Summer class schedule is up! I am excited to be teaching outside.

05/29/2022

Imagine if we treated our barking dogs like Lassie.

What's that Nero, you need something?
Thank you for letting me know.
I'm going to go get that for you right now.

Although Lassie was a caricature of a dog there is a lot of validity in the interactions between Lassie and Timmy. Lassie was trying to communicate - and for the most part Timmy always listened.

Unfortunately, we don't always offer our own dogs the same courtesy.

I certainly learnt my lesson from all those episodes of Lassie I watched as a child!

Our dogs bark to communicate with us.

When my dogs bark at me, I quickly run down a list in my head of what might be the reason so that I can address it for them.

Are they hungry?
Are they thirsty?
Do they want to play?
Are they overtired?
Do they want some affection?
Do they need to go outside?
Have they done enough today?
Do they need some comfort?
Have I spent enough time with them today?
Do I have something they want?
Is there something going on outside?

There are many reasons why your dog may bark at you and none of them are because they are just trying to annoy you.

So when your dog is barking at you - be like Timmy and try to figure out what they're saying.

Image description: A brown GSP dog with a collar and lead staring intently behind the camera.

Text reads: Adolescence is a time for patience, not push. The frontal cortex is still developing during adolescence and so a young dog’s ability to control its own behaviour is not yet fully developed. This can be mistaken for naughtiness.

Shake it…shake it off…

A recent study by two researchers in France looked at sniffing, pulse rate, and leash length on walks. Sixty-one dogs were taken on three separate walks, five minutes each walk, once with a 1.5m leash, once with a 5m leash, and once without a leash at all (walk order was randomized for each dog). Off-leash dogs sniffed the most, more than 3x as long as the dogs on short leashes. Dogs on long leashes spent nearly as much time as unleashed dogs sniffing, almost 3x as long as dogs on short leashes.

This study also found that sniffing resulted in lowered pulse rates, and the more intensely they sniffed, the more their pulse rates lowered. Pulse rate was also lowered when dogs “shook off” during walks on all leash lengths. The “shake off” behavior was often seen when the dog’s pulse rate was particularly high.

What else can we learn about dogs from their walking behavior? Take your best friend on a Sniffari and see what you observe!
