The Insane Dogs
Meet Rex and Isla, the adorable pups of Insane Dog Blog! Rex is a crazy, lovable border collie/cattle dog mix who was adopted from Wisconsin Border Collie Rescue. Isla is his spunky little sister, a mix of lab, boxer, terrier, aussie, and everything in between, who was rescued from AHeinz57 Pet Rescue.
Join us on our exciting adventures and discover helpful tips to soothe the craziness. Plus, we want to hear your stories! Let’s help keep each other sane!

The hot summer months are quickly approaching, so it’s important to keep our furry friends cool. One way to do that is by playing water games and providing water toys, like Rex’s favorite, the water fountain toy. Think your dog would like the dog water fountain too? Check out how you can get one here!

Don’t worry—Rex and Isla have the inside scoop on how to harness that boundless enthusiasm without losing their quirky personality. Welcome to our series on living with an energetic dog!

Frantic Dog Walks – Valuable Training Treats Can Help
When going on walks with your dog, is your dog triggered by different things? Things such as other people, dogs, scooters, skateboards, bikes? If this is the case for you, bringing along training treats on your walk can be extremely helpful. They are a must on our walks!
