🌟 Fostering Update 🌟

Yesterday, I had the joy of welcoming Little Waffle into our home 🏡. We took a trip to Blasford Hill Dog Park 🐾, where he explored the equipment and showed us his brave side. Despite being very wary of other dogs, he handled it like a champ with no aggression, just looking for support.

Rebecca Harrison from Rovers Dog Rescue captured this wonderful moment which has quickly become my favourite photo of the day. Thank you so much, Rebecca! 📸❤️

Back home, Little Waffle is settling in beautifully. He loves laying under the table with Hugo the Rottie, which is super cute 🥰. While he’s still figuring out how to play with the really energetic dogs, he’s watching, learning, and it won’t be long before he’s tearing up the garden with the rest of them 🐕🌿.

Welcome to the golden Paws Essex family, Little Waffle! 🐶💛

🌟 Welcome, Waffle! 🌟

We're thrilled to introduce Waffle, our latest foster at Golden Paws Essex. This adorable pup has come from a very loving family and is wonderful with children. He's settling in beautifully, and we're excited to see his sweet personality shine through in the coming days as he decompresses

Waffle is an absolute sweetheart, and we can't wait to share more updates about his journey with us. If you're interested in giving Waffle a forever home, please direct all enquiries to Rover's Dog Rescue page.

Stay tuned for more updates and let's give Waffle a warm welcome!

😺 Today, in England, it is a compulsory requirement to microchip your cat before it reaches the age of 20 weeks.

If your cat is older than 20 weeks and is not microchipped, book an appointment to have one implanted.

If your cat is already microchipped, the law also requires that the details associated with the chip be up to date, so please check that your pet's microchip details are up to date.

For more information on the requirements, click here >> https://ow.ly/QxTW50SbPFT

Choosing between kennels and home boarding for your beloved pets can be tough. But just look at the difference! 💕 On one side, we have a standard kennel, and on the other, there's me with dear Lily, an elderly dog who deserves nothing but love, Time and comfort.

At Golden Paws Essex, we treat every pet like family. They get all the cuddles, kisses, and the home comforts they deserve. No impersonal kennels here, just warm, loving homes and fluffy beds and sofas where pets are cherished. 🏡🐾

Did You Know? 🐾

Before enrolling your dog in daycare or boarding, it’s essential to ensure they are up-to-date on vaccinations! 💉 This helps keep all pets safe and healthy. Common vaccinations required include:

• Parvovirus / Leptospirosis
• Distemper
• Bordetella (Kennel Cough)

Keeping your furry friend protected ensures they have the best experience in a social setting.

🌟 National Best Friend Day 🌟

Today is all about celebrating those who make our lives extra special! 🥰 I’m blessed to have not just one, but two best friends who fill my heart with joy.

🐝 Buzz: My little man, my baby, my Buzz. Falling asleep in my arms, he reminds me daily of unconditional love. He’s more than just a pet; he’s my confidant, my cuddle buddy, and my heart in fur.

❤️ Mr. F: My husband, my partner in crime, my rock. Life with him is an adventure, filled with laughter and love. He’s my best friend in every sense of the word.

Together, they complete my world and bring endless smiles. 🥰

✨ Share a photo or story of your best friend in the comments! Let’s fill this day with love and joy. ❤️ ✨

Here are my top essentials for a perfect walk with our furry friends! 🐾 What's on your must-have list for dog walks? Let's share our tips and make every walk a fun adventure! 🐕‍🦺

05/06/2024

🐕‍🦺🐩

This is something that those of us who work as trainers or behaviour consultants encounter a lot. A client will come to us because there is a behaviour or group of behaviours that they want to stop happening.

This is fine for some behaviours. Destructive chewing can result in injury to the dog, either damage to their teeth or, in some cases, swallowing inedible items that can cause an emergency and require surgery. Chasing cars out on a walk could result in a dog managing to get into the road and run over. Pulling on the lead can make walks difficult and potentially painful for dog and human (particularly dangerous for dogs walking using collars around then neck as there are many delicate and important structures in their throats just as in ours).

The essential first step in working with any behaviour is to think about why it may be happening.

Is the dog chewing because they are young and teething? Give them something appropriate to chew and redirect them to that if they start to chew something else.

Are they destroying things when they are left home alone? They could have separation related issues, in which case it's important to work with a qualified and experienced force free trainer to reduce their anxiety.

Are they given enough opportunities to chew on a regular basis? Chewing is a natural behaviour (as is digging) and it's vital we give them plenty of opportunities to carry out natural behaviours.

Are they chasing cars because they are scared? Or is it because they are a breed that reacts to fast moving objects, like herding dogs, sight hounds, or terriers? In each case here, working with a force free trainer will help, as will finding out activities we can do with our dogs to let them chase appropriate items or control movement as they have been bred to do.

Pulling on the lead is perhaps one of the simplest (and most common) of issues and one very simple reason it happens is that dogs generally move faster than humans, and they need to be taught to match our pace. Switch to a harness to keep their neck safe and reward them when they are in the right position. Again, working with a force free trainer is a great idea as they can show the best way to mark and reward when the dog is in position and how to keep the lead loose.

Another thing that helps greatly with this is to use a longer lead and let them have more length to explore when it is safe to do so, so they can sniff and investigate their surroundings - sniffing is another natural behaviour and probably the one that is easiest for us to let them do, as we can simply let them sniff while we are out walking together.

For any behaviour that humans can find problematic before anything else we need to understand why it is happening and, if it is a natural behaviour, our responsibility as caregiver to make sure our dogs are able to do these.

🐾 National Microchipping Month Alert! 🐾

Hey lovely pet parents! Did you know June is National Microchipping Month? 🌟 It’s the perfect time to ensure your furry friends are safely microchipped and ready for any adventure! 🐶✨

At Golden Paws Essex, we are passionate about keeping our four-legged friends safe and sound. We also work closely with Rover's Dog Rescue, and we have several adorable pups that have been microchipped prior to find their forever homes. 🏡❤️

🔍 Why Microchip?
1. Legal Requirement: By law, all dogs over 8 weeks old must be microchipped. 📝✅
2. Quick Reunion: If your dog ever gets lost, a microchip is the quickest way to bring them back to you. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
3. Lifetime ID: Unlike collars and tags, a microchip is a permanent form of identification. 🎟️🔒
Join us in this mission! Get your dogs microchipped this month and help spread the word. If you know someone who needs to microchip their furry friend, send them our way. Together, we can make sure all pets are safe and sound. 💪🐕

Let's make National Microchipping Month a success! 📆✨
