Water Safety Tips from our certified trainers 👌

Splashing is fun, but safety comes first! 🌊

​Summer is heating up, and while we love watching our pups cool off, water safety is a team effort. Whether you’re hanging out at the splash zones or heading out to the river, keep these 4 golden rules in mind:

​Watch the Intake: Biting at hoses or splashing water is fun, but gulping too much water too fast can lead to water intoxication (hyponatremia). Take frequent breaks!

​Fresh Bowls Only: Keep your pup away from stagnant puddles or heavy communal water sharing. Make sure your pup has access to a fresh, clean bowl of cold water at all times.

​Know Your Swimmer: Heavy-chested or short-nosed pups tire out incredibly fast. Consider a life jacket with a sturdy handle—it's fashionable and a lifesaver.

​Eyes on Your Pack: Distractions happen when we're socializing! Remember to keep an active eye on your dog even during casual water play. You are your dogs ultimate lifeguard.

​Want to prep your pup's water manners? Ask about our Kearney Dog Bar Training sessions to master "Leave It" and focus skills around heavy distractions! 👇

🐾 Big Things Are Brewing (and Barking)! 🐾

​Hey Kearney community! We’ve been seeing all of your excitement, and we just wanted to drop a quick update on Kearney’s newest dog bar.

​Right now, we are still fully in the development phase. Building a dream space for you and your pups takes a lot of behind-the-scenes work, and honestly, a lot can change between now and opening day! We ask for just a little bit of patience with us as we navigate the twists and turns of making this space perfect.

​That being said... your feedback has been everything.
​We asked what you wanted to see, and you delivered! We have taken your ideas, your wish lists, and your feedback and completely ran with them. This space is being built for you, by you, and we can’t wait to show you how your input is shaping our final plans.

​Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes updates as we move forward. We’ve got some incredible things in the works! 👇

​What's the #1 thing you're most excited for? Let us know in the comments!

Our hearts are still full from reading your stories. 🌈✨

​We’ve been just beginning the plans for our Rainbow Bridge Memorial—the permanent sanctuary at the Kearney Dog Bar dedicated to the pups who have crossed over.

​Partnering with K9 Rescue Freekz allows us to turn our shared grief into hope, with a portion of all memorial tag proceeds going straight to helping local shelter dogs.
​We want to keep the love flowing while construction gets underway!

You shared photos of your "heart dog" & we made a video below. Check it out.

Tell us your favorite thing to do with your bestie. Let's fill the feed with their memories today!

​Kearney, we are so excited to bring the Kearney Dog Bar to life. We want to make sure it’s exactly what you (and your pups) have been dreaming of.

​Whether you’re looking for a spot to escape the Nebraska weather or a social hub for your dog’s zoomies, we want your input!

​What would make this your favorite spot in town?

​Specific drink or snack requests? (What’s your go-to local brew or snack?)

​Themed event ideas? (Breed meetups, "Pups & Pilates," or maybe some trivia?)

​Specific amenities? (Self-wash stations, "work-from-park" Wi-Fi zones, or dedicated puppy areas?)

🐾 THANK YOU, KEARNEY! 🐾
​Wow, we are absolutely blown away by the incredible response, amazing feedback, and pure energy you all brought to our last post! 🥹❤️ From the love for the sleek, modern design to the requests for vibrant pops of color, you’ve given us so much inspiration for Kearney Dog Bar.

​We heard you loud and clear: you want a space that is clean, functional, safe, and above all, full of good vibes for the whole pack! 🐶✨

​🪵 What’s Next? 🗺️

​Now that we have a better idea of what our community wants, it’s time to move past the AI concepts and get to work on the real thing! We are thrilled to share that we will be partnering with a local architect to bring these ideas to life. 📐🏗️

​Working with a local team means we can take all of your amazing feedback and intentionally design a truly premier space tailored specifically for Kearney dog owners and their besties.

​We are just getting started, and we promise to take you along for the ride every step of the way—from blueprints to the grand opening!

​Thank you for dreaming big with us. Kearney's pups are about to have the ultimate hangout spot! 🥂🐕

The rumors are true—Kearney Dog Bar is in the works, and we are on a mission to create the ultimate hangout spot where there are truly good vibes for the whole pack! 🙌

​To get our creative juices flowing, we’ve been playing around with some design concepts. Please note: These photos are AI-generated just to help us brainstorm color schemes, layout ideas, and overall energy—we won't necessarily have every single feature pictured here in the final design!

​That’s where YOU come in. We want to build this space for our community, so we need your feedback:

​✨ What’s Your Vibe? ✨

​Option A (Sleek & Modern): Do you prefer a cleaner, more minimalist look with rich wood accents, polished concrete, and a cozy, upscale lounge feel?

​Option B (Vibrant & Playful): Or are you all about big pops of color, bright murals, neon energy, and a whimsical, high-powered playground atmosphere?

​💬 Drop a comment below and tell us:
​Which photo matches the vibe you’d want to hang out in?
​What is the one thing you (or your pup) absolutely need to see at Kearney Dog Bar?

​Let’s build the perfect spot for Kearney's finest four-legged friends and their humans. Tag your fellow dog parents and let us know your thoughts! 👇

Today, we raise a glass (and a paw) to honor and remember the brave heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸❤️

​We are incredibly grateful for the brave service members and the dedicated military working dogs who have stood by their sides throughout history.

​We are looking forward to a big big week this week on the dog bar build!!! Stay tuned & make sure you enjoy the freedom they fought so hard to protect. 🐾✨
