Exciting News!
Later this month, we’re partnering with Ripon College for a special observational study in our daycare! A group of students and their professor will be joining us to collect data by observing the dogs and recording their body language.
As we know, dogs communicate primarily through body language, so this study will give us valuable insight into what our pups are “communicating” while they’re here at daycare with us. This project is for educational purposes only.
If your dog attends daycare, we will have a consent form for you to sign prior to the study. Participation is completely optional—you’re welcome to opt out if you prefer your dog not be included in data collection.
We’re so excited to collaborate and can’t wait to see what we learn from the results. Thank you to Ripon College for this opportunity!

May Client Highlight: Team Nova
Nova started with an initial consult in 2024 and has since participated in private training, leash manners class, teenage manners class, recall class, Out & About Club, socials, and even some special matchmaking to find the perfect dog pals. She’s also enjoyed wellness boarding and completed Leash Manners & Polite Greetings Level 1—now actively working through Level 2!
This team has been so dedicated, and it truly shows. We’re incredibly proud of the progress they’ve made and how much they’ve grown. Nova is the sweetest girl, and we always love seeing her in class.
