Keep Calm & License Your Dog 🐾 TownHouse News & More - Todos os Emails Recentes

June is Dog Licensing Month

Each June, dog owners across Connecticut take a moment to renew their pup’s license. It’s a simple way to help keep pets safe and healthy. Licensing ensures your dog is up to date on rabies vaccinations and makes it easier to reunite if they ever get lost.

Places like TownHouse are also required by law to keep a record of each dog’s license, so staying current helps things run smoothly for everyone. If you haven’t already, now’s the perfect time to prepare; June is almost here!

For your convenience, here’s a link to Westport’s dog licensing information , including details on new licenses and renewals. If you live in a nearby town, a quick search online should help you find the right info for your area. And of course, if you need a hand, we’re always happy to help!

Crafts, Confidence & Calm Behavior

When people think about dog enrichment, they often picture running, agility, or high-energy play. But slower-paced activities like Crafty Canine Day are just as valuable for building confidence and helping dogs stay calm in new situations.

Simple activities like paw prints, wearing props, and exploring new textures help pups practice patience, focus, and handling tolerance in a positive way. Mental enrichment is just as important as physical exercise, helping dogs become more balanced and adaptable overall.

And of course, the adorable keepsakes are a bonus too.

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.

June 1st Mighty Monday Challenge: Catwalk & Shake On It
Pups will walk the A-frame catwalk, then finish with a proud paw shake at the end. It’s equal parts agility challenge and good manners.

June 2nd Training Tuesday: Recall with Distractions
Does your pup come running when called… or suddenly forget their name the second something exciting happens? This week, we’re strengthening recall by practicing “come when called” around distractions, movement, and other tempting situations. The goal is to help dogs learn that checking in with their handler is always more rewarding than whatever else is going on around them. Perfect for pups who never fully learned the skill or need a refresher. 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.

June 3rd Crafty Canines: Goodie Bags for Good Dogs
Our crafty pups will create adorable custom treat bags perfect for storing training rewards, snacks, or goodies on the go.

June 4th 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.

June 5th Gym Class Friday: Sprinkler Splash Party
Stay cool! We’re breaking out the sprinklers for a water play party full of zoomies, splashes, and summer fun. You may want to have a towel ready because some pups could head home a little soggy.

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.
