Clay makes a pretty good painter (with close supervision!)
It's been a couple of weeks since we gave you an update on our new place, not because we haven't been making any progress, but because we have been too busy making progress to give updates! ( not to mention participating in the St Patrick's day parade, having a full house with spring break boarders, and all our regular classes and private lessons!)
We are SO excited about the things that have been going on over at 710 SW Gage and we hope you will be too! We are confident (we hope!) in scheduling an official Open House next Friday April 5th! It will be a come and go event that will allow current clients and potential customers to see our new location, check out some of the new merchandise we will be carrying, enjoy some refreshments, and sign up for a chance to win some prizes!
This event is open to the public and will be from 3 p.m.-8 p.m. so please stop by and see us, it would mean a lot to us to see your support of our new venture!

New paint color, curtains and chalkboards!
Well, we FINALLY got all the painting done except for little touch up pieces once we get everything else done. We really hope you enjoy the colors we have picked out, some of our clients who have already stopped by have used the words calm and relaxing to describe them. We hope the dogs think so too! We also finally decided what to do with those mirrors that a previous tenant glued to the wall. We painted them with chalkboard paint and made new wood frames for them (frames are not on them yet in this picture) and we think they will turn out great and will be a perfect place to let you know about current deals on our merchandise! Gone also are the faded blue curtains replaced by the orange curtains you see pictured (Spice is the color they are described as by Bed Bath and Beyond).
It's all coming together!
The front reception desk is nearly finished, lacking only a clear coat finish on it's new paint. We also acquired a very cool old chalkboard that will hang behind the desk detailing upcoming classes and seminars that are available! Also better seen in this picture is the new carpet for the front room!
Our lending library! Come check out a book!
In additon to merchandise, we will have a lending library of books and dvd's we have available on many different dog training topics. Topics range from general obedience and puppy training to scent work, agility, and reactive dogs materials and a few dog magazines featuring great articles. We even have older dog training books that may even qualify as antiques and are interesting to read! This service will be free to anyone who is currently enrolled in lessons or classes! If you have any dog training books that you are no longer using and would like to donate them to the lending library we would gladly take them!
Tru took her job as taste tester seriously!
We are also very excited to offer Topeka high quality pet food brands and treats that are not currently available in our area! We have met with a distributor and "Tru" did a grueling taste test and selection process (it was hard work but somebody had to do it!) and we have come up with a line of products that we think your dog will love! All the foods we will be carrying are 4-5 star foods in terms of quality. Here are some of the brands we will be offering a small selection of:
Nutrisource
Acana
Primal Pet Foods Freeze Dried
Petcurean NOW!
We will also be carrying a selection of treats, leashes, and other pet products as well as partnering with Furever Friends Pet Supply who will also be offering some merchandise in our store!
The training room still needs some work in the next week including putting in the rubber flooring that will be comfortable on your dogs feet and give them great traction in class (and give YOU traction too!). The training room will also have tethers that will allow you to have your hands free of the leash while working with your dog in class which will help with the juggling of treats, leash and clicker! We hope to have those in by the open house but may not have them completed just yet.
If you are planning to attend our Open House, please let us know you are coming so we know how many refreshments to plan for! We can't wait to show you our new place!
