New Obedience Training Classes starting soon!

Our next session of obedience training classes is starting next week, April 28th.

  We offer Puppy Kindergarten, Basic Manners 1, Basic Manners 2, Advanced and Rally.

We have two obedience trainers, Camille Robinson and Barbara Adams.

Obedience Training is a great way to socialize your puppy with other dogs as well as new surroundings, teach your dog basic commands such as sit, down, come, stay and walking on a leash.  Training is also an opportunity to bond with your pet!

For more information on our training classes, call us at 215-659-3441 or visit the website!

Spring Fling was lots of fun!

Yesterday, we had our Spring Fling for the Doggy Daycampers.  We played Hunting for Hot dogs in the Garden.  We cooked hotdogs and hid them in little cups aroud the camp room.  The dogs had to run around and see who could find the most hot dogs the fastest!  It was lots of fun to watch.  Some of the campers knew just where to look and some of them couldn't find a hot dog if it was right in front of them!! 

We hold parties for the daycamp dogs during just about every holiday.  We've had Halloween parties, Easter egg hunts, Secret Santa parties and we are getting ready for our 2nd Daycamp Prom in June. 

At the end of the day, all of the camper moms and dads got presents too.  They each got a flower scented candle to take home with them.

Golden Retriever Eats $20,000 Diamond

On March 11, 2010, MyFox posted an article about a Maryland jewler's Golden Retriever with very expensive taste!

George Kaufmann brings his dog Sollie to his store, Robert Bernard Jewelers in Rockville, every day. On the evening of January 26, Kaufmann and his business partner, Robert Rosin, were meeting with a diamond dealer and were taking a look at a 3-carat stone when it fell on the floor right next to Sollie. The men watched in horror as Sollie ate it. 

The men quickly called a veterinarian to find out what they should do to retrieve the diamond.  The doctor said nature would have to take its course, so for three days Kaufmann walked Sollie hoping to find the gem in Sollie's stool.

"When we took a walk in the morning and evening I collected and went through everything. It wasn't glamorous, but you gotta do what you gotta do," Kaufmann told Fox 5.  The morning of the third day Kaufmann found the diamond, which he had cleaned and returned to the dealer.

St. Patrick's Day Camp Party

Yesterday we had a St. Paddy's Day Party for the Daycampers.  It was hilarious!  We played a game with the campers.  We set up five green hats in the camp room, only one hat had a treat under it.  Whichever camper was able to figure out which was the "Lucky Treat" hat was the winner. 

Alysse, our Manager Intern, baked all day on Tuesday and brought in special St. Patrick's Day cupcakes for all of the campers to take home with them.  The treats were a HUGE hit with everyone!
