✨🐾 Vendor Spotlight: Keystone K9🐾✨

We’re excited to welcome Keystone K9 to this year’s Matsu Mutts & Midnight Market on June 13th at The Better Companion!

Based in Wasilla, Alaska, Keystone K9 provides structured boarding services for working dogs, focusing on purposeful routines, engagement, and calm handling. Their approach emphasizes meeting the unique needs of active, driven dogs by providing consistency, enrichment, and thoughtful care while owners are away.

Whether you share your life with a sport dog, a working partner, or simply enjoy connecting with fellow dog enthusiasts, be sure to stop by their booth to learn more about the services they offer and the passion behind their work.

At BETCO, we love highlighting local businesses that are dedicated to supporting dogs and the people who love them. We’re thrilled to have Keystone K9 join us as part of this community event! ❤️🐶

Come see us at the Matsu Mutts & Midnight Market! 🐾

Keystone K9 will be set up as a vendor, and we’d love to meet fellow dog owners from around the Valley.

Whether you’re curious about our structured boarding services, talk dogs, or just want to stop by and say hello, we’d love to chat. We’ll be answering questions, sharing information about what makes Keystone different, and offering a special event-only promotion for attendees.

At Keystone K9, we believe dogs thrive with structure, clear expectations, and individualized care. No daycare chaos. No large playgroups. Just thoughtful, structured care for working dogs.

BH trial prep is so much more than teaching a dog to heel.

It’s the dog’s emotional state.
Their clarity under pressure.
Head position.
Focus.
Engagement.
Precision of movement.
Staying connected to the handler when the environment gets loud, busy, and distracting.

Hundreds of hours go into training and practice because every step matters!

Shaka found his new home!

We’re so excited for his next chapter, but we’re definitely going to miss his wrinkly face, goofy personality, and endless enthusiasm for absolutely everything.

Foster dogs always leave a mark, and Shaka was no exception. We’re grateful we got to be part of his journey and help him get to where he belongs.

Go be your wild, goofy self, buddy. We’ll miss you. 🐾

Shaka's adoption is official!
He is embarking on a new journey to his forever home, we could not be happier for him and his new family. 🥰
We're eternally grateful for Keystone K9 for providing Shaka with a safe haven, knowing that their selfless fostering makes a pivotal difference in our mission.
