Who doesn’t like to enjoy a good treat?

Just like us, our dog’s don’t always enjoy sharing their tasty treats! 🦴

When our dog’s are enjoying their bones or other high value items like lick mats or kongs, it is important to set everyone up for success… But what does that look like? 🧐

1️⃣ Give the dog some space… Stay out of their face!

2️⃣ Set up a success station where your dog has the ability to have the space they need to safely enjoy their treats without having babies, toddlers or even people approaching them

3️⃣ Actively teach your children that if your dog has a bone (or food or other high value item like a toy) they need to be left alone. By saying these words out loud and modeling the behavior we want for our children, we are able to help set everyone up for success!

Remember! If you need to remove an item from your dog be proactive not reactive! Teach your dog to “trade” or “leave it” before you need it!

Zeb -- Available!
Intake date 12 August 2025 . Black and white rough coated neutered male border collie (ID on appearance and behavior, not DNA), appx 3 years old, appx 40 lbs . Zeb was picked up stray by a shelter and sent to us for breed placement. Zeb is a handsome old style border collie who is super soft and sensitive, and needs a home with equal sensitivity. Zeb does well with other dogs, though is easily put off by dogs who are pushy or over the top. He is crate trained, rides well while crated in a vehicle, walks nicely on leash, and is fairly easy to manage because of his sensitivity. . Zeb will thrive in a quiet home where dogs are a real part of the family. He may do well as an only dog in a home where he would included as a constant companion. Zeb can definitely use some confidence building, but he wants to please and is a quick study. . This dog is located in Maryland - we do not ship or transport dogs.
