If you're thinking about adding a puppy to the family, or know someone who is, please be smart about it. Many people put more thought into shopping for groceries than getting a dog who will (hopefully) be with you for at least a dozen years. Find out the questions you should ask, the resources you have available, and choose wisely: https://www.gollygear.com/ProductCart/pc/How-to-find-the-right-puppy-for-you-d111.htm

Is your dog's ID tag up to date? If you've moved, or changed your phone number, it's a smart idea to get an updated tag for your dog. Even if your dog is microchipped, it's often easier for someone to give you a call. One day we were home and noticed a Bassett Hound wandering in front of our house. We grabbed him and brought him inside our fence. Fortunately, he was wearing a collar and tag. We called the owner, who lived a couple blocks away. At first, they didn't believe us - they thought we were pulling some kind of scam, because "our dog is in our yard." We finally convinced them to go look. Needless to say, they arrived at our house less than 10 minutes later. Their dog was found before they knew he was gone, thanks to a current I.D. tag. Check out the selection: https://www.gollygear.com/ProductCart/pc/Color-Choice-Tags-by-Red-Dingo-c62.htm

Panama Earl's color is green. His mom tries to get all of his accessories in green. Fortunately, we were able to get his EZ Wrap harness in his signature color. If you color-code your dogs (we do - we have four!), be sure to ask if you don't see the color you need. If it's available, we're happy to get it for you! https://www.gollygear.com/ProductCart/pc/EZ-Wrap-Step-in-Harness-29p2020.htm

Did you know that Yorkshire Terriers' original jobs was not pampered pup at all! They worked in the Yorkshire mills as ratters. Most Yorkies today (we hope!) will never see a rat, but, like all dogs, they're happier when they have a job. In this week's post you'll find some ways to take advantage of your dog's natural instincts and give them a "job" to do: https://www.gollygear.com/blog/2024/08/give-your-dog-a-job/

Lots of the dog training games we play include our dogs picking something up and doing something with the object - Ring Stacking, Put your Toys Away. "Pick it up!" is a training game all by itself. Once your dog gets the idea, it can apply to any object you choose - even a cardboard paper towel tube. Or a can from the fridge. Just an idea... https://2-minute-trainer.com/2022/12/23/pick-it-up-dog-game/

Simon isn't very good at hot weather. It's a mostly-black dog thing. His K9 Kool Coat keeps him comfy. Its light weave and bright white let the breeze through and reflect the heat. Dampening it with plain water refreshes it anytime. There's still lots of Summer. Check out the K9 Kool Coat for your dog: https://www.gollygear.com/ProductCart/pc/K9-Kool-Coat-38p15285.htm

You look into those puppy-dog eyes (literally) and your heart melts. You'd never betray your dog's trust. Or would you? We recently read about a study that vividly demonstrated how easy it is to lose a dog's faith in you. In this week's 2-Minute Training tip, you'll get the particulars: https://2-minute-trainer.com/2024/07/19/dogs-trust/

How many times have you found yourself saying "My dog won't" ? In this week's post there's the dilemma of a dog who needed a Choke-Free collar but "won't" get over fear of the sound of hook-and-loop tape. Of course, as retailers, we supported the return. As trainers, it made us sad. So we devised a plan for getting past "won't:" https://www.gollygear.com/blog/2024/07/when-your-dog-wont/

Back in the winter, we found out that when it's too cold to walk your dog outside, there are indoor malls that allow dogs! We're revisiting that notion because of the heat of summer. Sometimes it's too toasty out, but a visit to a nice, air-conditioned mall might give you both a chance to get out and stretch your legs: https://www.gollygear.com/blog/2023/12/mall-walking-with-dog/

What games do you play with your dog? Anything that's as much fun for you as your dog? We don't know about you, but "Fetch" isn't all that interesting. We know some dogs love it and could play forever, but engaging our dogs' brains is more fun for us and the dogs. In our training tip this week, we're asking you to try one little game, two minutes a day, and see what other kinds of fun you and your dog can have together. https://2-minute-trainer.com/2024/07/12/play-training-games/

Beef Heart Treats look ginormous. Which they sort of are, because have you seen the size of beef animals? These are freeze-dried slices of muscle meat, about 1/4 inch thick. They're easily broken into whatever size pieces you need for your dog, without creating a crumbly mess. Produced in Wisconsin, these single ingredient treats are perfect for dogs who love real meat. Available in try-it 2.5 oz. pouches, or already-addicted 8 oz. bulk size. https://www.gollygear.com/ProductCart/pc/Beef-Heart-Treats-16p18473.htm

There's a reason the Wrap-N-Go is a best seller. We heard more about it this week with the scary storms here in the Chicago area. The thunder-boomers were powerful, and dogs who normally don't care much were startled enough to take off. Luckily, the Wrap-N-Go harness lived up to its no-escape feature. The dogs pictured aren't the ones who attempted a get-away. Just glad everyone we heard about is safe. https://www.gollygear.com/ProductCart/pc/Wrap-N-Go-Harness-by-Bark-Appeal-32p6054.htm
