his help, they upgraded computer systems to the latest
technology, even giving an online portal to their now 1850
plus training and/or boarding clients.
The training center soon became so busy it was turning
away clients for Doggie Daycare. The retail store could only
hold a handful of items and they knew people needed a viable
option to the big box stores.
The time was right to expand. Led by Corey, they opened
their new facility in Miramar Beach. It is located on Highway
98 just east of Silver Sands Premium Outlets. It has 5,000
sq-ft of space, equally divided between retail and Doggie
Daycare. It also has a fenced yard that offers another 4,000
sq-ft of play space.
What’s Up Dog? believes you must also invest in the
community that invests in you. They are supporters of South
Walton High School sports programs, and offer their facility
to Walton County Animal Shelter each month to hold an
adoption event, inside, out of the elements. Our area has the
highest concentration of Veterans suffering from PTSD and
Traumatic Brain Injury in the country. Last year, Steve and
his family started Pawsitive Love Foundation to raise funds
in order to procure, train, and place properly trained Service
Dogs with Veterans, and children with Autism and Epilepsy.
In just one year they have placed 12 dogs. These dogs require
the specialized training that What’s Up Dog? offers. You
should consider joining this family in their mission to help.
We are glad to have them on the Emerald Coast, supporting
our community.
