This guy wanted to see if he could teach his dog to play Minecraft… and he did!
He modifies the keyboard to make it easy for his pup to kit the right buttons. Then, he trains him on which commands mean what.
By the end of the training session he’s pretty pleased with the results.
“Holy crap, Max! You’re a legend!”

But not for this pup. She’s a balancing master. She carefully pulls out blocks, trying her best to keep the Jenga pile in place.

You want someone who will respect your dog and show him a good day. Although that can help narrow down the list, how do you choose between the remaining contenders?
Depending on your needs or preferences, there’s some other traits you should look for in a doggy daycare. Taking these things into consideration before you choose ensures that you pick the right one the first time.
In this post, we’re outlining 7 things to think about before choosing a doggy daycare.
Although it may not be an essential service for you, it can be a lifesaver for busy pup parents. When you’re rushing out the door in the morning, you may not have time to drive your dog to daycare (especially if you have children to drive to school or daycare). Or, the best daycare for your needs may be located further away—making you choose between adding an extra 20 minutes to your morning or picking the lesser option. Some daycares offer “dog taxis” that deliver your dog to the facility and back.
It goes without saying that you’ll save a lot of time if your daycare also does your dog grooming. You don’t need to make unnecessary trips and wait around for it to be done. But, even better, your dog will likely be more comfortable getting pampered in a familiar place. This is a great idea for dogs with anxiety.
A doggy daycare shouldn’t just “house” your dog—that’s what a “kennel” is for. Doggy daycares are meant to show your dog some fun during their stay. Look at which options are available. For example, do they have indoor or fenced-in outdoor exercise facilities? How do they schedule in playtime with humans and other dogs? What kind of games do they play?
You should feel comfortable leaving your dog at the daycare for extended periods of time. That means the dog daycare should be taking proper precautions. For example, if they have outdoor time, is it properly fenced in? If your dog is small, are there any overlooked spaces he can crawl under or over to escape? How do they introduce your dogs to other canines there? What’s their process with dogs don’t get along? It’s also worth asking if the daycare is CCTV monitored.
If you’re looking for daycare for a puppy, you must ask about what they do to socialize dogs. Although this is a good question to ask in any case, puppies need to be socialized early so they can carry those friendly skills into their adult life. If you’re dropping off your puppy every day and she’s not getting much socializing outside of the facility, you must make sure the daycare is doing enough.
If your dog has a specific concern, you should ask daycares how they’ll deal with it in advance. For example, if you have a shy and anxious dog, a daycare can really bring them out of their shell. However, if those problems are ignored, caretakers can make it worse. Before committing to a facility, ask how they’ll help your pup overcome those issues.
Different daycares have different ways of updating you about your dog. For example, some have “doggy report cards” that tell you how she’s behaving and progressing. To take it a step further, others have private Facebook groups that upload pictures of the dogs daily. That can be a great way to feel connected to your dog, ease your own anxieties and have evidence of the fun activities she’s doing.
That’s because he’ll steal it and use it against you.

So you fumble around your cabinet and spot the Cheerios.
When you’re asking if dogs can eat cheerios, are you asking if they will harm your dog or if they’re healthy? The answer will depend on what you’re looking for.
Most dogs can eat plain, oat-based cheerios without any side effects. In general, they will not harm a dog. Unlike foods such as chocolate and grapes, they are not toxic.
Many dogs like the crunch of cheerios like humans like the crunch of potato chips. Remember, we’re talking about the Cheerios themselves, not a bowl full of milk.
Although Cheerios aren’t toxic for dogs, they don’t provide much nutritional value either. In other words, they are empty calories. With that being said, they can make an okay treat once in a while in a small portion. Just don’t feed him a full bowl of cheerios every morning for breakfast (obviously).
One of the positives is that plain cheerios are low in sugar. Still, too much could elevate his sugar levels, which could cause diabetes and other problems. They’re also made with mostly whole grain oats and although that sounds healthy, it doesn’t provide anything necessary to your dog’s diet.
Most Cheerio brands contain corn, which is also a common allergen to dogs. Allergic reactions may not be a huge change, so you should also look for itchy paws/skin and stomach irritations.
Cheerios tout their cardiovascular benefits and their ability to control cholesterol, as stated by American Heart Association. However, the benefit is not the same for dogs given that their bodies are different.
Dogs need nutrients that aren’t provided by Cheerios, such as protein, so it is not a suitable dog food.
To make sure you don’t give your dog too much:
Similar to plain cheerios, honey nut cheerios aren’t harmful to dogs but they don’t provide any essential nutrients. Some people think that there might be some added value of the honey; however, how much honey your dog gets in a small serving and the quality of it is probably not great.
Many people think that honey nut cheerios are the best Cherrio flavor to feed dogs. If your dog has a nut allergy, you’ll want to stay away from this one.
You should also remember that cheerios come in a variety of flavors. Although the added sugar content in some brands may not be too harmful to humans, it can represent a bigger sugar spike in dogs. Banana Nut Cheerios have added sugar, but shouldn’t cause any health problems when fed as a treat.
With that being said, you should stay away from chocolate cheerios because—well, chocolate is always a terrible idea for dogs. You may also aim to stay away from high-sugar Cheerios, such as Cinnamon Cheerios.
Dogs can react differently to different foods. If you feed your dog something new, use common sense. If he reacts, pull away the treat and don’t feed him it again.
To decide whether or not you want to feed your dog Cheerios as a snack, review these pros and cons.
Although we’ve stated that Cheerios aren’t the worst snack to feed your dog, there’s something else to consider. There’s many brands “knock-off” Cheerio brands that may have a slightly different ingredient deck. Although it’s likely similar, you’ll always want to check the label to compare. For example, some brands may be higher in sugar, making you opt for the more expensive, brand name Cheerios.
On the other hand, it’s possible other brands could have less sugar, so it’s worth checking out for both your health and your doggo’s!
As we mentioned, cheerios aren’t harmful, but they aren’t the best option either health-wise. If you’re looking for a healthier cereal to feed your dog as a treat you may want to consider:
Many cereals aren’t healthy but aren’t harmful either. However, some are toxic to dogs. The most obvious ones contain chocolate and raisins. Don’t feed your dog these:
When choosing a treat or snack for your dog, there’s a couple things you want to keep in mind. One of the first factors is health content. The original cereal Cheerios doesn’t have much nutritional value to offer your dog. With that being said, unless your dog has allergies or sensitivities, it shouldn’t hurt them in small quantities either.
Compared to other cereals, Cheerios are low in sugar. They’re still an unnecessary carb for your dog’s diet, but they can be a tasty snack for them now and again. If your canine accidentally eats some Cheerios, it usually isn’t a cause for concern. However, if your dog has pre-existing health concerns or has eaten a large quantity, you’ll want to call your vet to learn if there’s potential risks.
If you choose to give your dog a few pieces, keep in mind the type you purchase. Some brands contain added sugars and flavors, which aren’t great, so we’d recommend sticking to bland varieties. Although you may think your dog will think it tastes “boring,” you should also consider that dogs have more sensitive palates, meaning that they’ll enjoy a low-sugar brand just fine.
