Do You Have A Dog That Needs Social Interaction?

Not all dogs are friendly and cuddly and obedient at first. Dogs are much like people and like people they have different kinds of personalities. Many dogs are antisocial and cower at strangers and sometimes show an attitude towards other dogs. These do not always have to be permanent traits. Sometimes all these types of dogs need are a chance to get acclimated with socialization. Maybe they shy away from attention because they are uncomfortable with it but the more they interact, the more they will become comfortable with it. It is entirely possible to change the personality of your dog through patience, love, and kindness. Social interaction, however, is critical. While going to a dog park once every other week is good, some dogs really require more socialization than that.

How Do I Socialize My Dog More?

You may find it more difficult than you think to socialize your dog because many places are not dog-friendly and not everyone likes dogs. Sometimes dogs are not welcome in public areas because it may be a violation of the health department, like in restaurants and grocery stores. Whatever the reason, this hinders dogs from being socialized that actually need that type of interaction. The best option may be doggy daycare. At doggy daycare, dogs not only interact with people but also with other dogs. This can prove vital in transforming your dog into a sociable one. Aside from love and care from their owners, some dogs need a little more attention to become entirely comfortable with all people and other dogs.

Why Should I Get My Dog Professionally Groomed?

Why Should I Get My Dog Professionally Groomed?

Grooming is something that many of us dog parents have to do for our dogs because of the breed. I know that my Maltese have to be groomed because they shed down to their skin which created a thick matted coat if not properly groomed. Their hair also continues to grow and will eventually touch the floor if they are not groomed. The hair is not the only thing that keeps growing if not cut. The fingernails also keep growing and will eventually become painful for them. So, why should you get a dog groomed if they do not suffer from these same grooming issues? For one, every dog deserves a little pampering but two, it improves their health. Dogs should be bathed regularly and have nail trims and ears cleaned out on a regular basis. These are not usually tasks we do at home for our fur babies, so it is essential to take them and let a groomer do it for them.

We Love What We Do

Our trained and licensed professionals absolutely love their jobs, and it shows. They do not only bathe and cut your dog’s fur, but they also pamper and spoil them with a relaxing massage bubble bath. They are also in the know for all the new hairstyles for each breed and will make sure that the cut they get matches the breed. They also want to make sure that not only your dog leaves happy, but you do as well.

Do You Own a Shedding Dog?

Do You Own a Shedding Dog?

If you own a dog, it is highly probable that it sheds. Some breeds shed more than others, but some shed to the point of being problematic. If your co-workers keep lint rollers in their desk to use on your clothes when you arrive to work, then your dog probably sheds excessively. Many breeds do this. It is actually normal for many breeds, but this doesn’t mean that steps cannot be taken to help prevent so much shedding. Regular brushing helps with excessive shedding, but there are also other steps your groomer can help you with. Now, if you usually do not take your dog to the groomer, that is fine. Just tell them the problem you are having with shedding and the groomer will be able to offer a service that may be able to help without pushing you into other services you do not want for your dog.

What Can a Groomer Do to Help with My Shedding Dog?

A groomer can offer what is called a shed-less treatment. Primarily, this consists of a unique bath, drying, and brushing system. Depending on how badly your dog is shedding it may take several treatments to see a noticeable difference, but given several treatments over the course of 2 to 12 weeks, you will be able to see the treatments working. It is important to note though, that this treatment does not stop the natural shedding process. It is important for our dogs to shed and it is natural, but if your dog is shedding much more than they should, this treatment may benefit them.

Doggy Daycare for All Breeds and Sizes

Doggy Daycare for All Breeds and Sizes

Doggy daycare offers many advantages for dog owners. It may seem silly to some at first, but often dog lovers have to work full-time day jobs that require them to be gone all day long. There may be no one at home to let the dog out to relieve himself or no one home to feed them when it’s time. Also, many dog lovers know the struggle of leaving a dog home alone for long periods of time because many dogs have separation anxiety which causes them to destroy things. Some dog owners just think they have a terrible or disobedient dog, but actually, if they suffer from separation anxiety, they will sometimes shred toilet paper, shoes, furniture, etc. This is not always an act of defiance, at times it is their way of expressing anxiety. They need more socialization. Doggy daycare offers this much-needed attention and socialization, so your dog does not have to spend their days bored and suffering.

Benefits to Doggy Daycare For Anti-Social Dogs

Aside from much-needed company and refrain from boredom, doggy daycare also provides gentle and supervised socialization for dogs that have trouble being around other dogs and people. Our trained staff patiently socializes dogs at their own pace with very careful and gentle prodding. Sometimes dogs need a gentle nudge to help get them over the first hurdle of socialization. Our staff is trained in matters such as this and will work with your dog to help make them friendly with others. It is essential to start your dog socializing as soon as possible if they struggle in this area and you don’t want them to. Some dog owners are completely fine with their dog not socializing and interacting well, which is fine, to each their own, but if you plan on taking your dog anywhere outside the bounds of your private fenced in yard, it is best they are able to handle their emotions.
