While Halloween is full of fun and treats, keeping our furry friends safe during the festivities is important. Here are tips to ensure a safe and stress-free night for your pet, and signs to watch out for!

🕸️ Create a Safe Space: Trick-or-treaters and costumes can be overwhelming. Set up a quiet, cozy spot in their Ruff Land Performance Kennel where they can relax away from the commotion.

🍬 Keep Candy Out of Reach: Chocolate and candy are tempting but can harm pets. Make sure all treats are kept out of their paws' reach. Read the graphic to keep an eye out for signs that your pup may have eaten Halloween candy.

👻 Costumes Are Optional: If your pet doesn’t like dressing up, skip the costume. Their comfort is key!

Happy Halloween! 🎃

We would LOVE to see your dogs Halloween costume. 👀

Red flags in a Dog Trainer. ❌

They don’t use treats or affection.

Your dog is not excited to see them post Board & Train.

They never let you see them hands on with your dog.

Sometimes in Board & Training cases this looks like them trying to hand over the leash as quickly as possible.

They give you a quick time line for complex problems.

Let’s stop acting like Dog Training shouldn’t take considerable thought & practice!

We understand your dog is a part of the family & you shouldn’t just trust anyone when you’re hiring a dog trainer.

Schedule to meet the team today. 🐶

We love hearing what our clients have to say! 🐶
Thank you for trusting us with your dog.

“We had such a positive experience working with The Distracted Dog for individualized training. Patrick created a unique plan specific to the needs of my dog. Training was fun and something we looked forward to every week. Patrick was excellent at explaining not only what to do, but why it was important to my dog. My dog is happier and a better companion because of the expert training we received. Thank you!”
