CHILL OUT!!! Summer time is fast approaching! Giant doggie activity ice cubes are just the thing to relieve the dog days of summer.

Start by adding some chicken stock, beef stock or just plain water in a large food storage container. Then add the fixin's!! -Carrots, Apples, Biscuits, blueberries, kongs or stuffed sterilized bones.

FREEZE! Pop out of the container for a cool treat and busy toy for your dog.

This will keep your dog busy for hours while you entertain friends or get yard work done. This is especially great for the doggie diggers in our lives. Keep them cool and busy!

Enjoy your summer peeps! ☀️

Barking is a completely natural behavior for dogs, but we humans don’t always appreciate it. In your dog’s mind, however, there’s a good reason to bark, so the first thing to do is figure out why she wants to bark in what you consider the most inappropriate times.

If you aren’t home while the barking is going on, you may need to stage a scenario over the weekend to figure it out. Pretend that you are leaving and then come back to spy on the dog.

Does she bark at every movement she sees through the window and every sound she hears? An easy fix for this is to simply block the view. Close the shades. Confine her to a part of the house that doesn’t have windows she can see through or if she stays outside in a fenced-in yard, keep her indoors rather than leaving her outside all day. She won’t bark at what she does not see. Play some music or the television, loud enough to cover outside noises.

If the dog seems to be barking at nothing, he’s likely bored. Boredom, due to lack of exercise and mental stimulation, is probably the biggest reason for excessive barking. Think honestly about whether your dog is getting enough. How would you feel if you were locked up at home all day with no cell phone, tablet, computer or even television? Not even a book to read. You’d get bored pretty fast.

Dogs especially young active dogs need avenues for their energy. We suggest long walks in new areas, brain games as well as interactive toys like Kongs.

If your dog is in the doghouse, please call Beth to discuss how we may help you.
