It’s going to very warm this week…

Please keep an eye on your dogs

1) don’t leave them in cars
2) make sure they have water (use a slow feeder bowl to help them not gulp water and get an upset stomach.
3) get those paddling pools out - Aldi have them for £7.99 at the moment- fill them with a couple of inches of water and then plastic balls for a really enriching experience
4) scatter feeding with kibble and treats to keep thier minds occupied and manage food at a better rate in warm
Weather
5) Frozen carrots are a great cooling treat
6) cooling mats on the floor and if your dog has a crate, put them on top of the crate to create a cooling space for your dogs to ‘chill out’ in.
7) wet towels (not freezing cold water) to help them cool slowly, you don’t want to give them a cold shock, we just want to help cool them gently.
8) walks - your dog DOES NOT! Need a walk every day, if it’s too hot don’t take them, let them rest, chill and do the enrichment games.
9) your dogs may lose their appetite that’s not unusual so don’t be surprised that they get hungry when the sun goes down.

Please take care and look after your amazing dogs in this changing weather conditions (as we have potential storms Thursday!)

This Sunday was tracking a new scent and then getting the dogs to recognise and indicate on multiple scent search…

This is tricky stuff but the team nailed it across all areas

Well done every Pawsomely scentsational work

Looking for a Dog Trainer ? Here are a few things to consider 🐶

Choosing the right dog trainer for your family can make a world of difference in your dogs behaviour and your bond with them. Here are some key factors to keep in mind:

*knowledge, Qualifications & Certifications: dog training is currently an unregulated industry which can make it a minefield for owners, however, there are organisations that ensure trainers adhere to certain standards and ethics which can help narrow things down. You wouldn’t go to a Vet or a teacher that is unqualified so it can be important to look for trainers with recognised qualifications such as those from the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) or the Association of Pet Dog Trainers (APDT). Experience and knowledge count for so much, don’t be afraid to ask questions of any potential trainers.

*Training Methods: according to research and to welfare organisations, Positive reinforcement techniques are the gold standard as they are humane, effective, and help build a stronger relationship with your dog. Applying pain or distress to any animal in the name of training is inhumane.

*Experience & Specialisation: Ensure the trainer has experience with your dog’s specific breed or behavioural issues. Some trainers specialise in areas like puppy training, agility, or aggression management. A good trainer will recognise if a case falls out of their specialism and will be happy to refer you to someone suitable.

*Testimonials and Reviews: Check out testimonials and reviews. A good trainer will have a track record of happy clients and well-behaved dogs.

*Observation: Ask to attend a class to observe the trainer in action. Look for a calm, patient approach and dogs that are engaged and happy.

*Extras: Ensure the trainer has appropriate insurance and canine first aid training.

Remember, the right trainer will not only teach your dog but also educate you on how to maintain good behaviour. Take your time to find the perfect match for you and your four legged family! 🐕❤️

Well, we have some very exciting news and we need our Jackadorians help!

As some of you may know Jason, although a Scentwork trainer in a number of fields is also an accredited behaviourist.

As such he has launched his new Facebook and Instagram for the work he is doing supporting on more complex behavioural issues.

Can we ask a small favour and for all the Superscentworksquad and Jackadorians to like/share and comment (Pawsome) on his new page (and his Instagram Page).

There might be a prize post if we can get over 200 page likes…..and if we get higher there might be more prize awesomeness

Thanks
