What better day to present our latest homage to music we love than Valentine's Day! Fans of hardcore/punk will recognize this tune with some of the words ever so slightly changed. These will be made into another work uniform for us in the future by the amazing INTO THE VOID Print Co.
Today, and everyday: Don't forget the snuggles! Don't forget the treats! Don't forget your roots, and don't sell out! 🤘🏻❤️🐾

We LOVE Halloween and seeing all of the cool ways people decorate their homes! While they may not scare us...well, some of them might lol, they very well might frighten your dogs.
Sometimes it's the actual decoration. Sometimes it's the noises they make or the wind blowing and making them move around. Many times it's simply because a new object is placed where there normally isn't one. Don't be afraid, this is all normal stuff!
Instead of forcing your dog to endure things that scare them, we need to help them feel safe!
- If you notice your dog is hesitant to get past something, make more space for them to walk by. Go into the street or completely cross.
- If you're aware of some crazy decor, change up your route a bit for the next few weeks. This also means new places to explore and sniff for your dogs, BONUS!!!
- Work with a qualified trainer on counter conditioning techniques to get them from "fearful to cheerful" (thanks to Urban Dawgs - Positive, Reward-Based Dog Training for the phrase!)

We wanted to pay tribute to one of our most favorite bands while also sending a simple educational and positive message about dogs because that's who we are! Special thanks to Alf at INTO THE VOID Print Co. for screen printing these new shirts for us! We wear them proudly!
Always remember to keep the Sabbath black and let your dogs sniff! Letting them explore the world of scent around them with their noses and just letting them be dogs means so much to them 🤘🏻🖤🐾👃🏻
It's kind of difficult to play all of the music we'd like to on FB and Insta so we hope all you can hear this different version of a favorite song 🤣

It's SO hot out!!! BUT, we're still coming to your houses to take care of your pups. Yes, we're shortening up walks a bit right now, but that doesn't mean we're not having fun!
The young adolescent in this video has A LOT of energy. Total Labbie vibes lol On normal weather days, we walk around his neighborhood where he can sniff until his heart's content (we also play sniffing games during walks). On days like today, it's simply too dangerous for both him and us! To make sure he has his needs met so he has a nice, peaceful afternoon nap, we play "Find It" beneath a shady tree!
This is a low impact game with high impact results! Your dog gets to do what they love (sniff, forage, explore, eat yummies, etc.) so they get the mental stimulation they need AND they'll also get out a lot of that extra energy without such a worry of overheating. If you have a dog that's more sensitive to heat, play "Find It" inside instead!
This boy's guardians once asked what we do when we're with their dog that he's so relaxed when we get back. They honestly couldn't believe the difference! Simply put, we meet their needs! Besides walking and a bit of simple training, we want your dogs to "be dogs" and playing "Find It" is a great way to do that! It's an amazing and incredibly easy game you can incorporate into your walks or any time of the day!

We're not crying, you are 🥹
A few years ago, we got a call from a potential new client. They were adding a puppy to their family and needed some advice as it had been a while since they had a furry youngin' to handle. We had a great conversation and decided that we were the right match to work with each other. We met up with both Rocky and Apollo and the rest was history.
Over the last 2+ years, we mainly focused on Apollo, although Rocky got his fair share of attention and treats! These boys are Beagle Cavalier mixes aka Beagliers. This mix is a great combo as they are hearty, physically strong and super smart!
Apollo learned so many skills during our time together. We were lucky to be able to spend 5 days a week together, so there was plenty of time to teach and learn. Besides being a pro at basics, he's also a Fetch and "Find It" fanatic!
We wish the family safe travels as they make their way across the country. We also hope the boys enjoy all of the treats we got them.
It was a true honor being able to put our imprint on this sweet puppy who turned into a wonderful young man ☺️ Thank you for your trust and loyalty. We're always here if you need us 🙏🏻❤️🐾

Have a happy and safe 4th! Fireworks will happen, most likely all weekend long. Check out our stories, highlights, or right here for safety tips!
- Get those food puzzles, Kongs and other work to eat toys ready to go to keep them occupied and relieve stress! Did you know that chewing, along with sniffing, help dogs relieve stress?
- Have fans, music, TV or white noise machines available to help drown out the sounds of explosions.
- Keep windows closed and have curtains or blinds drawn to reduce the flashing of the lights. Don't have curtains, use towels or blankets to temporarily cover windows.
- Get walks and outdoor play time in BEFORE the evening so they are fulfilled, empty and tired and don't need to go out until firework displays are over.
- Keep your dogs securely inside!!!! Scared dogs can easily get out of collars, harnesses, backyards, etc. Leave them safely indoors! Charge GPS collar devices and make sure tags and chips are up to date in case of escape.
- Comfort your dogs! You will not reinforce their fears by helping to soothe them. Tell them it's ok, offer pets, whatever they need!
- If you can, devote a room in the house to your dog that is as "firework proofed" as possible. (Have their crate, their pen, favorite toys, chewies, bed, blankets, etc. as well as and site/sound blocking devices set up for them.)
- If your dog needs more help, seek out a fear free behaviorist and vet to get ahead of this for next year.
-One last tip: If you're having a party, have a designated (sober) caretaker for your dog. Use indoor gates as guests may not be as diligent about keeping doors closed. Limit entrance/exits to one main door, keep all other doors and outdoor gates securely locked. If you have the space, give your dog a good sized secure area indoors and away from guests and doors!
Be safe and have fun!
