From Yogi I wasn't…read morealways this proud 150-pound brindle Akita you see today. I was a scared, reactive dog when my human found me. I'd been abused, and later, after finally finding a safe home, someone broke in... and I was beaten again. I don't trust easily. I bark when I feel unsafe. I protect my space fiercely. I need distance from other dogs--not because I don't care, but because I care too deeply and don't know how to show it safely. But my human understood. They walk me on a 6' lead, often shortened to 2'. They sit on the ground beside me when I'm overwhelmed. They give me time, space, and safety to choose connection. That's how I learned how to say: "If I turn sideways and offer my shoulders or my butt... you can touch me." It's not much, but it's my way of saying "I trust you." And Justine listened. On October 4, 2023, Justine became my personal walker once a week. My human told her the truth--every challenge, every warning. She had every reason to walk away. But she didn't. She stayed. She followed my signals. She gave me 15 minutes. Now we do 30-minute walks once a week. She must really love me. Then, on January 2, 2024, I met Laura--and fate stepped in again. I didn't know she worked with Justine. Now I have two amazing humans who take me out twice a week. They get me. They give me time. And I give them my trust. To the anxious pups, the misunderstood cats, the shy reptiles, the quiet rodents hiding under blankets: You are NOT broken You are NOT too much You just need the right people who will wait for you to feel safe I'm Yogi. I'm a 150-pound Protection Fluff with a gentle heart and a rough past. I don't take love lightly--but once I give it, it's forever. Sloppy kisses and steady eyes, --Yogi From Yogi's Human: Yogi came into my life with scars--some I could see, many I couldn't. And while I helped him find safety... he helped me survive too. Watching him grow from panic to patience, from tension to trust, has been the most powerful journey of my life. We have good days, tough ones, and breakthroughs. But we keep going. To Justine and Laura--thank you for stepping into our lives. You didn't just help my dog. You made it possible for me to breathe a little easier too. To everyone walking a reactive pet journey: Progress isn't linear. Love is a process.

My biggest stressor during the coronavirus isolation period was ensuring Stella got enough exercise, especially as she is only 10 months old and does not walk well on a leash. This required me to be creative and it was just stressful as I juggled working from home. I was so excited when Dogtopia Lionhead re-opened and I'm once again confident that my girl is well looked after and is getting enough exercise which gives me a better behaved little girl. Everyone who works here loves dogs and will treat your dog member of the family with love and respect. It's a win-win!!!

Blue was then put in the gym with all the big dogs and loved it from the minute he went in the door. He ran around with the other dogs and on the play equipment. Blue is a retriever and loves to run after the balls they have. The person in the room was very attentive to Blue and all the other dogs. I love having the access to the cameras so I can watch Blue anytime I want. This location is smaller but I find that the employees knew everyone's name, dog and owner, as soon as they walked in the door. I find this more personable and welcoming. Highly recommend this Dogtopia.
