Joy is looking pretty COOOL — becoming desensitized to wearing her new pink Rex Specs! 🐾 When introducing something new like this, it’s all about small steps and positive associations: 1. First, let your dog sniff the gear to get familiar with it. 2. Then, place it briefly on their face. 3. Finally, clip it on their head for a short moment. For now, we’re only working with the frames (no lenses) so Joy can get used to the feeling without too much change at once. Every step is paired with verbal praise, treats, and lots of positive reinforcement. 🐶 Training Takeaway You might notice your dog looking a little uncomfortable or unsure with new gear at first. That’s totally normal! What matters most is what they remember about the experience. At the end of this video, you can see how excited Joy was — and that’s intentional. The "after-training" experience is just as important as the training itself. When you wrap up with 2–5 minutes of fun, play, and “you’re the coolest dog ever” energy, your dog walks away remembering: ✨ “Training with my person is FUN!” ✨ That memory makes them more eager and excited to try again next time. It also helps them shake off any hesitation, bond closer with you, and look forward to learning. Key tip: Always finish on a positive note. Even if the session is calm or a little challenging, end with fun so your dog leaves happy, confident, and ready for the next round!!

Did you know teaching your dog to stay cool with hats, sunglasses, or even goggles isn’t just for smiles? 😎🐶 It helps your dog become more calm and chill in everyday life AND sets them up for success in bigger ways: ✨ Prepares dogs for wearing an Elizabethan collar after the vet ✨ Builds confidence in new situations ✨ Gets service dogs ready for wearing vests and equipment ✨ Prepares them for do-ggles or ear protection when needed ✨ Turns training into FUN instead of stress! So grab some hats, shades, or even safety gear, keep it positive, and help your cool dog feel comfortable no matter what they wear. 🐕💪 *GLASSES IN THE COMMENTS 👇

The first time Mingo ‘sang’ we thought it was just a fluke but every time this song played, he would ‘sing’. He only sings this song and I’m not sure if it is because he loves it or hates it. So here is Super Freaky Mingo singing along with Nicki Minaj - It is not the best song 😬 - This song samples a song from the 80s and if I play Super Freak, he does ‘sing’ during the chorus which I think means he is brilliant😂
