🚨 July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month 🐾

Did you know that 1 in 3 pets will go missing at some point in their lifetime? And sadly, many never make it back home.

At Furry Tail Training: For Dogs and Cats, we believe prevention starts with education. 💡

Here are a few quick tips to help keep your furry friend safe:
🔐 Secure your home & yard – Check fences, gates, windows, and screens.
🎯 Microchip & ID tags – Make sure they’re up to date and registered.
🎓 Training saves lives – Teaching a solid recall and “wait at the door” can prevent emergencies.
🐾 Leash up – Even in familiar places, always leash your dog in unfenced areas.
📸 Current photos – Keep recent pictures of your pet in case you ever need to make a flyer or post online.

✅ Bonus Tip: Ask us how our training programs can help improve your pet’s recall, impulse control, and door manners—skills that keep pets safe and home where they belong.

Let’s work together to reduce the number of lost pets this July—and all year long. 🐶🐱

🍁🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦🍁

I may be U.S.-born, but I’m a proud Canadian at heart, with roots that go back to my grandparents, who came to California from Canada. Today I’m celebrating the country that’s a big part of my heritage and identity. ❤️🐾

At Furry Tail Training, I carry those Canadian values with me every day: kindness, empathy, and a deep respect for all creatures.

Wishing everyone near and far a joyful and safe Canada Day!
(And yes, maple syrup is always in my house. 😉)

📦 Moving? There are pet-friendly solutions.
⏳ Busy schedule? Support is out there.

🚶‍♀️🐕 Keep Your Dog Walks Safe and Stress-Free! 🐕🚶‍♂️

Walking your dog should be fun and relaxing — but sometimes unexpected encounters with other dogs can cause stress or tension.

Here’s a simple safety tip: Carry a small umbrella on your walks and open it when another dog approaches. This creates a visual barrier that helps keep space between the dogs, giving both of you more control and reducing the chance of a confrontation.

Other tips to keep walks safe:
✅ Stay aware of your surroundings
✅ Use a secure leash and harness
✅ Keep calm and confident

Your dog trusts you to keep them safe — and with a few smart strategies, every walk can be a great adventure!

🐾 Did you know? Dogs don’t actually feel guilt! 🐶

That classic “guilty look” your dog gives you when they’ve made a mess or sneaked a treat? It’s not really guilt — it’s their way of reacting to your body language and tone of voice. Dogs are super smart and sensitive to how we’re feeling, so they pick up on cues like a stern voice or a frown and respond with submissive behavior.

So next time your pup looks “guilty,” remember—they’re just trying to understand you, not feeling bad about what they did!

❤️ Let’s celebrate their loyalty and honesty instead!
