredom, and keep your dog mentally and physically fulfilled all winter long.

That’s exactly what our Adventure Hikes with The Houndry are built for. Our trained professionals get your dog out on the trails for structured exercise, enrichment, and safe social time!

If your pup could use a mood boost this season, now’s a great time to sign up for winter hikes! 🌤️🐶

Our Story

We strive to be THE place where you can leave your dog while you are away for your long shift and not have to worry about them for a minute! You can check in on your dog via live video and get a detailed up-to-the-minute report via our app. We wish to provide our community of dog lovers a service that is unlike any other in Oak Ridge. The Houndry has two separate areas for big dogs and little dogs (based on size AND temperment). The large dog space is over 2400 sq ft Indoors with 2500 sq ft outdoors as well, and the small dogs will have their own separate space and outdoor area away from the larger dogs. Our pick up and drop off hours run from 7am to 7pm with the option of extended hours for those working longer shifts for $3 every extra 15 minutes (per family). We have crates for rest breaks, lunch time (if you provide lunch) and time outs for rough play. ALL dogs will need to be FULLY vaccinated with Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella, and also be Spayed or Neutered if over the age of 6 months. Go to our website and fill out our New Client form on our website. Evaluation Days are $15 per family and every dog will need to be evaluated before they are accepted into the daycare program. That $15 then gets applied to their first full day! Call ahead to schedule a tour!

We are not a boarding facility and do not provide overnight care.
