Involve Your Dog
Any pet parent will understand they are family so it makes sense to search for dog proposal ideas. I am sure you have been bombarded with ‘tie a ring to the dog collar’ by now and lots of adorable pictures of rings resting on cute noses.
BUT lets be honest. We all know most of those photos have been taken either before or after the actual event. There doesn’t seem to be much inspiration or guidance on how to create a romantic proposal that runs smoothly. If you want to ensure your partner can take in every second, while also involving their favourite fur babies, then you're in the right place.
So lets get into the how...
1.She Said Yes
When considering how excitable and unpredictable dogs can be. An easy go to, that still includes your dog, is to introduce them at the ‘she said yes’ stage.
How
Your family and friends will jump at the opportunity to be involved in this once in a life time event. So take advantage of this and ask a loved one to hide somewhere with the pooch so they can jump out as a surprise a minute or so after.
Add a cute bandana with a desired note, or even a adorable tux collar to make them look event ready!
2.Fetch Toy
Does your best friend have the trusted fetching skills to be your ultimate wing dog. If so, this is the trick for you! Find yourself a dog toy with that special question on.
When the time is right, ask your dog to fetch their new favourite toy and present it to your partner for the most adorable delivery.
How
Personalising a tennis ball is a great way for ball crazy doggy's, as they will fetch any ball thrown.
If you are going to introduce a more unique soft toy, you will need to teach your dog to fetch this particular toy from their toy box. This choice is best for dogs that already know commands such as fetch, find, take and drop.
Introduce the toy when alone and ensure you hide it well and discreetly when around your partner. Only add the toy back to your dog’s basket when its time!
3.Gift A Toy
If your dog is a rather cheeky, excitable character and you are uncertain they will remain calm with this big responsibility, then this choice is for you!
How
Similar to fetch, find yourself a personalised dog toy with those all-important words on it. Wrap the toy in wrapping paper as if a doggy gift and ask your partner to help them open it. This will allow your partner to see the question clearly before any potential destruction, while also giving your pup a big role in the moment.
This can be combined with a romantic intimate celebration or date. It can also go hand in hand with any gift giving celebrations such as a birthday or even a Christmas Day surprise.
4. Ring Bearer Collar
Using a ring bearing collar is probably the easiest choice, making it the most reliable too!
How
You would carry a ring box with you for any surprise proposal, so the only difference here is to discreetly hook the ring box onto your dogs collar at the perfect moment.
This could be mid walk in your favourite hiking spot, during a romantic dinner date at home or even at a special family gathering to involve more of your loved ones.
5.Follow The Trail
This is a truly lovely way to give them a literal lead role in the big question.
How
Set up a dreamy and romantic proposal location where you and your partner can share an intimate moment. Add a trail of your dogs favourite treats for them to sniff out and lead the way to the destination.
An extra nice touch is to complete the location with a comfy dog area to ensure they can stay nice and cosy and settled while you and your partner enjoy taking in every second. Bonus points for a bottle of bubbly ready.
6.Wear It
From bandanas, personalised jumpers to DIY signs. This is an adorable option for your fur baby to play a big role and present the big question.
There are a few different ways to pull this one off.
How
Similar to 'she said said' you can involve loved ones and have your furry best friend appear wearing those magic words as the ultimate surprise.
Or you can add this accessory to your doggo at the right moment, similar to the 'ring bearer' option.
Combine this with a thoughtful set up that represents you and your partner or create a romantic scene before the doggo reveal.
7.Sign It
If your pooch isn’t keen on wearing accessories, but you still want them to deliver the question. Then this option is your go to.
Write a sign with a message from your fur child themselves. The message can read something like ‘will you marry my dad?’ This is the cutest way for your best friend to wing dog you and ask on your behalf.
Like any proposal, this can be combined with a romantic set up or even follow the trail above.
How
As this involves your dog sitting calmly next to the sign, here are some top tricks to help this one run smoothly.
Walk to the location together as a three (you, your partner and your dog) add a longer route to tire your dog out first if needed. This way, the excitement of being on an adventure will with their favourite humans will have clamed by this point.
Arrive behind the sign! This will give you time to place your dog next to the sign with the command to sit nicely. How perfect will this proposal delivery be right?
8. Picture Perfect
If you plan on proposing abroad, in a restaurant or any location that isn't doggy friendly, then this is the choice for you.
How
Such a simple but sweet way to include your pup is by adding an adorable picture of them to the ring box. This gives them a front row seat in spirit.
The proposal possibilities are endless with this one as this option simply adds that extra touch.
The best thing about including your pooch in your proposal is that it adds a personal touch to the special moment while keeping it intimate. You can add your best friend to any given proposal idea or romantic scene of your choice for an extra magical once in a life time event.
Happy Proposing...
