Paws For Thought

They won’t be by your side forever - but they’ll stay in your heart long after the leash is hung up. Now go hug your dog!

Trick Time
Hide Your Eyes!

Want to melt hearts? Teach your pup to cover their eyes on cue - aka the “Peekaboo” trick. It’s ridiculously cute and surprisingly easy. 🥰

Here’s how: Gently stick a small piece of masking tape on your dog’s nose (yep, you may have to dry that little sniffer first - wet noses 🐶 and tape aren’t exactly besties). Most dogs will try to paw it off right away. The second they do, say “Peekaboo!” - or whatever cue word you choose - then reward with a treat. Keep practicing, and soon they’ll cover their eyes on command - no tape needed.

Warning: Side effects may include uncontrollable “awwws” from anyone watching.

Howl Outs
Barking Their Praises!

📢 Dogdrop - This spot is changing the game when it comes to dog daycare. One day your pup’s making paw print art, the next they’re the star of a photoshoot. Safe, secure, and never boring - it’s where daycare meets doggy lifestyle.

📢 Tonka Toys - I grabbed one of these toys for my Cavapoo, who treats every toy like it insulted his mother. Normally it’s total destruction within the hour, but this one’s somehow still good.
