Just like humans, LA's spoiled pups need a good sweat sesh to appreciate all of that supreme pampering. After outgrowing its Echo Park Boulevard digs, Blue Collar Working Dog is offering even more retail therapy to fitness-obsessed people and their furry friends with the debut of its massive relocated store today.

Tucked away off Glendale Boulevard, the 6,500-square-foot specialty shop is like "an REI meets Whole Foods for active dogs." Expect to find natural and raw foods for felines and canines; adventure-ready accessories and gear for hiking, biking, running, and other activities; training merch for law enforcement pros and sport dog trainers (yup, it's serious here); and a playground-like space for dogs of all sizes.

In addition, the store offers ton of classes, from basic obedience to movie tricks and more. Also in the works is spacious training area next door; once open, the store will land at a total of 13,000 square feet.

Blue Collar Working Dog is open Monday through Friday from 9am to 9pm, Saturday from 9am to 8pm, and Sunday from 10am to 6pm.
