Wellness Wednesday: letting your dog sniff is good for their brain, stress levels, and heart rate! Pausing for a sniff lowers your dog's heart rate and stress levels, and can actually help tire them out more than running. Do you notice a difference when you let your dog sniff? Let us know in the comments!

For dogs who enjoy the company of other canine friends, playtime offers physical and mental benefits. Dogs are social beings, just like humans, and spending time together is good for their well-being. However, dogs can be picky about their playmates, so finding compatible pals is important. Introducing your dog to other dogs by going on parallel walks together can help them get acquainted and see if they get along.

Did you know you're allowed to do things without your dog? Whether you have an over-exhausting puppy, or are stressed by your dog's anxiety and reactivity, it's absolutely OK to take time to yourself. You don't have to entertain your dog every minute of every day, and you don't have to take them everywhere you go. What's something you could do for yourself today?

Cooperative care means teaching your dog how to relax and enjoy basic husbandry like nail trims, baths, having their ears cleaned and more. It also means teaching your dog to relax at the vet, groomer, or in other potentially stressful situations.

If your dog struggles in these areas, or you have a new pup and want to ensure they succeed going forward, we can help! Book an appointment today: https://buff.ly/47H0gLY

Have you ever tried ? It's kind of like AirBnB for dog friendly spaces: you can rent someone's property to have a private dog park just for you and your pup. It's amazing for all dogs, but especially for dogs that struggle with reactivity around strangers or other dogs. Do you have a favorite Sniff Spot? Let us know in the comments!

FAQ Friday: why did my dog behave aggressively if his tail was wagging?

This is a really common point of confusion: doesn't a wagging tail mean your dog was happy? Unfortunately, no. Yes, some tail wags are happy - but tail wagging can also indicate distress, arousal, aggression, or fear. So how do you know the difference?

-A high, flagged tail (like in this photo) can indicate aggression and arousal, especially if the tail is wagging very quickly in short wags.

-A tail level to the spine swinging in big, wide swings or in big circles ("helicopter tail") indicates friendly, relaxed feelings.

-A tail dropped below the spine and wagging quickly (either dropped near the legs or tucked underneath your dog) can indicate nervousness and fear.

Have you noticed your dog's various emotions around wagging their tail? Any you're confused about? Let us know in the comments!

When we say "force free" training, what we mean is that we don't intentionally cause harm to train dogs. Life is indeed full of aversive events- so why would we add more? Training without pain is just as effective to get the results you need, and you get the added bonus of a better, stronger relationship with your dog. Are you ready to train without pain? Visit us at https://buff.ly/3XvWdgG to learn more!

No yard for your reactive dog? No provlem! We love — you can rent someone else’s yard for your dog to play in! They have them all over the country. Since Fenrir moved to Massachusetts with Lauren, her favorite has been in Connecticut! But there are a lot in the Eugene/Springfield area in Oregon too!

This is not a paid ad, we just love SniffSpot a lot 😂

Having a portable ‘zen mat’ can help anxious dogs acclimate to new environments. This is anxious/reactive dog Tamara. She’s relaxing with her people outside of a dog park she’s never visited before thanks to the positive association they’ve built with her special blanket. Way to chill, Tamara! 🐾

Traveling with a variety of treats can be challenging while camping/hiking/adventuring. Squeezable pouches make for a convenient and tasty treat for your pup. They are essentially mess free and can also be easily stashed in a pocket or bag.
What special treats does your dog enjoy while in the outdoors?

With another heat wave approaching remember that it’s ok to skip walks or to walk early/later in the day. We’re thankful for neighbors who provide fresh water 🤗

*stitch incoming* Our certified trainer Jesse takes safety seriously when working with dogs, both for physical safety and for the emotional and mental well being of you and your dog! 🐾 #dogtraining #forcefree #fearfree #eugeneoregon

A chin rest is a great behavior for helping with relaxation or for use as a “start button” for cooperative care! #dogtraining #forcefree #fearfree #eugeneoregon

Nail Trimming Doesn’t Have to Be A Battle
Nail Trimming Doesn’t Have to Be A Battle

Nail clipping doesn’t have to be a battle! Our trainer Jesse shows you how to break it down using pattern games and shaping to make it smooth and fun for everyone involved. When you practice with your own dog, make sure you take it slow—going at your dog’s pace lets them get comfortable with each step so they’ll feel great about the finished behavior!

When muzzle training is a game, everyone wins! #dogtraining #eugeneoregon #positivereinforcement #dogsoforegon #pnwdogs

“The art of doing less” Relaxing and watching the world go by can be a great skill for young pups to learn, but it must be practiced. Kali, a year old aussiedoodle, is practicing after a nice training walk with our trainer Keanna! #dogtraining #eugeneoregon #positivereinforcement
