The holidays can be chaotic for us and stressful for our dogs. But what if this year, you turned the countdown to Christmas into the best bonding time of the year?

The Dog Advent Calendar Adventure is your ticket to a month of meaningful connection, enrichment, and FUN with your dog. From confidence-building games to cozy cuddle moments, this isn’t just an advent calendar… It’s a holiday experience.

SORRY WE MISSED YOU...

Doors are now closed. There is always next year!
