Dahlia and her cousin, Kobi, had another play date recently. It’s so interesting to see the way they are both developing and watching them learn proper play and social skills together. They are both about the same age, but Kobi is a Bernadoodle and Dahl is a Cane Corso.

Believe it or not, there is a proper way for dogs to play respectfully. There needs to be give and take; chase and be chased. They should be able to read social cues and not be constantly engaged in high-energy play. These two definitely enjoy rough housing, but also know when it’s time to give space and just hang out together.

We will be following suit by implementing these protocols as well.. with the Christmas season fast approaching, please take extra precaution. This illness is spreading quickly and we want to do everything we can to avoid it for our dogs and our clients dogs.

Drop-In Training is being temporarily postponed as well.

At this point, I'm sure you've seen the news about an unknown upper respiratory illness affecting dogs across the country, making many very sick.

We want you to know we are doing our best to protect our dogs and our clients' dogs from this illness by asking those who will be staying with us to help us do that by being proactive in keeping all their dogs home and healthy for atleast 2 weeks before their stay.

We ask owners to keep their dog from away from these situations:
- the groomer
- dog daycare/boarding
- dog friendly stores/restaurants
- dog training classes
- unnecessary trips to the vet
- places frequented by dogs (parks, walking trails, etc)
- playdates/on leash greetings/shared food or water bowls with dogs outside of your household
- pet relief areas/other pet hotspots during travel

If your dog is showing any symptoms of a cough, nasal discharge, lethargy, not feeling well, etc to please reschedule with us.

We ask owners to help us keep everyone safe and healthy while more is researched about this unknown illness. Thank you!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Charlie, Carlos, Max, Harry, Oreo, and Panda were treated to our annual turkey toppers this evening. It consisted of ground turkey, pumpkin, parsley, beef bone broth, and a cranberry-goat milk blend. 🦃 Video of meal time was sent to owners, but here are a couple snapshots. 😅

As always, we check with owners to ensure there are no food allergies before giving any additions outside of their normal meals. ❤️

We hope you all had a lovely day with family and friends.

Guests coming over for the holidays? 😄🦃🎄🕍 Starting to worry that your pups behaviors may cause a little chaos during an already chaotic season? 😬

We are now introducing a new program that is more flexible and budget friendly to make training accessible for everyone. Whether you are nervous about leaving your dog overnight, hoping to save money on training, or just wanting to teach or refresh commands prior to the end of the year…

Drop-In Training is now available! 🥳
Drop your pup off on the way to work, and pick him up when you get off.
We work on one command a day and send homework with you so you can keep working with them at home!
This is a 5 day program where we will teach reliable, on-leash commands:
* Sit (stay)
* Down (stay)
* Come when called
* Leash manners
* Place (stay on a dog bed/cot)

Drop-In Training starts on Monday, November 13th by reservation so your pup can be a well-mannered host before Turkey Day. 😊

Message us for more information!! 💌

Puppy play date with Dahlia (Cane Corso) & Kobi (Bernedoodle) - both are about 5 months old, and quite social with people and other dogs. ♥️

It was so fun to watch these two play and learn together. Both pups were polite in asking for space when it was needed, and respecting the one asking. They took a lot of rest breaks and played hard in short spurts.

Here are some photos of these cuties having a blast!

Today, my best boy, Cooper Kilgore turned 13 years old! We celebrated with food and another toy duck (those are his absolute favorites). I’m so grateful for all of the time I have with my Coop Man. As he slows down and looks a little more shabby with each passing day, he’s still got his same spicy spirit and goofy demeanor. We love you so much, Cooper! Happy 13th birthday, big boy!

Really cool enrichment idea! Of course, always supervise and know your dogs play style before offering something like this. Not the best option for dogs that try to eat socks. 🥴😅

A good alternative is to pour treats or kibble into a dish towel, roll the towel, then knot the towel. Give to your pup and allow them to figure out how to access their snacks. 😄

Does anyone else receive BarkBox for their dogs? We got our first Super Chewer box yesterday, and I’m really pleased with the quality of the toys and the ingredients in the treats.

It’s a nice way to add enrichment to your dogs day - with toys they can chew, fetch, or tug. They also have toys you can hide snacks or their daily meals inside of.

Our box came with a free orthopedic bed (great for Cooper!) and stuffed “pea” (like the story Princess and the Pea), a soft bear that has a rubber core, a hard beehive chew, and 2 packs of treats - our pack really loved the crunchy ones, but not the soft ones. 🤔

If y’all have been receiving them for a while I would love to hear your experience, and also which box you prefer! If you’ve never had a chance to check them out I will include a referral link that gets you double the toys and treats in your first box!

Curious to know…. 🤔
Would anyone be interested in a drop-in training program? Pup would be dropped off before your work day, picked up after your work day, and we would work on one command per day.
This would be a more budget-friendly training option, open to dogs without major behavioral issues.

Macon-Bibb Animal Welfare is running a $5 microchip special for the remainder of September. Just got these two chipped and the process was a breeze!

Microchipping your pet is not the same as implanting a tracking device, but it helps in case your pet gets loose or injured and is picked up by someone trying to help. It also proves ownership of your animal.

Don’t miss out on this excellent deal!

Keeping cool indoors while temperatures have spiked outside. While it is important to give your dogs a physical outlet, they can easily be harmed by temperature extremes - burnt paw pads, dehydration, and heat stroke!

We are so grateful to have our DogPacer, but if you don’t you can still utilize trick training as a way to burn off some of your pups pent up energy on days like this. 🥵♥️
