Congratulations on the newest (and greatest) addition to your family! When you get a new furry friend, it’s only natural to want to spend all day cuddling and hanging out with them. Unfortunately, there are quite a few things you need to do as a new dog mom or dad to ensure that your pup stays healthy and well behaved. Not sure how to begin the training? Check out a few tips and tricks put together by our experts to help you become a potty training pro in no time:

Maintain a regular feeding schedule

While your new puppy is on the path to becoming a full-grown adult, young pups must eat more often than their adult counterparts. It’s highly important new dogs chow down at least three times a day. Sound like a lot of work? Don’t worry, the good news is that you can plan your pup’s meal times during your own!

Establish “Potty Time”

No owners biggest fan, but one of the most important to your house training rules. Your pup should be having “potty time” at least every 2-4 hours. If you decide to wait longer, your poor pup won’t be able to hold it. Setting a designated time and place for “potty time” will teach your pup that this isn’t something they can do whenever and wherever they want!

Exercise and Play

Ideally, you’re going to want to begin the day with some exercise prior to your pup’s first meal. After breakfast, try a walk around the block followed by play time. Be sure to repeat this routine throughout the day: exercise, meal, exercise, bonding time, and so on.

Reward a Job Well Done

Treats and a walk around the park will show your pup that they’re appreciated and loved. After all, training your fur friend isn’t the easiest of tasks and getting them accustomed to a new home can be quite the challenge. By creating a routine eating schedule, establishing potty habits and maintaining good quality health with exercise and play, your pup will grow up to be the best they can be!

While you’re busy being a top new trainer, let Scoop Soldiers handle the dirty work! If you live in Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, or the Phoenix Metro area, contact us today to schedule your first poop scooping! As the top-rated pet waste removal company in the southwest, we’ll make sure your yard is clear of any waste so you and your pup have all the space to train, play and make memories!

While it may be time to say goodbye to another summer, there’s still plenty of time left to explore outside with your furry friends. Here in Dallas, we’re privileged to have sunny and cool temperatures through most of the fall and early winter season. So what better way to spend the day outside than at a dog park? From your traditional dog parks, to a more scenic or social option, we compiled a list of five “paw-fect” dog parks to visit in Dallas!

1. White Rock Lake Dog Park

White Rock Lake Dog Park is the ideal Dallas destination for four-legged friends and families. The park is separated into three play areas, with a double-gated fence around the entire park for extra safety. One play area is for big dogs, one is for little dogs and, to cool off, one play area features waterfront lake access and a fenced-in swimming zone. The park is closed each Monday for maintenance.

2. NorthBark Park

With more than 22 acres for off-leash play in North Dallas, NorthBark Park has plenty of room to let your pup run free. There are trails for exploring and an expansive lawn area. Water attractions include a “doggy beach,” a “doggy lake” and a “doggy pond.” Sounds fun for a hot fall day, right? Best of all, there are doggy showers to clean up after your adventures. NorthBark Park is closed on Tuesdays and on rainy days.

3. Mutts Canine Cantina

Not your usual dog park, Mutts Canine Cantina is truly a treat for dogs and their owners. Located in Uptown Dallas, Mutts has a dog park, a bar and a restaurant. The dog park is separated into two areas for small and large dogs. While your dog is busy running around with other furry friends, you can enjoy a nice cold beer, a milkshake or a burger on the patio. Mutts even offers dog “pawty” services, a party hosted for your pooch’s birthday or special occasion.

4. My Best Friend’s Park

Located in Klyde Warren Park in Downtown Dallas, My Best Friend’s Park is a great space for furry friends who want to explore the city. Dogs can be off-leash, to play with others or jump through the many water fountains. You’re also able to hang with your dog in the open spaces of Klyde Warren Park, sit at a park bench and grab something from the food trucks, but pups must remain on a leash when not in My Best Friend’s Park area.

5. Wagging Tail Dog Park

Wagging Tail Dog Park is a 6.9 acre off-leash park with an amazing observation deck that offers views of White Rock Creek and a waterfall. Fencing throughout the park marks play areas in and out of the sun, and for both big and small dogs. Also, there is a walking trail throughout the property. It’s closed on rainy days and on Mondays for maintenance.

What are your favorite Dallas dog parks? While we may not be able to join you on your adventure to the park, we love to visit your pups in their own backyard! Schedule a free poop scooping service at www.pooptroops.com and allow us to rid your yard of pet waste!

Pit Bulls have been given a bad reputation over time, being deemed as aggressive and dangerous animals. However, if you look at their breeding history, you’ll find they’re designed to be the exact opposite. In honor of Pit Bull Awareness Month and Pit Bull Awareness Day on October 28th, we’re shedding some light on the history of the breed.

History

Pit Bulls are not one specific breed, but rather a category of breeds, including the likes of American Pit Bull Terriers, Staffordshire Terriers and American Bullies. Originally, they were created by breeding bulldogs and terriers together in an effort to combine the agility of a terrier with the strength of a bulldog. This breed gained popularity in the 1800s through a sport called “bull baiting,” a bloody, ruthless exercise which consisted of tying a bull to a stake, giving him 30 feet to move, and releasing dogs in an attempt to injure the bull. After bull baiting became illegal in 1835, the public popularized dogfighting, as it was easier to hide from law enforcement.

Over the years, many families brought home beloved Pit Bulls to protect the family and help with farm jobs. Interestingly enough, while these dogs were bred for strength and agility, they were also bred to be extremely gentle with humans. Famous dogs, including , helped create a favorable national opinion of the breed. Bud was the sidekick to Horatio Nelson Jackson and participated in the first cross-country road trip in 1903. To this day, Bud’s goggles are on display at the Smithsonian American History Museum. By the turn of the 20th century, Pit Bulls were known as “America’s Dog.” So where did it all go wrong?

By the time the 1980s came around, dogfighting rose in popularity in the United States. Additionally, Pit Bulls who participated in dogfighting were more often than not victims of pet abuse. Seeing these dogs in spiked collars on street corners caused fear in most people, with nationally known magazines, such as Time, covering stories of Pit Bulls baring their teeth and unfavorable, breed-related statistics.

Pit Bulls Today

Thankfully, in recent years, people have joined the fight for Pit Bull safety and rights. High profile cases of those who abuse their pets and partake in dogfighting, including football player Michael Vick, created national awareness of these awful occurrences. Not only during Pit Bull Awareness Month, but every day, we must remember that these dogs were not bred or born to kill, are not monsters, and have the same capacity to love as any other breed. Give them a chance, and they can show you what loving, goofy, and intelligent creatures they really are!

Here at Scoop Soldiers, we love furry clients of all breeds and sizes, including beloved Pit Bulls. If you’re in Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Houston, Oklahoma City, Phoenix, San Antonio or Tulsa, contact us at (877) 930-POOP. Allow us to remove the dog waste so you can enjoy your pet and clean yard!

Brotherly love takes on a new meaning when it comes to Scoop Soldiers. Meet Jared Cahill – Operations Manager and brother to Scoop Soldiers President, Josh Cahill. Originally a recruiter in the oil and gas industry, Jared never entertained the idea of teaming up with brother Josh until an opportunity arose in 2015. Read on to get the scoop about Jared, in and out of the field, and learn more about his role within the Scoop Soldiers squad!

1. What is your role at Scoop Soldiers? I was brought on as the Sales Director, but have transitioned to more of a Customer Service/Operations/Process Improvement role in the last year and a half. I manage the office staff and operations for the markets outside of DFW and still have a major focus towards new sales.
2. What is your favorite part about working for Scoop Soldiers? My favorite part of working for Scoop Soldiers is providing a service that helps create a clean and safe environment for our clients, dogs and families. I love when I get to see our Dog clients as well!
3. List 3 words that describe Scoop Soldiers. Consistent, hardworking and trustworthy.
4. What have you gained from working at Scoop Soldiers? I’ve had the opportunity to give resources and time to charities and other dog-focused groups like rescues, adoption centers, and the K-9 unit of the Austin Police Department. This is a part of my life that I have wanted to focus on and plan on continuing to give resources to deserving causes.
5. What do you find the most challenging at Scoop Soldiers? Before Scoop Soldiers, I did recruiting mainly in oil and gas, but also for executive leadership, medical professionals, etc. With the tremendous growth and expansion we’ve experience at Scoop Soldiers, I’m able to put my recruiting skills to good use as we’ve quadrupled our employee count in two short years.

As the “Sales Director,” most people don’t picture me out in the field scooping, but I do get out there whenever needed to ensure we meet the needs of all of our clients. I’ve seen it all in each of our markets from Oklahoma to Texas to Arizona.
9. Did you ever think that you’d be working in a company alongside your brother, Josh? No, I never thought I would even work with Josh and it really never was discussed until 2015. I believed in the growth and opportunity of this industry and in the vision for Scoop Soldiers.
10. If you could only drink one beer for the rest of your life, what would it be? I am not really a beer drinker, but if I had to pick one it would be Dos Equis. Stay Thirsty My Friend.

Throughout time, many dogs have risen to fame, through movies, social media, commercials or the Internet in general. While every dog is special in our book, we’ve picked a few of our favorites to share with you below! Learn more about these famous dogs who stole our hearts.

Tuna the Chiweenie

The first pup on our list is Tuna the Chiweenie. A mix between a Chihuahua and a Dachshund, Tuna was rescued in 2010 at a Farmers Market in Los Angeles as a four-month-old puppy. A year after Tuna’s adoption, his owner, Courtney, created the Instagram account @tunameltsmyheart. His exaggerated overbite and recessed jawline quickly caught the attention of Instagram users, skyrocketing him into doggy fame, collecting near 2 million followers to date.

Marnie the Dog

Marnie, a 16-year-old Shih Tzu who was adopted from a shelter at age 11, is definitely one of the most well-known Instagram pups. With over 2.1 million followers, Marnie is recognized for her tongue that is almost always hanging outside of her mouth, as well as her permanent head tilt due to a medical condition. She is known for her charming Instagram videos and is frequently photographed with adoring celebrities, including Ed Sheeran and Jimmy Kimmel.

Toto

How could we not put Toto on this list? Known for her adorable role in The Wizard of Oz, Toto, whose real name was Terry, was a Cairn Terrier born in the midst of the Great Depression. Her salary of $125 a week was frequently more than that of her fellow human co-stars of the time! Sadly, Terry died at the age of 11 in Hollywood, but there is a permanent memorial in her honor located at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.

Boo the Pomeranian

Boo was one of the first dogs to make it big on the Internet. With his Facebook page garnering 17 million likes, Boo has been featured on red carpets and has even been called “the cutest dog in the world!” His iconic, fluffy haircut is hard to miss, and he can frequently be seen getting into mischief on his Facebook page. He has even had several books written about him – we’d say that’s one successful pup!

Cleaning up after your dog is far from glamorous, but someone has to do it! Did you know that the majority of neighborhood pet problems stem from improper handling of pet waste? Consistent clean-up is necessary to keep you, your family and your community happy and healthy. Below we’ve highlighted some of the core dangers of leaving your dog’s droppings unattended.

Disease Prevention & Control

Contrary to popular belief, dog feces are not a lawn fertilizer and do not offer any benefit to your yard. In fact, your pet’s feces may contain multiple viruses and parasites, including hookworms, tapeworms, and campylobacteriosis, all of which are transferable to humans. Young children can particularly be at risk, as they enjoy playing in dirt where parasites often reside.

No One Likes a Poopy Yard

Make your yard more useable by picking up after your dog every 1-7 days, depending on the size and number of dogs in the household. If you’re afraid of using your yard for fear of stepping in some unexpected surprises, you will end up wasting one of the greatest assets of your home. Take advantage of your property by keeping it useable and mess-free.

Keep Your Water Clean

Dog feces have been ranked as high as third place on the list of contributors to contaminated water. Studies from the Environmental Protection Agency have shown two or three days’ worth of feces from a sample size of 100 dogs has the potential to cause enough bacteria to temporarily shut down large bodies of water within 20 miles. Don’t ruin a fun day at the lake for your community, be sure to pick up after your pup!

If the thought of picking up pet droppings is simply unbearable, let Scoop Soldiers do the dirty work for you. If you live in Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Tulsa, Oklahoma City or the Phoenix Metro area, contact us today to schedule your first poop scooping! As the top-rated pet waste removal company in the southwest, we’ll make sure your yard is clear of landmines so you, your kids and your dog all have a clean space to run and play.
