LET’S TALK THE WALK! # 1.
Whatever age you get your new puppy home, it’s never too early for them to experience the outside world! The sooner you offer safe, controlled socialization opportunities, the more likely you are to raise a happy, confident dog!
Follow along for this short series where we’ll be talking about the A-Z of walks, and how they might look different for dogs of different ages, breeds and temperaments.

As long as you don’t see your dog exhibit hyperactivity, food stealing or territorial behaviours around the kitchen, and they understand when you expect them to step outside, why must we stop them from entering?
Besides, if you think your dog will be badly behaved in the kitchen, ask yourself this- does having a “no dogs in the kitchen” rule solve the problematic behaviour, or simply manage it?
And before you come at me about the fur, dog hair is pretty mobile, it is going to go places your dog hasn’t been. I’ll admit, I’m pretty fortunate that has a super short coat. But if your dog is shedding enough for fur to reach your kitchen counter, you need to reconsider their diet and grooming routine!

So tell me, are dogs allowed into your kitchen?

A very merry X’mas from The Better Canine family! May this Christmas season fill your home with warmth, light, and dog hair (aka joy)! 💜

Side note/ shameless advertising: When your dog knows basic commands like “down”, “stay” and “watch me”, photo shoots like this can be so quick!
