Positive Reinforcement Dog Care - in Oakland, CA and the East Bay

A Revolutionary Approach to Dog Care

BlissBound Hound was founded in 2015 with the intention to create a dog care business model designed for the modern era. Today's dogs are family members, not just pets. BlissBound Hound's guiding principle is to provide comfortable, crate and kennel free, positive reinforcement dog care. Our goal is not just to provide individual services, but to help promote the psychological and physical health of your pup, and to enhance you and your dogs' lives.

Building BlissBound Hound meant re-imagining the historical business practices in dog care from the ground up. The traditional kennel model for dog care facilities is rooted both in tradition and financial limitations, but studies over the past couple decades have exposed the negative impacts these business models have on the lives of our dogs. We saw that a key part of the problem was the need to group dogs scientifically by behavior to promote safety and socialization instead of relying on crates, kennels, and tethers. That's why we built our BlissMatch algorithm, a behavior matching tool we use to match dogs in groups of 6 maximum and promote positive learning, socialization, and growth.

From the beginning, BlissBound Hound has sought to use technology tools to solve persistent flaws in the operational models of the dog care industry. In addition to the BlissMatch system, we have a cool client portal (and even an app) to make our services better and more convenient. But BlissBound Hound is a dog care company first, not a technology company pretending to understand professional dog care. We provide a comfortable, home environment for pups and work to build real, lasting relationships with our clients and the pups who become extended parts of our own family. The company's ethos is oriented around the idea that a dog's total wellness is at the center of every solution offered to clients.

We look forward to the opportunity to have you and your furry family members join our pack!
