July is already upon us and we are so excited to release our second e-newsletter!  We want to share our stories, tips and experience and to learn about yours. We also want to raise awareness of important animal issues, such as the obstacles encountered by Emily Guiza as she tried to rescue a pup named Baby Boy. (Read her Rescue Story below.)

In our business, we hear lots of pet stories! We hear tear-jerking rescue stories and gut-busting pet bloopers and mishaps, but we need your help. We understand you are busy, but if you have something you want to share, let us know. We'll put it into words and send it to you to approve before sharing it with our readers. You'll still get the credit, AND the free night of boarding!

Speaking of getting things FREE... By popular demand, we're extending our amazing BOGO offer for one more month. Don't miss out on your chance to get free boarding or training for your four-legged friend!

We hope you're having a wonderful summer, but don't forget , July is a month full of fireworks and extremely high temperatures. Dogs can be spooked by fireworks , so make sure your pet is safely indoors during celebrations. Also, because dogs are closer the ground and cannot sweat, they can easily suffer from heatstroke. Make sure that your pooch always has access to cooler temperatures and fresh water.

Enjoy your summer and we hope to see you and your pet soon!

Dogs jump-up for a variety of reasons. One reason is that your dog is attempting to greet you at your eye level. This is how they greet other dogs. Another reason is that many dogs have been unintentionally conditioned to jump-up since puppyhood. When the young pup licked and pawed, and jumped up to say hello, many people reinforced the puppy's behavior by patting him on the head or scratching him behind the ear, rather than bending down to puppy level and greeting him on the floor. This is great, until one day the dog jumps-up to say hello and, out of the blue, the owner punishes the dog. The difference? He grew!
