The holidays are a fun and joyous time, but all of the visitors, changes in schedule, and tempting novel decorations and food can make them challenging times to navigate with dogs!

Let us provide you with tips and tricks to make the holiday excitement as safe and peaceful for your dog as possible!

We will discuss helping dogs feel comfortable and calm with visitors, preventing holiday food snatching and counter surfing, keeping them safe around decorations and ways to help them cope with the change in schedule.

If you're looking for a way to provide enrichment for your dog, check out Let Them Be Dogs . Camryn is offering some amazing services that are customized to your dog's needs. Check out her page to learn more!!

Enrichment has become a huge buzz word in the dog world, but what does it really mean?

Enrichment, simply put, is best defined as a way to improve overall quality of life.

For our canine friends, these interests can vary, but there are several types of enrichment you can try to see what suits your dog best!

Some categories and examples are…
🐾 visual
doggie tv, car rides, window watching
🐾 auditory
calming music, dog podcasts
🐾 food based
food dispensing toys, edible chews, food in cardboard boxes
🐾 physical
toy play, dog led obstacle courses
🐾 environmental
surface changes, DIY tunnels and forts, visiting a new place
🐾 olfactory
nosework, freedom to sniff on walks
🐾 cognitive
training games, dog sports

So, with so many options, how do you choose? Here are some things to consider…

Is my dog enjoying this activity?
Remember, to enhance a dog’s quality of life, we don’t want to see signs of fear, frustration, or stress.

Is it safe?
Some dogs love destroying cardboard to eat their meals, but are at risk of ingesting it. A different activity may be a better choice for them.

If you’re looking to meet your dog’s needs and improve their lives, try some new activities and find some they like!

Pictured below is a scent box of natural items collected from a local trail head along with some deer hair!

Happy Enriching!

Little Lia was terrified to play on her first day in puppy class. But now look at her go! After 5 weeks she has gained such confidence. It's always one of my favorite things about my job. Watching puppies learn to be brave and create social skills that will last them a lifetime. Such special moments to be a part of ❤️

New reactive recovery class starting 6:30pm Tuesdays Nov 12th-Dec 10th at Canine Connection!

Does your dog bark and lunge at other dogs? Are walks stressful? Is your dog out of control on a leash? If your dog has BIG feelings when they see other dogs this is the class for you! Get ready to help your dog make better choices when they see another dog, improve their focus on you, and feel calmer- all with fun games and exercises. We will focus on giving each dog the skills they need to succeed, and put these skills into practice in a safe environment.

First week is for humans only to provide you with all the info you need to get started without worrying about having to manage your dog.

This class will be run by two instructors to ensure you and your dog receive more specialized attention. Spots are limited!

** Currently limited for vocal but friendly dogs only. If you are unsure if this is a good fit for you, please sign up for a private lesson first so we can evaluate your dog. We offer a 4 week private reactive recovery course if you feel your dog is not ready for a group setting. Visit the private lessons page for more info.

We love working as a team to ensure your pup is getting the best training plan for their success. Camryn and Tess are both incredibly valuable to Doggonit and I just love when you guys get to see why they are part of the team. These are the type of emails that make all our hard work and dedication worth it!! :

"Hello Kelly,
We missed you at training classes this summer, but wanted to let you know how pleases we were with Camryn while we and Winni were working through Obedience 2. Camryn gave us very clear guidance and she was fun to work with. We followed that with three private lessons with Tess to tackle Winni’s reactivity.
These lessons were full of practical strategies and very helpful in preparation for the group reactivity class. Tess and Camryn together ran an outstanding class with continuing practical strategies. We learned so much from them, the practice sessions were well organized and Winni is showing steady progress. We are very encouraged. It was also helpful listening to the other participants. We look forward to joining more of your training classes next summer when we are back in NH.
Have a good winter and see you next summer."

Thank you Sarah and Winni for making our day : )
