The Stylin’ Paws “Ultimate Stay” Contest
Can your dog “Stay’? Really, really “Stay”? If so, you might have the 2021 winner of The Stylin’ Paws Ultimate Stay Contest. It’s a test of will and obedience and as we have the handlers put their dogs in a “Stay” command, then we start adding distractions. Rolling tennis balls, treats, noises, and all the while moving the handlers farther from the dogs.
Stylin’ Paws is a perfect partner for this contest because they offer your pet the “Ultimate Stay” when at the Stylin’ Paws Salon and Day Stay! BIG NEWS! They’re expanding! The top competitors this year will win different membership levels to their new off-leash indoor dog park set to open this winter!
Here are this year’s Prizes!!
First Place: 6 month membership to dog park($294 value)
Second Place: 2 month membership to dog park($98 value)
Third Place: 1 month membership to dog park($49 value)
It’s not just a full-service pet salon, but it’s also a dog daycare facility that’s dedicated to consistently providing high customer satisfaction with excellent service, quality pet care, and a fun, clean, enjoyable atmosphere.
Stylin’ Paws has also recently expanded into the retail world. Their retail area focuses on health-conscious pet parents and those who seek out unique high-quality products not found in large retail stores. Their product assortment includes a selection of stylish dog collars, luxurious dog beds, the highest quality all-natural food and treats, cool and funny dog toys, ‘mutts’ more.
Stylin’ Paws understand that the grooming experience is made up if three key components:
- The Stylist
- The Pet
- The Pet Owner
Each of these components must be respected and appreciated by the facility owners and management for a positive experience to take place. These factors are important parts of the overall experience and Stylin’ Paws truly believes to have found a “better way” to positively impact all involved. Let your pet receive the Ultimate Stay and see for yourself the Stylin’ Paws difference

Trick Training
Trick training is a break away from the ordinary and a way to relax and have fun with your dog again. Tricks are challenging both mentally and physically. Just like people, most dogs love learning new things and it helps keep them young. Canine Craze will be offering Trick Training sessions where you can join with or without your dog. Allowing the dog choices and having fun are two keys to success when training! We will break these tricks down into small manageable chunks helping you and your dog be successful.
