Service Dogs have FUN too!
Our friend over in the Cool Dog School group reminded us today how important it is for our Assistance Dogs to take breaks!! 🙌🐾
Service dogs are incredibly helpful and unbelievably beneficial. We are so lucky to have these loyal, loving, amazing beings who walk through life with us and help with tasks that make daily living easier. But as incredible as they are… they’re still dogs!!
And that’s honestly one of the things we love MOST about them. They’re silly. They’re wiggly. They’re happy-go-lucky. They roll in the grass, they flop on their backs, they make ridiculous noises, and they make us laugh every single day. That’s the magic of dogs. 💛
So it’s super important that our working dogs get breaks — throughout the day, throughout the week, and yes, even throughout the year. Dogs deserve vacations too! They need decompression time, time to run, zoomies, sniffing, play, cuddles, massages… all the things that let them reset and be here now. They work SO hard for us, so giving them space to have fun is part of keeping them balanced and happy.
So with that being said —
What is YOUR dog’s favorite way to decompress?
What’s their favorite silly thing that always makes you smile?
And if you don’t have a dog yet but you’re planning on getting one, what do you think will make you laugh the most? What are some ways you plan to give your future dog breaks and let them just be a dog?!
Can’t wait to read your answers! 🐶💛
