The Northwest Dog

CELEBRATING LIFE WITH DOG IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST

We are a community of passionate dog lovers who enjoy exploring the PNW and believe that life’s adventures are best shared with our canine companions. We believe in fresh air, climbing mountains and chasing dreams. We believe in connecting around a campfire and forging friendships.

We also believe in supporting local makers and giving back to our community. We handcraft artisan goods for wild-hearted dogs + their people, from handwoven textile bandanas and leash pouches to paw balm, mutt wash, grooming mist + more. We source organic, fair-trade and local materials, support fellow artisan communities and donate a portion of all profits to renewing hiking trails and planting trees right here in Oregon. And we donate to support local dog rescues, to boot.

Join our community pack hikes, shop our store, and support our mission to spread kindness and connection, and to share our common bond with the dogs we love. If you’re here, you’re family.

Gam is a beautiful forest bear! 🐻😍

I love when I see posts normalizing muzzles. So many people seem to recoil when they see a muzzled dog on a trail, because this helpful tool is often misunderstood. So, I’d love to take this opportunity to talk more about it.

Dr. Valli of @synergybehaviorsolutions here in Portland, OR shares the following (pulled from an article on their website):

“Muzzles are some of the most misunderstood, but most important, tools in dog training. It is a way to keep your dog and others around her safe while providing opportunities for training. A muzzled dog is not a bad dog, and may not even be a dog that bites. However, it is a dog whose people are being proactive and safe.

Why Use a Dog Muzzle? 👇🏼

Dog muzzles are useful for many different reasons, including:

• Situations that you just want to be extra-safe. For example, someone who has a very friendly dog who has not been around many children, may choose to use a dog muzzle just to be safe when introducing the dog to a new child. That way, they can focus on maximizing their dog’s comfort without worrying about an accident

• Increasing safety during a training or social situation for a dog that has a history of being aggressive or reactive.

• Muzzles can help prevent people from approaching a dog that needs space. Many of our clients with very cute but shy dogs are thrilled that they don’t need to keep telling people to give their dogs room to feel comfortable. The muzzle does that for them.

• Using muzzles in emergency situations, such as when the dog has had an accident or injury. Many dogs will bite when in pain and scared, when they wouldn’t bite otherwise.”

Yesterday was the National Day of Awareness for Mi

Yesterday was the National Day of Awareness for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls. And so many of the posts, stories and highlight reels centering this issue have been deleted by this platform.

Indigenous communities continue to fight censorship and erasure. As Jordan of @nativein_la says in this video, this online erasure is the new technology-based form of genocide.

Please, please go follow Jordan @nativein_la then watch this video (as it could be deleted soon too). Share it far and wide. Amplify the voices of indigenous women. Learn about these issues and do your part to stand up.

We will not be silenced. The more they try, the louder we’ll get.

To our Indigenous communities... we love you, we see you, and we stand with you.
