Halloween can be a fun time, but it can also be stressful and dangerous for dogs. Costumes can be uncomfortable or even frightening to them, and unfamiliar visitors or noises can lead to anxiety. Always ask 'What does my dog get out of this?' Keep sweets and decorations out of reach, as many ingredients like chocolate and xylitol are toxic to dogs. Create a safe, quiet space for them to retreat if the hustle and bustle become too overwhelming. Remember, Halloween is supposed to be enjoyable for everyone, including our furry friends.

Many people will argue that Force Free isn't possible due to having to put ear drops into a dog's ears, needing to split up a dog fight or shouting at a dog who is about to run in front of a car.

These are silly arguments really. Of course, there are times when we use force and there are always times when we use boundaries or enforce rules. But these are not the same as teaching our dogs. It's like saying that a school teacher can't be force-free because they may have to pull a child away from getting run over.

How we decide to teach is not the same as what we do in emergency situations.

As behaviorists and trainers, The Dog Geeks often come across dogs who have been labeled stubborn but are actually in pain.

Pain can be extremely difficult to diagnose in dogs and is often missed with general vet checks. Behaviours such as refusing to go on a walk, not walking on certain flooring, and having difficulty learning new tasks, or remembering older ones. Dogs in pain will sometimes refuse to walk certain ways on their walks and can often appear to not be listening.

If any of these things sound familiar then we recommend that you go and see a physiotherapist or a pain specialist.

Here at The Dog Geeks we use a holistic approach with the dogs we support and would love for you to become part of our supportive community.

We have had a few cases of mycotoxin poisoning recently. Its not a poisoning that folks are generally familiar with, so we thought we'd share the information to raise awareness.-

Ingestion of mouldy food from the bin or a compost pile puts dogs, cats, horses, livestock, and even wildlife at risk for toxicity due to tremorgenic mycotoxins. These toxins may be found in MOULDY bread, pasta, cheese, nuts, or other decaying matter like compost. Clinical signs include vomiting, agitation, incoordination, tremors, seizures, and elevated body temperature. A specific mycotoxin called aflatoxin can even cause liver failure. Be sure to keep mouldy food and compost out of your pets reach!
