Did you know that when the air temperature is 25°C, asphalt can reach a scorching 52°C? By the time it's 31°C outside, the pavement can sizzle at a dangerous 62°C! 🥵
Protect your furry friends' paws this summer by checking the ground temperature before walks. If it's too hot for your hand, it's too hot for their paws. Stay safe and keep your pets cool!

Benefits of Muzzle Training Your Dog
Any dog can wear a muzzle! In addition to protecting your pup from grabbing garbage, or eating poo, muzzles are safe, effective tools that can help even the friendliest dogs get through stressful situations safely.
A muzzle worn at the vet — especially if your pooch is already sick or in pain, accidents happen! — ensures the safety of your dedicated vet staff during blood draws, nail trims, and other procedures.
Muzzles can also play an important role after a vet visit. A basket muzzle is a great to prevent your pup from licking or chewing at stitches or a wound.
Muzzles can be helpful for dogs who obsessively grab and eat things off the ground while on walks or other adventures, often ending up with gastrointestinal obstructions. Does your dog eat p**p? Certain muzzles have design options to prevent them from snacking on "turd treats."
Dog breeds such as Greyhounds or other sighthounds, often wear muzzles while they are running and playing to prevent injuries from their instinctual urge to chase and grab.
Muzzles can also deter people from interacting with a fearful dog who just needs space.
Owners of dogs with behaviour histories often move more naturally and confidently when their dog is wearing a muzzle — and this is extremely important during training and behaviour modification work.
Be open minded as a dog guardian when you meet dogs with muzzles, its not all bad.
This video proves the importance of the reinforcement placement ...set your dog up for success.

This time with feeling!
It's so important when hiring a dog trainer to ask questions. Make sure that both you and your dog will be treated with kindness in a learning environment free of fear, pain & intimidation.

Repeat after me. Muzzled dogs are NOT BAD DOGS.
Muzzled dogs have good humans.
Muzzled dogs can have more experiences because they are managed. Their quality of life is INCREASED because of the muzzle.
Muzzled dogs can still have treats.
Muzzled dogs are not miserable.
Muzzled dogs are muzzled for ALL KINDS OF REASONS. Not just aggression. Maybe they eat too much stuff off the ground and get sick. Maybe they play too rough. Maybe they over correct when startled. Maybe they want to eat squirrels. Maybe they need to learn better social skills. Not all dogs in a muzzle have a bite history, some have them on to prevent that in the first place. Sometimes the muzzle is more for the HUMAN than the DOG because it allows them to feel more confident. Big dogs, small dogs, and all breeds and sizes need muzzles sometimes. It is not a breed specific tool.
Muzzled dogs are GOOD DOGS WITH GREAT HUMANS who are setting their dog up to not fail. Judging a dog in a muzzle and their owner is the same as judging someone for wearing a helmet. They are choosing safety and being proactive and it takes WORK to get your dog to a level that they are happily working and walking around in a muzzle so kudos to the humans and dogs I meet who put that time in to better their dogs lives.
If you see a dog in a muzzle, don’t stare, don’t ask rude questions, just say “nice job, great looking dog!” And carry on. Believe me, you will have just made that humans day.
Food for thought.
