Understanding Puppy Potty Signals
Learning your puppy’s potty signals is the secret to faster housebreaking and fewer accidents.

Why Boarding with a DOTR Professional Is Different from Traditional Boarding Facilities
Many boarding facilities limit what pet parents can see behind the scenes, where dogs actually sleep, eat, and play.

Your dog can stay in their own home or with a carefully matched professional, enjoying familiar routines, quiet rest, and one-on-one attention. No kennels. No noise. No uncertainty. Just peace of mind and care you can truly feel good about.

Finding Grace in Grief: What Our Pets Teach Us About Love and Letting Go
When a pet passes, grief can feel unbearable. But there is beauty in the cracks, a reminder that love endures beyond loss. Inspired by Japanese wisdom and shared experiences within the Dogs On The Run community, this reflection honors the heartbreak, healing, and lasting gratitude that come with saying goodbye.
Why “Pet Prenups” Are Trending
As laws evolve across the country, more states are beginning to recognize pets as family — not property. New “pet prenup” and custody laws now require judges to consider an animal’s well-being when couples separate, shaping how families plan for their pets’ future. Pennsylvania’s HB 97 is the latest example, signaling a broader shift toward protecting our companions’ emotional and physical welfare.
For Dogs On The Run families, this change reinforces what we’ve always believed: the bond between humans and pets is sacred, deserving of compassion, respect, and thoughtful care — in every season of life.

Should You Invest in a Pet Tracking Device? What to Know Before You Decide
Pet tracking devices are becoming an essential tool for families who want extra peace of mind. From GPS collars to smart tags, these devices can help you locate your dog in an emergency, monitor activity levels, and build trust with caregivers.

The right tracker is not just technology, it is reassurance, safety, and confidence for you and your best friend.
What Is a Pet Care Concierge?
A pet care concierge is more than a booking service. It is your private liaison in the world of pet care; curating only the finest, most trusted professionals and holding them accountable to the highest standards. If a professional falls short, they are removed from the roster. Only the best remain. With personalized matches, ongoing oversight, and true accountability, a concierge saves you time while giving you the confidence that your pet is cared for as family.
Keeping Your Dog Safe on Walks: Plants & Hazards to Watch Out For
Walks are meant for dogs; time to move, explore, and enjoy the world through sniffing. While sniffing is healthy and enriching, snacking can be risky. Acorns, pine cones, mushrooms, and even certain landscaping plants may look harmless but can cause serious harm if swallowed. By encouraging sniffing but preventing nibbling, you give your dog the joy of exploration while keeping them safe.
