Not chewing it. Not hiding it. Just proudly showing it off. Everyone stopped.
I still laugh every time I think about the day I took my dog to the park for the first “big walk.” I had visions of calm strolls, the two of us enjoying the breeze… and then he spotted a squirrel, a butterfly, and three joggers in under five minutes. Let’s just say, I spent
I didn’t really understand how important mental stimulation was for dogs until I noticed something off in my own routine. Walks were happening, meals were on time, toys were everywhere — yet my dog still seemed bored, restless, and sometimes a little destructive.
