Mr Blaze has been a boarding regular for us since we opened and we are always happy to have him here ❤️

We are known as the house with all the German Shepherds in the neighborhood, some of them being ours and some of them being boarding/ board and trains. But the second most boarded dog is Huskies!

We take great pride in working with and accepting breeds known for their mouthiness, strong vocal cords, big emotions and who aren’t typically fond of new people. As always Blaze, it’s been great to see you again 🐶🫶🏼

One thing is for sure!
When you start to see these signals, it opens your eyes.
Fully.
So how do dogs show they just aren't interested or need a break from interacting with another dog?
This shows some fairly common ways.
If we ignore these "no thanks" signals, it can cause issues for some.

I've said it before....no one likes a pest, and dogs are no different.

That dog that just won't give up?
Even when your dog may be desperately signaling their little heart out.
We have to intervene.

Are we "interfering" with their natural communication?
Yes we are, because that communication given is not being received.
If ever there was a time to advocate and intervene.....that is the time.

Over arousal/over stimulation is a very big cause of dogs not receiving clear communication well.

So we have to step in when the other dog "just doesn't get it".

An update on “Piper”. She does not have a chip. There is significant evidence that in her previous home she was not being taken care of how she deserved. She was extremely matted (to the skin) and that does not occur in a matter of a few days from being missing.

I believe she was dumped, for who knows what reason. She is extremely emaciated, from however long she was out in the world alone.

From the condition she was found in, it’s surprising that she is as sweet as she is. My wonderful groomer and friend Muddy Little Paws shaved her this morning where she was matted, bathed her and got her feeling much better.

I know many people have inquired on her, if she needs a home, etc. While I appreciate all of the kind people interested in her, the last thing she needs is another change in an environment. For now our focus is in getting her healthy, getting her vaccinated once she’s at a healthy weight, and making her feel safe.

We are not looking to rehome her. If that changes we will go from there. For now, she’s being well cared for and loved on.

Thank you for everyone who has expressed their concern for her ❤️

I hope you’re happy here, “Piper”

FOUND DOG. IF YOU KNOW WHO IS MISSING THIS DOG PLEASE MESSAGE US.

This is not a post to inquire about rehoming. This dog is going to have a hard road ahead of itself. As far as we are concerned it will have a home here forever if it’s not missing from a home.

Introducing private and structured “Baby Dog” Puppy classes:

These classes will be one hour per week, for 8 weeks. Classes are designed for puppies 8 weeks and up, although designed with puppies 8-16 weeks in mind.

The reason we are offering these classes is generally puppies don’t have all of their vaccinations until 16 weeks, and thus miss out on building socialization skills during this crucial time period.

Classes will be designed to encourage stable temperament, social skills, cooperative care, and environmental exposure in a safe controlled environment to mitigate risk of illness without sacrificing the crucial time period leading up to full vaccination status.

The price for these classes will be $250 per dog. Time slots will be limited.

To schedule your dog for classes please text “Puppy” to (517) 652-3897 or email us at samstrainplayandstay @ gmail
