DOG FACT Wednesday!
🐶 “Dog years” vary a lot, based on breed 🐶
Every dog year does not automatically equal seven human years, as one of the most well-known fun facts about dogs would have you believe. The saying—which does have some factual merit—came from observations that “average,” medium-sized dogs tended to live around one-seventh as long as their owners.

However, dogs come in all shapes and sizes, and what’s “average” for a Great Dane is very different from what’s “average” for a Chihuahua. Paying attention to the “life stages” of dogs, and how they correspond to each breed, will give you a much better picture of how “old” your dog actually is than equating one human year to seven dog years.

DOG FACT Wednesday!
🐶 Sticking out your hand isn’t the best way to introduce yourself to a new dog 🐶
This is another of the fun facts about dogs that aren’t quite true. You probably grew up believing that the old “hold out your hand to an unfamiliar dog and let it smell you” advice was gospel. And it can work, but you have to be careful how you do it.

Just shoving your hand toward a strange dog’s face can scare or alienate them. You’re better off letting the dog approach you first and then offering your hand to the dog to smell, rather than assuming she wants to and waving your hand under her nose. And approach the dog from the side, rather than from straight on, if you must approach it yourself.

DOG FACT Wednesday!
🐶 Dogs don’t actually have it out for cats 🐶
Media portrayals of these furry frenemies would have you believe that chasing cats is hardwired in dogs’ DNA. But it’s not specific to cats; dogs’ evolutionary hunting instincts are the reason they chase after anything small and speedy, whether it’s their favorite ball or little Tiger. And dogs and cats can actually get along great, even in the same household, depending on the animals themselves and whether you introduce them the right way.

DOG FACT Wednesday!
🐶 A dog’s yawn is not quite the same as a human’s yawn 🐶
When your dog lets out a big yawn, you probably just assume it means what it does when we yawn—that he’s sleepy. And it certainly can be a sign of tiredness, but dogs yawn for other reasons as well. Dogs yawn to calm themselves down, so repeated yawns could be a sign that your pup is feeling anxious or stressed out. It’s similar to the way a cat’s purr can mean lots of different things, so assessing the context of the situation can usually help you figure out what’s going on.

DOG FACT Wednesday!
🐶 Your dog responds to your tone 🐶
Don’t forget that dogs don’t experience the full breadth of emotions humans do, so if you’re trying to train or admonish your dog, taking an angry tone and a very loud voice might just make him skittish. The speech, tone, rhythm and pitch of your voice are far more important” than what you’re actually saying. That’s also a big part of the reason dogs respond positively to that high-pitched cute-pet speak.

DOG FACT Wednesday!
🐶 Dogs hating the Postman is nothing personal 🐶
Dogs are a protective species, and they understandably see a person coming near their house and placing unfamiliar objects in a box as a potential threat. And it’s often made worse, not better, by the fact that the mail carrier comes repeatedly—dogs figure out approximately when the mail carrier arrives and then get riled up and antsy beforehand.

To save your mail carrier from undue canine aggression,we recommend being friendly to them, around your dog, so that your dog can see that you trust them. You can also let your postman know what your dog’s name is so that he can properly address your dog.

DOG FACT Wednesday!
🐶 Dogs aren’t actually color-blind 🐶
This is one of the most common dog “facts” that are actually false. Despite a prevailing myth that dogs can only see in black and white, your pooch actually can see a spectrum of color. While they do have trouble distinguishing between different shades of green and red, which will mostly just appear as grays and browns, blue and yellow tones are relatively clear to dogs.

DOG FACT Wednesday!
🐶 Don’t get so touchy-feely 🐶
Of course, you love your good boy or girl so much. But they actually don’t love it when you give them big bear hugs. “The way people show love is not the same way a dog shows love or wants to receive love. In fact, it can be very stressful. Dogs can adapt and become comfortable with their loved ones hugging them, but you should still be careful about giving hugs to a dog you don’t know well, and about letting strangers hug yours. You might be surprised to learn some other things you do that your dog actually hates.

DOG FACT Wednesday!
🐶 Dogs get jealous 🐶
“You’re not imagining it if you think your dog is acting jealous when you give other dogs attention,” It might not be exactly how we experience jealousy, but research has shown that it’s similar to how an infant might get jealous.” That certainly tracks with dogs’ intelligence being on par with that of a toddler. This dog jealousy is something dog groomers experience when they come home to their own dogs—and it’s one of the things pet groomers wish you knew.

A New Life For Rescue Dog "Teddy"

This Dachshund is Teddy who was rescued by one of our clients. We thrive on making our dog understand what their purpose are in the family whether their working, training or simply our beloved companion. A dog who's been through different aspect of purposes in their life due to different families will struggle to know how to fit in. This is a great example of Teddy through fundamentals of training we discovered how we can please him through training and obedience to find his purpose. #dachshund #dachshundlife #basiccommands #dogtraining #wales #dogbehaviourtraining #dogbehaviourist #dogbehaviour #rescuedog #petlovers #dogtrainer
