Some of us really love keeping our dogs floofy, but it's important to remember that requires a lot of work and upkeep. Matting happens a lot faster than you'd think and leaves your dog uncomfortable and makes grooming take longer. Talk to your groomer about proper and efficient grooming techniques for your dog's specific needs.

This dog in particular had a surgery weeks earlier and had been wearing an Elizabethan collar (aka cone) for a few days, leaving the hair under the collar matted.

On July 16th Impawsible Pups celebrated 12 years of being open for daycare and boarding services and 15 years of dog training! To thank all of our wonderful clients who've been there with us through thick and thin, we have an extra special enrichment activity. We're letting the dogs come in and choose a toy to play with and take home! I think the dogs seem pretty happy with it, and we're loving the cuddles. Thank you everyone for your unwaivering support!!

The dogs days of summer have officially arrived! Make sure your pups have access to clean water at all times during this heat and don’t forget, if the asphalt is too hot for you to comfortably walk on barefoot, your pup will not be comfortable either 🦮🔥

The popular question of the day: Would you rather be in the woods with a bear or a man.

My answer: I'll take either as long as my dog is with me.

See that little pink spot on the wall? If you were picking up your pup on Friday evening, you may have noticed some significant bee activity. Apparently honey bees had decided to start building their combs in our wall and were even entering the kennel room!!! I love Honeybees, but the kennel room is no place for them! With quick thinking from the crew, however, the issue was resolved in a timely manner. Hans came out and sealed things up from the inside while Sky and the team caught as many bees as they could and released them back outside. Then, Sky reached out to her contacts and by Saturday we had a crew from Bat, Bee, and Hornet removal services out to remove the bees WITHOUT killing them.

Bees are integral to our ecosystem. They maintain biodiversity through pollination. Did you know roughly 90% of plants rely on pollinators to reproduce?! Not only that, but they are beneficial for our personal health. The honey they produce contains antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents and local honey can help with seasonal allergies. They also produce beeswax, royal jelly, propolis, and venom!!

So, in short, thank you Sky (and Richard and Kimi) for working hard to save the bees!!

In case you haven't heard me talk about, I started coaching for 2 years ago as a way tonight Anna more involved in running. What I discovered was so much more than a running group, though. GotR is a group that helps girls build self esteem, learn social skills, deal with conflict management. They also work to make sure girls are provided with basic necessities (feminine care, undergarments, shoes). And at the end of the 12 weeks of each season, all the girls gather to run a 5k. Today, 500+ girls from the Richmond area gathered with their running buddies and ran, walked, skipped, and hopped across the finish line. They were filled with positive messages and empowerment, and they learned they can do hard things!

Impawsible Pups is a proud sponsor of the GotR 5k, and we love getting to know all these young ladies and watching them accomplish the (seemingly) impawsible!

This week we focused on boundaries, both personal and thresholds to create a calmer, more stable yard. It's important the dogs learn that social time doesn't always mean act hyper and crazy all the time, and it was wonderful! Dogs who normally struggle in the yard were able to have time in a group and make good choices, nervous dogs relaxed a little, and we all enjoyed a little sunshine. So much fun!

Dogs LOVED the bubble play this week! They've been running and jumping and having a blast!

Poor Walter!! Sweet boy tore his toenail over the weekend. It wasn't bothering him anymore, but it was definitely at risk of getting snagged and of infection. Thank you to everyone at Glen Allen and Dr. Lynch for ensuring he get seen so quickly!

At the end of last year I declared that 2024 would be the year of education. I'd focus on what brought me into dog training and I'd learn about all the things that interested me. And the same day I decided that, Renee with let me know about this awesome workshop with Jeff Scarpino and Jason Vasconi. I just spent an amazing 3 days meeting new and lovely people and learning skills to enhance what I already do! Thank you Renee for sharing and thank you Melanie Benware with for hosting!

There's more on the docket for this year!!

And yes. I crochet to help me stay focused during lectures.

When you go to a practice 5k to provide some encouragement and you're a very good boy, the girls may reward you with an offering of sticks!

Walter was a very good boy last night. He joined us and assisted in warm ups, ran a few laps with the girls, and was there for comforting pets as the miles got longer. He ignored ALL THE DISTRACTIONS and did his jobs well, so the girls picked up sticks on their laps to give to him. In the grass, surrounded by pets and sticks is his happy place!
