Thanksgiving is in just a few short days! While you are cleaning, shopping, cooking, and preparing for all the holiday fun don't forget your dog needs preparation too! Here are some tips to keep them happy and safe this weekend!

🦃 Exercise them physically before guests arrive
🦃 Play fun training games to get them mentally tired as well
🦃 Prepare delicious frozen kongs for them to work on in their crates
🦃 Crate them in a separate quiet room when guests arrive with their favorite chew, frozen kong, etc.
🦃 Play calming, neutral music to help minimize background noise
🦃 Do not allow guests to interact with them. Holidays are very stressful for dogs due to all the extra things that happen in our homes that our dogs aren't used to dealing with on a daily basis. Be their leader. Do what's best for them and keep them as safe, calm, fulfilled, and comfortable as possible this holiday season.

⭐️🙌🏻We are SO EXCITED to announce that Collegetown Canine is now officially an AKC Evaluator!🙌🏻⭐️

As someone who personally loves dog sports and putting titles on my own dogs, I'm very excited to help others dip their toes into the sport world with these beginner friendly titles.

We will be offering these in both group and individual lesson packages depending on interest and comfortability of the owners. For those of you who are familiar with what the tests entail for these titles and would just like to be tested without prep, this option is also available 🤗

Message or email us to inquire! Crush some goals with your pup! 💙🐾💪🏻

While there are a handful of things that create the recipe for a successful structured walk, proper collar placement is one of the most important ingredients! Whether you use a prong collar, slip lead, or slip collar, the placement of it should be where the prong collar is placed in this picture. Collars placed where the flat collar is in this picture can actually increase liklihood of pulling, trachea damage, etc.

Happy walking! 🤗🍂🐾

What does Collegetown Canine do in their spare time? Train dogs for fun of course 😆🤷🏼‍♀️ We had a very long, fun, and successful day of accomplishing our own goals in a sport that we love very much 🧡

Brittany and staff dog Maverick earned their BH title in IGP yesterday! 🎉

What is IGP? ➡️ IGP is a German dog sport that tests dogs in three phases: tracking, obedience, and protection. There is a lot of time and dedication that goes into earning titles in this sport.

We are taking time to recoup today and will be back at it tomorrow! 😌

💗🐾We all have dogs because we love them. They bring so much joy to our lives and are part of our families, but what's the best way to show our dogs we love them?🐾💗

❌️The answers are not..

Buying them 65 new toys, taking them to dog parks or huge uncontrolled daycares, pushing multiple dog friends and play dates on them to entertain them, leaving food out for them with unlimited access, letting them do whatever they want around your house, spending extensive amounts of time inside on the couch, etc.

✅️The corrects answers are..

Everything that involves more time with YOU. Your dog needs YOU. Play and be silly with them, pick up a tug or ball and use toys to INTERACT with them, teach them new things, sign up for new classes, go on structured walks AND decompression walks, create rules in your house and relationship and STICK TO THEM. Be consistent in your leadership, structure, and boundaries. Teach them the benefits of down time through crate and place training. Pay attention to what you are feeding them and how much, etc.

The truth behind a happy dog is it takes work, time, and education. Our dogs live every second for US. Do right by them and make sure they are fulfilled the way a DOG should be 💗
