Pawsitive Pooch has a new home!

We are SO excited to announce we officially have the keys in hand for our new facility, located just ten minutes away from our original daycare space! Our new daycare & training space is off Hannegan, and offers better parking, more play space for our larger dogs, a bigger lobby, and even space for retail! Address announcement will happen soon.

There is a lot of work to do to get our new space ready, including painting, building up new areas, decorating, and setting up our new retail lobby space. Some services will be paused or temporarily altered during this transition, and we ask for some grace and patience during this busy time! Please, email us with any questions you have.

We are currently at 39% of our fundraising goal to move, which goes directly to the expense of first/last/deposit to the new space and the cost of new permits. It’s crucial we reach this goal in order to move forward with reopening, and need your support to do ti! Check out our fundraising page, and share with on your social media- many hands make light work! For folks that would rather skip the online fees and make a donation in person, donations can be left at Hannah’s Grooming and Spa (1701 N State Street, Bellingham), or you can reach out via email.

Pawsitive Pooch is on the Move!

We recently learned our landlord will not be renewing our lease for our State Street location, which means Pawsitive Pooch will be relocating in April. Unfortunately this will cause some disruption in services while we transition, including a temporary pause on daycare starting mid April. We are doing our best to minimize the disruption, including offering alternative walking services & home visits, walk & trains, and play dates in the meantime. For more info on these services, please email us!

Our Puppy Prep Academy will temporarily move to Monday’s with extended hours at Hannah’s grooming Salon & Spa, just two doors down from our original daycare location, and our group classes will also continue in this location until we are fully moved in & our permits updated with the city of Bellingham. For more info on the changes for Puppy Prep send us an email.

We are so excited to continue our journey in a new space, and are so grateful for all the support and encouragement we’ve received along the way. If you would like to help support our move, please visit our campaign fundraiser and help us reach our goal!

NEW LOCATION!

Super exciting news!

We are opening a new location SOON, at 1703 N State St, in Bellingham!

We will be in the Keystone Plaza building, right next to Bellingham Pet Supply, Lock and Safe, Kulshan CrossFit, and Perch and Play.

Our new training studio will offer group and private lessons for puppies and adult dogs, as well as workshops, seminars, and FREE puppy socials three times a week!

Our grand opening is set for October 5th, 11am-6pm, so swing by to grab a treat, meet the trainer, and enter a raffle fundraiser for Rescued Hearts Northwest.

Friendly, leashed dogs and well behaved humans are encouraged to stop by.

Brewery Manners classes starting soon!

We are thrilled to announce that we’re teaming up with local favorite, Kulshan Brewing Co, to host a new series of classes- Drinking With Your Dog (tm) Brewery Manners!

Starting August 15th, our Brewery Manners class will take your your dog’s basic skills to the next level, helping them become a great brewery buddy. Classes are taught in a brewery, focusing on all the essential skills for being a great brewery guest- skills like settling under a table, focusing around distractions, NOT stealing your beer, and more!

Classes meet for one hour each week for four week’s, in K2’s Keg Garden (Kentucky St location). Due to the restrictions of this location, this first series is 21+ only. Classes open to younger family members are in the works, so check back often for updates.

Prerequisites for the class include completion of one basic manners class, proof of vaccines, and a dog that is both generally dog and people friendly.

Class space is limited, so sign up now to reserve your spot.
