🎄 Stressed? Your Dog Can Tell. Let’s Chill Together. 🐾
"The holiday season doesn’t just stress you out—your dog feels it too. From chaotic doorbells to the scent of new decorations, it's sensory overload. Plus, did you know that dogs can mirror human stress? If you’re wound up, your dog can sense that tension, leading to unexpected behavior issues. Let’s make sure the only thing getting chewed on is the holiday treats, not the tree! 🌲

Better Dog took over Riverain Park in Ottawa to give our reactive dogs a shot at something big—real-world training with a real community. For these dogs, it wasn’t just any walk in the park. This was about facing those challenges that have you tiptoeing down country roads or waiting till dark to avoid every other dog out there.

Led by Jon and Nancy, we got right to it. Dog owners worked shoulder to shoulder, teaching their pups how to handle the world around them without losing their cool. One by one, each dog found that calm spot, and when they did, Jon and Nancy helped them join the group, step by step. Suddenly, dogs who’d been dodging trouble their whole lives were out there, striding along with a new confidence.

This wasn’t just a training session—it was a turning point. From hiding in the shadows to walking tall in the open, every dog and their person left Riverain Park a little braver and a lot more connected.

🍁 Fall Walk Realities: It’s Not Just About the Crunchy Leaves! 🍁
"Imagine this: your dog spots a pile of crunchy leaves—irresistible, right? But what if those leaves hide more than just earthy scents? From camouflaged hazards (sharp objects, anyone?) to toxic mushrooms and sneaky wildlife scents, autumn walks are a sensory overload for your dog. 🍂

Share your top fall walking challenges with us in the comments below, and let’s help each other keep our pups safe this season!

🍂🐾 Leaf-Chasing Instincts: Unleash the Fun This Fall! 🐾🍂

Have you noticed your furry friend going a bit wild with the falling leaves lately? 🍁 It's not just playful mischief—it's Leaf-Chasing Instincts at work!

What Happens:
As autumn arrives, the abundance of colorful falling leaves transforms your yard or local park into a natural playground for dogs. Many pups love to romp and play amidst the vibrant foliage, turning every leaf into a new adventure!

Crazy Fact:
Some dogs exhibit an almost obsessive compulsion to chase and bury leaves. 🐕✨ This behavior is deeply rooted in their ancestral instincts to hunt and forage. The rustling and movement of leaves trigger a high-energy response, leading to hours of playful activity that can be both entertaining and, let's be honest, a bit exhausting for pet owners!

Why They Love It:

Instinctual Fun- Tapping into their natural hunting and foraging behaviors.
Sensory Stimulation- The sound and sight of falling leaves are irresistible triggers.
Exercise - A fantastic way for high-energy dogs to burn off excess energy.

Tips for Pet Owners:
Safety First - Ensure the area is free from harmful chemicals or sharp objects hidden in the leaves.
Interactive Play - Engage with your dog by throwing leaves or setting up little treasure hunts.
After-Play Care - Regularly check for any debris in their paws and provide fresh water after playtime.

🚨 Voici Gonzo! 🚨

Gonzo est un magnifique Braque Allemand pure race de 2 ans qui cherche un nouveau foyer. 🐾 Ce jeune mâle stérilisé et vacciné est rempli de vie, d’énergie et d’enthousiasme! Il a une énergie débordante et serait aux anges dans une maison avec beaucoup d’espace pour courir et jouer—pensez à un grand terrain, et il sera au paradis. 🌳

Gonzo est très excité et souffre d’un peu d’anxiété, donc il a besoin d’un foyer qui comprend bien les chiens très actifs et qui pourra lui offrir la structure et la patience qu’il mérite. Les foyers avec enfants ne sont pas recommandés pour l’instant. Il a eu des incidents de morsure, mais les morsures sont explicables, et nous sommes convaincus qu’avec le bon environnement, Gonzo pourra s’épanouir.

La MEILLEURE nouvelle? Better Dog s’engage à soutenir la famille pour toujours de Gonzo avec une année complète de soutien à domicile gratuit! Nous voulons nous assurer que Gonzo trouve le foyer parfait et soit bien encadré pour réussir. 🙌

Si vous pensez que Gonzo pourrait être un bon compagnon pour vous—ou si vous connaissez quelqu’un qui pourrait l’accueillir—n’hésitez pas à nous contacter! Et n’oubliez pas de partager ce post pour aider ce gentil chien à trouver son foyer pour la vie! ❤️

Offrons à Gonzo le nouveau départ qu’il mérite! 🐶✨

🚨 Meet Gonzo! 🚨

Gonzo is a beautiful 2-year-old purebred German Shorthair Pointer who needs a new home. 🐾 This neutered, vaccinated boy is full of life, energy, and spirit! He’s got an endless supply of enthusiasm and would thrive in a home with space to roam and play—think big yard, and he’s in heaven. 🌳

Gonzo is excitable and has some anxiety, so he needs a home that understands high-energy dogs and can give him the structure and patience he deserves. Homes with children are not appropriate at this time. He has bitten, and the bites can be explained, we’re confident that the right environment will help him flourish.

The BEST part? Better Dog is committed to supporting Gonzo’s forever family with a full year of in-home training support—free of charge! We want to ensure Gonzo finds his perfect match and is set up for success. 🙌

If you think Gonzo might be the right fit for your home—or know someone who might—please reach out to us. And don’t forget to share this post to help this sweet guy find his forever home! ❤️

Let’s give Gonzo the fresh start he deserves! 🐶✨

Reason #3 for getting a puppy for your family (as if you need more!):
Enhances Emotional Development
Puppies provide unconditional love and companionship, which can help children develop emotional intelligence. Caring for a dog teaches compassion and empathy, as children learn to recognize and respond to the needs of their puppy
