🐾Stress Signals: Is Your Dog Saying ‘I’m Overwhelmed’?

Dogs talk to us all the time… just not with words. 🐾 Many owners miss the subtle stress signals their dogs give before a meltdown.

⚠️ Common signs:
• Lip licking (when there’s no food around)
• Yawning outside of tiredness
• Turning their head away
• Shaking off like they’re wet

Catching these early can help you avoid a full-blown reactive episode.

👉 What’s your dog’s tell-tale sign that they’ve had enough?

🦮Leash Pulling? Here’s a Fix That Actually Works!”

Does your dog drag you down the street instead of walking with you? 🚶‍♀️🐕 You’re not alone—loose leash walking is one of the trickiest skills for dogs (and their humans).

Here’s a simple tip: Every time your dog pulls, stop walking. When the leash loosens, reward and move forward.

Consistency is key—your dog will learn pulling = no progress, while a loose leash = fun walk time.

💬 What’s YOUR biggest struggle on walks—pulling, sniffing too much, or distractions?

🐾Does Your Dog Eat Too Fast? Try This Game-Changer!

Does your pup inhale their dinner like it’s a race? 🐶💨 Eating too quickly can lead to tummy troubles, gas, and even dangerous bloat. One of my favorite fixes? A slow feeder or puzzle bowl! 🧩

Not only do they slow down mealtime, but they also provide a mental workout that leaves your dog more relaxed afterward.

👉 Have you tried one yet? Did your dog figure it out right away or give you the ‘what is this nonsense’ look? 😂

🧩 Friday Puzzle – Guess That Breed!🐾

Let’s play! Can you figure out which breed we’re describing? 👇
I’m sleek, graceful, and incredibly fast. Originally bred to chase game across open land, I’m a bit of a couch potato at home. My long legs, narrow frame, and aerodynamic head give me away.

🐶 What breed am I?

🌿 Wellness Wednesday – “The Importance of Omega-3s for Dogs” 🐾

Did you know Omega-3 fatty acids are just as essential for dogs as they are for us?

These powerful nutrients help support:
✔️ Skin and coat health (goodbye, itchiness!)
✔️ Joint mobility
✔️ Heart health
✔️ Brain development (especially in puppies and seniors)
🐟 Natural sources include fish oil, green-lipped mussel, and chia seeds.

We carry several safe, high-quality Omega-3 options in-store—just ask us which one fits your dog’s needs!

✨ A shiny coat and happy joints start from within.

🐾 Training Tip Tuesday – “Mark the Good Stuff!”

Ever heard the phrase “what gets rewarded, gets repeated”? The key to fast, effective training is timing your marker (like “yes!” or a click) the moment your dog does the right thing.

✅ Marking tells your dog exactly what earned the reward.
Whether it’s sitting, making eye contact, or choosing not to jump—your marker is your bridge to clearer communication.

💡 Try this: Practice a simple “sit” and say “YES!” the second their bum hits the floor. Then treat. It’s a game changer for focus and learning speed!
