The 12 Dog Days of Christmas


At Yooper Paws of Love we like to slowly move into the Holiday Spirit by adding a few new holiday decorations each day.  We also like to have some fun including our pets in our holiday plans which is why we created the 12 Dog Days of Christmas!  And we invite all our friends to join in this fun Christmas Dog Training Photo Challenge.

Yes I know typically the 12 Days of Christmas begins on Dec 25th and goes after Christmas, but how many people really want to spend the time after the 25th getting in the Christmas spirit. So I've decided to do this fun photo game leading up to Christmas. The game will be simple:
The daily challenge will be posted at http://www.yooperpaws.com/ and on our Facebook Page.  You can participate by adding your photos on the FB page or email them to yooperpaws@gmail.com.  
As you have fun playing with your dog, getting them to do the 12 Dog Days of Training, take pictures and post them to our Facebook page or email them directly to yooperpaws@gmail.com.
And here is the best part...participation is 100% FREE and should be fun for you and your dogs!
Day 1 starts on December 14th.   You can follow or subscribe to the Yooper Paws blog to have the daily theme sent directly to your email box.  And I will also be posting the info each day on the Facebook page so if you LIKE that page, the daily post should show up in your news feed. 
Most of the activities are simple things that are covered in basic obedience. But even if you have never trained the dog to do anything, you can still participate! (And yes, for my friends with cats or other animals...you can play along too as long as you can get your animal to do the activities!)
This is something that your going to want to share with all of your dog loving friends and family.  The easiest way to that is to share this blog post with them!  But you can also share the links above to our website or Facebook page.
There is no need to register or RSVP, but you can definitely leave a comment here to let me know you're interested!  I hope you plan to share in the fun!
If you want to read the daily challenges ahead of time, they can be found in this calendar.

Black Friday Break

 


With the busy Thanksgiving weekend with family, Black Friday Shopping, Cyber Monday, and Giving Tuesday we are all probably feeling just a bit overwhelmed!  Holidays take a lot out of us and our pets!  

But I'm inviting you to give yourself a break!

Grab a comfy seat!
Snuggle with your pup!
And join me for a short Zoom Meeting for a chance to unwind!

No this is not a sales pitch!

But I do have some cool things to share with you!  You can be the first to know what I'm planning to do for Christmas and how you can join in the fun for FREE!  Let's face it, there is not much about Christmas that is free.  But I have a holiday plan for involving your pups with setting the mood and getting you into the holiday spirit!

I will show off something that I'm thankful that I have!

I will take just a brief moment to talk about the paracord hands-free leashes that I make.  But this isn't going to be a sales pitch!  I just want to show off the versatility that can be offered and how this can be customized to fit anyone's needs.  If you are lucky enough to be one of the few people who have one of my leashes already and you bring it to the Zoom meeting, I have something special in store for you! 

If you don't have one of my leashes, but have a favorite leash that you love you should bring it too!

Of course the wonderful and loveable Azul will be there!

I wish I could send you a sample of his dog hair!  I sure have enough to share.  But I can't do that.  Instead I will have a stash of his favorite treats and I will demo any of his awesome behaviors and tricks that you want to see.

Come to relax and ready for fun!

PJ's, Holiday attire, any clothing your comfortable in is acceptable!  Please just wear clothing!  😅
Bring your favorite snack or some leftover pie!
You can even bring a glass of wine if that's your preference!
This is a no frills, come hang out with me and Azul to take a break from your busy holiday weekend!
