🌈 Progress: The Beautiful Journey of Growth 🌈

Remember, progress in any endeavor - whether it's learning, training, or even building relationships - is never a straight line. It's about getting to know each other a little better every day, recognizing that each day brings something new. This journey is true for our interactions with our cherished dogs, where we strive to balance our needs with theirs in a dance of understanding and compassion. 🐾💖

Every day offers us a fresh start, a new opportunity to make it the best one yet for everyone involved. It's about working tirelessly, celebrating the small victories, and learning from the challenges. Building a relationship, getting to know each other's quirks and qualities, and striving for harmony requires daily effort, patience, and a lot of love. Let's cherish this journey, embracing the unpredictable path of growth and mutual discovery. 🚀❤️🐕

🐶🎄 During holiday festivities, Westpaw Toppls are an excellent way to help our pups relax in their own cozy retreat, their "safe zone." 🏡✨

Amidst the hustle and bustle, designate a quiet area with their bed, toys, and water, where your dog can unwind away from guests and noise.

Get creative and involve your pup in choosing Toppls ingredients! Offer them choices like fruits, veggies, frozen sardines, quail eggs, yogurt, peanut butter, or wet dog food. Let them decide which ingredients to pick by presenting two dishes with one ingredient each and see which one they pick first! First pick goes into the Toppl. Continue the ingredient selection until you have a good mix and a full Toppl.

For ingredient safety, check out Pet Poison Helpline's website if unsure.
Easily prepare frozen treats using Kongs, Westpaw Toppls, muffin tins, or lick mats.

No tools? No problem! Stuff apples with treats and peanut butter, then freeze.

Your pooch will adore these special holiday treats packed with nutritious goodies like cottage cheese, sardines, quail eggs, cornish hen feet, blueberries, raspberries, apples, and of course, peanut butter! 🍏🐾




Well said The Mutty Professor 🙏🏻🥳

Well said The Mutty Professor 🙏🏻🥳

A new study 'reveals' that dogs can pull more when wearing a harness.

No s**t Sherlock!

The outcome of this study should be :

Dogs pull less on a collar because the action of pulling from the neck likely causes pain.

Pulling or lunging on a collar may therefore damage a dog's neck***

Using positive reinforcement, teach your dog to walk nicely on a lead attached to comfortable equipment (that does not pinch, restrict movement nor tighten).

My preference of equipment for my own dogs and what suits the vast majority of my behaviour cases is a Y front / H back harness.

Next up.....a ground breaking study will reveal whether my eyelashes can lift heavier weights than my biceps! Stay tuned!

***Update

I wanted add more discussion on these points, so to be fair on the researchers. But, I am still frustrated. When we shift the hypothesis from 'dogs can pull more in a harness" to "the force in which dogs can pull and lunge on a collar can damage their neck" it becomes a study title that details data which may be of interest- is the force to the neck at risk of causing harm? Rather than stating the obvious!

Damage to the neck (and increasing optical pressure) is actually detailed in the introduction and discussion sections of the study and details of collars doing more damage, especially the thinner they are. This is very relevant to dogs being trained/corrected with a grot or slip lead, and it provides some useful references.

However, the title of this study will undoubtedly result in it shared by proponents of aversive/corrective training methods to support their chosen methods- and sadly I imagine many of their followers, and even they, will unlikely read as far as the discussions section to read the section on collars and neck damage.

From a welfare perspective, I think it's a real shame that, even a small hint of these really important considerations, didn't make it to the abstract or weren't woven into the reason for doing the study.

If we simply extend our dogs the benefit of the doubt and perceive their behaviour as communication rather than a crafty manipulation tactic, we might enhance our understanding of them and better fulfill their needs.

‘Perhaps our language needs to shift so that we no longer ‘walk the dog’ but rather choose, very deliberately, with loving attentiveness, to ‘walk with the dog.’ Suzanne Clothier
