If a dog is repeatedly not following a cue, it's important we don't decide they are being 'stubborn'. Dogs are not stubborn because they choose to be.

It may be that they haven't actually learned the cue properly.

They may be feeling unwell.

There may be distractions in the environment that mean they can't concentrate and respond to the cue.

The reward on offer might not be motivating enough for them in that moment.

Look at the environment for distractions, look at the coaching history to see if the cue has been fully established and proofed in the wider world, and look at the value of the rewards you are offering.

There time is shorter than ours, don’t isolate your family, they need love too!!

Wow what a great poster!!!

When I was a kid, I would step in dog crap all the time! Kids today don't know how awful it was to step in fresh dog sh*t and then use a hose to blast it off the bottom of your shoe!

Small dogs can lose agency very quickly. Despite asking for space they are often ignored or even laughed at. It's no wonder they get defensive and worried by people. Does your small dog struggle in the world? We can help with that, drop us a line in the comments.

People hear "socialization," and they think it means dogs playing together...you know, being social.

But socialization is not about playing with other dogs.

Honestly, it's easy to understand why people have a hard time understanding the concept of dog socialization. When you look at the root of the word, "social," it makes sense that we interpret it as interacting (or playing) with each other because that's what it means when talking about human behavior.

But in reality, socialization involves introducing a dog to a wide variety of stimuli (sights, sounds, smells, experiences) in a positive and controlled manner.

Socialization is building positive associations with and being neutral when exposed to those stimuli. (An easy example: the vacuum cleaner.)

Socialization helps your dog to be comfortable with other animals, people, places, and activities.

Socialization helps create a behaviorally well-rounded dog that is more confident and comfortable in a variety of environments.

Snake bites in dogs and cats

Often when your animal is bitten by a snake you may not even know it has happened. Here are some signs to watch out for even if you do not initially suspect a snake bite.
Signs that your dog has been bitten by a snake:
· Sudden weakness and collapse
· Vomiting
· Salivation
· Trembling
· Followed by an apparent recovery
· Blood clotting problems such as red gums, blood in urine and blood coming from eyes
· Pupil dilation

Signs that your cat has been bitten by a snake:
· Difficulty walking or balancing
· Weakness
· Vomiting
· Coma
· Flaccid paralysis with ability to move tail

What to do if you suspect your dog or cat has been bitten:
· Contact your vet as soon as possible
· Keep your dog as immobile as possible
and try not to over excite them
· If you have seen the snake, try and identify it or take a picture but don’t try to catch it
· If you can see a bite wound apply a firm bandage over the site but do not apply a torniquet
· If possible, carry your dog to the car to limit their movement
