11.01.2022 DOGTOR DOLITTLE'S DAILY FACT : Lots of people think a dry nose in a dog means they are unwell. That's not necessarily true. ... Dogs noses are covered in a mucus that helps them to smell, they lick it to taste what they are smelling to gain information. A dry nose can mean that your dog doesn't secrete mucus as often or that they lick their nose less, the most important thing to know is what is normal for your dog.

10.01.2022 Dog bites can be prevented by learning the body language signals that dogs give off in the lead up to a bite. Dogs generally don't "bite out of nowhere" unless ...these early signals have been ignored repeatedly or punished. Here are the signals that a dog will give as they move down the road to a bite, and what they mean: 1) Displacement Signals - "I'll act distracted to take the pressure off" - Sniffing - Scratching - Goofing around 2) Calming Signals - "I'd really like things to calm down" - Licking lips - Yawning (often with a squeaking noise) - Turning head away or moving away - Moving in slow motion 3) Stress Signals - "I'm really getting scared now" - Heavy panting - Sweaty paws - Trembling - Big wide eyes (called whale eye or half moon eye) - Hackles up 4) Preparing for Action / Assessment - "They're not stopping, maybe I'll have to defend myself" - Stiff, frozen posture (conserving energy) - Staring wide-eyed without blinking (hard stare) - Mouth closed 5) Last Warnings - "Please stop and go away, this is your last warning" - Snarling or lifting lip up vertically - Growling - Snapping the air - Punching with nose (muzzle punch) 6) Attack - "This is the only way to keep myself safe" - Lunge - Bite The earlier you take an exit, the better your chances will be of avoiding a bite! The rule of thumb if you're not sure what to when you think your dog might be heading down the road to a bite is ADD SOME DISTANCE between your dog and whatever is upsetting them. Contact a professional, positive reinforcement based behavioural trainer for further assistance. If you have a dog with fear or aggression issues, keep an eye out for That Dog Geek's next video, the first in a series on helping fearful or reactive dogs.
