Tip of the Month: Halloween Edition!

• If your neighborhood has decorations out now, go ahead and get your dogs used to them from a distance. Slowly get closer as the dogs feels more comfortable.
• Pop-up decorations on motion sensors are not a good environment for training; keep your dogs away from them, and later when time allows, train them for surprises. Should your dogs be doorbell reactive, start a few days before by putting your dog up somewhere safe with a nice chewy bone, frozen Kong or a treat that takes a long time to finish. While they are occupied, ring the bell a few times. Do this about 3 times throughout the day. If your dogs, by the third time exercise with the bone is non reactive, then this dogs can be kept in a room that might be able to hear the amount of doorbell rings that will be heard on Halloween night.

Should your dogs go over the top and cannot handle the doorbell and the excitement, go ahead and have an alternate plan for your dogs for Halloween night. Our 12900 Freemanville Rd. location is having a special Just-for-Halloween night rate of $32 instead of $42. This is for a 24 hour period and includes our dog daycare with no 1/2 day charges. We will keep your dog safe and exercised while you take your kids out for a Halloween romp or enjoy the doorbell ringing over and over without a dog barking.

We love happy dogs and happy dogs make happy owners.
