Energy to burn? 🔥
Time to think outside the box.
Actually, it's time to think about them!

Dig in your cardboard recycling for some dog safe items for you to hide some special little morsels.
The trick with this?
There is a sweet spot.
Not too hard for them so they just "give up".
Not too easy either or we can miss giving them true enrichment.

Many dogs that are just starting with these enrichment activities do need encouragement from us at first, but then we need to grab a coffee, sit down and watch them figure it out.
Let them just go for it.
That's half the fun for them and for you !

That rolled up towel can get boring too!
Do it lengthwise and then add a loose knot. Too easy still? Put that towel in a box, or let them smell around the whole house and find where you have "hidden it".
Do a "double burrito" where a smaller rolled up towel is tied up in a larger one.

Set up an obstacle course with appropriate and safe "jumps" to go over and then think about using a kitchen chair on its side so your dog can safely crawl under the gap too.

Variety is key here and if you have a few dog puzzles, kongs or lick mats lying around, hide them and make them a challenge to even get to.

What have you always wanted to try with them?
Maybe a full circle "roll over"?
Maybe targeting an object or even beginning scent work?

Keep these ideas up your sleeve for those rainy days, well worth remembering.

A reminder about trigger stacking and the holidays. Many dog behaviour problems ( including dog bites) happen during seasonal holidays because the triggers for fear and aggression have been compounded due to TRIGGER STACKING.

-That means while your dog might ordinarily be fine with one visitor, they might not be okay with 10 visitors.
-Your dog might be ordinarily be fine with your adult neighbour, he might not be okay with your neighbour PLUS their loud children PLUS the smell of cooking food.

Do not assume that your dog is fine with the seasonal upheaval related to holidays. Keep your dog closely supervised and check often for the signs of stress. Have a quiet room ready where your dog can be placed to de-stress if he becomes overwhelmed.

Holiday bite related tragedies can be avoided with some careful planning and supervision.

Meet Brulee – as sweet as the dessert she’s named after, with just the right touch of sass to keep life interesting! 🍮 This 8-month-old Great Dane puppy had a rough start in life, which left her on the smaller side for now. Whether she stays a “fun-sized” Dane or surprises us by catching up, one thing’s for sure: her heart is already full-sized. 💕

Brulee is a perfect mix of sugar and spice – affectionate, playful, and full of puppy mischief. She’s the kind of girl who will melt your heart one second and make you laugh the next. With her resilience and zest for life, Brulee is ready to trade in her rocky beginning for a forever family who will love her for the sweet, sassy masterpiece she is.

Not all dogs growl or bite when they’re stressed. In fact, many don’t!

Instead, they give subtle signs like yawning, turning away, licking their lips, or stiffening up - hoping you will step in and help.

These signs matter — and noticing them early keeps everyone safer. 🎯

Meet Tut – the Great Dane with the “Teen Spirit” (and the manners to match… someday).

Tut is an estimated to be 18-24 month old blue Great Dane, smack dab in the middle of his teenager phase—which means he’s tall enough to reach your counters, smart enough to know he shouldn’t, and mischievous enough to try anyway.

He’s great with other dogs, but his “OMG NEW FRIEND!” enthusiasm means he plays like a linebacker—so, no small or delicate pups, please.

True to his “Velcro Dane” heritage, Tut’s specialty is becoming one with his human. He’ll lean on you until you’re holding him up, rub against you like an 100-pound cat, and look deeply into your eyes like he’s reading your soul (and possibly checking for snacks).

He’s also got the most expressive, adorable ears and a signature strut—a prancing, high-stepping gait worthy of a Tennessee Walking Horse, which we lovingly call The Tut Strut.

It’s suspected that as a puppy, Tut broke one of the bones in his hind leg, leaving it a few millimeters shorter than the other. The vet says it may cause a little arthritis later in life, but it doesn’t slow him down one bit—he’s still a galloping goofball with places to be and people to lean on. You can see countless videos of his play with other dogs on our Facebook and Instagram.

He may be on the smaller side for a Dane, but Tut’s personality is Texas-sized—funny, loving, and just a little over the top. With continued training and manners work, he’s going to be the perfect blend of gentle giant and goofball sidekick.

If you’ve got space in your home, your heart, and your lap (he insists he’s a lap dog), Tut is ready to lean his way into your life forever.

Tut is neutered and UTD on vet care, vaccines and preventatives. He is currently being fostered in the Nashville TN area. We are willing to transport within a reasonable distance for the right fit. Out of respect for our foster family's time and privacy, we do NOT arrange meet and greet without an approved application on file.
