🎅On the first day of Christmas my true love gave to me............CHOCOLATE

Most people are aware of the dangers of your dog eating chocolate yet it is still the most common "accident" your vet will see over the Christmas period. Theobromine is found in chocolate and is toxic to dogs, the darker the chocolate the more theobromine it contains, the more toxic it is. It can cause tremors, convulsions and heart problems. Even if you suspect your dog has only eaten a tiny piece please seek veterinary advice immediately and keep the chocolate wrapper so your vets knows exactly what has been eaten.

It’s that time of the year again…….🎄🥂

At last the festive season is here and many of our houses will be full with festive food, drinks , decorations and gifts. Our dogs will be enjoying the festive season with us but there can be lots of hidden dangers for them.

🍇 Christmas pudding/cake and mince pies: Did you know that grapes are toxic to dogs and if eaten, even in a small quantity, can cause severe kidney failure. Grapes include raisins, sultanas and currants and are contained in lots of our festive goodies.

🍫 Chocolate : who doesn't love chocolate......... This contains a chemical called THEOBROMINE which is toxic to dogs and can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, hyperactivity, tremors and seizures. The darker the chocolate the more potent the theobromine becomes so make sure you keep all chocolate well out of your dogs reach

🧄 Onions, garlic, shallots, leeks and chives are all found in our Christmas food. Whether cooked or uncooked these can cause toxicity which can cause vomiting and diarrhoea. This can also cause damage to the red blood cells causing anaemia, this may not be apparent for several days

🥂 Alcohol will be enjoyed by everyone over the festive period but it must be kept out of your dogs reach. They can become wobbly and disorientated and in severe cases there is a risk of low body temperature, low blood sugar and coma.

🍭 Sweets are plentiful during the Christmas period but many of them will contain Xylitol which is an artificial sweetener and highly poisonous to dogs. This can cause the release of insulin in the body resulting in low blood sugar and liver damage. Signs can be rapid or delayed and include vomiting, lethargy, convulsions and coma. It is worth noting that Xylitol can also be found in chewing gum, toothpaste, mouthwash and plenty of our everyday food items

There will be lots of toys, plastic bits and bobs and decorations around the house and your dog will want to investigate and join in the fun. Remember things like this can be swallowed and cause an obstruction.

There are many other food hazards including blue cheese, mushrooms, fatty foods, avocado and some nuts. Some Christmas plants are also toxic to dogs such as Poinsietta, mistletoe, holly and Christmas trees

If your dog has eaten something it shouldn't or is showing any of the above signs it is essential that you seek veterinary help immediately. It is worth making a note of your vets telephone number and the emergency cover so if the worse does happen you are prepared and can make contact with the vets quickly.

Keep an eye on your dog and keep them safe during the festive period

Are you struggling to manage your dog?
Are you unsure which way to turn?
Do you feel at the end of your tether?

Dog ownership should be fun, it should enhance your life, provide enrichment and joy……..

Sadly it doesn’t always work out the way we want it to, sometimes dogs can be a challenge and sometimes they can become a chore rather than a pleasure.

Did you know that Sound Hounds have a wealth of knowledge and experience with many of the issues that you are experiencing with your dog. From not sleeping or coping alone, to jumping up and mouthing right through to reactivity around dogs we have the knowledge and skill to help.

Having worked in a rescue centre for 6 years with a huge variety of dogs with complex training and behaviour needs, our experience is hands on with a thorough understanding of how to help dogs learn a better way.

Our home consultations will offer the support you are looking for without judgement or blame, we want to help you overcome the difficulties and watch your relationship develop

We have three options for you to consider, all of which will use positive motivational training techniques and all of which are tailored to your dogs specific needs.

Single home consultation. This two-hour session will enable me to discuss at length the concerns that you are experiencing and allow me the opportunity to gather information about your dogs behaviour, history and routine. If the behaviour concerns are outside the house, I will be able to accompany you on a short walk so I can assess your dog and implement the appropriate behaviour modification programme.

Boot Camp. This is a course of three sessions and can be weekly or fortnightly depending on your dogs training requirements. The first session will last for around 2 hours with some, or all of it, at your home to enable me to gather the relevant information. I will of course be able to join you on a walk if you are experiencing difficulties outside with your dog.

The second and third sessions last for 1.5 hours and will be tailored around your dogs specific needs, these can be at your home or in a public park/area of your choice.

The training programme provided will be progressive to ensure your dogs understanding and to enable the modification to be successful.

Boot Camp Plus. This is a course of 6 sessions and like the boot camp, the first two hour session will be at your home so I can gather the appropriate information and join you for a walk if the behaviour is away from the house. The remaining five sessions are 1.5 hours each and can be weekly or fortnightly depending on the nature of the difficulties that you are experiencing, they will be held in an area that is the most relevant to your dogs behaviour.

The boot camp plus will enable me to address all areas of your dogs training and behaviour needs and will be detailed and thorough to ensure that your dogs behaviour is managed correctly.

Sound Hounds has a huge amount of regular training and socialisation opportunities available for your dog to progress on to once they are ready to be part of a group environment.

Interested?

We currently have a winter discount available on all 121 opportunities with a few appointment slots available before Christmas. Get in touch today and let us help you enjoy your dog the way that you should.
