Dogs getting the zoomies has to be one of the funniest and most wholesome things to watch.

One second they're peacefully lying on the couch, and the next they're sprinting through the house like they've just been launched into another dimension.

Pure joy. Pure chaos. We wouldn't have it any other way.

Does your dog get the zoomies? Tell us their funniest zoomie story below! 🐕💨

Summer adventures are here, and many families love bringing their dogs along for the ride! Whether you’re headed to the park, the lake, or a weekend getaway, keeping your pup safe and comfortable during travel is important.

🐾 Car Safety First
The safest place for your dog to ride is in a secured crate in the backseat, anchored with a seatbelt. This helps prevent distractions while driving and protects your pup from injury in the event of sudden stops or accidents. It also keeps them safely away from airbags, which can be dangerous for pets. Riding in the back of a truck is never recommended.

If using a crate isn’t realistic for your trip, use a dog seatbelt or harness attachment to secure your puppy safely to the seat. Avoid letting your dog roam freely in the vehicle or ride in your lap while driving.

🐾 Heads Out the Window? Think Twice
While dogs may enjoy sticking their heads out the window, airborne debris can cause eye or facial injuries, and some dogs have even jumped from moving vehicles. Keep windows only partially open if your dog is unsecured.

🐾 Plan for Rest Stops
On longer drives, schedule breaks for water, potty time, and a short walk. Bring a portable water bowl and avoid sharing bowls with unfamiliar dogs to help prevent illness.

A simple travel clean-up kit can also be a lifesaver! Consider packing:
• Doggy bags
• Hand sanitizer
• Paper towels
• Disinfecting wipes
• Extra towels or blankets

🐾 Never Leave Your Dog in the Car
Even on a mild summer day, temperatures inside a vehicle can rise dangerously fast. In 80-degree weather, a car can exceed 100 degrees in less than 10 minutes — even with the windows cracked. Leaving a dog in a hot car can quickly become life-threatening.
Help spread awareness by reminding friends and family about the dangers of hot cars during the summer months.

Safe travels and happy adventures with your pup! 🐶☀️

Happy Training,
Amy & Team

While an attention walk with your dog looking responsibly up at you is a great ideal, it takes time and a lot of practice. Many of us get a new puppy and think we need to start walking around the block right away. This may sound crazy to you, but wait. Walks are NOT necessary at such a young age. Play is more useful for exercise until leash skills are acquired.

First, we need to teach our puppy what a leash is, let alone how to navigate with one on. We choose a square area, then start taking a few steps, getting our puppy to follow us and rewarding them for doing so. Walking backwards in the beginning can help your puppy stay focused on you. Stay in this area and refrain from choosing a sidewalk, pathway, or other clear path for your puppy. We want them to follow you, not the path.

The next step is to pick up the leash and start moving together. We proceed to work as a team, moving from point A to B with no care about where we end up. We only start destination walks (around the block, to the park, and back) when our puppy has the skills needed to be successful. This often works out well, though, because our puppy is not yet vaccinated - so we use that time to teach basic leash skills, then when they are fully immunized, we can start more formal leash training. Walk in circles and figure eights - changing directions often helps your puppy stay engaged and focused on you.

A leash, basic flat collar or harness, and yummy food rewards are all you need to get started. Begin in your home in a quiet room. Walk around furniture, in and out of every room, and up and down hallways. Next, take it outside on a patio or driveway - free from smelly grass, tempting bark, and blowing leaves if possible! You know what I’m talking about, don’t you? We teach our dogs to give in to the slightest amount of leash tension and review this concept often at the start of every leash training session. If your dog pulls, the brakes go on. Try to anticipate when your dog will pull the leash tight and change direction before it happens. That is where the circles and figure eights come in! I say, “Let’s go,” before changing directions to cue my dog to pay attention. Something is about to happen. Reward them as they then follow you the other way.

I know it seems like a while before you’ll be out and about, going on a walk together, but trust me on this one. Put in the time at the beginning by doing the small, simple things over and over again, teaching your puppy to follow you. This time pays off big time, and soon enough, you’ll have a dog who walks beautifully on leash.

Want more leash walking help? We have an Intro to Leash Walking and an Advanced Leash Walking class you can watch today!

Happy Training,
Amy & Team
