As we covered only a couple of days ago (
see here), performing exercises with your dog is NOT pointless nor cruel. Performing exercises, for our dogs, is incredibly helpful for both their physical and mental health and wellbeing. This Halloween, if your dog doesn't enjoy going out and about seeing people all dressed up in darkness (something that can be incredibly dangerous, creepy and confusing for our dogs), doing some quiet and relaxed trick training in exchange for treats of their own is a much better plan for the weekend. Your dog can have his/her own fun this Halloween, in a way in which he is safer and more comfortable.
Have a brilliant time!

We're delighted, and we adore participating in the blog hop! Thank you again! We will display our award badge proudly on our blog.
I want to see the video of the kibble getting flipped into Earls mouth. Very cute badge I will have to checkout your you page. Congrats on your award.
ReplyDeleteIt is hilarious! He is such a well behaved and obedient boy. I'll record a video for you all! We'd love it if you could send in something for our YOU feature! Thank you RE our award!
DeleteVery nice job having the piece of kibble sit on your face!! Did you obey the "leave it" command or something else for that? Most dogs are probably going to be safest inside their homes as opposed to outside on Halloween night. That's where my pups Missy & Buzz will be ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove your interview idea!
He is such an obedient and patient little dog. Yes, the 'leave' command is incredibly helpful in exercises like this one! And yes, dogs should remain out of trouble this Halloween. We'd love it if you could also send in something for YOU!
DeleteEarl's got a whole bag of tricks doesn't he? Congrats on the award - well deserved, you guys work really hard to stay fit.
ReplyDeleteHe does! Quite literally hundreds of them! Thank you RE our award; we're honoured!
DeleteYou two are always tricking out! So fun, fit and active, glad you have the award! Happy Howloween Weekend!
ReplyDeleteEarl and Ethel both have many entertaining exercises and performances up their fuzzy sleeves!
DeleteThank you!
ReplyDeleteWe know how happy doing tricks can be, Arty is at his happiest when he is doing tricks with Mama, he loves having a job!!
ReplyDeleteSmileys!
Dory, Jakey, Arty & Bilbo
My dogs LOVE performing with me.
DeleteCongrats on the badge!
ReplyDeleteThe pups will be home having a low-key Halloween after a fun day at the Expo even if the humans decide to go out.

Thank you! And I hope you all enjoy the Expo!
DeleteCongrats! I think we're going to have a quiet Halloween and watch movies.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Good idea. We have a new movie to watch, too.
DeleteWell done!!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Thank you!
DeleteHave a wonderful Halloween! I hope that you both get many more treats for all of your cool tricks. ♥
ReplyDeleteThank you! And you! There is an endless supply of tricks my duo can do, means an endless supply of treats...
DeleteI will stay at home tonight... with my own treats... hope I haven't to do tricks to get them :o) Happy Howl-o-ween :o)
ReplyDeleteWe have a meal, but the dogs will be safe and sound inside. Happy Halloween!
DeleteHi Y'all!
ReplyDeleteFirst, congrats on the awards!
Second, guess we're lucky...whether we're here or at the shore, we never see trick or treaters...guess we live in areas that are just too rural.
So sorry we haven't been around much lately. Unfortunately, real life has intervened.
Y'all come on by,
Hawk aka BrownDog
Thank you! I'm sure it's bliss living in such a gorgeously rural area. And no problem! Come by when you can.
DeleteHubby took Freighter hunting today, he should be good and tired. Thunder and Storm are ticked they did not get to go. Should be fun around here tonight...lol.
ReplyDeleteAh! Good idea. Hopefully they are worn out enough to settle this evening!
DeleteWe love tricks for treats! Happy Halloween!
ReplyDeleteSo do we! Happy Halloween!
DeleteKilo the Pug loves doing tricks and exercises for treats - it is helping him be a happier healthier dog. He will be in his crate relaxing with a chew when kids come by but we might pop down to a party at his favourite indoor spot- we'll see if he gets too stressed or not.
ReplyDeleteSo do mine! I agree with you! Hopefully he will relax and enjoy his evening.
