19.01.2022 Want to be able to make friends with new dogs when you meet them? You can signal that you’re friendly by using canine body language! We often hear that you’re s...upposed to offer a dog the back of your hand to sniff, but the body language of this move is actually quite threatening. When we lean forward to offer our hand, we’re facing the dog square on, looming over them, making eye contact and invading their space. All of those signals combine into an intimidating message, and as a result many dogs will become uncomfortable when greeted in this fashion. Confident dogs will usually respond with a couple of signals like turning their head away, yawning, or licking their nose, which means they’d like the human to ease up a bit. Shy or anxious dogs will back away, cower, or even growl, snap or bite. The best way to greet a dog is to either stand side on to them and invite them over by patting your leg or calling to them, or crouch down on the ground and let them come to you. This method ensures that it’s the dog’s choice to come and say hello they’re moving up to you, rather than you moving up to them. If the dog chooses not to approach, it means that they don’t want to say hello. It’s important that you respect that choice, and leave them be. If you’re going to be spending some time with the dog, be patient and hang back the best way to win the trust of a shy dog is to avoid putting pressure on them to interact. Move slowly, blink your eyes a lot to avoid staring, and don’t speak loudly. If they approach to sniff you, don’t pet them right away. Let them sniff, then when they’re finished move away from them and try inviting them closer again. Best of luck making some new doggie friends Dog Geeks! We’d love to hear how being conscious of your body language has helped you greet dogs, or if you’ve ever won the trust of a shy dog by being patient and avoiding pressuring them. - Maddie Ross CPDT-KA ---------------------------------------- For more graphics and videos on training and behaviour, check out our library: https://www.beacondogtraining.com.au/thatdoggeek

In light of the Coronavirus situation, we wanted to let you know that we are working to take extra care in order to promote the best possible health environment within our trailer.

We appreciate that many of you like to keep your pooch company whilst they are being pampered and that many of you kindly assist with the setup and packup of our trailer. During this time we would kindly ask for you to excuse yourself from attending the hydrobath if you have had contact with anyone who is confirmed to have the virus, or if you are showing symptoms of any illness, particularly if you or those you have had contact with have travelled overseas recently.

06.01.2022 PREPARE AHEAD FOR THE THUNDERSTORM & FIREWORKS SEASON - The loud and unexpected noises of thunderstorms and fireworks can cause our pet’s extreme distress. It’s... therefore important to create a safe, calm environment for them. This will prevent them from hurting themselves or becoming lost in panic. Prepare Know when the storm or fireworks is starting and ensure your pet is in a safe and secure place well before noises commence. Create a safe place Pets can have a ‘flight’ response to unexpected noises, sometimes ending up kilometres from home in their panic. Because of this, pets should be kept indoors whenever possible, including rabbits & guinea pigs. Creating a calm, secure area for your pet inside your house will also help them feel protected. Close the curtains and put familiar bedding in a small, confined hiding place. A laundry or bathroom is ideal. Otherwise, allow your pet to be with you while you play music or turn the television on to cover the sounds. (NOT the fireworks) Speak to your veterinarian early If you are concerned about how your pet will cope speak to your veterinarian early! Short term medications may help your pet but supervision is still recommended. Monitor for signs of stress Staying home with your pet will help hem feel comforted. If this isn’t possible, try to arrange overnight boarding at a kennel or veterinary hospital. When the noises begin, keep an eye out for subtle stress signs. Dogs may lick their lips, yawn or begin panting. Other signs may include vocalisation, heavy panting, shaking and shivering. If your pet does show signs that they are frightened, never raise your voice or punish him. Speak softly, stroke them, try to distract them, and reward calm behaviour with positive playtime and treats. A treat filled kong toy or filled Kong or favourite toy is a great distraction. Microchip & Collars If your pet does manage to escape, keeping microchip and registration details up to date is vital. A collar with identification is also a good idea Locating a lost pet Losing your beloved fur baby can be devastating. If you have lost your pet, contact your local veterinarians, Penrith City Council Animal Rangers, Hawkesbury Companion Animal Shelter and the various lost & found Facebook groups in the area.

04.01.2022 **ALERT** With many of us back into spring gardening, the Animal Poisons Helpline has noticed an increase in cases of snail bait poisoning. We would like to r...emind all pet owners about the safe use of snail bait. Most snail bait products that are available in Australia and New Zealand contain either metaldehyde, methiocarb or iron-EDTA. Dogs often find these products highly attractive and will ingest large quantities (the whole box) if given the chance to do so. Some products may be labelled as pet friendly whilst others incorporate a bittering agent to deter ingestion. In our experience these bittering agents do not stop curious dogs and whilst some snail baits are considered safer than others, it is important to note that a large ingestion of any of these products may result in life-threatening poisoning. To prevent snail bait poisoning in your pets; Ensure your pets never have access to the packaging. Many of these products are available in cardboard boxes and can easily be chewed through. Use as per the manufacturer’s recommendations. Do not sprinkle excessive quantities or heap pellets in any particular area. Applying more than recommended can drastically increase the risk to pets. Be careful not to sprinkle any pellets onto pedestrian pathways next to your garden. Passing dogs may find these highly appetising and you may inadvertently poison someone else’s pet. Consider pesticide free solutions such as manually removing snails. If your pet has ingested any snail bait, early assessment and intervention where appropriate can be lifesaving. Please call the Animal Poisons Helpline immediately on 1300 869 738 (AU) or 0800 869 738 (NZ) for advice, even if your pet looks well. Our service is free for all pet owners.
