Did you know?


Paws Inn Resort can certify your dog to become a Canine Good Citizen?

What is the Canine Good Citizen (CGC)?

Started in 1989, CGC is a certification program that is designed to reward dogs who have good manners at home and in the community. The Canine Good Citizen Program is a program that stresses responsible pet ownership for owners and basic good manners for dogs. All dogs who pass the 10-step CGC test may receive a certificate from the American Kennel Club (AKC).

Paws Inn Resort's training classes Paws Insight Levels 1 & 2 cover all the areas in the CGC testing for you to have your dog become the well mannered pet that you will enjoy! You can then go on and test for the Canine Good Citizen certification right at Paws Inn on the designated date of testing we set up.

If you have any more questions on the CGC testing or any of our training classes, please call us at 952-353-8006! Also, go to the AKC's website to read more about the CGC at www.akc.org.

Bob-A-Lot


The Bob-A-Lot recently won the bronze award for best new product at the HH Backer Pet Trade Show. It can be filled with treats or food in a top or bottom chamber, and then must be manipulated by the dog's nose or feet to extract the goodies inside. Both the top and bottom chambers feature adjustable openings to regulate the difficulty in which the dog removes the treats. It holds up to three cups of food in a variety of sizes, and is a great way to feed and exercise your dog. The Bob-A-Lot is made from a durable polymer with an anti-slip coating on the bottom. One size is appropriate for dogs of all sizes.
