Reactive dog❓💥
I know so many people really do struggle with reactive dogs.
This looks a bit complicated.....but there is also a video attached in the comments that helps go through this step by step.
If you feel like you are banging your head against a brick wall and NOTHING is helping....try this and add both steps talked about in the video.
You really CAN make a huge difference.

How would you feel if you were forced to walk barefoot while wearing a fur coat in the middle of a scorching Perth summer day? 🐶

We've received numerous reports since last week's heatwave about pet owners who are taking their dogs out for a walk in the middle of a scorching day. And, with how high the temperature climbed today and how high it'll remain for the rest of the week, we are worried for the dogs of WA. 😟

As the temperature rises, so does the surface temperature on pavements, roads, and sand. Aside from discomfort and pain, dogs can suffer burnt paws from walking on extremely hot surfaces. ❤️‍🩹

If you aren't sure if it's safe, you can protect your hound by checking the ground before the walk; if you can't keep the palm of your hand on the ground comfortably for five seconds, it's too hot to safely walk your dog!

Please, if you need to walk your dog, save it for the early morning hours of the day or after the sun has set in the evening. Keep walks short, ensure that you have plenty of water for your dog to drink, and that you stick to a route with grassy areas and shaded pathways to help protect their paws and keep them cool.

Let's keep our pets safe and comfortable in the summer heat! Help us get the word out! ❤️🐕‍🦺

🎤⬇️ BUT....the really tricky thing with this is we can also reward what we do NOT want and that can start a whole new issue.
Timing is key.
Is there another behaviour being shown when you reward ❓If a dog jumps to get a reward, have you inadvertently rewarded using paws on you?
If there is barking, have you accidently begun to reward that ? Even with touch?
Every dogs reward system is different, many dogs will enjoy food while others really do have their own currency, such as a toy or praise.

Whilst extendable leads can give your pet the freedom to explore, they should be used with caution. 🌳

☀️🕶️ It’s getting warmer, which means it’s extra important to remember to NEVER leave your pet unattended in a car 🐶🚗

‼️ 6 minutes is all it takes. Don't risk it ‼️
A dog can die in a hot car in less than six minutes. Keep your pets safe this summer.

The facts you need to know 👇
🚗 Cars can reach up to 73 degrees celsius on a hot summer’s day
🐶 Pets can still overheat even when the windows are down or the car is parked in a shaded area
🔥 Ute trays can burn your pet’s footpads or body (unlike humans, pets can’t escape from the heat when they get too hot, especially when they are tied to the back of a ute)
🖐 Do the hand test! If you can't put your hand on a surface for longer than 5 seconds without it burning, it is too hot for your pet to walk on!

Poinsettia, also known as the Christmas flower, is a flowering plant species belonging to the spurge family. It is particularly well known for its striking red and green leaves and is widely used in Christmas floral displays to add a touch of colour during the festive season. With the holiday season upon us, the Animal Poisons Helpline anticipates an increase in companion animal exposures to this plant.

While poinsettia is commonly “hyped” as highly poisonous plants, exposures are rarely severe, and the poisoning is greatly exaggerated. Poinsettia produces a white milky sap that contains numerous irritant compounds. The sap is released from the plant when it is chewed on, and can cause irritation of the gastrointestinal tract. Affected animals may start drooling and vomiting may occur if the plant material has been swallowed. The milky sap may be irritating to the skin. Eye exposure to the sap may cause significant irritation and potentially ulceration of the eye.

Whilst it is not necessary to remove this plant from the home, pet owners should be mindful to;

✅ Wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling these plants prior to touching your pet.

✅ Keep flower displays or pots with these plants in areas that cannot be accessed by pets.

✅ Not gift poisonous plants or bouquets to pet-owning friends or family. This is especially true when it comes to lilies (true lilies and day lilies) and cats.

The Animal Poisons Helpline provides free advice to pet owners in Australia and can be reached on ☎️1300 869 738 (AU), 0800 869 738 (NZ), 3106 4216 (SG) or (917) 722-5958 (US). If you are a member of a veterinary team in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore or the United States, you can join the Animal Poisons Centre For Vets Facebook group which is regularly updated with toxicology tidbits and poisoning trends. We thank the Western Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development for supporting this post.

Is it play ?
That looks a bit rough....is it still ok ?
This is one of those areas where we can misread, or be concentrating SO much on our dog that we pay little to no attention to the other dog, or dogs.
Play really needs to be looked at as a whole picture.
If you are scared to even let your dog play, I understand....it can be scary....there is a brand new video in the comments about how to SAFELY introduce dogs.

What's the big deal ❓What have they got to do with my dogs reactivity ❓
Pain 💥
If you can hear "click clack" on a hard surface, your dogs nails cannot go into the surface, so that pressure and force can go back up right into their feet.
The toes can splay because they cannot do anything else BUT become misaligned if their nails/claws are too long.
That affects the foot, that affects the joints and that can affect a dogs behaviour.
Pain affects behaviour and yes....pain can cause reactivity.
Is it just a coincidence that when your dog leaves the soft carpet or lawn of your house and goes outside on the footpath their behaviour changes?
For some dogs, taking this simple step can make a huge difference to their reactive outbursts.
Cutting or grinding the nails can make a big difference.
If you can hear "click clack"...it really is time for the "clip clip".

🌟 Blowfish / Pufferfish Alert 🌟

Heading to the beach with your pup? While it’s a great way to enjoy the sunshine, be on the lookout for blowfish (also known as pufferfish) washed up on the shore. These seemingly harmless fish can be highly toxic to dogs! 😱

Blowfish contain tetrodotoxin, a potent poison that affects the nervous system. Ingestion, even in small amounts, can lead to:
⚠️ Vomiting
⚠️ Muscle weakness
⚠️ Breathing difficulties
⚠️ Paralysis or worse

🔵 What to do if your dog eats or licks a blowfish:
🔹 Remain calm but act fast.
🔹 Remove any remaining fish from your dog’s mouth (if safe to do so).
🔹 See veterinary care immediately. ❗

🔵 Prevention is key:
🔹 Supervise your dog closely when exploring.
🔹 Teach a solid “leave it” command to avoid accidental snacking.

Social media can be so harsh. 💥
Lots of negative comments and posts dissing the 3x3x3 "rule".
The advice is still sound....and catchy enough to be able to be remembered, however I do understand that some people really do take things to heart and will strictly adhere to 3 days, 3 weeks etc.
I made this not to "diss" the creator of the 3x3x3 rule but to perhaps open up the conversation that every dog is unique, as is their (and your !) circumstances.
This is the time of year many people open up their homes to new dogs....I hope you find this helpful.

Love Furbabies

11 years ago our precious dog passed away and we were totally devastated. Fortunately, 3 weeks later, we found a beautiful border collie x blue heeler aged 3 yrs in need of a forever home, so we adopted her so happily. Then began an 11 yr pet love affair with her, Gary and I. She was our everything !!!! Then the terrible event happened in October when her heart gave up, alone again !!!!!

There was born the idea to sit people’s dogs whilst they go on holidays. We always made sure Jessie only went to the best kennels, but it wasn’t the, close one to one home care.

We would love to offer this to other dog owners, peace of mind !!

We have registered under an RSPCA accredited Australian Company called PetCloud who take 19% of our earnings to pay for donations to RSPCA also Comprehensive Insurance to cover us a your sitter.
