These guys haven’t gotten much time outside the last few days because it has been sooooo hot. So, I figured they could play outside for a bit before I took their pictures. Jokes on me because they’re mud puppies and are having the time of their lives getting completely filthy.. I see baths in their futures 🐾🐾🐾🐾 #muddypaws #puppyplaytime #nopics
These four lovely ladies are the last of our older pups currently looking for forever homes! Macaroon, Fly, Jesse and Piper are all amazing dogs who’ve been crate trained, leash trained, and loved on by us but really want families of their own to cuddle up with for these lovely fall days I know we have coming!

Happy Waggin Wednesday doods! We showed you our Waggin tails…show us yours! #waggingtails #WagginWednesday #labradoodle #summer #summervibes
Happy Saturday morning from Jesse! This sweet 6 month old girl would love to have a furever home of her own to spend all the coming fall mornings with. You can sip pumpkin spice on your porch or deck and she’ll happily curl up at your feet(or more likely in your lap) while you enjoy the fall weather. She’d love to go to the apple orchard or pumpkin patch with you too! And greet trick or treaters!

Spent some more time outside with the poodles today. Such a happy bunch of babies and the weather has been soooo nice!

Fly is almost 6 months old now and is yet to find her perfect family. I can’t imagine why. Look at that face? She is such a sweetheart and is so excited for cuddles and walks, play time and snacks, especially dinnertime. She will crawl up in your lap to snuggle, gives hugs like a toddler and is eager to learn anything you want to teach her. She’ll go for walks and hikes with you, sleeps all night in her crate, is doing well at potty training and is just a great little dog. She’ll weigh around 25-30lbs as an adult so she’s the perfect size too!

Ronnie is still on the search for a furever family! I can’t believe he’s still with us. I mean.. look at that face?! How has he not been snapped up. Anyway, Ronnie says he’d love a home with older kids to play with, a family who likes to go for long walks, take couch naps and car rides, never forgets to give him belly rubs and his favorite snacks and loves to have fun. He’d like a family who will spend time on training because he has a sharp mind and loves to learn. He especially loves showing off what he has learned and getting all those “good boy” ear scratches. #bestestboy #aussiedoodle #aussiedoodlepuppy #lovetolearn #smartpuppy #fureverfamily #takemehome

One last Tongue Out Tuesday from Macaroon and friends today. These four pups are 4-6 months old, crate trained, leash trained and ready for their furever homes. They sleep through the night quietly, play well together and with the adult dogs and all four have awesome temperaments, super soft coats and so much love to give!

There’s a common misconception that your dog, especially if it’s a high energy dog, needs to be doing something at all times in order to be happy. As you can see here…that’s not really the case. Adult dogs sleep up to 16 hrs a day and they NEED that amount of sleep. Without enough rest and sleep, your dog can easily develop problem behaviors, anxiety etc. obviously they need exercise and activity too but when I shot this video, my three dogs had slept a full 8 hour night, played outside for about 45 minutes and had been back on the couch sleeping for about an hour. They’ll stay there pretty much the entire morning as long as I am sitting here working #letyourdogsleep #restisimportant #dogbehavior #downtime
Happy Tongue Out Tuesday from Piper🥰 She’s been practicing her leash skills so she’ll be ready when her furever family finds her! She’d love to take nice long autumn walks with you!

Happy Sunday from these two hooligans🤣

This shouldn’t be controversial but I keep seeing people, trainers included, saying that it’s totally fine if your dog doesn’t ever interact with other dogs. However, that’s not really how dog psychology works. Dogs are social animals by nature and they NEED social interaction, specifically with other dogs. In order to learn good communication skills Dogs learn a lot about social hierarchy, communication, and appropriate behavior by interacting with other dogs. Playing with other dogs is not only entertainment, but it is also a really important part of social learning. This is why we start our pups at a pretty early age interacting with safe adult dogs other than their mother. Sure, mom hangs out with them too and teaches them social cues, but seeing her with other adults dogs and watching her interactions is also very important for their learning.
Dogs learn boundaries, self-control, and nonverbal communication through play. Dogs have a natural understanding of the dynamics within a pack that affect their interactions. It is important to respect and understand these dynamics.
You can love the #%*+ out of your dog and still have several WTF moments every day with them. It is completely normal to love them and want to spend all of your time with them.. but also think about all the reasons you should have a dog or all the reasons this particular dog was a bad idea. Don’t beat yourself up about it…nothing worth having is easy BUT with consistent training and patience, you’ll start having less WTF moments and more “omg you’re so cute” moments. #trainyourdog #consistencyiskey #wtfmoment #ilovemydog #mydogisamenace #whathaveidone #buthessocute
Happy Waggin Wednesday from our crew of kind of wet, sort of grungy doods this morning. They didn’t mind at all that the grass is dewy, they’ve just discovered they LOVE running in the backyard like the big dogs!

Recall training is one of the single most important things you can teach your pup. But where do you start?
First, decide on a cue (a word you’ll use). Most people use “come or “here”.
Start in a low distraction area, like inside your house. Show the pup a toy or treat (make sure it’s a high value toy or treat) and then say the cue and praise him when you are sure he is moving toward you.
Slowly, once he has the hang of it, you can begin using the cue before showing the toy/treat. Always praise him for coming to you.
As he gets really good at his recall in a low distraction environment you should slowly begin adding in distractions like other people in the area, a friendly dog walking by etc. the goal is to make sure your dog always comes to you regardless of the distraction because you’re the most interesting thing to him. Remember, patience and consistency are key!

Pepper spent some time outside with her pups yesterday, teaching them to follow riley. It’s important for pups to learn early to pay attention to their surroundings and to their people. Having their attention on you makes training so much easier in the long run. We think they’re doing a pretty good job at 5 weeks old. Following along like baby ducks🤣 #poodlepuppy #trainyourdog #recalltraining #smartpuppy #startearly
Where are the families looking for a beautiful, allergy friendly family dog who can double as a therapy dog or ESA? It’s Gerald..he’s your guy. He is such a sweet, snuggly love with that laid back personality and eager to learn nature that will make him a great therapy dog or ESA. Gerald LOVES people and attention, cuddles especially and would be a great addition to your family! He also just happens to be crate trained and walks nicely on his leash.

Starting our Saturday out slow today. Siren and I sat on the porch while I had some coffee…she didn’t get any🤣. Then Grace and I went for a walk around the neighborhood because this weather is just too good to pass up. Followed by a few minutes on the couch with Si while the cats napped on a chair. And now I think I’m finally ready to get some work done. I keep reminding myself that’s it’s ok to not go 90mph all the time🤣 so now I’m reminding you guys too! Happy Saturday!💕 #slowdown #saturdaymorning #walkies #MorningSunshine
