We are patient, caring with them, and make sure they get the daily exercise they need to continue to live their best lives.

We had a nice long holiday weekend!
4th of July can be very traumatic and difficult experience for some dogs. (and for some Veterans too)
This year everyone who was staying with us did pretty well. Still, We turned the AC and the fans on, close the curtains, had crates ready for safe space, exercised long hours and played a lot in the yard during the day.
I am grateful that all the pups were calm and content.
You feel helpless when you witness their anxiety, and fear.
If your dog is afraid of fireworks and has sound sensitivity that you start helping them!

If two dogs are wrestling and it seems too rough to you, with all that growling and snarling, body-slamming, and biting of each other’s necks, should you intervene?
What is normal dog play, you ask? It’s a critical time for social development when they learn bite inhibition, good dog manners & how to play nicely.
🐾The play bow – front end down, back end in the air. Sometimes the dog trying to initiate play will slap his front legs down on the ground repeatedly.
🐾A big, silly open-mouthed grin.
🐾Exaggerated, bouncy movement. The dogs are acting silly.
🐾Loud, continuous growling and snarling; again, exaggerated. Play-fighting may sound scarier than serious fighting.
🐾they willingly make themselves vulnerable when they fall down, exposing their bellies to be caught
🐾It’s like they can’t stop playing! They will probably take turns tackling each other for most play-fighting behaviors.
Playing with other pups is a small part of socialization, there are other things that are important when socializing a pup. If you have more questions about socializing your new puppy? Send me a DM. I’d love to help.

Last week, the US OPEN PGA tournament was in The Country Club, Brookline, MA!
Apparently, it is a big deal!😳🙄
%90 of Argos Pet Care clients live less than a mile away from this venue.
Streets were blocked, parking bans were everywhere, and traffic was insane!!!!!
We knew it was going to be a hectic week!
But we were prepared!
Emails sent.
We got a “pass” and switched it between us.
We figured out the routes and created zones to make traveling between houses less challenging.
We canceled a few walks.
Our clients were kind, flexible, and understanding as usual!
As a team, we kept our stress low by communicating regularly and sharing some insights throughout the day.
At the end of the day, We didn’t leave any dogs behind!
Or had a nervous breakdown :)
It has been a long week for us at Argos Pet Care! But we did it!
I am so proud of everyone on our team!
I am so grateful to work with people who are kind, intelligent, and have a great attitude, even in challenging times.
And the town of Brookline,
Please do not have another event like this next 20 years!

Hello Everyone! I am excited to announce that The Peoples' Wolf Podcast is going to launch this spring! We are less than one month away.
What is The Peoples' Wolf Podcast?
It is a unique podcast that comments on news stories that feature dogs. I have looked and have not found a podcast like it.
Your hosts are me and Katie ( one of my senior dog training students and a chemist). We are good friends and have great conversations even when we are not recorded. I hope that you will take the time to check out our show when it is launched, and I hope that you will check out the information about the show as it is released.
Thank you for your time!
The Peoples' Wolf is a skeptical SOB!

Big Bad Argos:)
We founded Argos Pet Care Specialists, Inc. in 2002. Since then, we’ve built our business by doing what we do best—taking care of pets. All our business comes to us through word-of-mouth: our happy clients are the best advertisement we can ask for.
We specialize in group walks and offer puppy walks that focus on development. In return, we ask for at least 3 walks a week. We believe that the best way for us to understand your dog’s needs is by building a strong relationship with her.
Our brother company Argos Dog Training, Inc. is offering Structured Day Care along with Obedience Training and puppy pre-school. You can find them online www.argosdogtraining.com
Our service area: Brookline/Chestnut Hill and parts of Jamaica Plain, Boston.
The goal of this page is to share some of our knowledge with our clients and other pet lovers. We will also share some pictures and stories of our pack’s daily adventures.
Finally, keep your eyes peeled for announcements: We are working on launching playgroups and hikes in 2019.
