I want to know… Why do you think/say your dog is “spoiled”.

Is it because:
🐾 The food you feed
🐾 They get to lay around the house
🐾 The toys you buy
🐾 The places you take them
🐾 The sports you participate in

I’ve heard some interesting answers to this and I’m curious what you guys have to say about it.

Answer in the comments below. There is no wrong answer!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

10/31/2026

🎃 Halloween plans? Make a plan for your dog, too!

🚪 If your door will be opening and closing all night, secure your dog BEFORE the trick-or-treaters arrive. A familiar crate or a comfortable room behind a closed door can keep them from slipping outside and give them a break from the excitement.

🐕 Halloween can be a training opportunity—IF your attention is entirely on your dog. Practicing calm observation, engagement, or settling can be useful when your dog is comfortable and you can watch them closely, reward them, and adjust the situation as needed.

If you’re juggling kids, answering the door, or handing out candy, your attention is divided. That is the time to put your dog safely away. Being overwhelmed by costumes, doorbells, and strangers won’t automatically teach them to handle those things better.

🍬 Keep ALL candy up and securely away. Chocolate can be toxic, sugar-free candy and gum may contain dangerous xylitol, and raisins are toxic to dogs. Swallowed wrappers can also cause intestinal blockages. Check children’s candy bags, bedroom stashes, and any wrappers left within reach! If your dog gets into candy, contact your veterinarian or animal poison control promptly.

👻 Never worn a costume? Today isn’t the day to expect your dog to wear one for hours. Getting comfortable with clothing takes gradual introductions, short positive sessions, and time. Desensitization should happen before the holiday. If your dog freezes, tries to escape, or shows discomfort, take the costume off.

Your dog doesn’t need to participate in every part of Halloween. A comfortable, quiet evening is a perfectly good plan. 🐾

Happy Halloween from Daley Obedience!

Meet Maggie! 🐾

Maggie is our newest day train student. She’s a seven-year-old terrier mix originally from St. Thomas, and she’s here to work on some skills that will make everyday life a little easier for her and her family.

During her day train program, we’ll be focusing on:

🐾 Building her confidence
🐾 Keeping all four paws on the floor when greeting people
🐾 Improving her leash manners

Maggie’s family plans to welcome a baby at some point, so we’re also working on calm behaviors and routines to help set Maggie and her family up for success when that time comes. 💕

We’re excited to get to know Maggie and share her progress with you! 🐶

Being comfortable boarding is a skill—and it’s worth helping your dog build before you need it. 🐾

Spending time away from home means adjusting to different people, unfamiliar sounds, a new routine, and being apart from their family. That can be a lot for a dog who has never practiced it.

Skills like settling in their own space, resting between activities, and accepting care from someone other than you can all help prepare them for a boarding stay.

At Daley Obedience, we can start with planned daycare visits so your dog can get to know us, become familiar with our routine, and practice spending time away from home. As they become more comfortable, we can work toward an overnight stay and gradually build up to longer boarding visits, based on your dog’s needs.

You don’t have to wait until a weeklong vacation to introduce your dog to the people and place caring for them. The goal is to help them feel safe enough to eat, rest, and settle in while you’re away.

Have a trip coming up? Reach out now, and let’s give your dog time to practice before you pack your bags! ❤️

Sometimes progress is the moment you almost miss. 🐾

Your dog sees a distraction and checks in with you.
The leash stays loose a little longer.
They settle while you finish your coffee.
You only have to ask once.

It’s easy to focus on everything you’re still working on, but don’t forget to notice what’s getting better. Reward those little moments—they’re the habits you want your dog to keep!

What’s one small win you’ve had with your dog this week? 👇

A leash isn’t just for walks! 🐾

One of my favorite tools for puppies—and dogs still learning the rules of the house—is a leash indoors. Here’s why:

• Easy redirection. A leash gives you a way to calmly guide your dog away from the shoes, off the couch, or toward an appropriate activity without turning it into a game of chase.

• Keeping them close. Tethering your dog to you can help prevent wandering off and getting into trouble while you’re occupied. You still need to supervise—if you can’t, use a crate or puppy-safe pen.

• Making the leash less exciting. When the leash only comes out before a walk, grabbing it can become a cue to get worked up! Wearing it during calm, everyday activities can help make it more ordinary and reduce that anticipation.

• Supporting potty training. Keeping your puppy nearby makes it easier to notice sniffing, circling, and other signs that they need to go out.

• Practicing good choices. It’s easier to reward settling beside you, staying out of the kitchen, or leaving something alone when your dog is close enough for you to notice.

The leash helps you guide your dog while you teach and reward the behaviors you want. It’s a management tool, not a substitute for training!

⚠️ Indoor leashes are for supervised use. Watch for snagging or chewing, never leave a dog tethered unattended, and remove the leash before crating or leaving them alone.
