🐾 Tips for New Dog Owners: Understanding Crate Training and Alone Time 🐾

Hey everyone! I wanted to share our experience with combining crate training and teaching our rehomed pup to be comfortable alone. It definitely took some time, but it was worth it! Here's a breakdown of how we did it:

🐶 Rehomed Pup Journey: Our pup came to us at 4 months old, having been rehomed. This made crate training and alone time even more important for his adjustment and comfort.

🕒 Nap Time Routine: From day one, after playtime or a walk, we would place our pup in his crate for naps while we worked from home. This allowed him to see us, nap comfortably, and wake up when he was ready.

🚪 Transition to Alone Time: Around week two, we started training him to be alone in his crate after lunch. We began with short periods and gradually increased them as he became more comfortable.

🚽 Bathroom Breaks as Micro Training: One important aspect of our training was not allowing our pup to follow us into the bathroom. This created micro leave-alone moments and helped him learn independence gradually.

🏡 Expanding His Space: By around 7 months, when he was familiar with where to go for potty breaks, we allowed him access to more rooms. We started leaving him alone in limited spaces outside the crate, and he often chose to nap in his crate on his own.

📉 Gradual Alone Time Increases: We began leaving him alone for longer periods (20-50 minutes) around 6-7 months. This helped him get used to being alone in different parts of the house without feeling anxious.

🔍 Micro Training Sessions: We used everyday activities like throwing out the trash or stepping out briefly to reinforce his comfort with short departures.

🏠 Traveling and Alone Time: When we travel, we bring his favorite blanket to create a safe space. It usually takes a couple of days for him to adjust to a new environment before we can leave him alone comfortably.

🔊 Lesson Learned: Always be mindful of what's within reach! We had a funny incident with headphones left out, but we learned from it. Dogs explore with their mouths, after all!

Remember, patience and consistency are key when teaching your dog to be comfortable alone, especially if they've been rehomed. It's a gradual process, but it pays off in the long run.

Yesterday, we embarked on a hilarious adventure to the biggest shopping mall ever (think Reading's shopping mall on steroids x 5!). This beast of a mall is located in Recife, Brazil, and let me tell you, we got lost in there more times than we'd like to admit, trying to find the exit. 🙈

But hey, it turns out this mall is like a paradise for our furry friends! 🐾 It's super pet-friendly with all sorts of amenities. They've got a vet clinic, a pet shop with not one but two levels, and not one, but TWO cute dog cafes! 🐶☕️ And the best part? A lush green park for the dogs to do their business if needed. Talk about luxury!

Our little Fufu was a champ throughout the whole experience, and we visited all the shops we needed, totally fine having Fufu inside the shop!
The mall is so huge that even the security guards are zipping around on segways like they're in a mall patrol chase! And get this, there are floor maintenance people gliding around on inlines! 🤣

So, if you ever find yourself in Recife, Brazil, with your pup in tow, don't miss out on this massive pet paradise disguised as a shopping mall. You won't believe the fun and hilarity that awaits! 🛍️🛴🛹🐾

🐾🌍 Dogs: Brazil vs. UK 🇧🇷🇬🇧

Have you ever noticed the intriguing differences in how dogs are treated in Brazil compared to the UK? 🐶 Let's explore!

🌴🌊 Natal, Fortaleza, Rio – We've enjoyed all of our outings, and something caught our attention: the interaction between dogs, their owners, and people of all ages! 🤝

👦👧 In Brazil, dog owners and children approach each other fearlessly, getting close enough to the dogs without any worry. The questions that follow are endearing: "Does it bite?" "Is he/she friendly?" "Can I pet?" It's a culture of curiosity and respect. 🐕💕

🗣️ What's amazing is that I've heard dog owners say, "My dog doesn't like being pet," and you know what? Nobody takes offense! 🚫✋ It's perfectly fine. The understanding here is that not all dogs enjoy being touched by strangers. And that's okay!

🌍 But when did this mindset change in the Western world? 🤔 It seems that the acceptance of dogs with individual preferences didn't quite reach us.

🐶 Here in Brazil, it's completely normal to have a dog that prefers not to be petted by outsiders. It doesn't mean they're unsocialized. On the contrary, they love their fellow dogs and their pack of humans. They simply reserve their affection for those within their trusted circle. 🐺👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

💭 Let's ponder this for a moment: in a wolf pack, they wouldn't venture beyond their territory unless they sought trouble. Our dogs, too, should be entitled to their personal space without judgment. It's just natural behavior. 🚫🙅‍♂️

🌟 So next time you encounter a dog who prefers not to be petted, remember that it's their choice, and it doesn't reflect their socialization. Let's embrace their individuality and respect their boundaries. 🐾❤️

I became friends with a couple and discovered she is a VET! She has been in the industry for 17 years and was telling me how much technology has changed in the last 7 years. I had the pleasure of speaking with her over dinner and a pleasant beach walk about the differences between Argentina dog owners and British dog owners. We talked about dogs, development stages, chemical or fixed castration, cancer, and how long dogs live in Argentina, among other things. One topic we discussed extensively was neutering.

The vet was surprised to learn that many vets in the UK encourage the dog owners to have their pets neutered at the age of 5-6 months. She stated that in her practice, they do not do it until the dog is 1–1.5 years old, and they always perform an X-ray first to ensure that the plates (bones) have fully developed! They do not do the procedure before! And she knows other coworkers who refuses to do before 1yrs of age.
I was blown away! (Anyone who has read more in depth about puppy development is aware of the hormones in the plates and bones, as well as how it can lead to many health injuries later on if done too early!)
It was fascinating, and in her practice, she's seen many dogs who had early castration (before the age of one) neutering develop spine and hip problems as young as 5-7 years old.
I asked what about the cancers if you don't neuter the dogs, such as Mammary gland carcinomas, Melanoma, Lymphoma, Bone Cancer, She said, it's not super common that the dog would develop any tumor or cancer before they reach sexual maturity, until they are fully developed.
and mostly genetic, and down to parents genes,
The forms of cancer she sees now are more related to food, than ever before! and in older dogs, it's bone cancer, kidney failure of old age. Around 80% of her clients are still intact dogs!

'Dogs are dogs, it's natural to have intact dogs in Argentina. And we don't have much dog fight because the dogs are not intact. (seeing with my own eyes, I understand it, and fully agree to it) ' but would it ever work in the UK? ... I think it's too late for that.

I also asked how about dog pregnancy, is there a high rate due to the amount of intact males, she said, Nope, there not many!
How come?!
She said - you train your dog and you keep them on the leash in public areas especially if you have a female in heat.

And to be fair, in public park, areas I see dogs on the lead about 80% of the time. Buenos Aires is a very dog loving city and they love their pets, but they also treat them like dogs.

All we can do is to allow veterinarians to have the authority to be able to say 'neutering is only after 1year of age'
Also it comes down to educating people more about the dangers of neutering the dog before sexual maturity.

Let me tell you a little bit about The benefits of online dog training.
It's not for everyone (humans), but it's for all dogs to start with their foundations. You can't take a dog to a park and expect it to have 100% focus on YOU, if you've not worked on it at HOME first.

In every country I've been to so far to study dogs, I've been watching the dogs and the packs of dogs nearby while sitting in parks or outside of businesses. Almost often, the "rules" are the same.
1. All of the dogs ownt their own blocks and none would stray to a block that wasn't their own. They are aware of their surroundings, if they do, they will bark, growl, or even chase the other dog to its location. No physical battle will result.
2. Canines are streetwise! They are aware of where the streets are, where the automobiles are, and they PAY ATTENTION before crossing the street—a practice that is uncommon in the western world. A large percentage of cars honk and move over for the dogs instead of running them over; if they don't, the people around them will react. When a car in Guatemala nearly ran over a dog, I watched some locals hurl bottles at it. The
3. A street dog will rarely really RUN UP and sniff another street dog in the face or behind; instead, they will communicate with one another over a distance. 90% of the dogs simply walk past one another without even saying hello.
I've witnessed it numerous times in Guatemala and Nicaragua, where leashed pet dogs walk to the park and, if there are any street dogs present, welcome and play with each other after a little period of greeting.
A young street dog was trying to correct a pet dog with very strong body language when an older dog approached and reprimanded the young street dog! then it watched the conversation and engaged in playful play with the pet dog and the street dog. It was mind-blowing to me.
A QUICK HARD CONCLUSION: We raise our dogs to be more like people, removing the "dog" from them and impairing their ability to communicate effectively, which is why there are so many "overly friendly" and "reactive" dogs in the western world.

Dog owners needs to be educated in dogs, not just get a dog because they are cute!

here on the island, of Anguilla. Chicken liver, beef liver are chopped to pieces and boiled with chicken bones to make a broth, the bones are then taken out, mixed in a blender with some of the broth,
The boiled livers are given mixed with rice, dog dry food for the doggies, and the mixed chicken bone broth is thrown in the grass for the chickens!
Country life is on another level here,

How do you kindly ask someone to call their dog?🙋‍♀️🦮🐕

You start off with one of the sentences
“DO YOU MIND...”
WOULD YOU MIND...,
WOULD IT BE OK IF....,
WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE.....,
WOULD YOU BE WILLING TO.....
COULD I ASK YOU TO....

If that wouldn’t help us :
COULD I ASK YOU TO TAKE YOUR F@CKING DOG!!😒🤬
Now that will just make them even more triggered, the owners

Walk away singing
🎻 Distance from distraction
🎻 Keep walking, don’t ever stand still, and wait for the dog owner to grab their dog.
