Commerce is all around us. Lurking around every gentrified corner is a boutique fromagerie. Behind every "helpful link" is a referral code waiting for checkout. If your dog is looking for a way to cut back on the urge to spend and mindless browsing, review the tips below to give their purse a break.

Teach Your Dog How to Resist Consumerism

OBEY. CONSUME. CONFORM. GOOD BOY.

Avoid advertising. If your dog doesn't know about a product, then they can't buy it. Turn on an ad blocker in their browser to help.
Raise chickens and start a vegetable garden. Food is important for your dog. With chickens and a vegetable garden, they'll never need to order takeout again.
Stay hydrated. Thirst is the number one reason both dogs and humans purchase and consume fluids.
Buy in bulk. If your dog buys lots of items at once, it will reduce their frequency of purchases.
Teach them how to sew. If your dog wears pants, sewing is a great way to patch up any unintentional holes.
Try alternate forms of currency. If ease of credit cards are the issue, DIY cash is a great way for your dog to stop spending real money. Have fun with it :)
Spread the word. If your dog is loud and proud about how they're better off by spending less, others will look up to them for their wisdom and your dog will grow a following.
Leverage your dog's new-found influence. If your dog is popular enough, people will just give them things. They'll never need to spend their own money again!
