We have two Labrador puppies available—and they couldn’t be more opposite. Truly something for everyone 🤍🐾

🎅 Santa Snuggler (white collar) — tiny, soft, and incredibly gentle. A calm, sweet snuggle puppy who’s happiest curled up close and soaking in all the love.

🎀 Christmas List (red collar)— equally sweet, just a bit more lively. She enjoys play, loves ball and tug, and is very people-focused without being over the top. We think she’d really enjoy having a job one day—maybe dog sports like her mama—but she also settles nicely and is just a happy, engaging puppy to live with.

Both girls are beautiful, bright, and well-rounded, and will be ready for their forever homes in January.

While you can’t put a real puppy under the tree this year, you can bring one home a couple weeks later—when the house is quiet again, the decorations are packed away, and you could use a little extra joy to get you outside and smiling through winter.

📩 DM me for pricing or to come meet the babies if you’re interested.

The Rex x Cera Litter — Bringing Basic Back

Big news — my very first litter is on the way! This has been a while in the making, and I’m nervous but excited to finally share it.

And yes… they’re standard colored Labrador Retrievers. Nothing flashy, nothing “designer.” Just solid, steady, good-hearted dogs — the kind I think the world truly needs more of.

In my work, I see so many families who want a “fancy” dog but really need a great one: a dog who can hike on Saturday, brunch on Sunday, hang at happy hour, or just chill on the couch when you are. A dog who can be a therapy partner, an agility competitor, or a loyal sidekick — but who also knows how to turn it off and just be.

That’s what I’m striving for with this litter — dogs who fit seamlessly into real life. Dogs you’re proud to bring anywhere, who grow with your family, and who make you smile every single day.

The Rex x Cera pairing was chosen with care: combining Rex’s sweetness and classic head with Cera’s brains and work ethic. Both are proven, healthy, and sound examples of the breed.

Because at the end of the day, looks fade — but great temperament, solid structure, and that buoyant, joyful lab personality never go out of style.

✨ Ready to bring basic back? ✨
Puppies will be ready to go home mid-January at 8 weeks, or mid-February at 12 weeks with training.

Next up: teaching Snow to make soup.

At this point, we’re just one command away from a full-time nurse.

🎥 Doodles in motion! 🐾
This is your friendly reminder: if your dog’s social calendar is busier than yours, they still need to know how to behave and listen around other pups. Group classes are the perfect way to work on focus, leash manners, and polite play — all in a real-world setting with distractions built in.

✨ Bonus: classes have been light lately, so it’s basically a semi-private lesson!

📅 Drop in or sign up for a group class today — your dog’s future self (and your sanity) will thank you.

You may have start from a distance, depending on your dogs feelings you may have to take it slow. Let them investigate, read their body language and help them become confident during spooky season!!! Have a happy safe Halloween!!!

Why yes, of course we dressed the dogs up at dayschool! While some were naturals at it, others took some encouragement, making it a great confidence building activity! But for all, it was a spooky and festive time!! 🎃☠️⛓️

From all of us at Philly Unleashed, have a spooky and safe holiday!!

Aww. Love you buddy! No go forth and find your new home. And if anyone needs to have this big boy in their life, reach out.

He needs to be an only dog, otherwise, he’s the best!

Aunt Claire and King are auditioning to be spoke’s models for our friends at Philly Unleashed Tabernacle. They made huge improvements in King‘s behavior and in his happiness in a very short period of time. I was in over my head with his horrible leash manners. He also wasn’t so great at greeting people now he’s a new guy with lots of good things to put on his résumé. Next goal is finding the perfect home. Have a great evening.

Philly Unleashed is reinventing itself. Same trusted trainers, now with a fresh home in the former Pant Daycare and a new approach to learning. Introducing Philly Unleashed University: think of it like a full education for your dog, starting in Kindergarten and growing all the way through college—with all the fun extracurriculars and social opportunities along the way.

Basic classes are transitioning into a flexible drop-in model, and we’re adding exciting new services like Dayschool and Wedding Concierge. And while we’re growing, the six-week specialty workshops and farm programs you already love will continue.

We’re building a place where dogs and their people can learn, grow, and graduate together through education, enrichment, and plenty of play.
