🚨Please share!🚨 throwback #clienttipstuesdays Happy Halloween insta ghouls! 👻Keep them pups safe👻🎃Kids in costume with the front door opening over and over, makes it very tempting for pups to run out and say hi (or bye) so please have id tags on them. Its also a good reminder to consider micro chipping them if they aren’t already! Not everyone thinks a loose pup is as cute as we do. ESPECIALLY the big heads.👻This day only happens once a year so being cool with everyone and everything is a lot to ask of them! Sooo many bites and dog fights happen on Halloween and nope it didn’t “come out of nowhere.”🎃Make sure THEY like their costume and are not merely tolerating it. If your pup is uncomfy it’s only a matter of time before he lets you or someone else know!👻If Fido is hanging back while you go trick or treating please consider disconnecting your doorbell, put the tv on and leave them with plenty of safe toys to keep them occupied. A stuffed KOnG is our personal favorite!🎃Keep them happy, keep them safe, keep them out of your candy stash!🚨PRETTY PLEASE RESPECT THEIR LIMITS 🚨 #muhmelia Grateful💚
🚨PLEASE SHARE!🚨Primo is READY to find his forever home! He’s been in the Ring and Run house for 11 days and is THRIVING on the steady routine. SO he’d do best in a home that understands theres a process to be trusted and would be patient while working with him. He’s available through Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue🐶He’s SUPER friendly and displays puppy like behavior INCLUDING mouthing and nipping when he’s overtired or overstimulated. At the moment it’s truly his biggest issue. We’ve had him a week and through a good routine and some healthy boundaries we’ve cut down on the biting GREATLY. 🐶He LOVES walks and thoroughly enjoys training but has a manageable level of energy. He came here pretty anxious and not thrilled with the crate but now spends a few hours on and off in there during the day completely quiet. 8hrs overnight as well. He’s impatient and does have some separation anxiety when he isn’t crated but we think having a steady home will reduce that drastically. It’s reduced TREMENDOUSLY in 11 days here. We know keeping him long-term is just cutting into valuable time spent bonding with his forever family however we are having FUN with him.🐶He truly needs a people that are willing to give him what he needs before they take what they want. He’d do best in a home with no kids or older kids just because of his exuberance. He’d do best as the only dog BUT he may love a couple buddies to play with occasionally!🐶He’s gorgeous and sweet but we’re being painfully honest in an attempt to weed out the people that either do not enjoy working with dogs or aren’t willing to learn. He’s a GREAT dog but needs help to become awesome! This means walks before cuddles. Play before pets. Consistency before couch. Do YOU have the discipline to go slow with him? If so, he’s the guy🥰 #primofosterboy #pitbulls #dogtraining #dogtrainer #dogsofnyc #happydog Grateful 💚
The presidential debate was an hour and a half of petty jabs and bending of truths from both sides and THIS was the main takeaway. We are very lost and I am here for it! If you eat the TV everyday, you’ll be so full of what they feed you, you won’t look elsewhere. Be curious! Still a lot of good around so take a break.🇺🇸Here’s the truth. No one is coming to save you. We can definitely stack the odds in our favor but no one is going to save us. Resilience will save you. Build up your army/network of family, friends and neighbors and if any of them are truly good, hold onto them like your life depends on it because it does.🇺🇸Gone are the days of agreeing to disagree. Gone are the days of losing gracefully. There can only be one winner. You can’t take your ball and go home! This is going to get interesting😂 #hoggfacekillah #dogsofnyc #frenchies #frenchbull #frenchies #politics #vote Grateful 💚
Every town deserves a hero, and Goose is our hometown hero of sorts! A truly craptacular performance! #Titoandgoose #olympics #olympics2024 #olympicgames Grateful 💚
PLEASE SHARE! 🚀 Very rarely are we serious, but this is a VERY sore subject for my buddies and I who consistently pick up dogs with no ID. Often taking hours sometimes days out of our lives to reunite the dog with an owner when it could’ve took a 30 second phone call. 🚀 YOU ARE NOT THE EXCEPTION! YOUR DOG IS NOT THE EXCEPTION. Accidents happen. No ones dog ever runs away till it does. Barbecues. Company opening and closing the door. A dog that’s normally fine in their yard scaling a 6ft fence because you’re idiot neighbor blows off of mortar. 🚀 Leave. ID. On. Your. Dogs. For the full day if it’s safe to. It’s one day a year. It’s quite literally the difference between a potential drop off at the shelter or reuniting with you in minutes if they are lucky enough to stay out of traffic. 🚀 Don’t be that “my dog is chipped” dumb dumb either. No one needs to take time out of their holiday to find a vet that’s open, put your dog in the car if they are brave enough and go scan for a chip. Just put ID on them for one day pretty, pretty, pretty please. 🚀 Crates, KONGS, cbd, exercise, drugs, training. Everyone wants the secret sauce, but here is the easiest one in case of an accident use ID on your dog. Thank you in advance. Yes this sounded harsh but we’re saying it because we love you and your dogs! #mistamatza #boxerdog #dogtrainer #dogtraining #dogsofnyc Grateful 💚
LOWER THE VOLUME throwback #clienttipstuesdays We made you a practice soundtrack👍🏻Ready or not here it comes! There’s time to train your dog for the 4th so let’s get to preppin!🚀First you hear the whistle. Your dog hears it as well. Then BOOM and it’s all over. Now there’s a shaking puddle of a dog or a maniac trying to go through the front door towards the source of the sound!🚀Truth be told you probably tense up, then the frustration or sympathy starts climbing. That’s a TON of feelings/emotions attached to the sound of fireworks for all involved. The last thing they need is more nervous energy so this is practice for you as well!🚀Play firework sounds at LOW volume and when your pup just barely acknowledges the noise “mark” with a “yes” and feed. THEN continue feeding them and having fun if possible. Make it possible! If you aren’t familiar with marker training it’s ok. Just feed or play with them!🚀We put a blue tooth speaker by the front door so the sound wasn’t coming “from us.” The idea is for your pup to hear these noises while good things are happening! Be happy! Have a party! Play fetch or tug with these noises in the background till it means nothing. THEN you raise the volume.🚀Our recipe for the 4th is to drain the pups so their energy level is in our favor by the time time the action starts. Long walk if the weather allows, few short training sessions, enrichment/food toys (they won’t eat either meal out of a bowl that day) then maybe some cbd treats before it’s time to relax for the night.🚀You have a few months of several SHORT sessions a day to try to get them comfy with these sounds. The least we can do is try🙏🏻 Side note @beezybeezhoney and @boneappetitbarkeryny are both local biz’s that can help you with cbd treats and oils.#neverboredwithbella #hoggfacekillah Grateful 💚
#clienttipstuesdays TICK CHECKS! Share your routine below! With summer coming we wanted to send yet another message out saying PLEASE TRIPLE check yourselves, your humans and your pets! We also wanted to speak on the tool we used in THIS SCENARIO and why.🐶THANK YOU to our friend Joey for developing an amazing product! The @brazilianmat AND Mitt were designed to help remove pet hair which it does a fantastic job of but I’m sure he didn’t have this in mind during development. It has TRULY saved us over and over again!🐶This VERY sticky sheet is more effective and can be folded up/easily carried. It covers a larger surface area than a lint roller and WAY stickier. We keep them under our floor mats in the car. Pull a piece from the pad, peel the paper off the back, stick to the hitchhikers! Done!🐶Nothing is fool proof. Not shots. Not spray. Not the dogs diet. Not monthly preventions HOWEVER they're all a great first line of defense.🐶We use wondercide prior to walks and while it may help a little, we have yet to find anything natural that truly repels them.🐶Check your kids after playing in grassy areas and weeds even if it's only for a second! We are open to suggestions. PLEASE only battle tested options not Google read. Do some homework and see what's right for you. Stay safe! #ticks #Grateful 💚
Rise and grind insta fam!“One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.”— John F. Kennedy 🐶 Here we go. There are people that talk a good game and people that actually participate. There are people that start stuff and people that get stuff done. 🐶 It’s VERY simple. Help or get out of the way. Read that again. HELP OR GET OUT OF THE WAY. People who often do nothing are quick to point out how little others are doing. The “you should” and “you gotta” camp isn’t always getting things done. Help or get out of the way. 🐶 Grand intentions often present well but by all means don’t yuck the yum of the little guy getting it DONE even on a small scale! Do what you can, when you can, with what you have. It means more than you know! 🐶 Now get up and get them dogs out and remember, Ring and Run loves you! #haloboi #dogs #mutts Grateful 💚
#clienttipstuesdays Be prepared and stay safe. “By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.”Benjamin Franklin🙌🏻This is not a how to. There are way too many scenarios. Your dog. Oncoming dog. Owner. Environment. Your ability to quickly read body language. Maybe we will give some options on another post, but this one is about what we think everyone should be carrying. Please share this with any pet owner you think needs it.🙌🏻-Carabiner-Black diamond non locking spring gate. Sooo handy. Literally frees up your hands! 🙌🏻-Pet corrector-Compressed air has stopped more dogs than citronella and pisses the owners off WAY less. Yeah yeah who cares what they think but it’s never fun to worry about our dogs with a human acting threatening. Mace is a hard no for us. Even if you spray the dog and then have to secure it you now have it on your hands or it can blow back on you. Totally not worth it to us.🙌🏻-Slips leashes- We LOVE @cheri_wulff_lucas and @slipleashes We still use Mendota’s occasionally, but after holding onto these bad boys those feel like boat rope. We have lassoed loose and lost pups. We’ve also used them to cut off the air supply in aggressive dogs.🙌🏻These things are not going to stop a truly aggressive dog, but at least you will have a plan in place to feel more comfortable. Most of the things you are worried about will never happen. Ever. Practice makes permanent. Ring and Run loves you. #dogs #dogtraining #dogsofnyc #neverboredwithbella Grateful 💚
#clienttipstuesdays 💃🏼👏🏼🕺🏼A willing participant. Attention, engagement, foundations? All buzzwords when training your pups BUT for good reason!🐶If you’re wrestling for your pups attention where it’s easy, we have no right to move where things are harder. Slow down, back up and start over.🐶Sometimes training is hard BUT we need to find ways to make our pups WANT TO engage with us. This might be different for every dog. Find out what makes your house hostage happy and do more of that. Hopefully they enjoy training/being with you. If not, slow down, back up and start over.🐶Foundations are important! We see it all the time people pushing through fancy training, learning new things, the pup sort of gets it right because they’re trying hard but the foundation is weak! Communication is off. Slow down, back up, start over.🐶Puppy training “sessions” are short and sweet. It’s imperative to enjoy the process! Good or bad there’s value. Theo is enjoying the learning game. How do I make food happen? He’s problem solving. They play. He gets cuddles. He has a good life. They are giving him what he needs before they take what they want and it shows.🐶Make the learning game fun and they will always want to play! So proud of these dudes!!#encourageeducateempower Grateful 💚
Instagram is where it’s at! Come play and have a laugh with us!!
Throwback to the boys and dogs! Something my older nephew said in the video is what commonly happens with people letting their dogs play together. Grown-ups think this way as well. Give it a listen!🐶I asked when they think I should stop the playing and he says “when HogG looks like he’s dead.”😂 THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS! With training. With playing. With anything! And the session how you would like the next one to begin. No more, one more!🐶Instead of waiting for things to fall apart before you stop, just end on a good note. Get the good reps in and call it a day! Simple but not easy!🐶Could we have let it go on longer for everyone’s entertainment? Sure! But over a minute of playing without interruption is good enough!! END IT. As long as your voice still works, your pups are still on planet earth🙏 #hoggfacekillah #neverboredwithbella Grateful 💚
