Here at Happy Hound, we think every day is Puppy Day, but there is an official “National Puppy Day” on March 23rd! Happy Hound offers training classes for all sizes, doggie daycare and dog walking services which can help you ensure your dog is getting properly trained, socialized, and exposed to new people and places. Celebrate this National Puppy Day by showing your current pet some love or learning more about puppy ownership so that you can be your dog’s best friend, too. Visit Happy Hound in Oakland, California, for professional advice, dog training, dog boarding, and to socialize your puppy safely during Covid at our Puppy Park.

In honor of National Pet Dental Health Month, Happy Hound has some tips for keeping your dog’s mouth clean and healthy. The easiest way to care for your dog’s dental health and prevent more serious issues is to brush your dog’s teeth daily. Dental treats or chews are an easy way to help prevent tartar buildup, and your dog sure won’t complain! Smaller dogs and dogs with narrow skulls tend to have the toughest time with dental issues.

Whether you adopted a brand new puppy or rescued an adult or senior dog from the shelter, all dogs benefit from a little discipline and will love showing off their new tricks. Start the new year off with some easy-going commands and consistent reinforcement, and you’ll see improvement in your dog’s behavior in no time. This January, spend some quality fun-time with your doggo and build upon your bond by teaching them some new tricks. Whatever your new year’s resolutions are, training your dog is relatively easy to stick to and will reward you for years to come.

We bet your pup will be a Happy Hound to have you around and love all the excitement of decorating and new smells from holiday cooking and baking. Obviously, alcohol is a no-no, but make sure you keep an eye out for these foods and clean up any spills: * Dairy products (eggnog = dairy + alcohol, a double no!): similar to your lactose-free friends, dogs will not have a happy tummy one made specifically for dogs Happy Hound does not recommend feeding human food to your pets, but there are some safe options if you ‘accidentally’ drop some food on the floor. From all of us at Happy Hound, we wish you a merry, healthy holiday season and a wonderful new year!
