🐶🐱 February is Pet Dental Health Awareness Month! 🦷✨

Did you know that 80% of dogs & 70% of cats show signs of dental disease by age 3? Regular brushing, dental treats, and vet checkups can keep your pet’s smile healthy and fresh! 🪥🐾

💡 Tips for pet dental care:
✔️ Brush their teeth daily (or as often as possible)
✔️ Use pet-safe toothpaste (never human toothpaste!)
✔️ Provide dental chews & toys
✔️ Schedule regular vet dental exams

A healthy mouth means a healthier, happier pet!

February is National Prevent a Litter Month. Spaying and neutering your pets obviously has a huge benefit in reducing the pet population in rescues and shelters, but did you know it also has health benefits for your pet? If your pet is unfixed, please talk to your Veterinarian about spaying/neutering. It's just the best answer all around!

You wouldn't want to have to constantly hold tarantulas if you are afraid of spiders, would you? It's the same with our dogs! If your dog fears cars, don't walk them along the sidewalk. If they don't like bigger dogs, don't force meet-and-greets. ALWAYS advocate for your dog!

Regarding your relationship with your dog, it really is this simple: would you want your parent, boss, or other "higher-up" yelling at you constantly? Not giving you a chance to learn something? I think we all would prefer encouragement, patience, and kindness. Your dogs deserve the same.

Journaling is a great way to track progress, plus, when something suddenly stops working, you can refer back and see if a pattern is beginning. You can also see how far you and your pup have come!

Tiffany, our Service Dog Trainer, got a puppy! Here she is working with 16-week-old Maverick on a cooperative care cue called a chin rest. Chin rests are so beneficial to teach for Vet visits. Having your dog do a chin rest makes it easier to have the staff do a once-over of your dog. It can also help with injections and blood draws while your dog is focused on you. You can feed them from the chin rest position too!

Trust us, dogs LOVE food! Sometimes, however, a situation has them too nervous to eat. If your dog isn't taking treats, reevaluate the circumstance and try somewhere else. Trial and error are all a part of finding your groove with your pup!

Allowing a new dog the ability to choose whether to approach you or to back away builds trust and keeps everyone safe. People don't want perfect strangers rushing up into their personal space; give animals the same courtesy!

All too often, adopted or rescued pups are returned because they aren't "fitting in" with the family. In most cases, the adopters just didn't give the pup a chance to settle in and get used to their new home. Change is scary! Be patient, and your pup will show you their best self once they feel safe and secure.

Meal time is a great time for enrichment! Try tossing their kibble into a snuffle mat or even a box with scrunched-up paper. On nice days, the backyard makes a great foraging spot! Softer foods can be put into a Kong. Use your imagination; it'll help your pup!

Our positive reinforcement training can be applied in every scenario and everyday life. Nellie and her moms recently decided to downsize and move into a condo. Nellie has always been a bit leery of new people and dogs. Now she needs to navigate elevators, parking garages, and many more people. The parking garage is particularly difficult for Nellie. Watch as Valarie teaches both Nellie and her moms how to help her become comfortable in her environment! #clevelanddogs #clevelanddogtrainer #clevelanddogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtraining

Positive reinforcement trainers are often told we don't have many tools in our toolbox. The truth is we do. They just aren't shocking, pronging, choking, or otherwise scaring dogs. Check out Beluga and Valarie doing something called Play Way. No food is involved!! Just social connection and silliness! #clevelanddogs #clevelanddogtrainer #clevelanddogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtraining

Why Senior Dogs make ideal pets.mp4
Why Senior Dogs make ideal pets.mp4

🐾 November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month🐾 Don’t overlook the golden oldies! Senior dogs have so much love to give and make incredible companions. 🐶💛 Here’s why adopting a senior dog might just be the best decision you ever make: ✔️ Calm & Well-Mannered: Senior dogs are typically more mellow and already trained, making them easier to integrate into your home. ✔️ Grateful Companions: They’ve lived through life’s ups and downs and are so appreciative of a loving, comfortable home. ✔️ Less Maintenance: Older dogs don’t need the energy-burning activities puppies do, and they’re often content with gentle walks and cuddles. ✔️ Instant Connection: Many senior dogs are looking for someone to love and bond with right away. Consider giving a senior dog a second chance at happiness. They’ve still got plenty of love (and naps) to share! 🐕❤️ #clevelanddogs #clevelanddogtrainer #clevelanddogtraining #dogtrainer #dogtraining
