Kumfy Tailz: Keeping Huskies Cool in Summer

This past weekend's Amazing Pet Expo in Houston was alive with excitement. Our Event Barkers partner, DogTipper.com, was on hand to share in the fun. One of Paris' feel-good tasks was the sharing of a batch of Kumfy Tailz warming and cooling harnesses with three very lucky shelters: Miniature Schnauzer Rescue of Houston, Corridor Rescue, and Husky Haven.

Being a Florida girl, I'm particularly thrilled that a Husky group got some of these therapeutic harnesses to aid in keeping them cool during hot Houston Summers. I'm feeling pretty good about these pups during the upcoming heat.

You can check out Kumfy Tailz' solution for your own dog's need for cooling or warming at their website, on Facebook and via Twitter. Be sure to tell them that All Things Dog Blog sent you.

Happy tails,

FREE While Supplies Last

Our Super Dog Sunday™ Over time show is just about to wrap up. Our Cheer Team has been busily sharing reviews and giveaways of Kumfy Tailz, while we have been planning this big finish for the end of the promotion. On behalf of Kumfy Tailz, Event Barkers will be handing off a nice donation to a Petfinder shelter following the expo detailed below.

But first, let's be sure to thank all of our Cheer Team bloggers and social media pet peeps for their support. Without it, we could not have continued to offer our Petfinder shelters so much in extra benefits. Many thanks to this great group of rescue lovers who helped us carry on the overtime event. We'll be back soon to name them all individually in one final show of gratitude. They deserve it!

For this last Super Dog Sunday™ event we'll be offering our readers a FREE Kumfy Tailz warming and cooling harness--while supplies last--if you attend the San Antonio or Houston Amazing Pet Expos. A limited supply will be taken to each event, so drop by early to assure your chance at getting a harness for your pup. Just identify yourself as a reader of either All Things Dog Blog or DogTipper to qualify, while supplies last. 

Got friends in Texas? Forward this email to them by simply clicking on the cute little envelope icon at the bottom of the post. They are certain to thank you after they enjoy this terrific, Free event. And maybe they'll get lucky and take home a Kumfy Tailz cooling and warming harness as well. 

The expos are open 10 AM - 6 PM and are free of charge. To locate the giveaway simply

Jacque, Ready to Walk in Sync

Jacque Doesn't Pull Now :)

Say hello to Jacque. He's my mother's rescued Papillon. Gorgeous, isn't he? Well, he is beautiful when he's behaving, but there was a time when he could drag my poor mom down the road like a bulldozer. Yikes!

Recently when I met Alecia Evans I learned about a method that helps with pulling. There are so many training methods and tools out there that are harmful, especially to smaller dogs like Jacque that have a delicate trachea and neck. I was so glad to learn that traditional harnesses are not the only alternative.

I Think He Had Fun

Over the years, various trainers have recommended tools such as choke collars, prong collars, head harnesses (like the Haltie), and others. Funny thing is that most of these tools could be safe if handled properly as a trainer instructs. However, that's generally not how it plays out.  Most of us pick up a tool that is recommended and never really get proper instruction in using the product safely and effectively. There's a better way, a safer and more bonding way, a way that both you and your dog will find enjoyable.

Join me on September 27 when I'll be talking more about your options and why it's important to avoid some of the tools mentioned above. Tanner is honored to be one of the Train Humane Day Ambassadors, so he'll be here on the 27th. We'll be demonstrating how the front-clip harness affects a dog's insistence on pulling. It is truly amazing. See you on the 27th? 

Mark your calendar. It's a date you won't want to miss. Be there for your pulling dog. let's make sure the bonding walk plays out the way it should.
