7/8/2013 FUNCTIONAL EYE FASHION FOR FIDOWith all the sun we've been enjoying in the Northeast and around the country, consider whether Doggles are right for your dog. They are shatterproof and protect against UV rays, debris and wind. A tip from friends who have used them is to put the Doggles on for the first time outside during the day vs. indoors, so that the "dark factor" is less noticeable as your pup adjusts to the shades. I'm thinking a few of my furry friends would look very stylish in these :)

Play it for your pup a few times a day for 3 minutes, with a few breaks in between. When the sounds are popping, treat and give lots of attention. When the sounds are off, ignore. This will teach your dog that good things come with the loud noises, making him/her a bit more prepared for Thursday's festivities!
