High energy dogs and exercise and mental stimulation ! Get amongst it fur parents ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

High energy dogs and exercise and mental stimulation ! Get amongst it fur parents ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

Dogs need exercise, particularly working breeds.

A recent video from Canine Transformation prompted me to do this post. Lucy was talking about how one of the first questions she asks when she is working with a dog with anxiety is how much exercise do they get, and I agree, it is at the top of my list too.

So many behavioural problems can be solved just by giving dogs enough exercise, mental stimulation and drive fulfilment. A walk around the block often isn't enough.

I have 2 working line German Shepherd Dogs and some of the activities that I do with them to meet their needs are:

- Training sessions (either teaching them a new skill or improving their impulse control) for mental stimulation

- Playing games where they get to bite and thrash like playing tug. I usually incorporate playing tug into our training sessions as a reward instead of using treats with them (for Hexxus and Havoc, toys > treats)

- Playing fetch in the water, either a family members swimming pool or the lake. I don't play fetch with them on land (the risk of injury like tearing an ACL isn't worth the risk for me) but they love fetch, and water, so fetch in the water is a good compromise.

- Walks on their running harnesses so they can pull and sniff as much as they like

- Playing with a flirt pole so they can stalk, chase and catch. A flirt pole is like a giant cat toy that heaps of dogs love.

- Filling up their paddle pool so they can dig all the water out

- Hexxus loves catching bubbles so I use it as a reinforcer in training

- Havoc loves doing scent work to use his shnooter

Different dogs like doing different things, so it can be useful having a few things in mind that your dog enjoys to mix and match and keep things interesting.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ Does your dog have horrible gas? Inconsistent stools? Poor skin and coat? Average behaviour?

๐Ÿค” You might be dealing with poor gut health.

๐Ÿฆ  Poor gut health can have various negative effects on dogs. The gut, or gastrointestinal tract, plays a crucial role in digestion, absorption of nutrients, and overall immune function. When the gut health of our dogs is compromised, several issues can arise:

๐Ÿ’ฉ ๐——๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—บ๐˜€

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ Dogs with poor gut health may experience diarrhea, constipation, excessive gas, or vomiting. These symptoms can be a result of imbalances in the gut flora, inflammation, or damage to the intestinal lining.

๐Ÿ“Š ๐—ก๐˜‚๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฎ๐—น ๐——๐—ฒ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ The gut is responsible for absorbing nutrients from food. If the gut is not functioning optimally, your dog may not absorb essential nutrients properly, leading to deficiencies long term. This can result in poor growth, weight loss, muscle weakness, and a weakened immune system.

๐Ÿคง ๐—ช๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—œ๐—บ๐—บ๐˜‚๐—ป๐—ฒ ๐—ฆ๐˜†๐˜€๐˜๐—ฒ๐—บ

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ A significant portion of the immune system resides in the gut. When the gut is unhealthy, the immune system may become compromised, making your dog more susceptible to infections, allergies, and other immune-related disorders.

๐Ÿ˜ˆ ๐—•๐—ฒ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—น ๐—–๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ด๐—ฒ๐˜€

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ We talk about gut and mental health A LOT! Surprisingly, poor gut health can also impact a dog's behaviour. The gut produces various neurotransmitters and communicates with the brain through the gut-brain axis. Imbalances in gut bacteria can affect the production and balance of these neurotransmitters, potentially leading to mood disorders, anxiety, and altered behaviour.

๐Ÿ• ๐—ฆ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป ๐—ฃ๐—ฟ๐—ผ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—บ๐˜€

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ After inheriting a BLUE Stafford ๐Ÿ™„ let me tell you, I know all about skin issues and the role probiotics and good diet plays in managing this.

โ˜๐Ÿฝ Dogs with poor gut health may exhibit skin issues such as itching, rashes, hot spots, or excessive shedding. The gut plays a role in the metabolism and excretion of certain compounds that can influence skin health. Imbalances in the gut can contribute to skin inflammation and other dermatological problems.

๐Ÿงซ ๐—œ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฆ๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ฒ๐—ฝ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ฏ๐—ถ๐—น๐—ถ๐˜๐˜† ๐˜๐—ผ ๐——๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜€๐—ฒ

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ A compromised gut can compromise the overall health of the dog, making them more vulnerable to various diseases. Poor gut health has been linked to conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), leaky gut syndrome, and gastrointestinal infections.

โ˜๐Ÿฝ It is important to note that the causes of poor gut health in dogs can vary and may include factors such as inappropriate highly processed diet, food allergies or intolerances, genetics, stress, medications (like antibiotics), and parasites.

โœ… What you can do to support your dog and ensure they have good gut health:

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ We recommend rotating through different brands at the end of each pack to get access to different strains in different amounts unless of course your dog is doing awesome on one, stick to that one. What works for your dog is an individual thing.

Extremely good educational post. On warning signs.
I cringe every time I see a baby laying over the top of a dog on, or squeezing a dog. I like to add, โ€œwith in reasonโ€. There are some videos where I know itโ€™s safe but majority is not. People telling me โ€œmy dog is friendlyโ€ it is great with children. Probably where I became really good at handling dogs cause I was this child when I was younger with my old dog Pandy. I was ALWAYS getting bitten ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

- My dogs are great with children, babies, other dogs, other animals, other people etc they are extremely tolerant.

- But there is not any day that goes by where I donโ€™t monitor how my dogs and other people interact with each other. There are rules and boundaries.

- Itโ€™s famous lasts words! I hear all the time! My dog wonโ€™t bite, my horse wonโ€™t kick. (I hear that one too about horses) ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ

- Sorry for being so grim but I just want to remind everyone, dogs are dogs they have teeth, they have their own feelings and tolerance bubble. They are dogs not robots. And yes ALL dogs do and can bite. It is important to learn the stress signs and to be able to release pent up and stressed energy. (Exercising themselves around the back yard unattended is not exercise) ๐Ÿ˜‚, I donโ€™t care how big the back yard is. ๐Ÿ™ˆ๐Ÿ™ˆ

Anyhoo. Itโ€™s a good educational video. Sad the little girl got bitten. But this bite was definitely more a warning. Like p**s off I donโ€™t like it. I have told you 1000x and you didnโ€™t listen.

I donโ€™t know about you but I mean if people didnโ€™t listen to my warning signs about me getting annoyed or setting a boundary at something I would probably bite too ๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿ˜‚

What are your thoughts?

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ The other day I saw a Dachshund losing its absolute mind; barking, growling, being completely aggressive with the intent to shred another dog passing by (in a public place).

๐Ÿ˜‘ The owner picked up the dog, a few other people laughed and said โ€œoh he is fiestyโ€ and it proceeded to carry on.

๐Ÿค” It had me thinking about how the public react if that was my Stafford, or a Rottweiler, or a GSD.

๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ I fully believe the public would be frightened, they would avoid me, probably report my dog and ask me to leave.

๐Ÿ•ณ๏ธ Then I fell down a rabbit hole and went one step further. If, say, that Dachshund broke free and attacked another dog or person, what would the outcome be?

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿฝ Would it be the same outcome if my Stafford did the same thing?

๐Ÿ™…๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ ๐—ง๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜€๐˜„๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ถ๐˜€ ๐—ป๐—ผ ๐—ณ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐˜†.

โ˜๐Ÿฝ You could argue that the result of a Dachshund attack would be less serious than a Stafford attack because of sheer weight/power/dog physical makeup etc. but if both dogs were aggressive, with the same intent, WHY would we treat the dogs differently?

๐Ÿ‘Ž๐Ÿฝ The reality is that some breeds get a free ride. Iโ€™ve met total jerks of Oodles, Corgis, Poms, Chi Chis, Daxys, Golden Retrievers etc that could get away with being aggressive and an absolute menace to society.

โ˜๐Ÿฝ But let me tell you, should my Stafford Lucy put so much as a toenail out of line I can always hear โ€œoh of course itโ€™s a Staffyโ€.

๐Ÿ–•๐ŸฝAnd to be honest I think itโ€™s rubbish.

๐Ÿ• Dogs are dogs. Little dogs should be held to the same level of accountability as larger dogs. As should different breeds. A Labradoodle should be expected to have to same level of social respect as an American Staffy in public.

๐Ÿ’ญ What are your thoughts? Does your breed cop it? Or do you get away with crappy behaviour because your breed of dog is more socially accepted?
