Looks like Tessa made a few new friends! 🐾🧡

Therapy Dog Tessa and her handler Kate Von Alt, were out spreading smiles during their corporate visit. Judging by all the happy faces, we'd say Tessa was pretty popular!

It's moments like these that remind us how much joy a therapy dog can bring, one visit and one wagging tail at a time. ❤️

A little fresh air, some familiar faces, and plenty of wagging tails! 🐾🧡

There's something special about seeing our veterans, trainers, and service dogs spending time together. These outings are a chance to connect, enjoy each other's company, and continue building the bonds that make these partnerships so meaningful.

And of course, we couldn't resist giving each of our four-legged friends a little camera time! 🐶

The best part of having guests visit the Cedar Park campus is watching everyone immediately melt the second the puppies come out.

Loved having the Austin Scaffold Company crew on the turf with us! We are so incredibly grateful for your support, including their generous donation to our mission. It takes a massive village to raise these future working dogs, and without community partners like you in our corner, our mission just wouldn’t be possible. Thanks for coming out and sharing the puppy love with us today guys 💛

Has your living room ever looked like it snowed pillow stuffing, or is that just a rite of passage for dog parents? ❄️🐶

As much as it feels like a personal attack when your pup targets your favorite pair of shoes, we promise your furry menace isn’t plotting against you! Whether they’re in their full "land shark" puppy era or just have a serious case of the 7 PM zoomies, chewing is simply how dogs relieve stress, soothe itchy gums, and entertain an unemployed brain.

Instead of scolding (which just confuses them!), the secret is trading a "No" for a legal "Yes." Give that snoot and those teefs a real job to do—like demolishing a frozen Kong or hunting for kibble inside a cardboard box—so your couch cushions can finally live in peace.

📌 Save this post for the next time your pup starts looking for trouble!

Being a service dog means learning to be comfortable just about anywhere. Even in church!

While there may not be much happening from a dog's perspective, moments like these are actually a big part of their training. Learning to settle, stay focused, and remain calm in different environments helps prepare them for life alongside the person who will one day depend on them.

And sometimes, being a great service dog simply means knowing when to lie down and relax.

Three siblings. One cozy bed. ❤️🐾

They've been together since day one, and apparently, having their own personal space still isn't a priority. 😂

Between all the playing, exploring, and learning, sometimes the best part of the day is just curling up next to your siblings.

Some things never change, no matter how big they get.

Anyone else have dogs who insist on sleeping right on top of each other?

If walks with your dog feel like a tug of war, you’re not alone. 🐾

Pulling isn’t your dog being bad. They just haven’t learned yet that a loose leash is what gets them where they want to go.

Here’s the simple version:

Stop walking when the leash gets tight.
Wait for it to loosen.
Reward them and keep going.

It takes patience, but it works.

If you’d like some help, we’d love to teach you! Our Leash Manners Class is a great place to start. Tap the link in our bio or visit thedogalliance.org to learn more.

Cleo made a very important stop today! 🐾🇺🇸

She tagged along for early voting and has already made her position on the important issues very clear: YES to more treats, YES to extra playtime, and a very enthusiastic YES to belly rubs! 🐶❤️

While Cleo's votes might not officially count, she's happy to remind her fellow Texans to get out there and make their voices heard!

Happy early voting, Texas! 🇺🇸

A little puppy update to brighten your day! 🐾🧡

These little ones are growing fast, getting more curious by the day, and keeping everyone on their toes! Between all the running, playing, and exploring, it's been so much fun watching their personalities come to life.

We might be a little biased, but we think they're pretty adorable. 🥰

A big thank you to the wonderful team from NVIDIA for spending the day volunteering with us! 🧡🐾

From preparing meals for our dogs and helping with yard work to spending some quality time with our future service dogs, they jumped right in wherever help was needed.

There's a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes to raise and train service dogs, and having volunteers who are willing to lend a hand makes such a difference.

We're so grateful to the NVIDIA team for sharing their time, energy, and kindness with us. And judging by all the puppy playtime, we think our four-legged friends appreciated it just as much! 🐶❤️
