Dogby's subscription boxes help you learn about your dog, have fun together, and enrich their life. We want you and your dog to live a great life together.

Our Discovery Kits are thoughtfully designed by a dog behavior expert to make it easy and fun for you to learn more about your dog, enrich their life, and deepen your connection.

Most dogs won’t play with toys or explore in the yard by themselves for very long, which puts a lot of pressure on us to entertain them and help them burn energy. They are the most time-effective way to enrich your dog’s life and give them more fun.

27/03/2024

Did you know that approximately 70% of the dogs on this planet rely on scavenging as their main source of food? They spend large portions of their days searching for food. And although our pet dogs have secure, reliable food sources, most of them still have the instincts to forage, the urge to do it for extended periods of time, and get great satisfaction out of it.

Food puzzles work in all different ways, from balls that dogs roll to get treats to fall out to mats that you smear with treats for them to lick to toys you wedge big treats into so they have to problem solve to get them out. What's your favorite kind of food puzzle? 🤔

25/03/2024

Food puzzles are dog toys that are designed to dispense food. They are our favorite enrichment activity to add fun and satisfaction to a dog’s daily routine.

Because food puzzles keep dogs busy for longer periods of time, they are the perfect way to keep your dog out of trouble. Give your dog a food puzzle at a time when they are normally getting up to something naughty, like pestering you for attention, barking out the window, or chewing on your furniture.

The target stick from Karen Pryor Clicker Training has a simple concept: teach your dog that they get rewarded for bopping the ball at the end of the stick with their nose. That simple skill opens up a world of fun and fast moving games that bring you closer together through synchronicity. As a bonus, they are great for burning your dog's physical and mental energy indoors 🤩

The training plan for the target stick might seem long, but most dogs will have it down in just a few 5-minute training sessions, so don't let it hold you back!

The I Woof You Discovery Kit is available now! 😍 This box is all about the dog-human bond, and explores how dogs' ability to form deep, strong bonds was essential to their evolution and impacts our relationships with them today.

For decades, scientist thought that owners were deluded when they said that their dogs loved them. But over the last couple of decades, advances in genetic, neurologic, and hormonal research gave us a better peek inside dog’s heads and hearts then we’ve ever had before, and it’s become quite clear that they really do adore us and get so much from their interactions with us.

Did you know that when dogs take in the world by smell on a walk, they experience time differently from us? They have the ability to smell the past, present, AND future 🤯

Our Smellscapes Discovery Kits let you dive into your dog's world of scents with them, but they're only available until the end of February!

Want to learn more about your dog and how they see (and smell) the world? Be sure to follow us! 🐾

You'd be surprised at how small of treats dogs will work for, which is great because using tiny treats lets you reward your dog frequently without worrying about digestive issues.

If your dog is under 30 pounds, you might even go smaller than pea-sized with your treats.

One thing that can keep us from training our dogs is that it feels too hard to fit it into our schedules. But, it really doesn’t need to take much time! 5 minutes is plenty of time for a training session.

Not only are shorter training sessions easier to fit into your schedule, they also work better for many dogs. By ending the session when it’s still a fun, positive experience for them, you leave your dog wanting more and feeling excited for the next session.

Make the most of your time by removing any distractions that might pull your attention away from training. Your dog will love having your undivided attention. It will also make it easier for you to maintain a fast pace in your training, which will help you get more done in your short time and will encourage your dog to stay focused. Research suggests that a rate of reinforcement of roughly 10 treats per minute (earning a treat every six seconds!) is an ideal training pace for many dogs.

Training your dog at home can be easier said than done. But there are a handful of easy things you can do to increase your odds of success and to make the process a fun bonding experience for you and your dog. Over the next few days, we're going to share a few of our top tips for making training sessions more productive and enjoyable.

One way to succeed in training is to set your dog up to win, even if that means taking a step backward. Learning isn’t linear, so there will be times when you need to drop down a step (or two or three) so your dog can have more success than failure again.

Be sure to follow us to learn the rest of our training tips! 🐾

Scent work has been exploding in popularity, and it's easy to see why. It's completely different than most of the activities we do with our dogs and it's surprisingly easy to teach at home. Plus, the mental effort of scent work is exhausting, and the sniffing is calming, too! To top it off, it can be done indoors, which makes it a perfect activity for work nights, rainy days, and dark winters.

The scent work kit in the Smellscapes Discovery Kits are a great way to explore your dog's smell while having fun and learning together! The Smellscapes kits are available now until the end of February.

Our next Discovery Kit is almost here! 👏 Kona is excited... can you tell?

Get ready to explore the critical role that love and connection play in dog's evolution and how that impacts dog-human relationships today with our I Woof You kits. ♥️

Has your dog made you more outdoorsy than you were before? I definitely think so!

I've always loved to be outside, but my dogs have helped me learn to appreciate any and all weather, even cold, gray, drizzly winter days. In fact, these have become some of my favorite times to get outside together, because I know we will have the trails to ourselves! 🐾

29/01/2024

Another one of our favorite items to repurpose for our dogs is a modular play couch! We know this item can be a bit of a splurge, but it’s something you can use throughout your dog’s whole lifespan.

Our founder Lindsey loves that it’s easy for her senior dog, Kona, to get on and off their play couch, which gives Kona more independence and makes the couch a perfect spot for snuggling.

Play couches can also be used it to make obstacle courses for energy-burning indoor enrichment.

Plus, their firm memory foam cushions means they make great nap and sleeping spots and could potentially replace a dog bed to help justify the cost!

We love the Nugget, which has covers that wash well and are very easy to take off and put back on.

26/01/2024

Refillable baby food pouches are the perfect way to dispense treats on walks and hikes, especially in the middle of winter since you can use them with gloves on! ❄️🧤

We love to fill them with canned dog food, which dogs tend to love just as much as treats and has the added benefit of being a nutritionally balanced food.

Refillable baby food pouches are particularly great for:
- Tough training goals: Keep your dog engaged and motivated with high value foods like peanut butter, whipped cream cheese, or tripe.

- When you're doing a lot of training: Because you're using a real dog food as a treat, you can give treats generously without worrying about the impacts on their health.

- Dogs on limited diets: You can use the canned food from a prescription or limited-ingredient diet as a treat.

- Picky eaters: It broadens your treat options to things that would otherwise be too messy and allows you to constantly try new things.

24/01/2024

Have you ever given your dog a food puzzle only for them to make a mess all over your floor? To protect your floor from the mess, we recommend using a splat mat, which is designed to be used under high chairs.

It makes it much more fun to give Kona any sort of messy or stinky treat! I can relax and relish in her joy, because I know my rug is safe and clean up will be a breeze. 🤩

When selecting a splat mat, look for a vegan leather one. They stay in place much better than fabric versions and hold up to dog claws. We've had one for 3 years, and even with daily use, it still looks brand new after a cleaning.

Stay tuned for more of our favorite non-dog products to use for training and enrichment!

The Snuffle Mat from The Waggly Hound is one of our favorite food puzzles! These mats come in different sizes, making them the perfect activity for any dog.

It can be incredibly frustrating when your dog interrupts work calls by barking, misbehaving, or begging for attention. But if you can think ahead to identify the times when you really need to your dog to chill, there are a few tricks you can proactively implement to get through the work day calmly.

This is the final post in our series of tips for working from home with a dog. Here's our complete list of tips. Check out our previous posts to learn more!

1. To keep your dog in a calming, cozy spot during the workday
2. To exercise them and give them enrichment in the morning and again at lunchtime
3. To plan ahead to keep them quiet during key times of the day

We hope these ideas help you and your dog live symbiotically on workdays! Be sure to follow us and check out our blog for more tips and tricks.

Many dogs expect fun and interaction whenever their people are around, which can be challenging when you're working from home and can't engage with them. If you and your dog struggle with this, one way to help them understand that work time for you means nap time for them is to schedule predictable exercise and enrichment windows into your day, so they know when they can expect fun and interaction.

We recommend planning a pre-work exercise session to start the day off right and then a brief afternoon session to help keep them content until the workday ends. Here are a couple tips to help you succeed:

1. High intensity exercise that is also mentally or socially enriching will get you the most benefit.
- Off-leash hiking, playing with other dogs, or playing fetch in the yard are great options.
- If you can’t do one of those, try to choose moderate intensity exercise with lots of mental stimulation. For instance, you might take your dog on a walk where they are allowed to choose the route and sniff as much as they want.

2. Know that the routine will get easier for both of your with time. The new habit will get easier for you with practice, and consistency will help your dog understand when it's time to chill and when to expect fun.
- If you are having trouble getting a routine going, remember that each time you do it will make it a little easier the next day.
- In particular, taking time away from work in the afternoon can feel hard. One wait to make it easier is to pair your dog's exercise with something else, like your lunch break or a call where you don't need to do much.
- Remember, the days where you are feeling rushed and tempted to skip your dog's afternoon enrichment are when you will probably need it the most. If you are already stressed or on edge, your dog’s increased energy will make it worse. And studies show that brief breaks help us be more productive and creative, too!

Working from home when you have a dog is amazing... 90% of the time. You get a companion and cuddle buddy, and your dog doesn’t have to spend the day home alone. Over the next several days, we're going to share some tips and tricks for the times when it's not going so smoothly.

Today, we're sharing tips to set up a calming environment that will help if your dog is ever restless or agitated or barks disruptively.

Be sure to follow us for more tips to keep your dog calmer and quieter during your workday (and any other time you need some peace and quiet!).

What's the one thing most dogs crave more than anything else? Quality time with their people. Especially on busy weekdays, it can feel hard to carve out more time for your dog, but it doesn't have to be much. Just 5-10 minutes of one-on-one time can make a difference for your dog.

Is there a spot in your regular routine where you could add 5-10 minutes of interactive fun with your dog? Most of our team prefers after dinner, but do whatever works for you and your dog. Each day, just do whatever activity you and your dog are in the mood for.

Kona and I have been having fun with the Dogby Treat Pocks. We've done scavenger hunt, a modified version of NoseWork, and even started teaching her to fetch!

You can get the Treat Pockets and detailed, easy-to-follow instructions for each activity I mentioned above with our latest Dogby Duo box! Head over to our website to learn more.

Dogs have a real-life super power that changes their understanding of the world in ways we can’t even comprehend. In fact, their sense of smell is somewhere between 1,000 and 1,000,000 times better than ours! 😮

Our Smellscapes Discovery Kit explores how dogs' smell impacts their daily lives, from how they explore their environment to how they communicate with other dogs to how they find food.

Dogs follow a predatory motor pattern sequence when hunting, whether for real or for play. Once they’ve started the sequence, each behavior in it triggers the next one.

Since the predatory motor pattern ends with dissecting and then eating the prey, it makes a lot of sense that dogs want to end play sessions by shredding the toy. It’s the next step in the pattern that is ingrained in them!

If you want to explore your dog's hunting instincts, our Playful Predators Discovery Kit is available until tomorrow! 🐾

29/12/2023

Our Playful Predators Discovery Kit had so many great enrichment activities to explore your dog's instinctive hunting skills and interests!

Which activity has your dog enjoyed the most?
- Cavalettis
- Flirt pole
- Tug of war
- Twist Toss food puzzle ball
- The squeeze tube for treats

We try to be very thoughtful about what goes into each Discovery Kit, and we always look for multipurpose items, so even if you and your dog don't love the activity we suggest for an item, you can still find a way to use it and have fun. One of our favorite multifunctional toys in our current Discovery Kits is the burrow toy from ZippyPaws! We love using them as a food puzzle that lets your dog express scavenging behaviors like snuffling and problem solving to get food, but they can be used in so many other ways! More ways to use the Burrow Toy: - Play keep away, fetch, or roughhouse like you would with any stuffed animal. - Swap the critters for balls, other favorite stuffed animals, or chew toys. - Play tug with it so the critters or your dog's favorite balls fly out. - Use the critters to practice catching different objects. - Roll or crumple newspaper around treats to make small balls and stick them in the burrow.

Here's your reminder that if it takes your dog a few (or many) tries to understand an activity, it's okay! Remember that the goal is to have fun with your do. So, stay positive, always be kind, and do what you can to make it easier so they are more likely to succeed. What's your favorite way to use the cavaletti set in our current Discovery Kit? 🐾

Some of our subscription boxes have instructions for suggested training games that can make your daily life with your dog a little easier and help you resolve any issues that cause stress between the two of you. We always pick training games that are straight-forward and achievable, but it can still be daunting to tackle a big goal. Here's a quick example of the training game in the current Discovery Kits, Playful Predators. As you can see, it's really not too complicated! In time, this simple game will help me curb her squirrel hunting behavior on walks.

The Tail Teaser in our Playful Predators Discovery Kit is an easy and realistic way to recreate the feeling of chasing prey at home. The activity can be done indoors or outdoors, making it the perfect exercise for when you don’t have the time, energy, or outdoor access to tire your dog out in other ways. As a bonus... this item is lightweight, easy to store, and dogs go gaga for its squeaky, fluffy critters 🐿️
