Spooky Halloween Part 1

Make the act of dressing up feel meaningful, hilarious, and memory-driven — not just for photos, but for bonding and play.

Choose at least 2 rituals to complete the transformation!

Trial 1: The Sashay of Shadows

Walk your dog down your hallway, yard, or “catwalk” while dramatically narrating their backstory. “Cursed at birth, feared by mailmen, beloved by none… behold!”

Trial 2: The Costume Checkpoint

Let your dog perform a trick or pose in costume — any sit, paw, or look-at-me counts. Reward with a treat and whisper: “The transformation is almost complete.”

Trial 3: The Snack Summoning

Toss or hide a treat and see if your dog can “use their magic” to locate it. (Yes, nose counts as magic.)

Trial 4: The Identity Test

Ask them: “Are you still my dog… or have you become something… more?”
If they tilt their head, bark, or stare at you weird — they pass.

Declare the Transformation Complete

After the trials, dramatically announce: “You have fully become [Insert Halloween Name Here]. May the spirits beware.”

Give them their first Halloween treat of the night and take a photo of your newly transformed beast.

Inviting Friends?

Make sure each dog completes trials and then joins a mini “parade of transformed beings.” Award made-up titles like “Most Likely to Start a Cult” or “Spookiest Wiggle.”
