Hound Happiness

Friday, April 1st, 2011

We all love to get away from the hustle and bustle of our daily lives and slip away for some rest and don’t forget pampering.  Now however our favorite four legged companions can do so as well.  The Urban Hound Hotel on Malden St in Boston, aids in a worry free vacation.  Even if you are not getting away at the moment, but do feel like your dog isn’t getting enough exercise while you’re in the office, the Urban Hound offers a great dog walking program.  With different options available and the choice of group or individual walks, your pup will be prancing with happiness.  The same employee at the Urban Hound Hotel will also walk your dog each time, so your dog won’t have to adapt to a new person during every stroll.
If you are just getting a new puppy and still sweating the housebreaking, the Urban Hound Hotel offers puppy kindergarten.  A six-week program that has classes that aid in housebreaking, proper socialization, handling exercises, and preventing bad habits.
To learn more about all these amazing programs and to see the new 8500 square foot hotel that offers the latest in animal care innovations and technologies. Join the Urban Hound Hotel staff on April 1st 2011, for their grand opening champagne toast from 5-8.  If you can’t make it, all weekend they are having tours of the facility from 10-4.
