Blue skies and big cries! ☀️😭 Next week will be my last with Lexi. My business is changing and I will no longer be contract dog walking. Those who know me will understand how broken I feel about this right now but I have to listen to my body! I have total cartilage loss in my left hip and active sacroiliitis which has been causing a lot of pain for the last year.. I love all the dogs I walk like my own and after 4 yrs watching them grow from puppies I’m incredibly sad (and scared) 😭🥺 Love you Lexi pup 🖤🤍

Home from a lovely week with Teddie 💛 and Jack 🖤 Poor Ted was on rest from walks due to a cruciate ligament rupture 🥺 Meds keeping him comfy though until surgery this week and still on good form..especially around treat time! Cow tail being the winner for keeping a small dog occupied for 1hr 10mins 👏

This morning the gang found a fallen birds nest (empty but good sniffs), horses, flying treats and the racecourse water bowl that clearly needed bashing up a little more! 😅🤣

Kung foo Phoenix! 😹 This girl loves to attack me at times for no reason at all 🫣 Simply walking across the room too quickly or daring to stroke her while she approaches me for a fuss 🤣 Her cuteness overload gets her off the hook though🩷🥰

Another lovely week visiting Monsoon & Mistral 🤎🖤 We are far from the days of hiding behind the shower curtain!

08/09/2023

This last week I have had several clients working though issues that are at least partly caused by ‘ The Tennis Ball Launcher’ or flanger, wanger, flingy thingy or whatever it is you call it.

Throwing a ball is something that many if not all pet dogs owners engage in at some point, if not on a regular basis.

Quite rightly, concerns within the veterinary and behavioural professions have been raised about the mental and physical impact the launcher can have on dogs.

For me, it’s the levels of excitement and arousal these games create. The increased arousal can involve increased heart rate and adrenaline levels. Adrenaline itself should be released in short bursts, such as during a one off during a chase , but repeated ‘throw it, chase it, catch it means Adrenalin is released for much longer periods.

Repetitive chasing in this way is not a natural behaviour for any dog.

This increase of Adrenalin in turn causes an increase in cortisol levels, and can lead to ‘frantic’ behaviours as a result of reduced impulse control and frustration tolerance. Cortisol levels take a good few days days to return to normal.

Adrenaline and cortisol both play a role in the regulation of behaviour. Promoting increased production of both over a long term period can trigger problematic and behaviours. No ‘off switch’, lack of frustration tolerance and general erratically behaviour.

Due to this ( and because they are being conditioned to behave in a certain way to get their ‘reward’ )you may find your dog plays ‘keep away’ and wants to be ahead of you to the distance where they usually have their ball thrown.

They will possibly struggle to walk beside you ( want to be ahead of you)

They cannot calm down or exhibit any self control around a ball or in the place you usually throw it.

If the potential behavioural issues are not enough to help you ditch the ball thrower, the physical impact of using one can be immense.

High speed impact, uncontrolled twists and turns, rotatory force on joints etc can cause a multitude of injuries. Let’s be honest, how many times is the dog even ‘warmed up’ before embarking on such vigorous exercise?

There is soooo much more you can do with a ball or toy to work your dog mentally and physically. You can, if needed use them in certain situations if your dog is happy to wait calmly by your side. However you may find they need a ball detox for a few weeks prior to using it in a new way ☺️

Rocky Rabbit 🩶🐰🤍
His owners know what a rabbit needs… he has a large run, grass boxes, enrichment toys, a litter tray, vegetation picked from the garden and most importantly he’s handled and enjoys company!
