                Letter from the owner 

Happy Summer, Vashon!
It’s a beautiful season to head out with our dogs—on the trails, to the beach, and into the flow of island life. 

This summer, all of our Laughing Dogs families are welcome to join our ongoing group classes, held Sundays at 10 AM.

Classes are open to all ages and focus on real-life socialization.
Each class includes a guided playtime specifically for:
– Puppies under six months old
– Small dogs up to 18 months old
This is a chance for young dogs to practice appropriate open-play, read body language, and develop strong social skills in a safe, well-managed space.

Folks wanting to join mid-session are absolutely welcome to do so. After a private lesson, you can jump right in at a prorated cost.
We’re also offering masters-level classes focused on off-leash work.
​

If you’re interested in joining one of these advanced sessions, just send us a quick text.
.Remember—you are your dog’s favorite prize. Share yourself often. Engage in play.
Tell your dog I said hi!
