🎃👻 Halloween at Happy With Dogs!

Our camp dogs got into the Halloween spirit, and I seriously cannot handle how cute some of these costumes are. 😂

We had prisoners, bumblebees, and a few who were just here for the treats!

Now we need your help picking a favorite! 🏆

Which costume gets your vote? Tell us in the comments!

And PLEASE share a picture of your dog dressed up for Halloween! We’d love to see everyone’s costumes, even if your dog only tolerated it for 30 seconds. 😂

Happy Halloween from our crew at Happy With Dogs! 💜🧡

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! 🎃👻

Tonight’s the night! Save this checklist so you and your pup are ready before the first trick-or-treater rings the doorbell. 🔔

🍫 Keep the candy up high. Dogs and candy don’t mix!
🛋️ Set up a quiet, comfy spot away from the front door
🏷️ Double-check those ID tags, since doors will be opening all night
👗 Make sure costumes are comfy, and skip them if your pup isn’t into it
🕯️ Keep candles and decorations out of reach
🏃 Get in a good walk or play session before the festivities start

And if your dog gets into something they shouldn’t, call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 right away.

Have a safe and spooky night, and don’t forget to send us your pup’s costume pics! We want to see them ALL! 💜👇

Halloween is TOMORROW! 🎃 Here are 2 things to do before the trick-or-treaters show up:

🕸️ Dog-proof your decorations
Lit jack-o’-lanterns, hanging decorations, fake spider webs, and electrical cords can be way too tempting for curious pups. Keep candles out of reach (or switch to battery-powered ones), and secure anything your dog might chew, pull down, or get tangled in.

Your homework: practice “off-limits” areas and “place.” A dog who knows where they’re supposed to be can stay safe around decorations all year long, not just on Halloween!

🏃 Get the zoomies out early
A tired dog is a calm dog. Get in a good walk, a game of fetch, or a fun training session BEFORE the doorbell starts ringing. Your pup will be much more relaxed when the costumes come out.

Your homework: practice loose-leash walking on that walk, or work on recall in a safe, enclosed area. Those skills come in handy on busy nights like Halloween!

Have a happy, safe, and spooky Halloween from all of us at Happy With Dogs! 👻💜

Halloween is just two days away… is your pup’s costume ready? 🎃👻

Whether your dog is going full jailbird or keeping it cozy in dino pajamas, here’s how to make sure the costume is a treat, not a trick:

👀 Make sure they can see clearly
🐾 Check that they can walk, sit, and lie down comfortably
🌬️ Nothing tight around the face, neck, or chest that could affect their breathing
🪢 Skip small pieces they could chew off and swallow

Not every dog loves dress-up, and that’s okay! Watch their body language. Tucked tail, pinned-back ears, freezing, or trying to wiggle out of it are all signs your pup isn’t having fun.

Your homework: introduce the costume a little at a time before Saturday, with lots of treats and praise. 🦴 And if your pup’s still not into it? A festive bandana totally counts. 💜

Your dog is amazing in the house.

Then you walk outside and suddenly it’s like you’ve never trained a day in your life. 😂

That doesn’t automatically mean your dog is stubborn or “knows better.”
Your kitchen is easy.

Outside there are dogs. People. Smells. Movement. Noise. A squirrel making terrible life choices across the street.

That’s a completely different ask.
Dogs have to practice the skill around the stuff that actually makes it hard.

That’s one of the biggest reasons I like group class.

Not because your dog needs to prove they can sit one more time.
Because I want them to practice doing the thing when real life is happening around them.

If your dog is great at home and loses their whole brain outside, come work on it with us.

Halloween is this Saturday, and for a lot of dogs, that means one thing: the doorbell. Over. And over. And over. 🔔

Costumed strangers, knocking, kids shouting “trick or treat!”… even the most social pup can get overwhelmed.

That’s why every dog deserves their own little haunted house (aka a safe space)!

Before Saturday:
🛋️ Set up a quiet, comfy spot away from the front door, like a crate, a bed, or a cozy room
🦴 Give them a long-lasting chew or stuffed Kong to keep them busy
🚪 Practice door manners so your pup learns to wait calmly when the door opens
🏷️ Double-check their ID tags, since it only takes a second for a dog to slip out

A calm dog makes for a happy Halloween, for them AND for you!

Struggling with door manners or a dog who goes wild when the doorbell rings? Our trainers can help. Send us a message!

Halloween is just days away, and the candy is already piling up! 🎃

That face says “is any of that for me?” 👀

The answer: nope! Dogs and candy don’t mix. 🚫

The two biggest dangers:
🍫 Chocolate, especially dark chocolate
🍬 Sugar-free candy and gum with xylitol

Before Saturday, find a spot to keep the candy bowl up high (not in a cauldron at nose level 😂), and plan on a quick floor sweep after the kids dump out their haul. Keep some dog-safe treats handy so your pup still gets in on the fun!

Your homework this week: practice “leave it”! It’s one of the most important skills your dog can learn, and it can truly save their life.

Need help teaching “leave it”? Our trainers are here for you. Send us a message!

Everything here is stuff we actually use in training.

Where it lives matters to us too. Our little shop is inside Torch 180 in Fowlerville, MI. Torch 180 is a local nonprofit helping people gain job skills, confidence, and real work experience.

So when you stop in for a LickiMat or a chew that actually holds up, you’re supporting that too.

Come say hi next time you’re downtown.
