It’s true what they say- a tired dog is a good dog. Help your dog be his best by taking him for a walk in the Tod Avenue and Dunstan Drive neighborhood. Practice his leash manners as you wander through the residential streets.  Be sure to socialize with any neighbors that you come across. Then stop by Burbank Park and let him explore the grassy area. Dogs must be leashed in the park, but that won’t get in the way of him having a pawsome time.  Take some laps around the perimeter or stop by the small pond.  He’ll love sniffing around and taking in all the new scents.  When it’s time to head home, your furry friend will be all tuckered out.

Choose from courses like Basic Obedience, Behavior Modification or Puppy Training. Your furry friend will trade in her bad habits for a set of doggy manners. If she needs some sprucing up, take your pup over to Love Your Pet Grooming.  The folks at this salon will give her a bath, brush and trim. She’ll be ready to win Best in Show! Before leaving, check out their assortment of treats.  Your furry friend is sure to find something delicious!
