12/13/25 Update
The remodeling project is going as planned. The building we’ve purchased was previously occupied by 4 different tenants. We’re doing the work to modify the interior to fit our needs. WAGD will occupy the entire building. We’ll have two training rings, a day school area and a retail shop with our front desk. The building is smaller than our current Frisco space, but we’re thrilled to own the building (versus leasing) and are excited to make the changes needed to make it the perfect fit for WAGD!
We’re looking very much on track for classes and day school starting up there in Spring. We’ll publish dates and start enrolling for the classes there as we get farther along in the construction project. In the meantime, please keep visiting us in Frisco where we’ll be conducting classes and Great Dog Day School right up to the move date! Scroll down to see the latest photos from the construction project.
Original Announcement
We’re thrilled to announce the next chapter for What a Great Dog! We’ve purchased a building in Richardson, near beautiful Cottonwood Park (near Coit and Beltline), and we can’t wait to create an amazing new space for our clients and their pups! More details will be coming soon as our remodeling project progresses. We are anticipating the move to be Spring 2026. In the meantime, it’s business as usual in Frisco! We’ll remain at our current location while renovations are underway in Richardson. All classes, lessons, and sessions — as well as our retail store — will continue in Frisco until further notice.
While we’re incredibly excited about this move, we do have two bittersweet updates: our new facility will not include Barn Hunt or Flyball due to space constraints. We are working closely with our talented Barn Hunt instructors to help them offer opportunities independently of WAGD. We’ll share those details as they become available.
We promise to keep you well-informed and to provide plenty of notice when it’s time to move to our new, permanent home. Thank you for being such an important part of the WAGD community — your support means the world to us. We can’t wait to welcome you and your pups to our new home in Richardson! 🐾
