Rain! Rain! And more Rain! Friendly reminder that your dog has just been given a free ticket to Universal Studios with all of this rain… the new smells (oh my!), new textures (oh wow!). The changes in color, air density, new sounds and different noises can make for a whole new world for your dog… especially if they are experiencing a rain storm for the very first time.

Rain can either be thrilling or down right scary. Either way, find your patience… and maybe a qualified trainer, if necessary.

TIP: let them linger a little longer in a sniff. That same p*e spot is totally different now. Mud is totally different than dirt. The texture of any outside surface feels totally different.

TIP: let them chomp on some wet grass. Many dogs love the taste of wet grass. Just practice moderation as in most things.

TIP: Go for a safe drive. Skip the walk and if your dog enjoys the car, go for a drive. The change in scenery and the experience of balancing in a moving car, can be mentally enriching and physically exhausting.

TIP: Have some fun. Adjust with more short training sessions, play more sniffy games inside, put on a good movie or game and give them a long lasting chew while you both snuggle.

Change is an opportunity for growth, especially when driven by rain.

Today in Heritage Ranch a 16-year-old pup named Jagger found himself in a dangerous situation. He was stuck in the mud at Lake Nacimiento and coyotes were trying to get to him. Fortunately, a deputy on patrol was in the right place at the right time. With quick thinking and help from local residents who recognized Jagger from social media posts the day before, they built a makeshift bridge and safely rescued this scared pup.

After a bath, some treats, and lots of “good boy!” praise, Jagger is back home with his family. 🛁🦴🏠

We are grateful for our community’s involvement and our deputy’s quick action today, protecting every member of SLO County, even the four-legged ones. 🐾

Skittles. I had never met a dog named Skittles, so when he arrived in my home as a foster dog, I kept him and the name! Of course like many dogs, Skittles was his formal name; Shoogie is what I called him most days. Although his paw prints washed away in the sand, the evidence of his ...
