We have a high heat index alert of over 100 degrees this weekend, so it is important that we keep our dogs safe, happy, and cool. 🐶

Here are a few quick tips:

☀️ Walk your dog early in the morning or later in the evening
☀️ If the ground is too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws
☀️ Always have fresh, cool water available
☀️ Stick to indoor training sessions and brain games during peak heat hours
☀️ Watch for signs of overheating: heavy panting, drooling, tiredness, or vomiting. Please contact your veterinarian if you have any questions or concerns.

Stay cool out there!!🐾

Ever wonder why your dog lights up when it's time to play tug? It's more than just fun — tug taps into your dog’s natural instincts to chase, grab, and shake, giving them a safe outlet for that primal drive. 💥

But here's the real magic: Tug builds your bond. When played with structure and rules, tug becomes a trust-building experience between you and your dog. It teaches self-control, reinforces engagement, and builds confidence — especially in shy or nervous pups.

✅ Healthy outlet for drive
✅ Builds confidence
✅ Teaches impulse control
✅ Strengthens your connection

So next time your pup brings you a toy... take the invite! Tug is more than a game — it's a relationship builder. 💪❤️

Pictured is our Board and Train Oliver having an engaging game of tug! 🐾🐶

Oliver has now been in our Board and Train program for one week, and we’re SO thrilled with his progress! When he arrived, his resource guarding was intense — he would react with bites simply when someone entered the same room. Today, he’s calmly allowing us to pick up his food bowl, a HUGE milestone! 🤩

He’s also showing great improvement with thresholds and doorways, demonstrating more patience and responsiveness. We’re proud of how far Oliver has come in such a short time, and we’re excited to continue guiding him toward becoming a more confident and balanced pup! 🐾💕

Go, Ollie, go!!!

Handsome Oliver, an 8mo Corgi, is here for his first day to work on resource guarding! While he’s a sweet boy, he tends to guard his food and treats from people. We’re starting the process of showing him he doesn’t need to worry about guarding and that we’re a team. We are excited to see how he grows throughout his journey! 🐾

☀️As the weather heats up, it’s important to help your dog gradually acclimate to the rising temps. Just like us, our furry friends need time to adjust!🐶

Here are a few quick tips:

🐾Walks: Stick to early mornings or evenings to avoid hot pavement and overheating.
🐾Water: Keep fresh water available at all times—hydration is key! Make sure to NOT give too much water at least an hour before or during physical exercise as this can make them sick.
🐾Training sessions: Keep them short and sweet when outdoors, and find shady spots whenever possible.
🐾 Watch for signs of heat stress: Excessive panting, drooling, or sluggishness means it's time to cool down.

Let's keep our kiddos safe, happy, and thriving as the summer approaches!☀️🌳🐕
