Hello Canine Friends!

Welcome to Heart of the Hound—where canine care is rooted in compassion, backed by science sprinkled with leadership.

This blog is the beginning of a journey years in the making: creating a space where dogs thrive emotionally, socially and behaviorally—and where their humans feel supported every step of the way.

Heart of the Hound isn’t just a daycare. It’s a learning environment, a dog school for dogs & humans, as well as a celebration of every dog’s unique story and personality. Whether your pup is a confident retriever, a sensitive shepherd or a goofy doodle, we tailor our approach to meet their needs with empathy and expertise, through bond and guidance.

Here on the blog, you’ll find training tips, updates to our launch, breed spotlights, and stories that make you laugh, learn, and maybe tear up a little (in the best way). We’ll also share insights into canine psychology, enrichment ideas and how we build trust with even the most sensitive and complex rescues.

Thank you for being here. Whether you’re a dog parent, fellow trainer, or just a fan of wagging tails, we’re glad to have you in the group.

Stay tuned—and stay curious.
