The Dog Stop

The Dog Stop The Dog Stop Carnegie, a 12,000 sq. We were bred from the beginning to be America's best all-inclusive indoor/outdoor dog care facility.

ft+ dog care facility, features luxury dog boarding accommodations, an indoor/outdoor interactive & social daycare experience, a spa-like dog grooming retreat, holistic retail store, & much more. The owners of The Dog Stop® spent several years researching the pet care industry, surveying the needs of local pet owners, and planning an all-inclusive facility after they saw a lack of transparency in

the industry. Their goal was to create a fun and safe environment where dogs would love to come and play, and pet owners would feel 100% confident in the superior care that their dogs were receiving. In 2009, the first The Dog Stop® doors opened in Pittsburgh, PA. Since that day, The Dog Stop’s mission has been to deliver a superior experience for the dogs and their whole families by providing a safe environment, offering educational opportunities, anticipating and exceeding the needs of clients and their pet companions, instilling complete peace of mind for those we serve – and to earn their trust every day! Today, there are over 20 Stops throughout the United States! Each Stop is locally owned and operated, but was bred and trained on the original The Dog Stop morals and mission. The Dog Stop® is here to offer an honest and reliable pet care solution so that you can be the awesome pet parent you need to be! Come by today to tour the facility and get your dog signed up to join the best dog experience in Pittsburgh!

🐾 Training Tip Tuesday: Outdoor Adventure Safety - Mastering Recall! 🐾
With the weather warming up, outdoor fun with your pup is just what you both need. But it's important to keep them safe too. A reliable, simple "come" is one of the most important skills you can teach your dog—keeping them safe and giving you peace of mind!
Here are five tips to help your pup come when called:
🐶 Use High-Value Rewards – Treats, toys, or praise make coming to you the best choice!
🏃‍♂️ Make It Fun – Use an excited voice and playful body language to encourage a fast response.
🌿 Start in a Low-Distraction Area – Build confidence at home before trying in busy spaces.
🔗 Use a Long Leash – Give them freedom while maintaining control during training.
❤️ Never Punish Them for Coming Late – Always make coming to you a positive experience!
With consistency and patience, your pup will be coming back to you in no time! 🐕✨

🚪🐶 Does your pup struggle with separation anxiety? Here are 5 ways to help them feel more comfortable when you're away!

1️⃣ Gradually increase alone time – Start with short absences and slowly extend them to help your pup adjust.
2️⃣ Stick to a predictable routine – Consistent schedules for meals, walks, and quiet time create a sense of security.
3️⃣ Keep them active & engaged – Daily exercise and mental stimulation (like puzzle toys) help burn off nervous energy.
4️⃣ Stay calm during arrivals & departures – Avoid big goodbyes and hellos to prevent reinforcing anxious behavior.
5️⃣ Use comforting aids – Soothing music, pheromone diffusers, or a shirt with your scent can provide extra reassurance.

A little preparation goes a long way in keeping your pup stress-free! 💙

Meet Halo, a spirited and lovable pup at Humane Animal Rescue of Pittsburgh who’s ready to find her perfect home! 😇 This young lady may be full-grown, but she’s still all puppy at heart—overflowing with enthusiasm, playfulness, and affection! ♥️

Halo thrives with other dogs, so HARP recommends she go to a home with a canine companion. If you have a pup at home, bring them along for a meet-and-greet to see if they’re a perfect match! 🐾

She’s a fetch fanatic and easy to entertain in a yard or even indoors. ⚾ Since she’s still learning the ropes, her ideal family will have some training experience to help guide her energy in the right direction. With patience, confidence building, and plenty of playtime, Halo will be an amazing lifelong companion! 🐶

🐶✨ Training Tip Tuesday! ✨🐶
Understanding canine body language is essential for effective communication with your dog 🐶. Here are five simple tips:
1️⃣ Tail Position Matters – A wagging tail doesn’t always mean happiness! A high, stiff wag can indicate alertness or arousal, while a low, slow wag might show uncertainty or deference 🐕.
2️⃣ Ears Tell a Story – Forward ears suggest curiosity or excitement 😃, but pinned-back ears can signal fear, anxiety, or deference 😬.
3️⃣ Relaxed vs. Stiff Body – A loose, wiggly body generally means a happy, relaxed pup, while a stiff, tense posture may signal stress, aggression, or discomfort 🤗➡️😟.
4️⃣ Yawning and Lip Licking – These are common calming signals dogs use when they’re anxious or trying to diffuse tension 😴👅.
5️⃣ Eye Contact and Whale Eye – Direct eye contact can be tricky in dog language, and “whale eye” (when the whites of their eyes are visible) often signals fear or discomfort 😳.

Meet Rocky Sylvester, a certified good boy on the hunt for his forever best friend! ♥️ This handsome pup is calm, well-mannered, and knows basic commands like sit and down—plus, he absolutely loves his daily walks! 🐾

While Rocky hasn’t lived with other pets before, our friends at HARP would be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet to see if he’s a good match for your pup. He’s friendly and sweet but prefers to keep his paws to himself. If you’re looking for a loyal, well-behaved companion, Rocky Sylvester might just be the one! 🐶

🐶✨ Training Tip Tuesday! ✨🐶
Consistency is crucial in dog training for several reasons:
1️⃣ Clear Communication – Dogs are all ears 🐶 and thrive on repetition! Keep commands consistent, and watch them nail it every time ✅.
2️⃣ Faster Learning – Consistent rules and rewards turn training into a quick, fun game 🎉—your pup will be a superstar in no time! ✨
3️⃣ Reduces Anxiety – A steady routine means a calm, confident, and happy fur-friend 🐾❤️.
4️⃣ Prevents Bad Habits – Mixed signals can lead to mischief 😜. Consistency keeps those pesky habits at bay 🚫.
5️⃣ Strengthens Bond – A structured routine builds trust, making every training session a paw-some bonding adventure 🤝🐕‍🦺.
