Dog Room Tour ｜ Phoenix and Falcon's Corner

Come here. Come here! Hey everyone, it's your friendly neighborhood dog lady here. As usual, make sure you subscribe to my channel so you never have to miss an opportunity to watch my dogs defy my authority. This week, I'm going to give you a tour of Phoenix and Falcon's dog corner. So the background on this is that the dog stuff was kind of all over the house. Uh, their treats were in the pantry, their hiking and camping stuff was just in one room and their crates were in this room. When I had to reorganize my pantry, I took it as an opportunity to also organize the dog corner. I wanted to make like a cute and cozy area for them to relax and get all their treats without actually taking up an entire bedroom. Of course, ideally I'd like them to have their own bedroom in the house, but that's not possible for everybody. Anyway, I digress. So, since this is a tour of the dog corner, I'm going to start on the dog level, which is the floor. Sit down. So here we have their crates, uh, both Phoenix and Falcon are crate trained, Phoenix a little more so than Falcon. Phoenix, go inside. Go inside. Good girls. Oh, they did it. Look at both of them. You guys are so good. For them, their crates are their safe place. This is where they nap, where they can get a break from each other, and where I give them treats. This is Phoenix's favorite place in the house, I can safely say. If we can't find her somewhere in our house, 99.999% of the time, she's here in her crate taking a nap or just chillin' like she's doing right now. So when I first brought Phoenix home, I was determined to have a dog that didn't need to be crate trained, but she actually really likes it in here. But it's really, like, whatever works for you guys. Like, for us, the crate training definitely works. If we're home, we don't leave them in here, we just leave the doors open and they're just free to roam around the house. But then when we leave the house, they come in here and they love it because I just give them stuff to chew on in here. So in between their crates, uh, we have their toy boxes. This is Phoenix's toy box, this is Falcon's toy box. And actually, because of Falcon's resource guarding issues, when we got her shoes a rescue and she would guard food and toys, we've actually trained them to only take toys out of each of their own toy boxes. Phoenix won't reach into Falcon's toy box, Falcon won't reach into Phoenix's toy box, which is kind of nice. We haven't had really an issue with it, but it did take us a year to get to this point, so we're doing good. So behind their toy boxes, I have all the things that they don't really use on a day-to-day basis. So a lot of, like, the hiking gear, um, the leash coupler, some educational toys, and generally, like, chewy treats that we don't give them every single day, we put back here so I don't have to reach back there all the time. On the next shelf, I have their towels. The dogs have their own towels and they go outside, whatever, it's just, like, towels from my old apartment with holes in them because Falcon likes to chew on them. Um, and then here, I have this box that has all of their cleaning supplies, there's all the, like, carpet cleaner, uh, extra carpet cleaner. They may sometimes have accidents in the house, and I just like to keep it here with all of their stuff because generally, if they're gonna have an accident in the house, it's in this room, because this is the only room in our house that has a carpet. For those of you guys who have dogs, you know that when a dog is going to go to the bathroom in the house, they're gonna do it on the carpet. So the next shelf has this shelf and this shelf have the most widely used items because it's actually my eye level, I don't think it is Mike's eye level, he probably has to read down for it, but, um, these are the treats they get every single day when they go in their crates, um, some small treats in these cute little containers, some bigger ones, and then some really cute books, cause I don't know, just cute dog books that I like to keep there because, I don't know, dog stuff. And then here are Phoenix's pills, she's epileptic, she has seizures, so she actually has to take a pill once in the morning, once in the evening, so it's just like really accessible and easy for me to give to her, since it's all right here, and then all their other pills, like heartworm medication, tick medication, it's all right here. And then in this compartment, I have all of their grooming supplies, but honestly, we really only use this, and their toothbrushes, you can watch a previous video that I did on Siberian Husky grooming, where I talk about that mostly. And then on this top shelf, since it's kind of above my eye level, is stuff we use a little bit less, but we still use, so any of their, like, outfits, which we never put them in anymore because I just hate wearing them, but like Halloween costumes and stuff would be in here. They have, like, a cleaning spritz from Kiehl's, which, like, Huskies don't generally get doggy B.O., but when they're exceptionally stinky, like if Phoenix rolled around in something gross, I'll spray them with this and they'll smell really nice. And then a bunch of duty bags. Then you'll notice that above each of their crates, I framed their diplomas from puppy kindergarten, where Phoenix went when she was a puppy, and basic training for Falcon, you know, so we could celebrate their achievements. And then on the wall around the corner, I put some cute dog things that I just got at Hobby Lobby. Like, here's a cute little thing. And then this is a magnetic board, so I put all their reminders and stuff up there for the vet, so Phoenix actually has to go to the vet soon. And then this is actually just a chalkboard, and I wrote their names on it. Another important thing to note right next to the dog corner, so next to Phoenix's crate, is a very beat-up, old, red leather couch that I had from my apartment. It's actually the first piece of furniture that I ever bought by myself. And it's leather, so I don't have to vacuum it when the dogs jump on it, so it's actually the only couch that they're really allowed to go on in the house. And it's right underneath the window, so they can look out the window and, you know, stalk the neighbors, which is what Falcon's favorite thing to do is. Thanks for watching, guys!
