The
responsibility of owning a dog goes far beyond feeding and walking him.
This four legged creature is a part of the family unit and needs to be
considered when making family decisions. At Downtown Dogs we strive to
build lasting relationships between the dogs we care for and their
human caretakers. Towards that goal, we are proud to offer a variety of
seminars throughout the year to help strengthen that bond.
