Pause Dog Boutique believes strongly in giving to the community in a variety of ways.
From time to time, we'll post information here on ways you can help us in these endeavors.

Here's what's happening right now:

Collar & Leash Collection

Have an old collar or leash you are no longer using? Tired of looking at? Bring it in and we'll donate it to a dog in need!
All donations will benefit the Rondout Valley Animals for Adoption shelter in Accord, NY.

Pause for a Cause

We've intentionally chosen several product lines because a portion of the proceeds is donated to rescue organizations.
Come into the shop and ask us how you can shop for a good cause - at no extra cost to you!

DOGMA is a community for dogs and their dog people. We are forming a group of fun, dog-loving people to go for hikes, share resources, continue on our quest for the latest and greatest training techniques and more. If you would like to join us, please contact Polly Kaplan at pauseshop@yahoo.com. Anyone from Rhinebeck or the surrounding area can join. The group will be based out of Pause Dog Boutique.

Have an idea or a cause you'd like us to support? Is there a dog-related initiative going on in the community that you'd like us to support? Let us know! We're always looking for ways to help. We have a bulletin board located in the shop and we're happy to post information there and hang out flyers too. Plus, we might even be able to post the information on this website too.

Crate training is a wonderful way to help potty train your pet. It gives them comfort and keeps them safe and secure.  When using treats in training, it is good to have two different types; one that is used to coax and reward them when they do good, and the other for simply a treat.  I use small training bites for the first, and puppy biscuits for the second. - Lotus
