About Us
Who We Are
We are dog professionals operating a dog business. Many of the newer dog businesses around are "just business" for their owners. This is our life! We live, eat, and sleep dogs!
Our mission is to provide the safest, most comfortable, most caring and stress-free environment for your dog.
Whether they are learning to be a better companion in our family-friendly dog training classes, or getting a spa treatment in our pet salon, we will make every effort to ensure your dog enjoys their experience with as little stress as possible.
When you bring your dog here, our goal is for you to feel that you are providing the very best for your dog. We offer the best dog training in Toledo and the best grooming in Toledo. When your dog leaves, our goal is for them to be a better dog and want to come back!
