Teach Your Dog to “Touch:” Trick or Treat Giveaway Hop 2016

The Trick or Treat Giveaway Hop is sponsored by Caru, Nature’s Logic, and The Honest Kitchen.

We’re so excited to be a part of this year’s Trick or Treat Giveaway Hop! Henry and I are joining up with fourteen other dog bloggers to bring you the chance to win almost $600 in prizes while teaching your dog fifteen new tricks. 

We’re going to teach you a “trick” that will help you keep your dog’s attention if there is something distracting afoot. Henry is reactive on walks, which can be a challenge in the city, and teaching him to touch my hand on command helps to center him and regain his focus if we run into another dog. Keeping reading for your chance to learn “TOUCH” and win a bunch of fun prizes!

5 Reasons Why a Woofpup is Better Than a Second Dog

This post is sponsored by Woofpup. I have been compensated to help spread the word about their fun new website, but I only post things that I feel will be beneficial to my readers.

Meet Ruby, a Woofpup. What’s a Woofpup, you ask? It’s a collectible stuffed toy from Woofpup.com, a website that bills itself as “the ultimate online community for dog lovers.” Woofpup.com users can upload photos of their dogs, share stories, view other users’ pups, and enter the Woofpup of the Month contest. The winning dog has a limited edition stuffed toy made in his or her honor, and the lucky owner takes home $500!

Wish you could take home another live dog instead of a stuffed one? Not so fast! Here are five reasons why a Woofpup is better than a second dog:

I was approached to write a Whimzees chew review in exchange for a few packages, but the product was just a bonus because I’ve been planning to tell you about these great chews for some time! They’re cost effective, safer and healthier than many other chews, and Henry LOVES them.
