Puppy

Walking Your Dog with Your Toddler

April 28, 2017 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

Walking your dog with your toddler might be a crazy idea in your mind but today I am going to share how we did it! Since we got Bayley everyone has wanted to participate in her care in one form or another from grooming to feeding to walking. (You can read more about this in our post Tips for a New Puppy).We feel that it is very important to allow each child a job and to take responsibility in some way or another!

How to Let Your Toddler Walk Your Dog

Lil’ Red likes being helpful and doing what the “big kids” can do. He asked if he could walk the dog and we said YES! He was going to go walk Bayley with Daddy’s help of course. We just so happened to have a slip leash from when our old dog, Jazz, got out of the yard and was picked up by animal control.

First we put on a dog harness which seems to calm Bayley down a bit. She has her everyday collar but she tends to pull too much and practically choke herself on walks if we just use a leash with a collar. Using a hraness allows for more control without hurting her. Next Daddy attached his 6 ft. leather leash to the harness. Then the yellow slip leash was added which Lil’ Red was going to use.

Walking the Dog with Toddler

Boy, did Lil’ Red think he was big stuff “walking the dog”! Daddy was in control the entire time but Lil’ Red didn’t know it. If you notice the taunt leather leash but the loose yellow leash..

I absolutely loved taking pictures of both Daddy and Lil’ Red walking the dog. It was so cute to see the determination on Lil’ Red’s face as well as the sense of satisfaction he had! Bayley enjoyed her walk and so did her dog walkers. Exercise is important for puppies and dog’s as well as their humans!

Tips and Tricks for a New Puppy

March 25, 2016 By Thaleia Leave a Comment

We just picked up our new puppy, Bayley yesterday! It has been a crazy first 24 hours with our sweet pup! We had spent the entire past week preparing for our new puppy. We did a huge clean up all around the house to ensure that she was coming into a safe environment. Since we have not had a puppy for 15 years this means it’s the first time with kids and a puppy! Boy has it been a learning curve for all of us including Bayley.

Princess did a ton of research for what a new puppy would need and how to train a puppy. She even researched toys, treats, leash training, potty training, and basic puppy socialization. We found out about Puppy Playdates each Saturday held at our local Petco, we searched out Obedience classes. After talking to our vet he suggested NOT going to public dog parks or playdate until after two puppy well visits.
