Did you know that we foster dogs!
Mostly thought Agave Dogs Rescue
This cute pup is Fleur; she's a sweet and confident 4 month old large breed mix. Would be a fun DNA test. So far she loves dog play, and cuddles. Crate and potty skills are coming along.

Hey there folks and Happy Fourth of July 🎆🎆🎆
Did you know we are now officially offering day care and day training?
-Our doggy daycare is going to be kept small. Meaning if your dog isn't a good fit for larger daycares because it's too over stimulating this could be a great option! This can help more fearful or anxious puppies, adult dogs that just need a more personal experience or older dogs that need a more comfortable space. Nap time on the sofa, one on one play, a daily walk in the nearby park.
-The Day Training program is a wonderful additional option for those wanting Board and Train but don't want to leave their pup overnight for weeks. We are offering the same training but you get to drop off and pickup each day! This program is 15/20 days and 2 to 3 days a week for roughly 8 weeks. You still get a 60-90 minute private lesson at the end of the program to go over everything they learned. Plus you can still bring your dog to daycare afterwards to keep up with training and social skills or just for fun!
Both of these new services still get you daily photo updates, personalized service, healthy structure and of course a wonderful time for your dog!
Located in Central Vancouver WA

This little dude came for a 3 week BT because he doesn't like to wear or put on a leash.
Well he still hates it. 😂
But is slowly learning that if he wants to do anything fun it's going on.
Sometimes issues like these take much longer at home. But having good follow through and keeping up the rules and boundaries set from BT can help make the transition smoother and easier.
There is no 'Quick fix' for dog training. It's all about management and being a good leader for your dog.

Steve's brother (not littermate we think) and a house mate still.
3 week BT for fear and confidence building.
This poor guy was so scared of everything. Even the steam from your food.

This little cutie did a short 9 day BT to work on basic skills while his parents were traveling.
This 9 day program is short, simple and sweet. A perfect way to start your training journey.

ETA she has been picked up by her family.

Good evening!
We found this cutie on the door step this evening
The number on the tag isn't in service. Tomorrow I'll take her to the vet for a microchip. Vancouver people can you please share this post so we can find her family? She's really sweet and currently safe in our kennel space.
