• The Dog House. "The Dog House opened in 1995 as LA's first dog daycare center. Our experience benefits dogs of all shapes and sizes! The Dog House staff are experienced handlers who encourage socialization and play for a “dogs’ dog”, or provide compassionate companionship for the more human-oriented dog. The Dog House provides a loving environment for your dog in our unique facility - ample space in which to romp or rest with natural light, fresh air and friendly faces.
  
  Please bring your dog to visit us once before his first day of daycare or grooming. Your dog will be more confident staying with us after being greeted by a friendly face, enjoying a dog cookie, and experiencing the sounds and smells on a friendly visit."

• Paradise Ranch Country Club for Dogs. "Originally Paradise Ranch was a typically traditional dog kennel offering extra large indoor/outdoor runs. The facility was attractive, safe, clean and profitable. Paradise Ranch was a success by all of the industry standards.
  
  Why then did the Company want to re-invent the wheel?
  
  In spite of the Company's achievements, we felt something very important was missing. The dogs paced up and down their long runs, barking excessively, begging their guilt-ridden owners not to leave them. The Company's founders knew this behavior was consistent with the best of kennels, but the "members" of Paradise Ranch had to be more than well cared for, they had to be happier for the Company to be satisfied.
  
  Could we break all the rules? Let dogs out of their runs, let them play together and have fun? We dreamed of providing an environment for our members that was more like home. Why not turn the houses on the property into Bed & Biscuit Inns, we brainstormed. Doubts crept in. The kennel industry would shun us. The city would never let us. The cost would be enormous. The dogs pressed their noses against their shiny, chain-link quarters. Their mournful eyes tugging at the very heart and soul of the Company. The dogs gave us the strength to do the impossible.
  
  Against all odds, Paradise Ranch became the first licensed, cage free, home-environment boarding and training facility in the United States. We knew we had arrived when pet owners complained to us, 'My dog didn't even miss me!' At last our 'members' were happy campers. We had listened to our customers, the dogs, and success is so much sweeter now."   
• We Do Doo Doo. "Our service is quite simple. We visit your yard weekly and pick up what your dog has left behind. Basically - 'We do the doo so you don't have to.'"
