Mary's Day Care For Dogs

23/08/2024

Although rawhide chews come in lots of fun shapes and sizes, your dog can easily chew off and swallow large pieces, leading to a potential choking hazard or intestinal obstruction. What’s even worse is how rawhide is created. Rawhide is a by-product of the leather industry and is often washed and sterilized with a variety of (often harmful) chemicals, such as sodium sulfide, lime, chromium salts, bleach, and hydrogen peroxide. It is then molded and dyed to form what you see in stores today.
Please avoid them at all cost, no matter how pretty they market them!

Hi everyone ,
Long post warning .
There is no easy way to say this .
Im sorry to say , I am giving up dog sitting .
I’ve been trying to wind things down since last Christmas and as some of you already know I wanted to be wrapped up by this Christmas .
I will still be looking after family and a few close friends dogs for holidays occasionally and a couple of day care dogs so you will still see a few posts from time to time .
I’m very grateful for the trust you have all shown me and I have absolutely loved caring for your dogs over the last 9 years . It’s a very special privilege and I will cherish the memories and the relationships I have with all of the dogs and friendships I have made .
I have already mentioned this to some of you and
people have been asking if I know of any one to recommend and honestly , I don’t .
Breed specific groups , local community pages and breeders may have some great suggestions .
I’m honoring the bookings that I have in already up until including Christmas 2024 but won’t be and haven’t been taking any more bookings.
I was supposed to be finished by last August school holidays but you know how hard I find it to say no .
I have lost 7 of my dogs in the last 10 months and that has helped me be strong in moving forward .
To the people I have already had the opportunity to connect with about this , I want to thank you for your kindness and well wishes for my future , it means a lot to me . I’m rebuilding my beauty business and fingers crossed I have another business I have been wanting to create so very exciting times .

Thank you all once again from the bottom of my heart 🙏🏻🐾♥️
Mary and Boki

DON’T TOUCH MY STUFF!
Resource guarding – also called possessive aggression

We all guard our resources, it’s a natural reaction to a threat of something we value being taken away.

It’s essential for survival and dogs or other animals would not survive in the wild if they didn’t guard their resources.

We also don’t get to decide what’s valuable and what’s not – different things have different value to different dogs and at different times.

Food is usually the most common, but toys, furniture, different items, places, or even a certain person are all things that may be seen as a valuable resource.

A dog turning their head away, freezing, a hard stare, whale eye, moving away, growling or snapping may quickly escalate into a serious bite in an attempt to protect that valuable possession.

Punishing or forcing a dog to give something up is probably one of the worst things to do.

Resource guarding is rooted in the emotion of fear – the fear of that resource being taken away.

Punishment and force further increase that fear, which only increases and reinforces the need to protect that resource.

When a dog is guarding food or an object, we can change the negative emotion of that fear into a positive one by swopping or trading something that has a similar or higher value than what the dog has.

This is one of the most effective ways to address resource guarding of objects as it works at the root cause of the behaviour by changing the emotional response.

A dog resource guarding a person is more complicated to address. A full history of the individual dog, family dynamics, attachment styles, situation and environment all have to be assessed before planning and working on a solution.

Resource guarding can usually be prevented, managed and addressed and by starting early, understanding why dogs feel the need to resort to this behaviour and doing what we can to prevent it from happening in the first place.
