Our Story: A Passion for Paws

Loose Pooch Dog Club was founded by Nathan Woods, a lifelong dog enthusiast and certified professional trainer. What began as a simple passion for canine behavior grew into a vision for a comprehensive care center where dogs could thrive in every aspect of their lives.

Our mission is simple: to be your dog's second home. We provide a safe, stimulating, and loving environment where every dog receives the premium care and expert guidance they deserve.

We combine daycare, professional training, and a curated boutique under one roof on State Street, offering Santa Barbara dog owners a trusted, all-in-one solution for their pet's well-being.
