Feeling Punny? 100 Most Howlarious, Best Dog Puns For Any Occasion

Furgive me if I sound repundant, but I swear there is nothing like a good dog pun to keep you and your pooch howling with laughter. You may think that I’m barking mad, and you’d be right. I am barking mad. Mad about dog puns, that is.

Okay, okay. I’ll stop.

I know they can be cheesy, but they’re still fun, right? I’ll confess, I’ve always found punny people somewhat annoying. Annoying, that is, until one of my best friends married a puntastic pun-master who challenged me to countless games of punny wit each time we saw each other.

Alas, I became hooked. The cheesier the better. I too found myself a master of the snicker, the overly-dramatic wink, the elbow nudge. “Get it? Get it?”

Ask me if I care that I annoy people with my punniness?. Go ahead, just ask.

No, is my answer. I don’t care if they are annoying and how many of my friends roll their eyes or how many dinner parties I’ve stopped being invited to.

So, whether you are an appreciator of funny sayings to put on your dog’s ID tag or if you’re just a dog lover, or if you’re all those things and you work in the pet industry, like I do, then you’re really going to love these 100 howlarious dog puns we’ve compiled just for you to use in every occasion.

Let’s begin!

10 Dog Puns About Doggy Activities

This dog looks rather fetching today. Get it? Get it??? 

Look, raising a dog isn’t all tail wags and lick kisses. It’s also tough. You have to deal with doggy behavioral issues, barking, potty accidents, and lots and lots of dog fur.

As a trainer, I work daily with dogs doing all kinds of activities to help them live happier and healthier and to help their people better understand them.

I love working with dogs on socialization and using positive reinforcement techniques to help them thrive. Unfurtunately, most of my work is done alone. Most days, it’s just me and my puppy client.

This means that my human coworkers and I don’t get to spend too much time together, but when we do meet up we talk about nothing but the dogs in our care.

These are usually holiday parties, work meetings, staff fundraisers, and the works.

And you know who the hit of the party always is? It’s me, of course, all thanks to my funny, punny dog jokes!

Okay, this may not be accurate. I may only be invited to our work get togethers because I’m an employee and they don’t want to hurt my feelings…still, I choose to believe it’s because I use these to make everyone laugh, however awkwardly and forced.

Anyway, here are some great ones that have to do with doggy activities to use around those dog loving friends or coworkers of yours.

Oh yes, and you’re welcome.
