humane dog training

One of the most common challenges of being a good pet parent is teaching our dog good manners. Whether you’ve got a dog who pulls, jumps on people or lunges at other dogs, you know what a hassle it can be. Sometimes it can even make you not want to go certain places with your pooch…and that’s no fun! It’s also stressful trying to figure out what to do about it since everyone has an opinion.

One thing we learned early on with Daisy from her Humane Society trainer, is that choke collars are a big NO-NO. We all love our fur kids and it’s super important to use a humane and fun method to teach them good manners. It’s not only cruel, but also ineffective to use punishment, pain or force in attempting to train your dog. This applies whether you have a new puppy you are training as you raise them, a juvenile, or an adult dog who has developed some bad habits that need to be addressed.

I recently connected with veteran trainer, Alecia Evans, who introduced us to her fun and highly-effective humane walking and training system: Walk In Sync. We’re SO excited to be able to share this invaluable solution with our fellow pet parents! Here’s Alecia with an intro message from her training website to give you an idea of her friendly approach, and the resources you get with the system.

What is Walk In Sync?
  • The Walk In Sync Humane Dog Walking and Training System is pain-free for your dog and stress-free for you.
  • Designed for superior comfort with soft but sturdy webbing, fully adjustable girth and neck straps, and reflective tabs for night walks.
  • The expertly designed harness has a training clip at the front and a walking clip at the back to assist you in eliminating the pulling habit in minutes, without ever pulling, choking or damaging your dog or puppy’s neck, trachea and throat.
  • The exclusive Accu-grip leash design gives you the confidence and control to be the leader your dog has been begging you to be.
  • In addition to the leash and harness, you get full access to an exclusive “Members Only” video site which includes the Walk In Sync 3 Easy Steps and Puppy Training Videos.

holiday gift guide for pets

Got a dog on your list that’s super hard on their toys or just super hard to buy for? Here are 5 extremely tough dog toys that are also tons of fun! These durable and long-lasting toys make great gifts for the holidays and are sure still be going strong well after the tree and lights come down!

tough dog toys gift guide for pets

1) Varsity Ball: 110% Guaranteed Indestructible and tons of fun! Daisy and her boyfriend Fin have tested hers repeatedly and it wears them out each time! Comes in 4 color choices including a special Limited Edition Pink with $2 going to Chase Away K9 Cancer. Made in USA, the Varsity Ball is a generous 12″ in diameter at $39.

2) KONG Classic: Daisy’s very first toy was a KONG and this brand has never let us down. This super bouncy rubber chew toy is Made in the USA and is designed to be stuffed with any kind of treat (Daisy likes peanut butter in hers) to keep dogs busy and entertained while they work for their snack. You can freeze them, too! S-XXL starting from $5.58.

3) Bionic Bone: Made from FDA-approved bionic rubber, this fun toy floats and can be stuffed with treats, frozen, and put in the dishwasher, too! Similar to the KONG, but always fun to have different shapes, sizes and colors to play with! Daisy got one a few months ago and it still looks brand new even with daily use. S-L from $9.99.

4) Planet Dog Orbee-Tuff Cosmos Dog Toy: We think these 5″ ball toys look like they’d make a great addition to Daisy’s toy box and are on our wish list this Christmas! VENUS is pink, MARS is swirly silver, SOL is orange and LUNA, representing the moon, glows in the dark. Each has a spot for hiding treats and are designed with big dogs in mind.  Cosmos are made in the USA, are buoyant, bouncy, minty, recyclable, non-toxic and 100-Percent guaranteed. $10-$15 each.

5) Nylabone Proaction Dog Dental Chew: A very long-time favorite of Daisy’s, we actually lost her first one recently (she even used to sleep with it). It was 2 years old and still in great shape, so I’m still hoping it will turn up eventually. Not to be confused with Nylabone edible chew treats, this is a hard chew toy with a specially-textured design to stimulate gums and reduce tartar as well as help satisfy your dog’s natural urge to chew. Several design styles and sizes are available from $6-$18 each.

For safety, it’s very important to inspect dog toys frequently and watch for wear and tear or broken pieces that could create a choking hazard or injury. Not all dog toys are right for every dog, and you should never leave your dog unattended with a new toy if he or she is an extreme chewer or has a history of destroying tough toys.
