In search of effective, safe and engaging interactive dog toys for Junior. He gets bored easily and has endless energy - Annie needs a break! 😂 Have you tried any on this list? What else has worked for your pup?

It is not at all uncommon for our furry friends to get bored, especially if

Did you know that it’s virtually impossible to sound angry when saying the word “oops?” That’s why esteemed canine behaviorist Pat Miller recommends using it to help redirect unwanted doggie behavior!

So instead of getting mad and saying/shouting/screaming whatever word or obscenity that comes to mind when your precious pup starts chewing/eating/destroying something they shouldn’t (hey, we’re keeping things real here! 😂), try “oops” paired with an immediate redirect to something appropriate instead. And - if you find yourself in over your head with an especially challenging dog (like our Terrier mix Junior) - don’t hesitate to engage a reputable dog trainer or behaviorist experienced in positive training methods - they’re worth it!!

Feel free to share your positive training experiences in the comments - we love to hear success stories!

A tremendous honor for a woman whose work (and heart) has inspired much of what we do. Her research with cattle validated our dog ramp’s functionality, which she was kind enough to review and confirm. She deserves all of this, and more. Well done, Dr. Grandin, well done!

Congratulations, Dr. Grandin.

We know we've left you hanging since we canceled our Kickstarter campaign, but it's been for good reason. That's because today we received official word that our utility patent application for our ramp has been approved - without need for expensive Office Actions!! That's two patents issued in the last four months, after years of hard work and sacrifice! Special thanks to Esther Roberts Bell of Global IP, the best IP attorney - and friend - any inventor could ever ask for!

We also want to thank all the good folks who backed our campaign. While we canceled because we couldn't justify asking for patent application funding we no longer needed, rest assured our ramp project remains on track and you will be the first to know when it's ready to hit the market. You'll also still have the opportunity to get one at a special "backer" price.

So thanks again for all your support...and please stay tuned, we're sure there'll be much more good news to come.

The article detailing our recently-patented canine after-surgery garment is now available free - enjoy and share!!

Love for their pet prompted a Knoxville couple to develop a surgical-aftercare garmet that is more comfortable than the traditional but unwiedly Elizabethan dollar usually recommended for dogs.
