Unfortunately, the only way to be sure you'll get the right size anything for your dog is to measure them. We know they're not all that cooperative about standing still, but the good news is you only have to do it once. For video and detailed information, check out the Golly Gear "Measuring Your Dog" guide.

Dogs love Chicken Heart Treats a lot. Every time we pack an order, we have to pay a "toll" to the resident gate keepers. Our dogs figure that if some lucky dog is getting some, they should, too. So they do. We don't consider it "spoiling" them. They're our fellow curators of the collection. They know what's good. We respect their opinions. Find them in the Dog Treats section on Golly Gear.

Why on earth does a dog need to learn to walk sideways? Unless you're planning to do Rally, it's probably not necessary. Unless you want your dog to maintain fitness and balance throughout their life. Most dogs don't have a lot of body awareness. And, just like people, their balance and strength can diminish with age. Anything we can do (especially if it's fun!) to help our dogs stay fit, active, and moving is a win. Check out the step-by-step "Sideways" training game in the Training Hub at Golly Gear.

We're absolutely not claiming that GG Naturals Toothpaste (available only at Golly Gear because we make it ourselves in the kitchen) is why Booker still has teeth at 14 years of age. But we're not not saying it, either. Just sayin.

This picture is Fran's Brussels Griffon Tango competing at the Kentucky Exposition Center in Louisville lots of years ago. If you've never been there, it's huge. It's noisy. The Louisville cluster of dog shows was the largest in the country at the time (it may still be, we haven't been in a while).
What's remarkable about this picture isn't a Griff doing agility. There are some amazing Griffs in agility. But this dog was so fear-aggressive when Fran got him that no one, not even her sister Hope, was safe. Just a couple years later, here he was. Among the crowds, noise, dust, and chaos of a huge show.
In this week's 2-Minute Trainer tip, you'll see how even a timid dog's life can expand when you give them the grace to move at their own pace. Check it out in the Training Hub on Golly Gear.

We think that seeing lots of different dogs wearing the same harness in different situations can only help make choices easier. That's what we tell our customers when we beg for pictures. Actually, we just like getting dog pictures. It always makes us laugh when somebody on social media faux-apologizes for flooding the zone with pictures when they get a dog. Like that's even possible. Like we would ever say "No, stop! Too many dog pictures." Anyway, here's a bunch of dogs wearing the EZ Wrap step-in harness. It comes in lots of colors and sizes and dogs are comfortable in it. And they look really cute.

The sweetest thing happened after Hope taught Obedience class on Saturday. She looked outside the building and there, waiting for Collin and Tom (Tom's the dog), were Maddie and baby Nora. (Image is AI, not Collin and Maddy (or Tom).)
We have to 'fess up. There have been times, especially when we only see older people in our training classes, that we've thought young people may be too selfish to take on the responsibilities that come with pet ownership.
And then we meet an amazing young family. Collin and Maddy were first in class years ago, when Tom was just a wee pup. They're back in class, not because Tom is misbehaving. They came back to make sure that Tom knows he's still loved, still important.
If these busy young parents made it a priority to find time to focus on their dog, anybody can. We talk about it more in this week's Golly Gear (.) com Dog Blog post.

Momma said there'd be days like this.
Don't worry - if you're smiling at this, we're not talking about you.

We're all in for our home teams. Even when there are soul-destroying droughts between championship seasons. But we still remember most of the words to the Super Boul Shuffle. If you're a die hard fan, too, you can find your Bears and Blackhawks dog collars and leashes at Golly Gear in the "Collars" section.

Time flies when you're having fun! Hope just brought baby Torque home when this picture was taken. Of course, he had to go to work from the get-go! And today, having just celebrated his 12th birthday, he's still hard at it, napping in a cozy bed under Hope's desk. He was, and still is, the perfect dog for her.
