Congratulations to our Basic Obedience graduates! 🎓 They spent the last six weeks mastering essential cues, from reliable sits to awesome recalls, and they now have a rock-solid foundation of obedience skills. A huge shoutout to the amazing owners who put in the time and teamwork to make it happen. We are so proud of these pups and their humans! 🐾❤️ sign up in bio!

Is Salida closing? Nope! While our Buena Vista shop is getting ready for its big move to a new facility in June, our Salida location isn’t going anywhere. We are still right here and ready for all your grooming and training needs.
Spread the word: We’re growing, changing, and staying put all at the same time!

Moving day is finally on the horizon! We’ve loved our time in this space, but Gone To The Dogs in Buena Vista is officially packing up and heading to a brand-new home on May 22nd. Expect the store to be closed that day and potentially the next.
This new facility gives us exactly what we need to keep focusing on what matters most: your dogs’ well-being. We can’t wait to welcome you and your pups through the new doors.
Keep an eye out for more updates as we get closer to the move. We’re so grateful for this mountain community, thanks for coming along on this ride with us! 🐾🏔️ 📍700 US-24, Buena Vista, CO 81211

Believe it or not, this could be your dog! 🐕✨
