Recommended Facebook Groups and Pages:
Whether you are a first-time dog owner or someone who has had dogs their entire life, I highly recommend joining some of these groups. There is always more to learn!
- Canine Enrichment - Hundreds of ideas for boredom busting, trick training, and more. Dogs need to be given a 'job' to do, or they will find one themselves! One way to put your dog to 'work' is to give him/her problem solving games and enriching activities, such as snuffle matts and such. "This is the group your dog wants you to join!"
- Puppy Culture Discussion Group - We use Puppy Culture and swear by it.
- Tricks and Training - As with Canine Enrichment, this group is meant for keeping dogs busy, happy, and bonding with your dog through training. There is typically a Trick of the Week.
- The Raw Feeding Community - A great place for beginners to learn more about raw feeding, correct food ratios, safe handling, and debunk some common raw-feeding myths.
- Nail Maintenance for Dogs - You'd be amazed at the importance of keeping a dog's nails trimmed. Whether your dog is an 8 week old puppy or a 10 year old rescue, this group will walk you through teaching your dog to enjoy 'paw spa' days.
