Something is coming in November.

Our Black Friday sale opens on Monday 23 November. Our VIP list gets in on Friday the 20th, three days before anyone else sees it.

Same sale, same prices. The only difference is that VIPs go first, which matters when the popular colours and sizes start moving.

Being on our email list is not the same as being a VIP. That is a separate list and the only way on is to put your hand up. Our subscribers got the link tonight.

If you are not on our emails yet, keep an eye on the site from the 1st.

Nine days until the doorbell goes about forty times.

If your dog has a thing about the door, you already know what the 31st looks like. Strangers every few minutes, half of them in costume, and a dog who has decided each one is a threat.

A few things that genuinely help on the night. Feed and walk them before it starts, so they are tired before the first knock. Set them up in a room away from the front door with something to chew. Put a note on the door asking people not to knock, and meet them outside instead.

And do not tell them off for barking. They are already over threshold. Adding your stress to theirs makes the next knock worse, not better.

If door barking is a year round thing rather than a one night thing, the full guide is here: huntersdoggyshop.com/blogs/dog-tips/cesar-millan-top-5-tactics-to-stop-your-dog-barking

Sort the room and the chew this week, not on the day 👀

There is a daycare behind this shop. Not a warehouse. A daycare.

Over the last two and a half years more than a hundred dogs have come through it. Not passing through once either. The same dogs, week after week.

So we know which one will not settle unless she can see the door. Which one comes apart at the sound of the bin truck. And which one has to be first out of the gate or he sulks about it for an hour.

That is where everything in this shop comes from. Not a supplier catalogue. A hundred dogs we see more often than most people see their own.

This is Baxter, who has been coming here since we opened.

Come and meet the rest of them: instagram.com/hunters_doggy_daycare

It is probably not separation anxiety.

You get home and the neighbour mentions the barking again. Or there is a chewed skirting board, or a puddle by the door from a dog who has not had an accident inside for two years.

Almost everyone calls this separation anxiety. Often it is something else, and the something else is far easier to fix.

Real separation distress has a signature. It starts within fifteen to thirty minutes of you leaving, it focuses on the door you left by rather than scattered around the house, and the dog often will not eat at all while you are gone.

Boredom looks different. They settle for a while, then get up and find something to do, and they eat happily the whole time.

The only way to tell is to film it. An old phone propped on a shelf is enough.

This is the position that gets them burnt.

Dogs do get sunburnt, and the pink thinly haired bits go first. Nose, ear tips, belly, inner thighs. Light coats, short coats and anyone who likes to sunbake are most at risk.

Two things worth knowing before the first properly hot weekend. If you cannot hold your hand on the path for seven seconds, it is too hot for their paws. And check your sunscreen, because zinc oxide is toxic to dogs. Pet safe products only.

Repeated sun damage causes skin cancers in dogs, usually on ear tips and noses. It is not a small thing.

Some dogs hear the keys and beat you to the car. Others plant their feet at the driveway.

The frustrating part is that a car sick dog and a terrified dog look almost identical. Drooling, yawning, panting, vomiting. Those signs are on both lists.

Here is the test. Sit in the parked car with your dog, engine off, five minutes. If they drool and pant while the car is stationary, it is fear, not motion.

And the law is not what most people think. Queensland and Victoria both say on their own websites that no road rule requires a dog in the cabin to be restrained. A dog on your lap is an offence though, and a dog on a ute tray is a load.

Had your fountain a month? This is your filter reminder.

Three signs it is due: the flow has quietened, there is a faint slipperiness in the bowl when you wipe it, or your dog has gone back to the tap.

They notice before you do. They usually do.

And if you have not bought one, now you know the running cost before you spend anything rather than after 🐾

It is National Dog Week 🐾

Five things that make you a responsible owner. Most people have four of them covered.

It is the fifth that slips, because a full bowl looks like a solved problem. It usually is not.

Today is Responsible Dog Ownership Day.

We have one rule here. We do not stock anything we would not use on the dogs in our own care. It is why you will not find a shock collar on this website, or a spray collar, or a prong collar.

Most people expect that rule to apply to training gear. It also applies to things far duller 👇

And if your dog has small bumps on their chin and you have a plastic bowl, that is the first thing to change. It does not have to be ours.
