Do you need to find something to keep your dog busy and having difficulty finding projects?

Here is one of the ways that I give my dog species-typical activities - frozen licking projects!

Gather all the types of foods your dogs likes. My two like the same thing, thankfully:

- any canned or soft dog food
- pumpkin purée (I like to make mine to save money - see below for how I make it)
- Greek yogurt - no sugar and plain
- dog safe bone broth
- peanut butter (of course)
- favourite treats
- dehydrated duck wings/feet or chicken feet or cod skin - basically anything crunchy to stick in the middle

I mainly get all my stuff (except the pumpkin) at

How to:
- get your licky products. I use a West Paw's topple, lick mats, lick bowls, textured lick mats
- then prepare them - easy peasy my friends

How to make pumpkin purée:
- buy a pumpkin or two. Where I live a medium pumpkin costs $5.00
- wash the outside and cut in half
- scoop out the stuff (roast the seeds if you wish - I don't)
- place face down on a baking sheet
- bake at 400 for about an hour or so until the flesh is brownish and soft
- peel the flesh and this part is messy - oh well
- put into a blender
- pop the purée into moulds, I use the ones sold to freeze soups. Once they are frozen, I will freeze each 1 cup cube in a food saver bag

Fact: one medium size pumpkin at $5.00 yielded almost 16 cups compared to buying a can at $6.49 and you get a little over a cup. I think the 90 minutes to purée it is worth it.

I am looking for more tips for my dogs and I'd love the idea to be cheap! LOL

💔 I’m reposting this reminder—train with love, not fear—because I continue to see heartbreaking things done to dogs in the name of “training.”

Just yesterday, I watched a so-called trainer hold the scruff a dog’s neck and pin them down to “teach” the dog not to guard items. The only lesson that dog learned? Humans take things away, and they can’t be trusted.

Resource guarding is about fear of loss. The way forward is building safety, trust, and confidence, not intimidation.

Creating peace at both ends of the leash starts here: with love, not fear. If you’re struggling with resource guarding or reactivity, I’d love to show you a kinder, safer way. Click the link in bio or DM me to chat.

🚨 Do NOT adopt this dog… unless you’re ready for a total rock star!!!!!

🐾 Meet Walle — he’s been at the Oromocto SPCA for a few months now, and honestly, we can’t believe he’s still here.

Swipe 👉 to see why he might just be your soul dog.

💛 Why Walle is amazing:

• Super fun + full of energy
• Cuddly + affectionate
• GREAT with handling
• Looks at you with all the love in his eyes
• Lights up when he sees his people - jumps up off the ground (like a cat!)
• Dog-friendly after intros
• Loves stuffies (like, LOVES them)
• Total explorer: sniffs, climbs, plays
• People-focused + loving
• Has loads of skills

🎓 His skills:

• Heels on leash
• “Let’s go” to keep moving
• Knows the cue 'this way' = how to turn with you
• Knows the cue 'come here'
• Sits automatically when you stop
• Offers polite default sits
• Learning recall
• Knows hand targeting - great for redirection and recall
• Enjoys food games + pattern play

He might bark at first — he’s part shepherd! But once you’re in, you’re in for life. 🐕💖
