Morning walks before the hot heat.

It's going to be a hot one today. Be sure to walk or exercise your dogs when it's cool out, early in the am or late in the pm.
Make sure your dog has access to shade, plenty of fresh water.

With temperatures climbing here in the Northern Hemisphere, it's crucial to know the signs of heat stroke in our dogs.🔥🐶⁠

Prevention is key! 🌊 Make sure your dog has access to shade, plenty of fresh water, and avoid excessive exercise on overly hot days.⁠

If you suspect heat stroke, act quickly! Move your dog to a cool area, offer water, and seek immediate veterinary care.⁠

Let's keep our dogs safe and ensure we all have have a cool and enjoyable summer! ☀️🐾

We had so much fun playing in one of the many private off leash dog parks today! What a wonderful facility!

THE LOOK AWAY
Looking away is one of the calming signals in dog body language.

Just like a hard stare or prolonged eye contact may be a sign that a dog’s about to react, looking away is meant to calm a situation down.

The head position when looking away will vary – from side to side, holding in one position or subtle quick turns are all common variations, all while avoiding direct eye contact.

I have often watched in fascination when one of my dogs uses this form of communication with an insect! Her favourite thing to do is to hunt, catch and then play with a Parktown Prawn (King Cricket).

She means them no harm (I think) and just wants to engage in a game of how high can you jump before I can catch you.

She will carefully carry the cricket in her mouth without hurting it to the middle of the garden where there are no bushes where it may escape to.

After a quick play bow (from her, not the cricket!) the games begin. The game can go on for some time and when the cricket gets tired or plays dead, she will stop playing, sit quietly, avoid eye contact and keep looking away before starting the game again.

By this time, I usually feel really sorry for the cricket, will rescue it and put it out of reach, but I think this is a good example of how she uses the body language of looking away to try to calm the situation down, even if her intentions are completely selfish! I have no idea if the cricket understands what she is trying to communicate.

Body language can be subtle and fleeting, but with careful observation and knowing what to look for most of us can learn to recognize and interpret what our dogs are saying.

It’s always important to look at the context, the situation and especially what the rest of the body is doing when deciphering this amazing language.

Being able to understand a dog’s emotional state through their body language helps us to predict behaviour, prevent potential problems or allows us to just enjoy observing their language.

JUST SHAKE IT OFF
Dogs constantly communicate through their body language.

A “shake off” is one of the many types of body language and is one of the easier ones to notice.

The shake off can provide us with important insights as to how our dogs are feeling.

Besides being a very effective way to get rid of dirt, pesky bugs and water - dogs can remove up to 70% of water in one single shake off - the shake off is often seen just after something that a dog needs a mental reset from.

It’s a way to flush out adrenaline and could be compared to us taking a deep breath to reset our nervous system and calm ourselves down.

Dogs instinctively know they feel better when they just shake it all off!

It’s their way of saying “Phew, I’m glad that’s over, now I can put it behind me and move on”.

Shaking off is a positive way to calm down, reset and cope with stress – be that negative or positive stress.

Sometimes a shake off could be due to an underlying medical reason like an ear infection, allergy, itching or pain.

If you notice a shake off, look at what has just happened beforehand. This will provide a good clue as to what it is that your dog needs to reset from.

With Spring's arrival (whenever that might be 🙄❄️😤) comes the growth of new grass 🌱 and many dogs love the taste.

Dogs eat grass for a variety of reasons - if it's frantic to induce vomiting it's a sign of an upset stomach.
If that's a regular occurrence you want to look at:

▶️diet (potentially too much fat and/or a need for more fiber)
▶️indiscriminate eating - spring thaw means pretty gross things that have been buried under the snow for months are now appearing -ensure there isn't something in your yard that your dog has found.
▶️ consider a vet visit if it doesn't resolve.

For dogs who simply like the taste of the new 🌱 shoots, and don't vomit after, there's nothing wrong with eating some grass. But, potential pesticides and chemicals on the grass can be a concern.

🌱If your dog doesn't have a safe area to graze try adding a small amount of pulverized leafy greens or microgreens to your dog's bowl to provide fiber, chlorophyll and beneficial phytonutrients. If you make green juices for yourself you can add a small amount to your dog's bowl.

📌 Note that leafy greens tend to soften stool so start with just a small amount and build up slowly as you monitor stools.

🌎🐾 Happy Earth Day!

Here's a friendly gardening tip: Consider adding lavender, sage, mint, wormwood, rosemary, and marigolds to your yard. These lovely plants not only beautify your space but also naturally deter fleas and ticks, creating a more enjoyable outdoor environment for you and your furry loved ones.

DO DOGS RECOGNISE & PREFER SIMILAR BREEDS?
If you have ever taken your dog out to where there are other dogs, you may have noticed that some dogs are more attracted to particular breeds.

Why is this? Although there is no formal research that concludes that dogs are more attracted to certain breeds and not others, I believe there is a plausible explanation for this.

Individual breeds have unique face and body shapes, use different styles of body language and have different ways of playing which a similar breed recognises and relates to. They simply understand the finer details of each other’s language.

The communication style makes perfect sense to them, but may not be as well understood by other breed types.

A negative or positive past experience with a particular breed may also have an impact on a dog’s perception and reaction to that breed.

When I take my Schnauzers out, they get very excited if they see other Schnauzers and immediately want to go over to say hello. They do the same with Airedale Terriers, Scotties and Maltese, but tend not to be interested or keep away from other breeds.

Have you noticed that your dog seems to naturally understand or communicate more easily with dogs of their own breed or similar type?
