EXCITING NEWS AT MUDDY PAWS!

We’re making some BIG upgrades to the kennel building, and we can’t wait for you to see the finished product!

Starting September 14th, we’ll be having the floors inside the kennel building AND outside underneath the overhangs professionally re-epoxied.

And that’s not all…

Once the floors are finished and the kennels are reinstalled, we’ll be adding dog doors to the kennels! This means your pups will have indoor/outdoor access during their stay!

Don’t worry, your pup will still receive the same amount of supervised time in our play yards for potty breaks, exercise, and playtime in the grass.

TEMPORARY CHANGES DURING RENOVATIONS

While we complete these improvements, we will have limited boarding availability. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to make Muddy Paws even better!

Once the upgrades are complete, we will also be limiting the total number of dogs we accept for boarding.

Why?

Because we want to make sure your pup receives the individual attention, care, enrichment, and overall experience they deserve while staying with us.

We’re incredibly excited about these improvements and what they’ll mean for our boarding dogs!

Better facilities. More freedom. More comfort. Same personalized care.

Stay tuned for updates as we transform the kennel!

Because a tired brain makes for a happy pup!

Training Tip Thursday: Is Your Dog Waiting… or Just Hesitating?

Have you ever told your dog to Sit, Down, or Come, and they eventually do it… but only after thinking about it first?

That hesitation can tell us a lot!

A well-trained dog should respond promptly and confidently to a known command. If they’re slow to respond, it may be because:

❤️ They aren’t fully fluent with the behavior.
🤍 There are distractions competing for their attention.
💙 The command hasn’t been practiced enough in different environments.
🐾 The reward isn’t valuable enough for the situation.

The good news? This is something that can absolutely be improved with consistent training and proofing!

Remember, obedience isn’t just about knowing the command, it’s about performing it reliably, anywhere, anytime.

Need help taking your dog’s training to the next level? We’re currently booking Private Lessons, Day Trains, and Board & Train programs!

💬 Tell us in the comments: Which command does your dog respond to the fastest…Sit, Down, Come, or Place?
