Artie getting a gift π
πΌ early celebrating the winter solstice. Too many gifts on one day are too much so we spread the joy and giftsπ. Artie quite a heavy chewer of toys so trying out a tough Kong toy from @woofstokittys β€οΈ

Just been to @woofstokittys to get some Christmas gifts for my happy hounds. For a Friday treat they each have a dried venison stick to get on with while unpack some the super strong and fun Kong toys and other enormous and delicious chews and treats π₯°ππ

Sometimes Vera and I need to call Trevor back as he goes too far for comfort, she doesnβt like when weβre not all together β€οΈβ€οΈππ₯°πΎ

Simple and enjoyable enrichment, dogs enjoy and need things to lick, chew, explore, taste, feel and smell daily. Licking and chewing are calming and relaxing β€οΈπΎ

Given choice and autonomy dogs enjoy to explore slowly, sniff, observe, jump, move freely and just enjoy @slowdogmovement . Being quiet, mindful and just enjoying the moment is good for us too β€οΈπ₯°πΎ

Vera is quite a character and lucky enough to have some amazing friends who she truly trusts and loves β€οΈ. Adopting and giving rescue dogs the chance to live their best lives being loved and understood is incredible, takes time and feeling safe to develop such wonderful bonds π₯°πΎ

New toy for Vera to explore, itβs simple, just a Velcro flower and open to get the treat. Enrichment and puzzles should be enjoyable not frustrating or over exciting. Something nice to think about and ensure dog is fed before so no frustration due to hunger β€οΈπΎπ #rescuedogsrock #dogfun #adoptdontshop #giveadogahome #dog #doglove
Dog communication is so interesting, Vera having a little chat with the boys, the boys donβt seem particularly interested but are polite using head turns and Artie always is looking at me π₯°. Many rescue dogs may have awkward social skills if theyβve never learned or had the opportunity to learn. Making dogs feel safe, give loads of time and space and observe πΎβ€οΈπ₯°

Fun and interesting 2 days of CPD, always good to learn more. Thank you to @dogandbone_uk for organising and to Simone Mueller for being so generous with her knowledge πβ€οΈπΎ
Harness and long lead = relaxed and happy walk, studies show clearly that longer leads = lower pulse rate and short lead = higher pulse rate. Relaxed dogs walk better.
