"Positive Playcare"

This is the gospel that the wonderful folks at Your Dog's Best Friend preach.  It's more than just an indoor dog park.  It's grooming, boarding, training, and doggie daycare.  Located right near Potomac Yards, YDBF offers a great opportunity for you and your perrito/a.

We brought our little prince in for some much needed doggie daycare, as we are expecting another permanant houseguest very soon.  Paul, the owner, walked us through the orientation process and before we knew it, our dog was romping around playing with the other dogs having an awesome time!  All of the boarding and daycare is cageless, so there is no guilt about crating your dog up all day.

They offer a HUGE indoor and outdoor facility with fun toys and things to keep your dog occupied, along with a highly trained friendly staff.  The rates are a bit steep, but wouldn't you want the best for your best friend?

Our dog Moses has been going to YDBF since we adopted him about 4 months ago.  We were apprehensive at first, as his previous owners had said he did not get along with other dogs and trust issues, but we could see that this was a kind-hearted dog in need of lots of love and attention!

Before we adopted him, we emailed the good people at YDBF and they were very supportive and responsive, guiding us through his adoption and adjustment to our home even before we were clients.  We took him in to meet with Paul and the crew and they were amazing during his orientation and helped him get to know the other dogs in the group gradually and with lots of TLC and encouragement from the trainers.

When we came to pick him after that first "orientation" day and he was SO excited.  It was clear that he had had a life changing experience in there and was thrilled to have all these new canine & human friends.  We've been taking him 3 days a week ever since and he's become completely comfortable, calm and respectful around other dogs, and he practically jumps out of his skin when we ask him if he wants to go to "school" in the morning.  We are SO happy to have found such a great place for him and to have him so happy!!

His own actions might be the greatest testament to Your Dog's Best Friends' credit...The other night he had gotten out of our fenced in backyard and gotten lost in the neighborhood.  We were terrified and frantically trying to find him when the overnight boarding trainer from YDBF called us at home.  Moses had found his way to YDBF and was sitting outside the door, wagging his tail and ready to play!  We are SO lucky to have a place like this in our neighborhood, and so glad that Mo likes it so much, he seeks it out himself!  But we're looking into getting a better fence anyway.

There is not enough good we can say about Your Dog's Best Friend.  They are great at what they do and have made Moses so happy...we are so grateful!  I'm SURE you'll be too.
