Balanced, open Ear Chakras allow your dog to pick up on sounds in all the ranges their acute hearing. They can hear a higher range of sounds than we do (think dog whistle). Open, clear Ear Chakras enable dogs to hear this full range.

The Crown Chakra is your dog's seat of wisdom, the center of being totally at ease with their life and how they fit in.

Your dog's third eye chakra is the one that makes for a dog who is easy to live with. The dog you can count on to greet the new dog at the dog park with dignity and grace.  This dog is a pleasure to know and to share your life with.

Just like some people seem to never ever be quiet, some dogs are more vocal than others. But there is a big difference in the dog who may be quick to bark when someone turns the doorknob and the dog who barks ALL. THE. TIME. A balanced throat chakra is the hallmark of the dog who barks as needed.

An open, balanced, aligned Heart Chakra will allow your dog to be loving and friendly, a pleasure to live with. This is the essence of a "Good Dog."

• Color: Yellow
• Crystal: Citrine, yellow topaz, yellow amber or clear quartz.
• Energy: Appropriate dynamic within a pack or group of dogs

An open, healthy Solar Plexus Chakra enables your dog to feel in control and confident. This dog saunters into the dog park with an  air of "I AM ALL THAT."

The Sacral Chakra is the center of emotions for your dog. This is where their happiness and ability to blend well with their family lies. Dogs with open, balanced sacral chakras are the ones who are adopted first at the shelters. They seem to beam a confident, loving vibe.

If the Root Chakra is balanced, open and in sync, your dog should feel safe, secure and grounded. This dog usually gets along well with everyone, human or canine, and is a pleasure to meet.

When our dogs chakra system is balanced they are content, confident dogs, in harmony with their surroundings and their people.

One of the things The Blissful Dog is known for is the plethora of dog breed labels on our products. While some may consider it TOO MUCH, we love them each and every one!

Ever since people have shared their lives with dogs, we have been trying to get and keep nasty biting, stinging, disease-carrying bugs away from them and us.

It is said that during the Medieval plagues dogs and cats were both used to attract fleas off of the people and onto them. Seems a bit harsh to me, but if it was get the plague or use my dog as a flea magnet...

Have you ever wondered just how many actual dog breeds are recognized by the different registries. First a quick definition of what a dog registry actually does.

From Good Old Wikipedia...(I condensed) A breed registry is an official list of animals within a specific dog breed whose parents are known. Animals are usually registered by their breeders when they are still young. Such registries usually issue certificates for each recorded animal, called a pedigree, pedigreed animal documentation, or most commonly, an animal's "papers".

From Affenpinscher to Zweigenpinscher...we offer over 100 different dog breed labels for NOSE BUTTER®. Yes, NOSE BUTTER® is the same recipe for all 100+ dog breeds, mixed and our generic labels. Yes, I know my life as an entrepreneur would be much easier with one label of a shiny nose....but I could not do that! You see, I am a DOG GEEK. 

Dude, he means no disrespect. 

It’s a basic tenet of the Dudeist ethos to just say “$#%^ it.” Your Dudeist dog is probably too much in the zone to be bothered by something as chill-busting as going all the way outside to poop. As long as he doesn't poop on the carpet that ties the room together, it's all good.

My sister Patty Dannel Taylor visited from back home in Mississippi in November to help us pack and move. In the midst of setting The Blissful Dog's new offices up she opened a container on my desk and asked, "What's in here? Potpourri?" and spilled it all over the place. "Uh, no, it's Money's ashes."

For over 25 years I have shared my life with French Bulldogs. Yep, way before they were popular and the ubiquitous, go-to darling of media, I have had snorting, snoring little fat Frenchies. While they have many wonderful, endearing traits, there is one aspect of life with Frenchies that is not so much fun. They can be hard to house train.
