Here is a great idea, thanks to my Twitter friend, Johann the Dog (dressed as a prisoner for last year’s Halloween party!) for a party that won’t put you in the doghouse!  Johannthedog.com has just the right ingredients to throw a great doggie party at Halloween (or anytime of the year!).  From lots of costumes and games, to treats, toys, presents, and goodie bags – you can have a fun and safe pup party.

There are many places you can hold your doggie party. From your own backyard, to local parks, area dog parks, doggie day camps, and dog sports and obedience training centers. Check online or with your local parks department to find the PERFECT place for your party.

What’s a party without games?  Here are some fun things you can do to make sure all of your four- and two-legged friends have a great time:

Hot Dog Dunk – For each dog, take a hot dog (preferably all natural) and cut into 10 slices. Throw them in a kiddie pool and see how long it takes the dog to eat them. Fastest dog wins!

Water Relay – At the start line (with dog on leash) the dog parent fills a small cup, races with the dog to the finish line to fill a larger cup. Continue until the big cup is full.

Dog Painting -  Mix together corn starch, flour, water and food coloring (safe for dogs) to desired consistency and color. Put paint on dog’s paws with a sponge, put them on paper and let them go at it!

Snoopy Says – Guests form a line with their dog and play a variation of the game Simon Says with their dogs. You give commands like sit, Simon says sit, Simon says down your dog, etc. — last dog ‘standing’ wins!

You can find all of the stuff you need to have a great doggie party (at Halloween or anytime of the year) at JohannTheDog.com.  They have put together in one place, all the cool stuff you need for your dog!  You’ll find Halloween costumes, dog beds, all natural foods and treats, collars, leashes, charms, toys and more!

And the best part is that JohannTheDog.com donates 10% of their profits to dog rescues and shelters!
