Happy St. Pawtricks Day!!

Hello Sea Dog family-
We want to share some information with you regarding a respiratory illness that is present in the greater Houston area. Atypical Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex has been seen in several states over the past several months, and we have been made aware that there has been an uptick in cases in Houston. While we have not received culture results back, we have noticed symptoms in line with this illness in some of the pets in our facility. As a result, we have entered a quarantine. The health of the animals in our care remains our top priority, and we are taking steps to both proactively protect and respond to symptoms. If you have an animal in our care, you will have received several emails regarding quarantine communication.
We also feel like this information is beneficial for those of you who do not currently have pets in our care! This respiratory illness is different from kennel cough, and has a variety of symptoms that range from mild to aggressive.

The LSU School of Veterinary Medicine wants to keep pet owners informed about Atypical Canine Infectious Respiratory Disease Complex (aCIRDC), which has been seen in 14 states but has yet to reach Louisiana. With a focus on prevalence, clinical signs, pathogenesis, screening, treatment, and preventi...

Looking like Easter Bunny perfection.

This is the first time I’ve looked at a ballpit and not heard my mother’s voice warning me that there might be needles and f***s in it like the ball pit myths of the 90s. And even if there was…I’d run the risk for that puppy 😍

02/21/2024

We LOVE when one of our Best Boys/Girls gets adopted. Happy trails, Harry! We are so proud of you 💙

Dreaming about the weekend like…

02/16/2024

Time to put the books down and enjoy the weekend!

02/14/2024

Happy Valentines Day! We are celebrating puppy love all day today.

Cod short skins- it’s what’s for dinner!
What is a cod short skin, you may ask. I’m glad you did. Scientifically, it’s the best treat for the most loved pets!
Additionally, they are single ingredient (er, cod skin) and therefor great for dogs with certain protein sensitivities. As an added bonus, they can help clean teeth and reduce tartar build up. And the BEST part is we have them in stock. Come pick some up while they last!

What’s this Superb Owl party everyone is going to tonight? 🦉

02/07/2024

Hey y’all, how are you doing on this fine Wednesday? Dottie is just checking in.

02/05/2024

Sweet puppy snuggles 🥰
This baby went off to his forever home this weekend 💙

02/02/2024

Happy Friday! Remember to get your weekend bath in for any potential adopters….er, we mean dates, over the next couple days.

Let’s see your best dog teef smiles! Drop them in the comments 👇🏻

01/31/2024

That must have been one really good joke.

01/29/2024

Meaty Monday!
Oh yeah, it’s a thing. Meat based enrichment for all the dogs! We aren’t suddenly hungry, you’re suddenly hungry…

01/25/2024

Name a dog that looks more like cookies and cream ice cream. We’ll wait.

01/24/2024

How it feels being outside in Houston right now 🌂

01/23/2024

Help settle a debate! Who does Rocco look more like : Carl from UP, or Roz from Monsters Inc.

01/22/2024

Gizzards! It’s what’s for dinner.
We love (love?) to whip up errrr, unusual food offerings as enrichment. Gizzards unfortunately are not that unusual. Dogs are weird.

01/18/2024

Quick, somebody help us figure out what day it is! The social media manager wrote an entire post based off of puns of it being Wednesday. IS IT WEDNESDAY? The calendar says no. The heart says yes.

01/16/2024

Icicle alert!
Everyone is safe and warm at SDAT this morning ☺️

01/15/2024

Noodles is hoping you will also get to curl up with your favorite cozy stuff on this brutally cold (below 40) Houston day!

It’s Who Wore it Best Wednesday!
A cow, or Caroline? Who wore this print best?

01/09/2024

So subtle, this one.

Wanna know how we got these pups? (Say that in your Heath Ledger joker voice, please)
We offer whelping services on an as-needed basis, when whelping fosters are not available. We don’t encourage breeding due to the overpopulation crisis in Houston, but sometimes dogs come to us late term in need of care. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about rescue whelping care!

01/03/2024

New year, new babies!
Mom (not pictured, that’s Heather, you silly gooses!) came to us pregnant. Or pregernant. Or pregnat. Or pragnat. Or whichever way you always accidentally mistype that word 🤪
Anyway, she was WITH CHILD, and now we have the fullest house and hearts with 9 beautiful puppies to snuggle.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! May you bring the same enthusiasm to tomorrow that Queen does.

DIY Christmas dog toy!

Here's a fun and easy DIY scavenger toy for your dog, cat, or bird, made from leftover wrapping paper! And to address the elephant in the room...yes, there is a very cute bird in this video.

Scent enrichment

We love adding scent elements to enrichment! Tins (like the one tucked between pumpkins) can hold cotton balls with essential oils on them to add complexity and interest to activities. Charlie seems to be a big fan of the sweet corn scent, which is on brand since he is both sweet and corny.

Home made puzzle feeder

Enrichment for your pet doesnt have to break the bank! This homemade puzzle feeder is made out of PVC pipe.

Camel training

Jack Pine stars in the upcoming Dreamworks picture, How to Train Your Camel. 🐪 When we say we train exotics too, we mean the whole spectrum. Lions and Tigers and Camels, oh my. www.seadoganimaltraining.com Disclaimer: we don’t actually train lions. Or tigers. Or any other animal that is irresponsible for pet ownership. We DO train camels. And snakes, birds, pigs, hedgehogs, rabbits, chickens, and other various and sundry exotics that are legal and responsible ;) Stay safe out there and don’t try to be Mike Tyson from The Hangover.

We had a great time at Pet Supplies Plus - Houston - Braes Heights, TX this weekend!

Leash locking 101

Have you ever heard of a leash lock? It's a part of defensive leash handling that really boosts the amount of control you have over the leash, while allowing you to engage more of your muscles.

Hipp training session

It's one thing to pay somebody to train your dog, but we also want to equip you as the owner with the tools to not only make the most of that training, but continue it! The goal is a partnership between trainer, owner, and pet. Here, Hipp demonstrates some of the skills he's been working on at home. 💙

Fly Fishing Desensitization

One of the wonderful things about positive reinforcement training is its versatility! Lily goes fly fishing with her owner, but was very interested in chasing the fly. Here, Heather is doing a session with her to help her learn not to chase it.

Hudson's cat test

One of the lesser-known services that we offer in facility is cat testing! We use cat testing to help gauge whether or not a pet would do well in a home with smaller animals. This is especially helpful for rescues who are searching for the very best fit for a forever home for their dogs! 💙🐈 Here's a video of our bff Hudson with Forgotten Coast Animal Rescue, INC. during his cat test. He did absolutely great, and ultimately was much more interested in the potential for snuggles.

About Heather and Sea Dog Animal Training

Sea Dog Animal Training was born from the ideas and training theories of voluntary participation, as applied to marine mammals. Heather's positive reinforcement training experience is heavily rooted in working with California sea lions, which are often called "Sea Dogs."

Is your pet rambunctious? Does your pet seem to have "selective hearing"? Is your pet already pretty awesome and you want to provide advanced training as a way to enrich your pet's life? I can help!

In a study conducted by the National Council on Pet Population Study and Policy (NCPPSP), researchers found that 96% of dogs surrendered to shelters had not received any obedience training. It is my personal mission to help reduce the number of pets that are relinquished to shelters through positive reinforcement training services offered by Sea Dog Animal Training.

Whether you have a dog, a cat, a bearded dragon, a mini pig, or a parrot, my experience and training services will help transform your pet into a well mannered member of the family.
