It's so important to understand any trauma your newly adopted or rescued dog may have experienced, which may lead to behavioural, psychological and even neurological disorders.

Key points:
🐾Harsh early life experiences have residual effects on the emotions and behaviors of dogs.
🐾Dogs who had a harsh early life are more fearful of strangers and of non-social events, such as loud noises.
🐾Early life hardship makes adult dogs more clingy and dependent upon their owner for emotional support.

At Dogology, we have designed a very special program for Your New Rescued Dog. It's highly recommend to commence this program as soon as possible when you bring home your very special dog.





Psychology Today

A history of early life adversity results in adult dogs that are more fearful and more dependent upon their owners for comfort and emotional support.

Very sad and tragic outcome for the family and dog.

The dog was not bought from an ANKC registered breeder.

Buying pets online is extremely risky . This is how back yard breeders and puppy farms operate.

A registered ANKC breeder would not sell directly online. You would be requested to meet the breeder and dogs before purchasing .The dogs will be vaccinated, wormed and microchipped, and all their documentation supplied.

THE PERILS OF PUNISHMENT

It’s easy to stop or suppress a behaviour by using punishment, force or pain and say that it really works, so why even bother to do it differently?

Punishment based methods may well “fix” the behaviour quickly, are far easier, require far less effort, less knowledge, less education, or even just be based on traditional belief, but these methods come at a great cost - destroying trust, creating insecurity, fear, anxiety, provoking aggression, causing dogs to shut down or feel helpless and prevent dogs from learning an alternative, more acceptable behaviour.

There is so much modern, scientific evidence to support force free, positive reinforcement methods as being the most effective and successful way to modify behaviour.

There is nothing admirable, ethical or intelligent in physically or emotionally forcing any sentient being to comply.

Take the time and make a commitment to understand and learn about positive, force free, science-based methods.

Take notice!!!

🐡 The Animal Poisons Helpline expects a seasonal increase in the number of calls regarding pufferfish exposure over summer. Pufferfish, also known as toadfish, blowfish or simply blowies, can be very attractive to pets. Dogs have been known to quickly eat washed up pufferfish before their owners can stop them. Sometimes pet owners may be unaware that their pet has ingested a pufferfish until they develop signs of poisoning soon after a visit to the beach.

Most pufferfish are toxic when ingested. They contain a highly potent neurotoxin known as tetrodotoxin in their organs and skin. Pufferfish ingestion can be life-threatening and result in a rapid onset of paralysis which typically begins in the back legs and progresses forward to the respiratory muscles. Other signs of poisoning may include vomiting, tremors and possibly seizures.

We would like to remind all dog owners to be cautious with their pets whilst visiting the beach. Keeping your dog leashed is a good idea and can be a useful strategy to prevent your dog eating beached pufferfish, jellyfish and other poisonous marine creatures such as sea hares. Whilst on the beach, always observe your pets and do not allow them to approach washed-up fish. To the fishing enthusiasts, please immediately return any pufferfish that are caught to the water rather than leaving them behind where dogs may eat them.

If your pet has ingested a pufferfish, they require urgent veterinary attention. Do not wait for signs of poisoning to develop. Whilst ensuring the wellbeing of your poisoned pet is paramount, veterinary care for poisoning can often be costly. Pet insurance provides peace of mind and protection in these events. The Animal Poisons Helpline is proudly sponsored by Bow Wow Meow Pet Insurance, who are currently offering two months of their Nose-to-Tail Cover for free in the first year of coverage for Helpline followers.
