August Pawtraits! 🐾☀️

A little look back at some of the adorable faces that stopped by for their moment in front of the camera this month. 📸🤍

And now… bring on September. 🍂 Back-to-school routines, cooler days, long walks, getting back into our usual habits, and ALL the crunchy leaves.

Especially the crunchy leaves. According to Harley, that is the entire point of autumn. 😂

Here’s to settling back into a little more normalcy and enjoying everything this new season has to offer. 🤎🐶

Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

A little Friday serotonin 🥹🐾

Took Harley to Island View Beach last night and we think she had a pretty great time. 😂🌊

DINNER, BUT MAKE IT A GAME. 🐾

Meet the KONG Wobbler — a fun enrichment toy that can be filled with treats OR your dog’s regular kibble!

Use it for a little extra enrichment during the day, or make breakfast or dinner more interactive by putting some (or all!) of their regular meal inside.

Your dog gets to push, paw, nudge and figure out how to get the goodies out — which can be especially fun for dogs who enjoy a challenge or could use a little help slowing down at mealtime. 🐶

And of course… treats work too! 😉

For the dogs who have never once considered taking their time with dinner. 😂😘

This is Harley.

She's goofy, loving, hilarious... and she's also nervous around strangers and can be leash reactive in busy environments.

For a long time, I worried about what people would think when they saw her wearing a muzzle.

Now?

I see it differently.

Her muzzle gives both of us confidence. It keeps everyone safe, allows me to relax, and lets Harley enjoy adventures without me constantly worrying about the "what ifs."

A properly fitted basket muzzle (like this one) allows a dog to:
🐾 Pant
🐾 Drink water
🐾 Take treats
🐾 Sniff the world around them

A muzzle should never be used as punishment. It should be introduced slowly and positively so your dog is comfortable wearing it.

People often ask, "Have you tried training?"

Yes. We've worked with trainers, learned a lot, and have plenty of tools in our toolbox. Training has helped us tremendously.

But sometimes management is just as important as training.

Harley isn't an "everyone" dog.

And that's okay.

She doesn't need to love every person she meets to have a wonderful, happy life. She deserves to feel safe, and this is one of the ways we help her do that.

If you ever see a dog wearing a muzzle, try not to assume the worst.

Sometimes you're simply looking at a dog with an owner who loves them enough to set them up for success. ❤️

(P.S. We don't currently carry muzzles, but this one is from The Muzzle Movement and has been a fantastic fit for Harley.)
