When the Holiday Ends, The Fun Doesn't ✨ TownHouse News - All Recent Emails

Happy Fourth of July

As we celebrate Independence Day and America's 250th birthday, all of us at TownHouse wish you, your family, and your furry companions a safe, happy holiday filled with sunshine, relaxation, and plenty of tail wags (and purrs!).

TownHouse will be closed on Saturday, July 4, for drop-offs and pick-ups. Overnight stays during the holiday week require a two-night minimum.

Once the fireworks fade, we'll keep the summer fun rolling with plenty of playtime, enrichment, splashes in the pool, and lots of love and attention. Take a look at what we have planned for our guests next week!

Fireworks & Four-Legged Friends

For many of us, fireworks are the grand finale of the Fourth of July. For our pets... not so much.

The loud booms and flashing lights can be confusing or even scary, so it's best to keep dogs and cats safely indoors during the festivities. If possible, help your pup burn off a little extra energy with a long walk, a game of fetch, or plenty of playtime before the fireworks begin. A tired dog is often a calmer dog. Close the windows, turn on the TV or some soft music, and create a cozy space where they can relax. It's also a great time to double-check that collars, ID tags, and microchip information are up to date, just in case.

With a little planning, everyone can enjoy a safe and happy holiday. And if your pet's favorite way to celebrate America is sleeping through the fireworks, we completely understand!

Dog Enrichment Activities

Schedule a balance of learning and fun in your pup's days at Town House! These activities can be added to your dog's daycare or boarding stays, and will be handled by our staff.

Monday, July 6 — Mighty Monday Challenge: Perch Pipe & Park It!
Pups will balance on the peanut, race through the tunnel, and finish with a picture-perfect sit/stay. It's a fun challenge that combines movement with self-control.

Tuesday, July 7 — Training Tuesday: The Perfect Pace Partnership
Ready to turn pulling into polite strolling? Sign your pup up for a one-on-one session with our trainer as we strengthen leash manners and build a better connection on the other end of the leash. This is a one-on-one 15-minute session, but if there's something your dog needs to work on, please let us know, and we can easily incorporate it into your pup's regular daycare or boarding stay. We'll also have our Woofle (doggy waffle) add-on available.

Wednesday, July 8 — Agility Enrichment: Ultimate Agility Course
For Agility Enrichment, we’ll set up a challenging agility course designed to keep pups moving, thinking, and having fun as they navigate a variety of obstacles and activities.

Thursday, July 9 — Crafty Canines: Bark-cardi Beach Bar
Vacation mode: activated! Our pups will pose at a tropical tiki bar complete with bamboo décor, beachy props, and laid-back island vibes worthy of a postcard. It's the perfect way to showcase your pup living the good life. We’ll text you a digital copy of the edited photo to share or use as your wallpaper.

Friday, July 10 — Gym Class Friday: Tennis Baseball
Batter up! The pups will combine tennis rackets and baseball-inspired games for a morning of active fun, teamwork, and tail wags. It's a home run for dogs who love to run, chase, and play!

Other daily add-ons:

Frozen Peanut Butter Kong
Ice Cream

If your pup would you like to paw-ticipate or if you have any questions about these activities, let us know at drop off, by phone, email or simply add activities from your pet portal.
