Halloween is only a few weeks away - is your dog ready?

For this week’s Training Tip Tuesday, here’s an article I wrote about all of the dangers and concerns around Halloween for our pet dogs. From helping your pup be comfortable in a costume, to dealing with the doorbell ringing again and again, see this website for useful info!

Sunny is a little unsure about her new neighbors!

I like to let dogs investigate novel items that they’re nervous about, in their own time and on a loose leash, if possible (and without messing up neighbors’ yards of course!). Often letting dogs check things out helps them gain confidence!

It looks like this conversation I had 16 years ago is appropriate again for today!

Good luck to all the California puppy owners whose dogs might see real rain for the first time in their lives today!

Tripp is a one-year-old Lab who never really learned good leash manners, and gets a little too excited when he sees other dogs, or people passing by his house. This has started a “vicious cycle” in which he gets fewer walks, because they are difficult for his owner. I’m looking forward to jumpstarting his better behavior!

I really hope this works, because puppy mills are awful, AWFUL places that often produce unhealthy and behaviorally unsound dogs.

AB 506 holds pet sellers accountable, requiring them to disclose the pet’s origin and health information, and AB 519 prohibits third-party pet brokers, particularly online pet brokers, from selling puppies and other animals bred by others for profit.

In my home, we're excited that mushroom season is starting (come on, rain!), because my husband is an amateur mycologist and he loves foraging for tasty chanterelles, lions mane, elven saddles, and more!

But there are a few species of mushrooms that are fatal to dogs (and honestly, we don't know if they are the same ones that are fatal to humans).

I recommend that everyone have the Animal Poison Hotline numbers in their phones at all times (I'll put them in the comments) so that you can quickly call if you need to.

What to do if your dog eats a wild mushroom.

Wally is a pointer mix who has issues with certain people, especially guests int he home, and certain dogs, especially when he is on a leash - not uncommon. We’ve done a virtual consultation and will meet in person once the anti-anxiety medication that the vet has recommended has a chance to work, and Wally’s “dad” gets a muzzle and takes some time to help Wally get comfortable with it - because that is the most responsible thing to do!

This is too funny, and utterly charming! I’ll just add: I already have a (wonderful) husband. And I’d take the guy considering the sword on Etsy.

If you’re out here asking, “Where the heck is my husband?” like RAYE… Girl, we don’t know... This is an animal shelter. (but we did make some solid, educated guesses).

What we do know? Your future dog is ready to move in today. 🐾 No ring required, just snacks, cuddles, and endless unconditional love. Come meet them at our Colorado Springs & Pueblo shelters! 🐶💖

Here’s Rory’s dad showing off how Rory can “walk the plank” on the edge of a neighbor’s yard. I love it when dogs can be challenged with little bits of “suburban agility”, as I call it!
