This week has been a fun one. Some sun some snow a whole lot of joy!
Little Miss Piper is the last guest and is getting to spend some one on one time with Remi. He’s 17 weeks now and ready to make new friends.
Brian and I have been working on some improvements around the kennels. (Pics to come soon)
We still have plenty of room for those mid-Winter getaways.😊

Very well said.

Why yes my dog would LOVE to say hi, but I’m still going to say “no thank you” and move on. Why?

1. Because I want my dog to learn that every time we see people it doesn’t mean it’s a party for him. I’d like him to continue his focus on us together as a team and not create conditioned excitement and expectation every time we are approached by someone.

2. Because I don’t know what saying hi means to you. Will you politely touch him? Will you allow him space to move away if he wants? Will you put your face too close to his? I don’t want him to have a negative experience so I’m going to avoid that by continuing our walk.

3. Because maybe I feel overwhelmed or stressed in public places and conversations with strangers may make me uncomfortable, so even though you’d like to talk and meet my dog, I’m protecting myself too.

4. Because we’re in a rush and have to get something done quickly.

5. Because I said no. Even social, sweet, friendly dogs and their handlers have every right to say “no” to a request to meet and be touched by people. This shouldn’t just apply to reactive, worried or bubble space dogs. Dogs are not public property, and saying “no thank you” to touching my dog shouldn’t be regarded as rude or unkind, any more than if a stranger asked to hold my baby.

Please normalize hearing “no” OR even better, normalize ignoring more dogs in public. Let them carry on with their handler and admire them from a far. It would do a world of good for dogs and humans everywhere, trust me.

Happy New Year everyone!!
We have had a great start to 2025.
Some friendly faces we haven’t seen in awhile and some rambunctious ones looking for a good time. Party at the Papka’s 😆🥳

Molly wants to let everyone know that Christmas was a blast here at Happy Tails.
We still have a couple of spots available for Daycare or a stay at the beginning of January.
