21.01.2022 Also when you decide please Adopt not buy.

21.01.2022 LET THIS SINK IN ~ If the place you're renting doesn't allow dogs ~ find another place that does. If your boyfriend or girlfriend doesn't like your dog ~ find a...nother boyfriend or girlfriend. If you're moving out of state ~ be as loyal to your dog as he has been to you. Take him along with you. If you're not willing to commit to a dog for ALL of his life ~ DON'T GET A DOG. If you STILL refuse to make it work ~ have the decency to reach out to a reputable rescue to intake your family .. their life depends on it. Literally.

18.01.2022 Can't stress how important it is for people to realise this

05.01.2022 Dog parks have come up a lot in cases recently (warmer weather) so I felt it was worthy of another pie-chart-humour attempt to convey something really important.... One of my favourite quotes from Lewis Nicholls Dog Training says it best - Some dogs like playing with other dogs. That’s great. Some dogs don’t. That’s fine too. I don’t like nightclubs so I don’t go. I have the choice. Give your dog more choice. We are lucky in Hawkes Bay in that we have some great dog exercise areas and on the whole, a lot of great owners visiting them with their dogs. Whether all of those dogs really love being there is up for debate, but using dog parks to ‘fix’ dog problems or ignoring your dog’s behaviour when it’s inappropriate or scaring other dogs is causing a ripple effect that ends up on my doorstep (and other trainers). Dogs don’t NEED to go to the dog park and it’s perfectly normal for them not to want to be friends with every dog they meet. The best thing you can do is learn more about dog body language (check out Doggie Drawings by Lili Chin for some fun, easy visuals - her new book is amazing) and look at your dog with fresh eyes. Maybe next time you jump in the car, a nice walk somewhere quiet with some fun training and play with you would make your dog a lot happier #positivereinforcement See more

03.01.2022 I threw this short list together based on the recent string of cases that I have been working over the last few months where these factors were involved. These ...are all very common contributing factors that can set dogs up for failure or result in an aggressive response. So what can pet owners do instead?! 1. Don’t take a puppy who is fearful or shy around other dogs to the dog park. It’s kind of like taking a shy librarian to a biker bar. An alternative would be to pair the dog with suitable, social playmates that can gently bring out play (preferably under the guidance of a professional and preferably one-on-one). 2. Don’t chase a dog who just stole something. Doing so can inadvertently add value to the item, and cause the dog to use aggression to keep the highly coveted object. Swiping the object out of the dog’s mouth and punishing them can make them more defensive. Instead, manage the items so the dog can’t practice stealing them; teach the dog to bring those items to you for tasty treats (retrieve) in the event they get a hold of them; and teach the dog to voluntarily leave the items alone in the first place. If they get a hold of something dangerous (pill bottle, kitchen knife, your Uncle’s pot brownies), then it’s understandable to dive in and risk getting bitten. But if you do preventative training, you significantly reduce the potential for a bite. 3. Tight leashes are awfully restrictive. They can add frustration, remove flight options, and create confrontational body postures. While I’m not a fan of on-leash greetings, they will happen in life, so keeping the leash loose (and the greetings really short) will help to prevent problems from occurring. 4. The last time the waiter tried to take my plate away when there were a few fries still left on it, I almost took his hand off. Taking a dog’s food or toys away while they are enjoying them is quite similar. Instead, dropping higher value treats nearby on occasion will work in the same fashion as the waiter popping the hot fudge sundae right next to my plate of fries. 5. Guess who gets bitten the most? That’s right - kids! Kids can do awfully weird things to dogs sometimes, so it is vital we supervise them and teach them how to properly interact with dogs. FamilyPaws.com, LivingWithKidsAndDogs.com, and The FamilyDog.com all are chock full of information on how to keep kids safe! DISCLAIMER: If your dog is already displaying aggressive behaviors in these contexts, seek out the guidance of a professional who is experienced in aggression cases using positive reinforcement, desensitization and counterconditioning, or differential reinforcement. (Those are the keywords you can use to look for the right pro!) #aggressionindogs #dogtraining #dogsandkids #dogsafety #veterinarian

02.01.2022 PUBlIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT It was on Fox news earlier that 70 dogs have died as a result of eating chicken jerky treats made from chicken that has come from Ch...ina. Kingdom Pets brand from Costco is one of them. Also certain Blue Buffalo brand pet foods have a recall for the same thing. Please re post and make sure all your doggie friends are aware of this.

01.01.2022 Lots of times, our dog’s messages get lost in translation. Because we don’t speak the same language, we need to become close observers of our dogs. By learning ...what they’re trying to communicate we can improve our relationships immensely. Are any of these translations new to you? www.ignoremydog.com
