How To Get Your Dog To Sleep In His/Her Bed?

I find that most pooches like their bed so this might be an easy one. I use snacks to lure them to their bed and once they are completely in bed and sitting on their bed, I then give them the snack. I also use the power of touch. If I see them in their bed. I’ll come and give them lots of loving caresses on their head and back.

“Go to your bed” is actually a command that I use to get my pooches in their designated places. It seems to come in handy when vacuuming or when they are in the kitchen while I’m cooking. I’ve seen a dog with burn marks on his back caused by hot water that was accidentally spilled on him when he got in front of his owner on her way to the sink to drain whatever she was boiling.

Tonight I tucked in Mr. Mr. I wish I could say that I do this every night. But if I give them lots of attention throughout the day then I’ll skip tucking them in. Today I was out most of the evening, having gone out for dinner so I decided to give him some undivided attention.

Lucho is under my bed so he doesn’t get tucked in. I’m sure that he’s very happy sleeping under us feeling like he’s part of the pack. If I want this guy to sleep in his bed, I have to close my bedroom door. But I’m okay with him under the bed. He’s so obedient that this is his reward.

Dog Harness - Check!

I'm sure that you'll find a dog leash and harness at the pet store. I bought Mr. Mr.'s at PetSmart. So there it is, just over $25 bucks. All done! Now, we're ready for a walk. Mr. Mr. is actually okay walking on the leash with his harness. It was a little tricky walking him and Lucho and what I found worked best was putting one dog on each side. But Mr. Mr. seemed to prefer walking next to our dog Lucho.

Where’s a Good Place in Houston To Get Your 🐶 Dog Vaccinated?

I took Mr. Mr. to Houston's Humane Society Wellness Clinic for his shots. This pet clinic has a quick turnaround and inexpensive services. My total wait (on a Tuesday before noon) was about 20 minutes. That's worth the drive! While I was there the technician was kind enough to check Mr. Mr.’s private parts to see if he needed to be neutered and he does. Snip, snip! So I made the appointment. The appointment was schedule in two weeks since he just got his shots. While I was there I also purchased his flee meds. Today the total came out to $211 for shots, testing for heart worms, and flee medicine for six months which is a pretty good deal. http://www.houstonhumane.org

What Can Buy Your Dog at The Dollar Store?

So, I went to the dollar store by our house, Dollar Tree. I knew they had some dog products so I thought I'd check to see what they had. Heck it's buck! Back from the store now. They do have dog harnesses but only in size small. They are also not very good quality (surprise, surprise). But I did buy a few things: doggy bag holder, treats with first listed ingredient: chicken, and wet wipes. Why the wet wipes? To clean up on accidents to the vet. They seems to happen too frequently. I don't blame them. I'd do the same. Today I tried out the doggy poo poo bags and they do feel cheap but they do the trick!
