After installing a traditional fence at two of the homes we’ve owned, I can tell you two things for sure: It’s expensive and a lot of work! At every place we’ve lived with our pups (at least six!), my biggest concern has always been if there was a fenced-in yard. My dogs like to roam […]
When I visit my sister-in-law, I always volunteer to walk her Goldendoodle named Dexter. I have two little dogs, and I like hanging out with Dexter to get the big-dog experience. Since Dexter is extra-protective of his family around other dogs, I like to keep him close when I see another dog around. Dexter wears […]
As the days get shorter, there’s a higher chance that you will be outdoors with your dog at dusk or in the dark. Taking my doggos out at night has always made me a bit nervous. I want to make sure I know exactly where they are at all times, and I want to be […]
Getting a new puppy is exciting… but it comes with anxieties. You want everything to be ready for them; dog bed, toys, food – and your dog’s collar. It is recommended to introduce a collar to your pup as early as few weeks old, just make sure the dog collar is the right fit for […]

At one of the dog training classes I took my first dog to, there was an elderly woman who had adopted a massive, very hyper German Shepherd. Often the trainer would have to work with this dog because the owner wasn’t strong enough to hold onto or control her. All I could imagine was this […]
Cats are known for being quite clean. They spend a lot of time grooming themselves and don’t enjoy being dirty (unlike a lot of dogs). So you might be surprised if you see your cat laying in the litter box, right? While this is pretty common behavior for cats, you will want to figure out […]
I remember the first time I let my little adopted chihuahua mix named Rudy off-leash at the park. I was 99% sure that he would stay close to me. He’s a major mama’s boy and had never shown any signs of being an escape artist. But it still felt a little risky. What if he […]
After diving into the world of smart dog collars a month or so ago, I’m officially obsessed. I had no idea these things existed, and to me, they equal something that is completely priceless for pet parents: peace of mind. I will never stop worrying that my dogs will get lost, taken, or hurt and that […]
