Gem’s Dog Training (Group Page) …. Always good to know what’s in the food and treats we give out dogs, check out this great web page for more information

06/08/2024

So like with any career you never stop learning, tonight I was learning about diet and what effect the food we give our dogs has on not only their health, but also their general wellbeing and behaviour.
Did you know more than 80% of reactivity can be the result of pain or gut health issues, or both !

I’ve been reading The Forever Dog , what an amazing and eye opening book looking at the different dog food manufacturers , what a healthy diet is and the fact you can achieve it without breaking the bank !

Tracy Brind - Canine Senses, pointed me in the direction of a really good website where you can enter the details of your dog food and learn about the nutritional values, as well as what’s great for your dog as each dog is different … so no one true food suits all canines

Check it out for yourself at : All About Dog Food

However .... Remember that continued training is what gets you results, dogs are learning 24/7, just like us. So sticking to criteria is key, otherwise you just end up confusing them !

Paying it Forward .... what is it ?

It is all about giving something back, doing something for someone else because you can do it & someone may need it ... for no other reason than that !

The Moody Cow. Allonby are supporting me to do just this ... over the years I have come across different people who have pups, adolescent dogs, or senior dogs , that sometimes leave them frustrated or bewildered as to what to do with them.

Some are so frustrated they just don't want to come out with them, which makes me sad 🥲
In a bid to help others like those I have met, working together with the Moody Cow, we have planned out monthly 121 Training Clinics, giving 20 mins per person of completely devoted time.

Now... just to be clear ... a 20 minute 121 will never 'Fix' any problem, even if TV makes it seem this way ! However, it will give those in need a chance to chat about their struggle, or worries about their dogs & in some cases set out strategies they could implement to help make it better & manage situations.

If you know of someone who could benefit from a chaat, please pass on the following link to book in & regain some sanity !

Solar storms and how it may impact your dogs.

Scientific studies have repeatedly demonstrated that dogs are sensitive to geomagnetic changes.

Currently the earth is experiencing a powerful solar storm. It's effects on our dogs should not be underestimated. Especially our sensitive working dogs who are bred to have a heightened sense of direction. Dogs who are anxious or nervous may experience exacerbated symptoms. Dogs are sensitive to even small changes in the earth's magnetic field, this current storm is big and disruptive.

Epileptic dogs and people may be affected. There is a huge body of evidence relating to solar storms and seizures, have a little Google, there's too many relevant bits of literature to post here.

What can you do? Dogs are at increased risk of becoming disorientated in new environments, keep them on lead, in sight, have a heightened awareness of where they are. For dogs who rely on their sense of direction for work such as sheepdogs working hills, search and rescue dogs, tracking dogs, hunting dogs and trail dogs, it might be worth evaluating putting off any work where a dog may get lost. This is not me being a f***y either, I've already heard of a couple of normally savvy dogs becoming lost and disoriented in the north of Scotland, out of character for them.

In humans existing mental health conditions can worsen temporarily, particularly conditions caused by or associated with trauma, where your integral ability to orientate becomes distrupted and makes you feel unsafe, increasing anxiety and hypervigilance. This change in your presentation can also impact your dogs.

Just something to be aware of. As much as it sounds like hippy woo woo nonsense, I can assure you, it's a thing.

"the idea that animals can detect Earth’s magnetic field has traveled the path from ridicule to well-established fact in little more than one generation. Dozens of experiments have now shown that diverse animal species, ranging from bees to salamanders to sea turtles to birds, have internal compasses. Some species use their compasses to navigate entire oceans, others to find better mud just a few inches away."
