🌟 Astoria Pups, Let’s Eclipse in Style! 🌒

Tomorrow, the sky will perform a magical dance, cloaking the sun in a shadow for a spectacular solar eclipse. And guess what? Our furry friends are joining in on the celestial celebration!

🚫 A Myth Dispelled: Contrary to some beliefs, dogs won’t intentionally stare at the sun, avoiding harm naturally. As we enjoy this day, remember, our pets depend on us for their safety. It’s best to enjoy the eclipse without bringing pets into crowded viewing areas.

📸 Challenge: Gear up in eclipse glasses, snap a memorable selfie with your pet, and join our eclipse day fun! Looking for inspiration? Check out our stories. Share your best shots with and let’s Get Walking!

5 must-know benefits of socializing your dog early:

1️⃣ Confidence King: Early socializing turns your pup into a confident explorer, ready to tackle new experiences with a wagging tail.

2️⃣ Stress-Buster: It helps in cutting down on those nervous jitters. Your dog learns that new people and pets are friends, not foes.

3️⃣ Emotional Health: A socially savvy dog is a happy dog. Regular interactions contribute to their overall joy and mental well-being.

4️⃣ Cool and Collected: Getting to know a variety of situations early on means your dog is less likely to react negatively to new encounters.

5️⃣ Friend-Finder: It’s all about making friends and having fun. Socializing opens up opportunities for your dog to make lifelong pals.

Socializing your dog isn’t just a chore; it’s about giving them the skills for a happy, well-rounded life. A well-socialized dog is a joy to be around! 🐶🐾

Ever wondered about the best way to walk your pup? Let’s break down the concept of structured walks and see why they’re awesome! 🐾

What is a Structured Walk?

✅ You’re in control: leading the walk with your dog on a leash
✅ Pre-planned route and steady pace
✅ Aimed at training and reinforcing discipline
✅ It’s all about you and your dog working as a team

What Structured Walk is not?

🚫 It’s not a leisurely, aimless stroll.
🚫 Your dog pulling or deciding the direction
🚫Unplanned or erratic stops

Hiding the “scary” stuff from your dog will only make them more scared when they do encounter the “scary” things. 😱

Start with small doses and incrementally expose your pup to those noises, sights, and objects that are “scary”. Be sure to remain calm and confident when your dog looks to you for guidance. This will help desensitize your dog to their fears. 🐶

What does your pup find “scary”? How did you help them overcome their fear? Or is your dog still struggling with their fear? Let us know in the comments below. 👇

Scientific studies have shown that interactions with dogs increase feel-good hormones in humans such as endorphins, oxytocin, prolactin, and dopamine. These hormones are associated with joy, stress, pain relief, and reduced blood pressure. 🐶 🤗

One of the most important things that you can teach your pup is to be calm and self-regulate. 🐶✅

You see overexcited dogs everywhere, especially here in NYC. But frantic, over-stimulated dogs often suffer from anxiety. Utilizing a confined enclosure or the place command is a great way to help your dog learn how to decompress. 🐕

With time, patience, and consistency, you can teach your dog to remain calm in any situation. 🐾

Just like building muscle or mastering a new skill, socializing your dog takes time and consistent effort. One group walk or playdate won’t make your pup well-socialized. It would be nice if it worked that way, but unfortunately it doesn’t. ⚠️

Having a well-socialized dog requires patience, repetition, and a dedicated effort to make it a lifelong habit for your pup. Don’t give up on the process, keep exposing your dog to new sights, sounds, people, and dogs. Remember, it’s not a one-time event, it’s a lifelong pursuit to have a well-adjusted, confident companion. 🐶✅

Let’s normalize Introversion in dogs! ✅🐶

When you’re at a large social gathering, it’s common to socialize with certain people, avoid others, and not even interact with the rest. This does not imply that something is wrong with you. 😉

The same goes for dogs. Your dog is not going to get excited to greet every person or every other dog that he encounters. And this is normal and okay. If your pup doesn’t want to say hello, let’s respect that and not pressure them to “say hi”. 🐾🐕🐩
