Alphabet Puzzle

So my daughter's rescue-dog-themed birthday party is tomorrow. And like the amazing, awesome mom I am, I have devised an entire escape room for the kids in my stepdaughter's old bedroom. I have props, a storyline, clues, the whole deal. Except, like the lazy bastard I am, I have put off a bunch of the stuff until the last second, and now find myself in a conundrum.

There is a 5-letter alphabet lock being used in the room. I've just realized that the word I'd planned to set it to (DOGGO) isn't possible with the available letters. How I failed to check this earlier, I don't know.

Here are the letters on the lock:

A A T C K
B O A S L
C E C N D
D L D E Y
E I E Y N
J H I A A
L U L L E
M R N I H
S N R T S
T T S O _

I need a 5-letter dog-themed word that ISN'T "leash" (because that's used elsewhere in the room.) One letter from each column. Suggestions?
