Here’s the fascinating reason why dogs roll in sometimes disgusting smells (and what you can do about it).

The man slipped and fell in the snow breaking his neck, and Kelsey snuggled him to prevent frostbite while barking for help.

The key to dog body language is recognizing stress signals, and understanding what our own body language communicates to our dogs.

DO DOGS RECOGNISE & PREFER SIMILAR BREEDS?
If you have ever taken your dog out to where there are other dogs, you may have noticed that some dogs are more attracted to particular breeds.

Why is this? Although there is no formal research that concludes that dogs are more attracted to certain breeds and not others, I believe there is a plausible explanation for this.

Individual breeds have unique face and body shapes, use different styles of body language and have different ways of playing which a similar breed recognises and relates to. They simply understand the finer details of each other’s language.

The communication style makes perfect sense to them, but may not be as well understood by other breed types.

A negative or positive past experience with a particular breed may also have an impact on a dog’s perception and reaction to that breed.

When I take my Schnauzers out, they get very excited if they see other Schnauzers and immediately want to go over to say hello. They do the same with Airedale Terriers, Scotties and Maltese, but tend not to be interested or keep away from other breeds.

Have you noticed that your dog seems to naturally understand or communicate more easily with dogs of their own breed or similar type?

WHAT COLOURS DO DOGS SEE?
Contrary to popular belief, dogs are not colour blind.

A dog’s visual world is certainly not as vibrantly colourful as ours, but they do see a range of yellow, grey and blue shades and have better night and peripheral vision than we do.

Colour is interpreted and discerned by nerve cells in the eyes. The retina has two main types of cells called rods, which detect light levels and motion and cones which differentiate colour.

A human’s eyes have three types of cones which can identify combinations of red, blue, and green.

Dogs have only two types of cones that are only able to discern shades of blue, yellow and grey – this perception of colour is called dichromatic vision.

An ophthalmology professor at the University of Washington discovered that dogs could see blues and yellows but not reds and greens. This information would have been confirmed by anatomical investigation of a dog’s eye.

It would make more sense if manufacturers of dog toys would take a dog’s colour spectrum into account when producing dog toys.

Toys are usually made to visually appeal to people, not dogs.

Shades of yellow, grey or blue are far more appealing to your dog than a bright shade of red or another colour.

From ...

It's the interval training for me. I'm heading out for my first training session after my cold today. Apollo, my trainer, will not be going easy on my. According to him, weight loss doesn't happen by sitting on the sofa, binge watching Grey's Anatomy. 🙄

I love Jonny Devaney. If you're not already following him, you're missing out.
