Our Brand Story
Yuppie Puppy, opened by Joseph Sporn on the Upper West Side of New York City in 1987, was the first dog daycare center to offer off-leash playtime and structured socialization for dogs in a supervised and safe environment. This was a groundbreaking concept at the time, as dog owners previously had limited options for caring for their pets while they were at work or away. Yuppie Puppy’s success led to the development of the modern dog daycare industry, which now includes a wide range of services and facilities across the country.
In addition to founding the first dog daycare center, Joseph Sporn is also known for his invention of the Sporn Harness. The Sporn Harness is a patented no-pull harness for dogs that is designed to reduce pulling and improve control during walks. The Sporn Harness has received widespread recognition and has been featured in several media outlets, including The Wall Street Journal and Good Morning America. It is just one example of Joseph Sporn’s innovative ideas and contributions to the pet industry.

Our Journey with Walmart
In 1994, our founder Joe Sporn attended a trade show with a unique approach. Bringing along his beloved dog, Joe demonstrated the effectiveness of our products in a compelling before-and-after presentation. Among the captivated audience was Don Soderquist, the Senior Vice Chairman of Walmart at the time. Impressed by the dramatic results on Joe's dog, Don immediately directed that our products be stocked in Walmart stores.
This pivotal moment marked the beginning of a flourishing relationship with Walmart. For three decades, we have proudly partnered with Walmart, bringing our high-quality products to customers nationwide. Our commitment to excellence and affordability has ensured that we continue to offer our products at discounted prices through Walmart, making them accessible to pet owners everywhere. Our journey with Walmart is a testament to the power of innovation, passion, and a shared dedication to enhancing the lives of pets and their owners.
