Write for us
Paw and Pause welcomes clear, original pitches about humane training and the everyday care and company of dogs. We look for one well-shaped idea that gives readers something specific to notice or try.
What we welcome
Pitch an explanation, a careful comparison, a piece of background or a practical look at a particular routine or setting. Strong ideas stay within the writer's knowledge, avoid one-size-fits-all claims and offer a distinct point rather than repeating familiar advice.
What to include
Tell us the proposed subject, the main point, who the piece is for and why it is worth a reader's time. Note any relevant experience or sources you would draw on, and disclose any connection that could affect how the subject is presented. Do not send a complete draft unless requested.
Sending a proposal
Send pitches through the Contact page and choose the editorial question option. A proposal is not a guarantee of publication; please do not include private information about other people or animals.
Notice first. Teach with care.
A dog is not a checklist of behaviours to fix. We start with observation, patient practice and routines that respect the individual dog.
