First want to thank everyone who participated in Dog Play for a Cause classes in 2024. We raised over $3700 for Badass Bulldog Rescue. That was tremendous! After much thought, I have finally decided to sponsor Michigan Animal Rescue League (MARL) in 2025. Our goal is to raise $4000 for them this year. Please checkout their website and then go to www.pawsnplaydogtraining.com and sign up for a Dog Play class today!

Temporary foster opportunities are a great way to help us learn about our animals while providing a loving, out-of-shelter home for them.

It's COLD out there! Make sure your pups don't stay outside too long. Did you know that you can still exercise your dog without going outside? Walk your dog around the house and practice all of their obedience commands, like Sit, Down, Come, Stay. Do this for 30 minutes and your dog will be tired! You can also play games like Hide N Seek or Monkey in the Middle which supports obedience behaviors like Stay and Come while having fun! Checkout more ways to have fun at:

Playing games with your dog helps your dog retain serious obedience skills. Paws N Play Dog Training presents 4 games to make practicing obedience fun.

Loose Leash walking is on my mind! Spring is here and the weather is getting warmer and perfect for walking your dog! Does your dog have good loose leash walking manners?

We have 4 Week Loose Leash Walking classes scheduled for both April and May. Find out more at https://www.pawsnplaydogtraining.com/blog/joy-of-loose-leash-walking Check it out and sign up today!

Checkout the new blog article that I posted last week, Canine Stress and How Relaxation Exercises can Help. (www.pawsnplaydogtraining.com/blog/canine-stress-and-how-relaxation-exercises-help)
Stress is a real thing for dogs. We don’t always realize that our dog is stressed. Even small things can cause stress for your dog such as a change in your work schedule, or a family member leaving the house, or just not getting enough exercise because it is cold outside. Paws N Play can help both you and your dog! Our Paws N Relax Class (https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=20823490&appointmentType=49481605) gives you the opportunity to bond with your dog and help them understand what calm feels like. Sign up today!
