🐾 Jumping Up 🐾

As their confidence grows, adolescent dogs may display an increased tendency to jump up on people when greeting them.

This can be addressed by teaching them alternative behaviors, such as sitting or offering a paw, and rewarding them for these instead.

🐾 Pulling on Leash 🐾

Many adolescent dogs become more energetic and eager to explore during walks, leading to excessive pulling on the leash.

To address this issue, consider using positive reinforcement techniques such as rewarding them for walking calmly beside you. You can also wear them out by playing frisbee, agility, and using a long line to exercise before your daily walks.

🔥🐶 Beat the Heat — and Boredom — with Indoor Agility or Rally! 🐾🌟

When it’s too hot to walk, your dog still needs a way to move their body and work their brain — and this is where dog sports shine.

Whether you’re brand new or just curious, now’s the perfect time to try:
🎯 Rally Obedience — build focus, precision, and connection through a course of fun cues
🏃‍♀️ Agility — let your dog run, jump, and weave in a safe, positive way (no experience needed!)

These sports aren’t just for high-energy dogs or competitions — they’re for any dog and handler who want to build teamwork, boost confidence, and have a blast together.

✅ Air-conditioned
✅ Beginner-friendly
✅ Perfect way to bond and burn energy

Ready to give it a try?
Check out our Agility and Rally classes and let’s turn up the fun without turning up the heat.

🔥🐾 If You Wouldn’t Walk Barefoot, Don’t Make Your Dog. 🐾🔥

We’re seeing way too many dogs being walked on hot sidewalks during the heat of the day — and it’s honestly heartbreaking. If it’s 90° out, the sidewalk can easily hit 130–150 degrees. That’s hot enough to cause paw burns in seconds.

💥 If you can’t hold the back of your hand on the pavement for 7 seconds, it’s too hot to walk.

But skipping the walk doesn’t mean your dog has to be bored or frustrated — it just means we shift gears.

Here’s a great little indoor activity:

🎓 Teach your dog to SPIN!

It’s fun, burns mental energy, and takes almost no space.

How to teach it:
1. Lure your dog in a circle with a treat close to their nose. Move slowly!
2. The moment they complete the circle, mark it with “yes!” and give the treat.
3. Repeat 5–6 times in the same direction.
4. Once they’re following easily, say “spin” just before you start the hand movement.
5. Fade the lure into a hand signal and use “spin” as your cue.

👉 Bonus points: Teach it in both directions and call it “spin” and “twirl.”

✨Just 5 minutes of trick training can leave your dog satisfied and ready for a nap — no scorched paws required.

✅ Enrichment ideas:
• Snuffle mats
• Frozen Toppls or lick mats
• Chewing time with a safe long-lasting chew
• Towel rolls with treats hidden inside
