25.01.2022 DogRisk research shows adding even two fresh meals a week (or 20% fresh food to your bowl of kibble) reduces inflammation and disease markers substantially! http://bit.ly/2uDSTFY

19.01.2022 Exercise is important for dogs, as it is with people. It's also crucial that you take precautions to ensure that your dog is up to the challenge that you're se...tting. For example, young dogs shouldn't be running long distances, or taking part in extended, vigorous play - even if they want to. In some cases you may have to moderate your dog's activity. Here's a good article discussing the topic: See more

17.01.2022 I managed to get Mike up early to take some videos for a little challenge that we have...so I thought I would get some more video....this is how i teach a great... "hold"....And she picked up her bumper when she dropped it, which was great with out me asking.... I do a lot with the dog having a bumper in her mouth..... I also try to teach more and more direction by pointing and voice cues....Urshie See more

15.01.2022 And this is still to teach her a great hold....I do this with many different bumpers and also the ropes. each time a different item, i don't want her "stuck" on items. Must video when she does it with the lifejacket too

13.01.2022 beautiful rain today ...... Convinced Mike to stand under the verandah and do some quick video of a regular training session of urshie in the morning Relaxed heeling and "place retrieves" today

12.01.2022 Great stuff..... And free

09.01.2022 https://www.youtube.com/watch The trick dog tests

09.01.2022 Always good and sensible info.... we wear ours diligently

08.01.2022 So I also show botch ups..... be it handler or dog... this is handler.... Poor direction in the cue for "go around" and I said "place, but pointed at the "paws ...up"... So she listens and tried hard to please me and all that tells me is that she is awesome... Second video I gave better cues for "go around" and asked and pointed for the correct "Paws up" and "Place".... We worked our way through it. I just love how she tries....Great to have someone video and to be able to see the mistakes we make. See more

07.01.2022 This situation is a brilliant example of when to use simple #dogowneretiquette out on a walk. Sometimes dogs are on a lead for a reason, and the rest of us need... to respect that. The excuse 'It's ok, he's friendly' simply doesn't cut it. You don't know why that dog is on a lead. It could be recovering from a negative experience, or even convalescing following an illness or injury. Want to help? Keep your dog away. If it was the other way round, you'd hope the owner of the other dog would be responsible too. The best thing to do if you see a walker with their dog on a lead approaching and yours is off lead - recall your dog, put them on the lead, and keep them on it until you've passed safely. It's basics really isn't it. Thanks to #yourdog for the image. Feel free to share #pawsin

05.01.2022 I love all working dogs and i love seeing people train dogs for what they were origianlly bred for. this is Toddy, I feel very privileged for us to be involved with his training......he is learning impulse control, he has improved so much. A great way to spend a morning

02.01.2022 SO JUST HOW LONG DO YOUR PET’S SHOTS LAST? Definitely longer than a year! According to the top pet immunologist (aka vaccine expert) in the world, Dr. Ronald Sc...hultz, Ph.D. Annual revaccination provides no benefit and may increase the risk for adverse reactions. What the heck are adverse reactions (or side effects)? Well according to the other rock star pet immunologist Dr. Jean Dodds: Side effects from dog vaccinations can occur anywhere from instantly up to several weeks or months later. Vaccines can even cause susceptibility to chronic diseases that appear much later in a dog’s life (Dodd, 2001). Severe and fatal adverse reactions include: Susceptibility to infections. Neurological disorders and encephalitis. Aberrant behavior, including unprovoked aggression. Vaccines are linked to seizures. Distemper, parvovirus, rabies and, presumably, other vaccines have been linked with poly neuropathy, a nerve disease that involves inflammation of several nerves. (Dodds,2001) SO HOW LONG EXACTLY DOES YOUR PET’S VACCINE LAST? According to the recommendations of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), (basically the dudes who set the standards for the vets): Among healthy dogs, all commercially available [core] vaccines are expected to induce a sustained protective immune response lasting at least 5 yr. thereafter Here’s the breakdown of the core vaccines from Dr. Ronald Schultz: Minimum Duration of Immunity for Canine Vaccines: Distemper- 7 years by challenge Parvovirus 7 years by challenge Adenovirus 7 years by challenge Canine rabies 3 years by challenge The moral of the story here, if you have no idea when your pet is due or has been vaccinated, then just run a titer test and this will confirm if you are due, rather than over-vaccinate your poor pet, setting the stage for future problems! What’s a titer test? A titer test (pronounced tight-errr) is a laboratory or in-house veterinary test measuring the existence and level of antibodies (necessary to fight off disease) in your pet’s blood. Basically, it’s a test that will tell you whether or not you actually need to vaccinate your pet. It’s also super useful when making a decision about vaccinating a pet with an unknown vaccination history, or for determining if pets have received immunity from vaccination. Vaccinating your pet is super important so don’t lose the overall message here: VACCINATE, JUST DON’T OVER-VACCINATE! According to Dr. Dodds: Vaccines have achieved many important benefits for companion animals, and has saved more animals' lives than any other medical advance. Want more on titer testing?
