Spa day for Chacha! She had a bath, brush out (why do the short haired dogs always shed so much more than we ever think they will?!), nails clipped, paw pads moisturized, and took a run on the treadmill!
This girl is ADDICTED to rolling in dirt. Lets all collectively send our hopes to the sky that she stays clean more than two days.
Please take a moment out of your day to take a sniff test so graciously provided by Bailey. Trust, she’s a professional.
His name is Skid - DM for more info! 🤍

Reminder: hydrate your dogs kibble!
Brand doesn’t matter here. ALL kibble has to be extremely dehydrated to keep its form and stay shelf stable. Your dog should be getting a good part of their hydration from their diet to support their health. Kibble alone doesn’t do this.
Thankfully it’s an easy fix. Pour some warm water over your dogs food 10-15 minutes before you feed them to give it time to rehydrate!
4 reasons to crate your dog in the car:
1. Safety
- Although many people like their dogs to be able to move around freely and stick their heads out of the windows, it can be dangerous if there were to be a collision. The dog could be thrown through a window, get severely injured, or even run away!
2. Calm
- Some dogs tend to get anxious when they are inside a moving vehicle. Others get anxious when seeing new people in the streets and all the commotion in town. Using a dog crate allows your dog to be inside a safe space, or a “den.” The crate also blocks out some of the outside stimulus through the windows.
3. Cleanliness
- Not many people want their dog to drag mud into their car, or vomit, go to the bathroom, get dog hair on the seats, scratch their interior, and so on. You get the point, people want to keep their cars clean, and sometimes having a dog makes that difficult. Using a crate contains any mess they may make!
4. Safer travel for multiple dogs
- Traveling with one dog loose in the car is one thing, but add another dog to the equation, and it can get dangerous. If your dogs become too rowdy or get into a dog fight or get tangled, it will most likely distract you from the road. keeping your dogs in their crates eliminates that risk!
Do you keep your dogs crated in the car?
Ways to beat the heat as the summer temps creep back up:
1. Chase the shade! There is a noticeable difference when the sun isn’t beating down on you.
2. Misters! These are way easier and cheaper to install than you might think!
3. Fans! Battery operated or rechargeable fans that can move with you. Pair these with the misters I mentioned and you are golden!
4. Indoor activities! Because sometimes the previous 3 are not always accessible or enough. Limit your time outside and know there are plenty of things you can do to keep your pooch mentally stimulated and physically exercised.
Stay cool my friends!
Don’t waste your money!
Not only are ESA/Therapy Dog/Service Dog not the same thing, but the lack of knowledge around requirements for each make it easy for online scammers to make promises and take your money.
If you’re interested in any of these things, take the time to actually research what these titles mean and what you really need to meet the requirements. But a random website writing a letter for you without ever laying eyes on you or your dog is NOT it.
I get it! I also only own “low maintenance dogs” for a reason! They don’t need to be brushed daily or be professionally groomed every 4-6 weeks.
This does NOT mean you’re off the hook!
You should still be bathing your dogs on a semi regular basis. It doesn’t have to be a long, in depth thing. But it’s good for their skin and to help them shed that extra fur!
You should still be trimming and/or dremmeling their nails! My personal preference is weekly. But I wouldn’t go longer than two weeks.
Dental cleanings! This is really dependent on diet, lifestyle, and genetics. But please pay attention to your dogs mouth and work with your vet to know how often your dog needs this.
Are you already doing all of these things? Is there anything I missed?
I’ve had people asking this question since day one. And for a while, I couldn’t answer it because my dogs didn’t even really SEE my baby until week 2. My husband was caring for our dogs completely after I had her.
And now that she’s around them, there still isn’t a ton of interaction between them. And that’s on purpose.
I see videos all the time of people letting their dogs come up to their brand new babies in a super excited and aroused state. I personally wouldn’t allow this.
But WHY?
Well, a few reasons.
1. Dogs don’t see babies the same way they see other humans. They look different. They move different. They sound different. They even smell different. That means this is an entirely new experience for them because my dogs don’t have experience with babies. I’m not going to allow them in her space without first exposing them to her at a distance and gauging their reactions to her.
2. Babies are FRAGILE. My dogs are not gentle. I don’t call Francois a bowling ball for no reason. Another reason we need to practice a lot of calm and control at a distance. I will slowly decrease the distance as they gain the capability and understanding to be calm and slower moving around her.
3. Most importantly- this one is about Francois specifically. Frenchie has a high prey drive. The baby’s cry triggers that. I can see it in his eyes. Gypsy and Charlie both seem to be calmly interested. It’s a whole different story with Francois.
Now, am I worried? Am I going to have to give him away? No. Because of all of the foundational work we have already done he is already learning not to see the baby that way. But had I risked it and just let him approach her the way I see people doing on the internet? This wouldn’t be the story I’m telling now and honestly it wouldn’t have ended well.
Training and relationship building are the only way I could have handled a dog like Francois and newborn.
My advice is to train your dogs BEFORE baby comes home and set expectations from the very first time your dog ever lays eyes on your baby. 🤍
I LOVE continuing education!
I trained this guy and his mom all the way back in 2021! 🙀
They decided they were ready for some more advanced stuff and wanted to use the ecollar! So we did a few more lessons and now they’re both pros! 😍
No better way to end a Monday than with a sweet lil Frenchie! Kilo and her people are working through our 6 week private lessons program and learning lots 😊

Alright y’all. I guess this guy just moved to AZ. As much as I love to build up and support other trainers, that isn’t the case here. “The Dog Daddy” passes over being heavy handed and crosses the line straight over into abusive. Spread the news far and wide, this isn’t someone to trust with your animals or give your hard earned dollars to.
Happy New Year’s everyone, I hope it’s the best one yet for all of us!! This year has been a pretty interesting one.. I got a lot of preparation done for next year and I’m so excited to blow it up next year!! Since I just moved to Arizona I’m starting the year with a public meet and greet in Scottsdale Arizona on Sunday January 7th! Y’all can meet me and my dogs at 5 PM til 6 PM for photos, I’ll be answering some dog training questions and hanging out with y’all at Scottsdale Quarter outside of True Food Kitchen ( 15191 N Scottsdale Rd
Scottsdale, AZ )..
( you do not need to register for this, you can just show up).
And my first small group training of the year in Arizona is on January 10th! to sign up for that go to: https://dogdaddyy.com

Unsure how your dog would respond to other dogs up close and personal? Let us help! What if my dog doesn’t like other dogs? Then we can give you tips on enrichment and training to keep your dog neutral and fulfilled!
For anyone who has been following along, we’ve slowly been acclimating Charlie to other dogs and helping her understand boundaries. This is the second time she’s played with Winnie the Samoyed but the first time without a muzzle. There was zero hostility and because they both enjoy pushy and rough play it went well. This kind of play isn’t the preference for all dogs, including my other two. Luckily, Charlie is also learning to respect boundaries set by myself and other dogs and to coexist peacefully. Step by step, she is getting there 🤍
Your dogs stay with us just got a little more fun! I know you’re wondering how that could be possible. 😉 @canyonstatecanine is now offering lure coursing as an available add on service for boarding and daycare clients! We will also have this available as a drop in service if you don’t need care but still want to bring your dog by for a quick run and some fun! Shout out to @swiftpaws_official for creating such a fun time for all our furry friends!
“She’s looking at ME! She never looks at me when we walk!” That feeling when you can feel your relationship with your dog improving 🥰 Presley is a STRONG puller and her mom hasn’t been able to walk her lately because of that. But look how happy and comfortable they both look! 🤍🤍 ——— DM us or Email [email protected] today to schedule a one-hour, in depth phone consultation for training today!
Have you ever tried this? Now that you know.. go try it! Come back and let me know if your dog needs to cut back calories or if they’re getting extra treats this week! 🤪
I am seeing an uptick in symptoms of laser light syndrome. 9 times out of 10 if you’re having your pet chase a laser pointer, I can tell before you confirm for me that it’s true. They chase any reflection of light, as well as shadows, sometimes obsessively. It can also have a negative impact on their eyes! I know you’re well meaning and it seems like your pet may be having fun and you think it’s cute or funny. But the truth is that this just isn’t good for them mentally. Shoot me a message if you’d like a link to articles on this topic! Have you used a laser pointer with your pet? If so, have you noticed they chase other lights and shadows?
Super short version for those who asked. Let me know in the comments if you want me to go further into this explanation in stories, or if you need a link to any quality training equipment! If you’re tagged it’s because you asked for more info, sorry if you asked and I missed you!
We LOVE our @dogpacer_treadmill over here!! Has your dog ever used a treadmill? If not, are you trying it out this summer? - We offer treadmill runs here at CSC in Surprise AZ! If you don’t have one of your own, hit us up to schedule a run for your pooch!
Lacking enrichment inspiration? Here is a fun one to try! DM if you need the scratch board link!

We’re working on a prettier finish - but recall practice with Bentley is going well 💛
Both my little guys this month are fear reactive. Teaching them that keeping their focus on me not only keeps them safe, but always is the most FUN and REWARDING option! After a month of working hard this is what you get. A dog who is literally jumping to do the next thing you ask. No matter who/what is around. This is relationship building!!
Good morning from this months board and trains, Lily(Black) and Teddy (Yellow). I think these two will be great friends this month as they both learn lots and mature into the dogs their people hoped for!
