  Keep them busy and out of trouble! 
 
Does your dog have more energy than you do?  Are you tired of being his only appropriate form of entertainment?  Need to get some work done but afraid to take your eyes off that 4 footed bundle of energy?   Did you spend big bucks on the latest keep your dog busy toy just to watch it collect dust?  Don't despair!

Join Boredom Busters to discuss creative ways to keep your dog busy.  During this 75 minutes session we will:
  • review and play with creative dog toys allowing you and your dog to 'try it before you buy it'. 
  • discuss and practice non-toy ways to keep your dog busy. 
  • provide a toy exchange opportunity.   Maybe you can exchange that toy your dog has deemed boring for one he finds interesting?  (this is a strict exchange of toys between participants.  No toy selling allowed!)
  • Discuss different topics and review different toys every quarter!
  • Train as we go.  This will be a great opportunity to practice leash walking, greeting strangers, wait, stay, etc.
 
The next session is Thursday, August 5th.  Visit our website for the list of toys we will be reviewing and to register online. 
 
Hope to see you there

Dog 101 Tip

Two kids, a dog and a backyard.
 
Can't we all just get along?
 
Backyard playtime is a common problem for families with pets. The kids want to run and play but the dog wants to join the fun. And, since dog play is so different than human play, this often means the dog is jumping and mouthing the kids and possibly creating a dangerous situation.
 
 It is possible for your dog and kids to share a backyard.  They just both need to learn how to interact with each other.

Foster Dog Brittney

 

Adoptable Me! 

Brittney is our latest foster dog.  I have decided to blog about our daily activities.  The goal is to detail how I acclimate a new dog into the household and how I start preparing her for her new home. Hopefully this information will be useful the next time you introduce a new dog into the household.

 She is available for adoption through Mastiff Hope.  Click here for more info.
