I'm pleased to be offering a new Puppy Play Hour on Saturdays over at the new Mutty Paws Dog Day Care in South Portland.  I'm teaming with the owner, Kris Klinges, to offer a great new experience for new puppy owners.  They get to be IN the group WITH the pups and will learn how to interpret play behaviors, supervise their pup's play safely and stop unwanted behaviors. Perfect!  And...it's FREE if you need it to be.  We will be collecting donations for worthy pet-related causes from week-to-week, but there's no obligation to contribute.  Group starts on Saturday 2/4 at 2 p.m.!  Click the link below and you'll be taken to Kris' site for Mutty Paws, where you can find directions to his awesome ORANGE building!!

You can now enjoy photos of your pup/dog taken here at DWD from the comfort of your own home without having a Facebook account.  Just click on the link below and you'll be taken to my new photography site on Zenfolio.  I'll be adding new galleries almost daily, so check back often....  I'm also available for private photo shoots if you desire.  Just ask....

Beginning on 1/16/12 DWD will now be offering a Returning Retrievers Romp Class on Mondays!  The class filled amazingly quickly when the word went out....and 30 Labrador and Golden Retrievers who graduated from DWD as wee pups will be returning to romp this winter.  Oh my!  We'll totally have our hands full, won't we?  This class is open ONLY to dogs who trained here as pups, and space is limited.  Email if you want to be on the waiting list for a spot!

Sorry for the inconvenience, but the Pack Leader needs to have a little surgery....

Got a voracious chewer?  A hunting breed?  A dog who thrives on retrieving?  Here are the Pack Leader's top recommendations....

Here are the recommendations of DWD customers for Adult Day Care and Boarding for your dogs!

Your pup's fur is conditioned daily by the Pack Leader with a terrific-smelling between-bath conditioner, available locally at Petco.

Your pup's ears are cleaned weekly by the Pack Leader with a great product, available locally at Brackett Street Veterinary Clinic. It's called Corium 20 and is made by Virbac, a vet supply house. Ask your own vet to stock it for you!
