Stage a Dog Birthday Show!  Once all the guests have arrived, organize a dog parade. Act as emcee, announcing each one’s name and pedigree. Encourage dogs to demonstrate their favorite tricks.

Obedience School  Dogs are given commands from the Obedience School Master, such as “roll over,” “play dead,” “sit,” “lay down,” “lick your right paw,” etc.  The last dog left, wins.

Agility exercises are an especially fun idea. Rent or buy agility equipment like a tunnel for the dogs to race through.  Or simply lay a couple of planks down on the ground and encourage the dogs to jump over them.  Watching Jacques, the Frenchie ignore the planks will be almost as much fun as watching Daphne, the rat terrier jump over.  Make sure to have plenty of treats like Salt Water Licks Chicken or Beef Jerky to offer them when they run through successfully.  Bobbing for Biscuits. Fill a small tub or child’s pool with water, throw some biscuits in, he who gets them out fastest wins!

Sniff-n-Find: Let the dogs hunt for hidden doggie treats around the garden.

Musical Pillows is a fun game for dogs and their humans. Play music as the dogs walk around in a circle on a leash.  When the music stops, the human tells his dog to sit on a pillow.  Last dog standing is out.

Free For All Fetch!  Have several balls available (so that there is at least one ball per doggie guest). Play this game with Frisbees or balls.  Dog who returns the most balls or frisbees wins.

Do the Limbo !  Get a stick and play limbo.  Have two people hold the stick and gradually lower it as the puppies try to creep under it to get to their owners.

Best Barks Contest  Enlist a non dog owner to be the judge. (If possible, record the event on video—it’ll be fun to watch later.) Give each dog a chance to demonstrate his or her best bark. When every dog has had a turn, award prizes for the loudest, saddest, squeakiest, funniest, etc., so everyone wins.

Jacques has Great Pawty Ideas for Your Pup!

Pumpkin loves to paddle board

Puppies love to romp,

Cats are Clever, conceited, & Always in Charge

Birds epitomize whimsy:

There is no such thing as A Bad pet,

And many different kinds of good companions.

Jacques TFB and his Dog Beach Dog Bone

Jacques doesn’t like to swim, probably because his head weighs more than the rest of his body, but he loves Dog Beach! So we had to let him be the first to try our terrific new Dog Beach Bones! Huge, tasty, wheat free and bursting with peanut butter flavor! Jacques was in doggie heaven!
Salt Water Licks means “Ocean Kisses” in doggie language, and we are located just 2 miles north of Dog Beach, so we are extra excited to be supporting Huntington Dog Beach! We are going to donate $1.00 from the sale of each Dog Beach bone to Dog Beach. How doggie delightful!

We can’t wait for you to try our wonderful Puppy Pastries!  No Salt, No Sugar, No Preservatives, Low Fat….Naturally.  And the best thing is that Dogs (ALL DOGS!) Love our treats!  They pant, beg, howl and even run away from home for Salt Water Licks puppy pastries!  The other day, Jacques and I were sitting at the store, doing a little work, when we looked up and saw Daphne wander in.  But Daphne’s mom wasn’t with her.  Turns out, Daphne had escaped for a little nosh and some friend time with Jacques!
