cage-free canine community doggie daycare boarding training

A day at The Watering Bowl Doggy Daycare & Boarding may look like a whole lot of running, playing and slobbering, but it’s also a lot of learning, leading and following. Our cage-free environment fosters healthy socialization and allows dogs to pick up positive behavioral cues from the pack. It may also lead to a nice little nap on the way home.

In fact, more water fell in eight hours than we’ve received in an entire day, going back all the way to 1915. Naturally, this storm has affected many of our neighbors, customers, friends and family across the…

UPGRADE EDITION Okay, we’ll admit it: Your dog probably won’t notice most of our improvements. But we hope everything we’re doing will make drop-off and pick-up quicker and easier for you so your pooch can spend even more time running, chasing and nuzzling their friends.

At The Watering Bowl, we’re kind of like part-time red carpet photographers, capturing the most fabulous dogs at their most fabulous-ness-est. Now, we’re looking to increase quality, at the cost of a bit of quantity. That means we won’t always feature your dog—but when we do, that portrait will be worthy of prime placement on…
