We mention a lot about dog care, what to do this keep the dog well trained, but we often forget just how much our own mindset and behaviour will impact the dogs.
And so…
Dog owners should practice patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement in training. Maintaining a calm demeanor and setting clear boundaries positively influences a dog’s behavior. Consistent routines and regular exercise contribute to a stable and happy environment for the dog.

As the spring is approaching, there are a few things dog owners should be aware of- many of these might just be a reminder as you may already know many of these- however the next three posts share couple reminders ⬇️

1. Allergies: Watch for signs of seasonal allergies, such as excessive itching, sneezing, or watery eyes, and consult your vet if needed.
2. Parasites: With warmer weather, ticks and fleas become more active. Use preventive measures and check your dog regularly.
3. Spring plants: Some plants can be toxic to dogs. Be aware of what’s in your garden and keep an eye on what your dog may try to ingest.

Time is running short, the closing time to apply for exemption is 12pm (midday) on January 31st.

Don't leave it too late, there are quite a few applications being rejected for payment references not matching, this means owners are having to reapply, if you leave it until the last day you won't have time to resubmit.

When you apply for a Certificate of Exemption you must:

pay the £92.40 application fee for each dog you want to apply for – you’ll need your 10 digit payment reference number, pay first, wait for the confirmation email and copy the reference number onto your application.

have third party public liability insurance for banned breeds of dogs – you’ll need to know the start date of your insurance

You’ll need to provide the microchip number. To find the microchip number, you should check the dog’s vaccination record or ask a vet.

From 1 February 2024 it will be illegal to own an XL bully type without a certificate of exemption. You may not get your certificate in time if you leave it too late.

Please don't risk your dogs safety by missing the deadline.

You have time to arrange neutering after the exemption, if your dog was under 1 year old on December 31st, you have until the end of December 2024. If your dog was over 1 on December 31st, you have until the end of June 2024. For those on low income a neutering voucher scheme is being launched by Dogs Trust, Blue Cross and RSPCA on February 5th, this could give you a voucher of £250 off the cost of having your dog neutered.

How to deal with dogs separation anxiety:

Try and make some sounds during the day like, moving keys or jacket etc so that they don’t associate that only with you leaving the house.

Avoid big goodbyes each time you leave or it will build up anxiety and it will work as a trigger for them

Lastly give him something to chew on like a toy or bone to occupy him while you’re away, that way they will be too focused on the toy rather than fixate on you leaving
