Welcome, Dog Lovers! So, I started making custom dog collars under my brand name, Fashion-Hound.

Since 2007, we are your go-to resource on all things dog in every aspect of caring for your canine. The Canine Journal story starts with a devoted dog-lover who wanted to save all the dogs but did not have the space, time, or money to do so physically. I searched high and low but could not find anything that was both high-quality and a stylish accessory for my best friend. So, I started sewing and

created a stylish collar that captured the essence of fashion and quality I was seeking. As my dog Domino began strutting around the neighborhood, friends, family, and neighbors took notice and started placing orders. Fashion-Hound was born. The success of these high-quality products was built into the concept - customers were encouraged to place custom orders if they did not see exactly the size or color combination they desired. Our customers embraced the idea of creating unique accessories for their pets. But I quickly realized that I loved writing about the pups more than I liked sewing. So, we transitioned over time to more of a one-stop resource for all dog tips, questions, and concerns. People started writing in about their sick dogs for help from me, our online community members, and our certified vets. So now, the sewing of collars and leashes has stopped, but my desire to help dogs and their owners continues. And, through our new brand, Canine Journal, we can offer our community members a more focused website to deliver the articles they want to create a better life for our four-legged friends.

💩👀 Ever notice your dog staring at you while they p**p?

It’s one of those weird dog behaviors that makes you wonder, “Are they judging me… or just scared?”

Your dog might be looking at you because:
✨ They feel vulnerable and want reassurance
✨ They’re checking for safety before fully relaxing
✨ They’re trying to communicate something without barking
✨ And yes — sometimes it’s just plain habit

If your pup locks eyes with you in the yard or on walks mid-business, you’re not alone — and there’s actually a reason behind it.

Drop a “🐶👀” if your dog does this — then check the top comment for the full explanation and what it might be telling you about how they feel.

🐶💬 How do dogs really talk to each other?

It’s not with words — it’s with body language, sounds, and signals that we often miss. From tail wags and postures to growls, barks, and eye contact, dogs use a whole secret language to share messages with their pack.

Understanding their communication helps you:
✨ Read play vs. concern
✨ Spot stress or confusion
✨ Build better training and bonding
✨ Keep interactions safer and happier

Drop a “🐾💬” if your dog has ever “talked” to another dog — then check the top comment for the full breakdown of how dogs communicate with one another.

👃🐶 Which dogs have the best noses — and what does that even mean?

Some breeds aren’t just good sniffers… they’re scent superstars. These pups are built to track scents, search terrain, and follow trails that humans (and most dogs) would never notice.

Whether it’s for search-and-rescue, hunting, tracking treats, or just sniffing out everything on your walk, certain breeds are naturally wired with exceptional olfactory powers.

Think your dog has a super sniff? Drop a “🐾👃” — then check the top comment for the full breakdown of dogs with the most powerful sense of smell and what that means for their behavior, training, and daily life.

🥤🐶 Wondering what your dog should be drinking?

Water is the obvious answer — but what about things like broth, milk, or flavored drinks? Not everything we enjoy is safe, and even some “harmless” options can upset their tummy if you’re not careful.

This article breaks down what dogs can drink (and what to avoid) so you can keep your pup hydrated, healthy, and happy — especially on hot days or after playtime.

Drop a “💦🐾” if keeping your dog hydrated matters to you — then check the top comment for the full guide on safe and unsafe drinks for dogs.
