Getting ready to strut your mutt along King Street, the Potomac waterfront or to one of the many pet-friendly cafés around town? Olde Towne School for Dogs can help you get Fido in polite, obedient shape for your upcoming outings.
Since 1975, owners Carlos and Sandy Mejias have trained over 20,000 dogs and their owners in the areas of education, behavior and instruction. Olde Towne School for Dogs offers a variety of training programs to choose from, including day care, private lessons, off-leash training, and a puppy head start package. Professional grooming services are available, as well.
If you’re looking for specialty pet products, the retail store at Olde Towne School for Dogs includes a rich selection of quality pet foods, supplements, toys and attire (even some hard-to-find items such as doggie life vests). They do also have a special section just for felines.
The staff was knowledgeable and friendly during our visit. We’re sure you’ll be impressed, too.

When we heard that one of our Robinson Landing homeowners had founded the ALX Dog Walk to not only raise awareness about sustainable living and reducing plastic use, but also to raise funds to beautify the City of Alexandria and protect its environment, we knew we wanted to learn more and support her efforts. EYA proudly sponsored the 2022 inaugural dog walk, and we’re excited to sponsor the second annual walk on April 29, 2023 in Oronoco Bay Park in Old Town Alexandria (you can register here). And, we have been so impressed with her work that we wanted to share her story. We hope you enjoy the following Q&A with Robinson Landing resident and ALX Dog Walk executive director, Julie Chapman, to hear about her work and learn how you and your pup can participate in this year's walk!
