The heat and humidity seem to be making a statement right now, they are not playing around! Something to keep in mind when bringing your fur baby in the car, and when you're going for a walk always remember to check the temperature of the pavement, if you can't stand to hold the back of your hand against it for more than five seconds, it's too hot for your doggies paws🐾☀️ I hope you're all enjoying the sunshine and staying cool!
This is how I feel about all of your fur babies🥰🐕🐈⬛
“When I look into the eyes of an animal I do not see an animal. I see a living being. I see a friend. I feel a soul.”

If you're looking for some enrichment toy options for your pups, this could help!🦴
It’s important for your canine companion to have enrichment, but selecting the perfect toy involves more than just grabbing the first colourful item off the shelf. Check out our blog for some helpful tips for selecting the right toy for your pup! https://bit.ly/49fYMZ0
My boy loves playing this game! Another great way to feed your dog is put the kibble in a snuggle mat, or if you have some more time, the puppy puzzle games are so good for burning some of your pups energy as well!
As somebody with a reactive dog myself, I thought this would be a good share! Behavioural issues most of the time aren't as simple as a lack of training. Our fur babies have complex emotions too and as pet parents it's our job to try to understand them🐾💕
“If your dog was trained, you could just tell them to sit and be quiet!”
This is not how reactivity works. It’s a fundamental misconception that a well-trained dog is not a reactive dog … or that a reactive dog is not well-trained.
Whether or not a dog is reactive tells you nothing about the amount of skill training they have received. A dog can *both* be able to perform challenging and complex behaviors … and have intense responses towards certain triggers.
Skill training cannot always overwrite a dog’s emotional state. A dog may be able to “sit and be quiet” with food distractions, while you’re throwing a toy or even in the presence of wildlife … but not be able to do this at all in close proximity to a trigger.
This is really important to understand for both owners of reactive and non-reactive dogs:
If you own a reactive dog, your dog is not missing “obedience training”, as reactivity is not a lack of obedience … it’s a surplus of stress.
If you do not own a reactive dog and think that reactive dog owners just don’t know how to train their dogs to behave … that is also not true. The dogs are *not* poorly *trained*. The dogs are *feeling* poorly near triggers.
Reactivity (or lack thereof) and skills (or lack thereof) are not inherently linked.
There are …
💙 Reactive and very well-trained dogs
🩵 Non-reactive and very well-trained dogs
💚 Non-reactive and poorly trained dogs
💛 Reactive and poorly trained dogs
Don’t discount a reactive dog as one who just didn’t get trained … the topic is much more complex than this.

Dogs are family🐾💕
This is something everyone should see. This xray is of a 2 week old puppy.
When you get your 8/10 week old puppies, please keep this image in mind. Their bones do not even touch yet. They plod around so cutely with big floppy paws and wobbly movement because their joints are entirely made up of muscle, tendons, ligaments with skin covering. Nothing is fitting tightly together or has a true socket yet.
When you run them excessively or don't restrict their exercise to stop them from overdoing it during this period you don't give them a chance to grow properly. Every big jump or excited bouncing run causes impacts between the bones. In reasonable amounts this is not problematic and is the normal wear and tear that every animal will engage in.
But when you're letting puppy jump up and down off the lounge or bed, take them for long walks/hikes, you are damaging that forming joint. When you let the puppy scramble on tile with no traction you are damaging the joint.
You only get the chance to grow them once. A well built body is something that comes from excellent breeding and a great upbringing-BOTH, not just one.
Once grown - around 12-18 months depending on their breed, you will have the rest of their life to spend playing and engaging in higher impact exercise. So keep it calm while they're still little baby puppies and give the gift that can only be given once.
It happens! What to do if your dog swallows their tennis ball!
Remember every second matters during a choking incident.
1. Place the dog on their back. Brace the back against the floor. Straddle the dog while adjusting yourself based on the size of the dog. Position the head in “in-line position” with the airway parallel to the floor.
2. Make an open diamond shape with your hands. Place your thumbs on either side of the trachea below the ball or object. Grip the “V” of the jaw using lip/cheek to protect fingers.
3. Push with a J-stroke down and out against the ball until it ejects from the mouth.
Both this method and the Heimlich method has been proven to work in these scenarios so don't hesitate to save your dog.
If you must leave your dog in the car on hot summer days, remember to put atleast two windows down a couple inches to make sure they have constant airflow!
Even those cute little shade tents with the vents get really hot!
