We’ve had a great week here at Puppy Manners! Summer has finally arrived in Seattle and we could not be happier! We broke out the kiddie pools (for our playin’ pups!) and Dave’s favorite cooking appliance—the barbecue! We had a fun holiday weekend with our family and even got to celebrate the Fourth with our friend, Anniemarie Kaighin, aka  “My Puppy Nanny.” To top things off, we received our copy of 425Magazine in the mail this week only to discover we were named “Best Dog Trainer” in their “Best of 425″ issue! Even more surprising is how we were the runner up for “Best Doggie Day Care” since that’s a service we don’t advertise because of our limited space!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, to all our friends and clients who voted! We are thrilled to have been spotlighted, especially on this side of Seattle! We don’t take this recognition lightly and will continue to strive to be the #1 Dog Trainers in this area code and beyond!

In other news, we’ve got some exciting blog posts coming your way, including some of the following:

• Training tip! Jumping! Is there a little too much pep in your pup’s step? How to recognize the behavior, stop it, and prevent it altogether!
• Feature! Our dog “Bloo!” and his incredible story that would make him one of “our” dogs.
• Reading with Rover at the Strawberry Festival! Did you attend the Strawberry Festival in Bellevue last month? We were there with our favorite children’s literacy program Reading with Rover, 425Magazine‘s runner up for “Best After School Program”! If you had your picture taken with a RWR dog, the gallery will be posted here on the blog on July 15th! Don’t miss it!

Thanks for tuning in! And thank you, 425 residents, for voting us #1!
