Hey there, Pleasant Dogs. Long time no write. That’s because we’ve been so busy growing! This year we’ve already added a new trainer (and rumor has it another is on the way). With all the demand for our services, we finally took the plunge and signed the lease on our very own bricks and mortar facility. Our new shop will be located at Wealthy and Barth S.E. and includes the barber shop you see above, plus a lot for dog exercise and classes. The facility will allow us to see more dogs, train more people, and even have more community events. The best part? We’re planning on a small doggy daycare at the facility. You read that right.
To get this bad boy off the ground, we need your help. So, we’ve launched an Indiegogo campaign to help us raise funds to fence in the yard, outfit the shop with dog friendly rubber flooring, add furniture, paint, and sundries. Wanna help, go here to donate: Indiegogo . We’ve got some great perks for those who donate. Wanna help but short on cash? Please share our campaign and help us spread the Pleasant!
We’ll be shooting a video and adding more news about the shop soon. In the meantime, we wish you…
Happy training, Pleasant Dogs!
If you're overwhelmed and have tried everything, know that you are not alone. Forgive yourself for trying anything one can to help a beloved dog and instead try our gentle, science-based approach. Our dogs teach us skill, empathy, gratitude, and excellence — and at A Pleasant Dog, we're proud to share these lessons with you.
A Pleasant Dog acknowledges and honors the land on which we teach, which belongs to the Odawa and Peoria peoples. We encourage our students to also honor these lands and the Odawa and Peoria communities by learning about and contributing to the preservation of their culture. The Grand River Band of Ottawa Indians in particular has been petitioning for Federal recognition of their status for over 30 years. We encourage you to support their efforts here: Grand River Bands of Ottawa Indians
