Leash Walking!

I know it can be tough, but one KEY aspect of good leash walking is ATTENTION. Bring your clicker and some treats, every time your puppy makes eye contact with you, CLICK and treat! It's an easy start to a great walking session.

J-Walking with McCann dogs appears to be offered at a discount right now https://dogsthat.com/walk-together/?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=hstd-dt&utm_adgroup=dog-training-games%22&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=16570735367&gbraid=0AAAAACIznm-tZnBQO6cVZZNpJi9bYAiQ8&gclid=CjwKCAjw1vXTBhB-EiwAEKr_k_HIlAtpi116I37iexV1AjxRoWFAkHS-2LsLlVocskMMvGiKwNt0RRoCia4QAvD_BwE

Dog beds(actually bath mats🤣)

I know, I know... bath mats? But, hear me out.

There's no foam for those super chewers to eat and/or destroy. They wash in a washing machine with ease, and they're cost effective!

My tip is to get the kind that is "like a towel", no rubber backing, no special features, and definitely not filled with anything.

This is the idea - https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/Better-Homes-Gardens-Cotton-Reversible-Bath-Rug-Nimbus-Blue-17-x-24/2BMHD4SY3D87?selectedSellerId=0&cmpid=SEM_CA_32613_SWQ2SLIHH8&utm_id=SEM_CA_32613_SWQ2SLIHH8&utm_medium=paid_search&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=always_on&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=20038495635&gbraid=0AAAAADv6L0SWLf1Oyi0sjQs5uPgtN1fsR&gclid=Cj0KCQjw3qLSBhDaARIsAFTiVh7NFKBv0_4MJ5Mx9v-wahMXQOPLATD5QJKyin0jmX-jXAg9ap_ifx8aAj-zEALw_wcB

I searched "Cotton Terry Bath Mat"

I know, they aren't cute, they aren't fancy, but if your dog happens to pull off a few strands, or ingests some of the bedding, it "should" pass easier than stuffing/foam or some other materials. Sometimes utility in the place of fancy will help to determine if your pup is "ready" for a big fancy bed. Some dogs push them to the side and prefer the cool/hard ground.

My Favourite Group!

Last year WIX changed their platform for this "area" on my website from a Forum to what they call Groups. In that change, all my posts were saved, BUT there are no members in any of my pre-2025 groups.

I hope this will trigger some kind of notification, the posts in this group specifically are important to review, they have some really interesting information, great topics and somethings that I've learned along the way!

Hope you all enjoy the information provided.

Talk soon,

Joce

Dog Friendly Locations - Our weekend at the Dog Show!

Guys, we had a BLAST!

I wanted to create a new post to encourage us all to share places we've been and LOVE that are dog friendly. It's so hard sometimes to travel with dogs, but this weekend we went to an Air BnB that was pet friendly, had so many accommodations for the dogs, dog beds in every room, blankets, towels, bowls, a pool and a great yard(though unfenced) for running around.

The dog show we were at was hosted by a Dog friendly winery! There are trails and events there, the patio is dog friendly and all their drinks are dog themed!

Here are some links!
