Dog Tips, Tricks, and Treats All in One Place

Got a dog that keeps you on your toes? You’re not alone. Below you’ll find short, useful advice that you can try today – from calming barking to picking the healthiest snack.

Quick Fixes for Common Dog Problems

If your pup barks nonstop, start by figuring out why. Is it boredom, fear, or a cue from the doorbell? Once you know the cause, swap the bark for a calm cue like "sit" or "down" and reward the quiet moment with a treat.

Needing to lock your dog in a room? Make the space comfortable with a bed, water, and a chew toy. A tired dog is a calm dog, so a short play session before confinement helps.

Wondering whether your dog can eat pineapple? The fruit is safe in tiny pieces, but avoid the core and skin. Pineapple gives a boost of vitamin C, but too much can upset the tummy.

Thinking about removing the collar at night? It’s fine as long as the dog isn’t prone to slipping out. A soft, breakaway collar offers safety without the risk of choking while they sleep.

Do you need to know how long training sessions should be? Keep them under 10 minutes for puppies and 15 minutes for adult dogs. Short, focused sessions keep attention high and avoid frustration.

Choosing the Right Gourmet Treats

When you look for a treat, read the ingredient list. Real meat should be the first item and there should be no artificial flavors or fillers.

Our treats use locally sourced lamb, salmon, and sweet potatoes. Those ingredients supply protein, omega‑3s, and fiber – all good for shiny coats and healthy guts.

If your dog has a sensitive stomach, start with a single‑protein treat. Mixing proteins can trigger allergies, so a simple lamb biscuit is a safe first step.

Size matters too. Small breeds need bite‑size pieces that won’t pose a choking hazard. Large dogs can handle bigger chews that help clean teeth.

Remember to pair treats with plenty of fresh water. Some dry treats can be salty, and water helps keep your dog hydrated.

Finally, store treats in a cool, dry place. A sealed container keeps them fresh for months and prevents mold.

Use these tips the next time you shop, train, or just want to spoil your pup. Simple changes add up, making life easier for both you and your furry friend.
