October is Adopt a Shelter Dog Month!

Adopting a new pup is exciting, but it's also a big commitment! Doing your research ahead of time can help you find a dog who's a good fit for your home and lifestyle.

Every dog has their own personality, history, and needs.

Ask about the dog's background, whether they've spent time in a foster home, what the shelter knows about their behavior, and any training they've received.

Have children or other pets? It's especially important to ask about the dog's previous experiences with them. A foster family may be able to offer helpful insight into how the dog behaves in a home environment.

And don't forget to ask about foster-to-adopt options, return policies, and what support is available if things don't work out as expected.

Halloween can be exciting for us, but for many dogs, it can be a stressful night.

Doorbells, costumes, and constant activity outside can be overwhelming. Setting up your dog's space ahead of time can make a big difference.

Play white noise or calming music to block outside sounds, and avoid walks during trick-or-treat hours, when there’s the most excitement. You can also post a “No Knocking, Please” sign or leave candy on the sidewalk. For a fun and cozy alternative, have a “movie night” with your dog in a quiet room away from the front door.

A little preparation goes a long way in helping your dog feel safe and relaxed this Halloween.

Bringing home a new puppy is exciting, but it can also come with a lot of questions and challenges!

Getting started with training early can help you and your puppy build a great foundation.

Our Puppy Beginner Training is a 6-week class covering common puppy challenges like potty training, handling, and socialization, along with basic skills like sit, down, and come.

We also offer a Free Puppy Playgroup! This supervised playgroup gives puppies a chance to practice healthy play, communication, and bite inhibition while building their social skills. Plus, it's a great way to burn off some of that puppy energy!

Not every dog is comfortable dressing up, and that's okay! Some dogs don't mind wearing costumes, while others may find them uncomfortable, restrictive, or even scary.

Pay attention to your dog's body language. If they're freezing, trying to remove the costume, moving differently than usual, or avoiding you when you bring it out, those are signs they may not be enjoying the experience.

Costumes should never restrict your dog's vision, hearing, or ability to move. If your dog doesn't want to wear one, don't force them for a cute photo!

It's also important to think about how other dogs might react to costumes. For small dogs, costumes that make them resemble stuffed animals or toys could attract unwanted attention from larger dogs.

If your dog isn't a fan of costumes, there are plenty of other ways to celebrate! A festive collar, Halloween bandana, or fun leash can be just as cute!

You come home tired and your dog is ready for something to do. You want to give them more, but your own energy is running low. Sound familiar?

Intro to K9 Nose Work® teaches you how to set up searches at home that put your dog’s nose and brain to work, with simple supplies and space you already have. It is an enjoyable activity to share on rainy days, cold evenings, or busy days when another big outing feels like too much. Some boxes and a little space give you a practical way to add something different to their routine without adding a complicated project to your day.

Along the way, searching builds confidence and independent problem solving, while helping you recognize how your dog communicates and works through the world of scent.

Two Intro to K9 Nose Work® classes left for 2026. Classes are limited to 3 dogs.

Halloween decorations are popping up everywhere, and while they might be fun for us, they can be confusing or even scary for our dogs!

Imagine going on your usual neighborhood walk and suddenly seeing a giant skeleton, an inflatable monster, or something that moves and makes noise when you get close. Your dog has no idea what those things are or what they're going to do.

If your dog seems unsure about something new, don't walk them right up to it to show them it's harmless. Forcing them to investigate something they're afraid of can make the experience even more stressful.

Instead, give them space to observe from a comfortable distance. Reward them for noticing the object, watch their body language, and let them decide whether they want to investigate further.

And remember, walking away isn't a failure!
Your dog doesn't need to approach every unfamiliar object.
