Before we get to this week’s edition of the Pet Blogger Showcase, I want to let you all know that the NEXT Linky Party will be the first Saturday in June. It seems three or your four hosts will be at Blog Paws for the next party, and in order to keep our sanity, we’ve decided to take that weekend off. 🙂
I also might add, I’m looking forward to meeting them!
Are any of you attending? If so, be sure to look me up. I’ll be the loud red-head with the wine glass in my hand. 😉
Now, on to this week’s showcase…

Relax! (Or How I Trained My Dogs To Rest On a Mat) by Beth at Travels with Barley – Is your dog mat, trained? Sampson definitely is, and Delilah is, but only when she wants to be. 🙂 In our house, we use the term, “place” and I’ve heard some people refer to it as “spot”, but whatever you choose, having your dog trained to go a certain spot, can come in right handy. In this post, Beth explains exactly how she taught both Barley and Rye to use their mat. As you can see from the photo, they don’t seem to mind it at all.

A Dog’s Nose Never Forgets by Jan at Wag ‘N Woof Pets – Have you tried Nosework with your dog? Sometimes the weather just doesn’t cooperate for outdoor exercise. We all know, a tired dog is a good dog, but did you know that mental stimulation can tire a dog out just like physical exercise can? Jan has graduated her dogs to Birch smells, but you can play this game with food too. Check out Jan’s post and see how much Cricket and Luke enjoy this game.

Thank you so much for including our post! Our nose works has been coming in handy lately, as it seems like it’s never going to stop raining!
Barley and Rye are just the cutest, I love them, and isn’t that cat beautiful! I hope Leo has found a home by now.
I can’t wait to meet you, Jodi!
Me either Katherine!! It’s getting closer!
I so wanted to attend but sadly, it’s just not in the cards (or checkbook) this year. Hopefully next year! Loved this weeks highlighted posts. That mat training is something I need to do with Sam who still attacks the glass door like a ferocious ogre whenever the mail (wo)man drops mail into the slot. Despite knowing her for years! And despite the fact that as soon as I open the door, he’s like…”oh, it’s Cory, my favorite mail(wo)man….who I adore.” Stupid dog. Happy weekend.😆
Barley and Rye love their mat, but they still do that with our mail carrier, too! Then they see her while we’re out on a walk and practically drag me down the road to catch up to her–Bar even tried to climb in the mail truck the other day! Let me know if Sam gets over his ogre-ish tendencies so I know if I should have hope for my girls 😉
Thanks for highlighting our mat work! Hope you have a wonderful trip to BlogPaws–wish we could actually meet you in person, too!
