9!!This show contains the following tropes:
10
11
12* AdultsAreMoreAnthropomorphic: The dogs in the series act more dog-like when they're babies and more human-like when they are big kids.
13* CartoonDogBreed: With the exception of a few, like Lady Lydia the poodle and Sam Whippet the whippet, most of the dogs don't resemble any specific breed. The Barkers in particular just look like multicolored dogs of various shapes and sizes (besides Grandpaw Mort, who resembles a basset hound).
14* DontExplainTheJoke: [[AvertedTrope Averted.]] Jokes are explained by the characters enough times, that explaining the joke is basically a RunningGag in itself.
15* DidntThinkThisThrough: The episode "Board Silly" has Frank and Beans cheat on a live board game across Pawston by replacing all their cards with Skip Cards, meaning they can bypass all challenges and reach the final space sooner. However, [[spoiler: they can't actually ''win'' the game, as to do so you need to choose a Treasure Card on the final space, and they only have Skip Cards!]] Furthermore; [[spoiler: because they skipped most of the ''game'' part of the game, they didn't have ''any'' fun.]]
16* FreeRangeChildren; Tag and Scooch can go almost everywhere in Pawston.
17* FriendlyRival: Tag and Wind Swiftly during the Race Cadet storyline.
18* FunnyAnimal: The cartoon's characters are anthropomorphic dogs, also season 3 introduces anthropomorphic cats.
19* FurryReminder: For example, the dogs wag their tails when they are happy. They also bark sometimes.
20* HufflepuffHouse: The Race Cadet storyline focuses on Tag and Wind, the other cadets, Tread Lightly and Doug, are just... there.
21* MythologyGag: Paw Barker and Lady Lydia are based on characters from the book.
22* OddNameOut: Tag's rivals during the Race Cadet storyline are Wind Swiftly, Tread Lightly, and... Doug.
23* PunnyName: Frank and Beans. Bonus points for Frank resembling a ''Weiner'' dog.
24* ShakingTheRump: Some characters seems to do this while wagging their tails.
25* TitleDrop: Used a LOT by the characters.
