Not your average tennis ball...

Did you know most cheaply made tennis balls contain potentially toxic materials such as glass fibres, adhesives and even lead? Because they're made for human sport, they aren't required to be safe for dogs, so they certainly aren't intended for your four-legged friend to chew on and potentially ingest.

They also have a rough, abrasive surface which can act like sandpaper on your dog's teeth - not pleasant for them and not great for their gnashers either.

That's why the KONG SqueakAir® Ball is the perfect alternative because, simply, it's made for dogs. The durable, high-quality SqueakAir® tennis ball will not wear down your dog’s teeth as it’s made with a special non-abrasive felt.

It also features a squeaker to further engage your dog. Get yours here from just £1.29: https://www.thecanineemporium.com/product-page/squeakair-r-ball

Did you know you can clean your KONG Classics in the dishwasher?

Just use an old toothbrush and some washing up liquid first to get out the stubborn bits from the inside, then stick it on the top rack of your dishwasher and voila! Lovely squeaky clean toys.

Look familiar?!

The news can sometimes be a bit doom and gloom when it comes to dogs; however, for those of us that keep them, we know how marvellous they are and we simply wouldn't be without them.

So, to brighten our Sunday morning, please share one of your favourite photos of your dog below! 👇

Honestly...was it really worth the effort 😅

In case you didn't know we're having some building works carried out at our HQ in Barnstaple, from which The Haven and Canine Emporium are run.

Here's my dog Dora keeping a keen eye on the builders to make sure they're not slacking... Helpful as ever!

Why use a long lead in training? For lots of reasons... When you start out training your dog chances are their recall won't be great.

So imagine letting them off the lead and watching as they run, and run, and keep running, straight out of the park or field at the other end. Not the best start to your training session and you'll likely both end up quite stressed.

A long lead allows your dog an element of freedom while you retain some control. We strongly recommend them to our Haven training clients, and we happen to sell them on our shop too.

Available in 2.2m and 10m length and starting at £22.50, these robust leads come in a range of colours and are available here: https://www.thecanineemporium.com/treatstrain

We all know dogs love to play! But, as well as for pure enjoyment, playing with your dog has many other benefits too, such as:

1. It's a great positive reinforcement technique to use when training your dog

2. It offers physical and mental stimulation to beat boredom

3. It's a safe outlet for your dog's natural instincts, such as to chase, tug and use their mouth

4. It boosts their bond with you, further harbouring a healthy, happy relationship with your dog

What's your favourite way to play with your dog?

Well last night was a bit wet down here in Devon! But, with the rain comes the rainbow 🌈

Are you heading out for a muddy walk this morning with your dog?

Okay so he's definitely not scary but he IS orange and that's about as Halloween-y as we can get! 🎃🕷

Give your pups a 'treat' this Halloween with the KONG Tuggz Monkey - a super soft toy with a tough interior rope, making it ideal for tug and toss games.

He's even got crinkly arms and dual squeakers for extra fun and at just £11.50 we think he's a bargain for such an XL toy.

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, or a bed (although we wouldn't recommend that right now...) you've probably heard the news about bed bug infestations creeping their way into the UK.

Once again specially trained dogs are coming to the rescue and being called upon to detect bedbugs in private homes and hotels. Believe it or not, there are firms with dogs trained specifically for this purpose, and a similar approach is used in dogs trained to sniff out drugs and explosives.

Aren't our four-legged friends clever...

Did you know, interactive play does so much more than just entertain your dog?

When you engage properly in one-on-one time with your dog, such as in a game of tug or fetch, you're giving them the chance to bond with their favourite person, i.e. YOU!

It can also help bust boredom which prevents low mood and it can boost cognitive skills and help maintain your dog's focus during training.

Even just a few minutes of play per day can make a difference. So, will you be making time for interactive play this weekend?

12/10/2023

The clue's in the name we guess 🤷‍♂️

Treats and toys are two of the most important tools when it comes to training your dog.

If your pup isn't food-motivated, it's important to find their favourite kind of toy which can be used as a reward in training.

Do you know what your dog prefers?

10/10/2023

Interactive toys are a great way to stimulate your dog mentally and keep them entertained if you're not home.

The KONG Lock-it has the added bonus of providing treats as a reward for their playtime. The three pods can be filled with whatever your dog prefers as a treat and then locked together with a simple twist.

The Lock-it can be used as a play-time toy or a food bowl alternative for those dogs who like to wolf their food down in 20 seconds!

Get yours for just £7.19 here: https://www.thecanineemporium.com/product-page/lock-it-2-pk-large

How yummy does this sound?! So good we might have it for dinner ourselves 😅

Turns out turmeric is a great spice to include in your dog's food, plus this is bound to keep them entertained for ages when stuffed into a KONG classic.

A feelgood story for a Sunday - a care home in the US adopted a dog after it kept escaping from a rescue centre and finding its way to the building to play with residents.

It all started when a nurse woke up one morning and found Scout, as he was later named, fast asleep on the lounge sofa. They called their nearest rescue centre and he was picked up, but found his way back to the care home twice more.

“I’m a person who looks at outward signs, and if it’s meant to be, it’s meant to be,” said Marna Robertson, 57, the nursing home’s administrator, explained.

“He did that one time, two times, three times, and obviously that’s something that you should pay attention to. And I asked the staff: ‘Well, he wants to be here. Would anybody like to have a dog?’”

Just adorable

Use KONGs to stop digging and barking

Help stop digging and barking by using KONGs. Dogs bark to communicate or when bored / afraid. Productive play allows them to expend excess energy and helps discourage barking and digging. KONG's unpredictable bounce keeps them engaged and wanting more. A stuffed KONG can also direct their energy towards something positive which distracts them from bad behaviours.
