Think about what your dog has been selectively bred over generations to do and how you are going to meet that need. Because they are going to find a way to do, because they NEED to do it.

Great to be out doing some in-person CPD, learning from the fabulous Leslie McDevitt, creator and author of the Control Unleashed programme and its pattern games.

Patterns create predictable actions with predictable consequences, as well as giving the dog some control. They're deceptively simple, but don't be fooled! There's a LOT going on.

Someone who has anxiety once described predictable patterns to me as "safety anchors" that helped them navigate something otherwise stressful, and I love this explanation.

If you've done a 121 with me, chances are we used some pattern games, like looking at a dog or person, moving between two or more stations, reorienting to you, or even taking a deep breath.

Speaking of 121s, im.working my way through people I had to reschedule and new enquiries that came in while I had to take time after losing Cara. Many thanks for your patience and understanding.

If you're waiting to hear from me, I am getting to you, but do give me a prod if you need me urgently or think I've forgotten you.

A good life ❤️ and a good death 🖤
When I feel up to it, I might write a similar post. It's not easy breaking your own heart to save your best friend from suffering, but it comes to most of us with dogs.

We talk so much about giving our dogs a good life; a life that is enriched, and safe and full of love, I feel sometimes we need to talk more about giving our dogs a good death.

Death, for all of us, is inevitable. We can tip toe around that fact, or we can face it and discuss it, which I prefer to do, especially when it comes to dogs. My own, or yours.

As much as dogs deserve a good life, they deserve a good death even more so. But what is a good death? Well, here are my thoughts and experiences.

A good death is humane, and soft. It is like slipping into a warm bath, or taking an afternoon nap. It is calm and welcoming.

A good death is with familiar people. Not alone, not worried or confused. It is beside someone trusted who is guiding the way.

A good death is not in fear or pain. It is not on the worst day, or the hardest one. It is as merciful as it can be to that.

A good death is when there is recognition. When the dog is not so far gone in fear, pain, distress or cognition that they do not know who is with them or how they got there.

These standards to me are what I uphold with all my dogs and I believe all dogs to be deserving of. The cause of death, whether age, illness, behavior, or a combination, are important of course, but their final moments on this earth are totally beyond their control, and I view it as one of the greatest things we can do for them to make them feel valued, cared for and loved in that time.

I say this because I often watch dogs suffer poor deaths, and this may be a trigger for some but it’s a trigger for me too, which is why I am writing this. I watch dogs who have severe behavior issues get rehomed and rehomed and returned, only to suffer an awful death with people they don’t know, wondering what they did wrong, scared and alone. I watch dogs with illnesses or age get left behind, only to die alone and in pain and of a broken heart. I see these deaths because the people couldn’t bring themselves to be beside their dog at the end, or kept thinking there was something or someone else who could do it instead, and the dog ends up maybe having had a great life, but a very poor end. That is not fair.

Behavioral euthanasia is talked about a lot more than it used to be nowadays. And it’s not incorrect when we say sometimes it is the most HUMANE thing you can do for your dog is to give them a good death, beside you, rather than hope someone else can take them on and then they suffer alone after their issues prove too much for anyone else.

All of my dogs are promised a good death. The moment they step into my home. I do not hold on to my dogs because I can’t let them go. I give them an amazing life, and also a good goodbye, and I support my clients when they have to make these decisions too, no matter what the reason is behind it. I have been present for more euthanasias and goodbyes than I ever care to discuss. My own, my clients, shelter dogs. I have performed them myself. For every reason you can imagine. And for that very reason I stand by that while we should talk always about giving a good life to our dogs, we should advocate and talk about good deaths. Safe, free of pain or fear, and so very very loved.

Wee Dash (or I should say not-so-wee Dash!) is now in his adolescence. He's doing pretty well but we are seeing an increase of pulling on the lead, frustration related behaviour and some fear where there previously was none. Adolescence can also bring regression to puppy like behaviour like chewing and mouthing. It's understandable that people find it frustrating, but now is a time for calm and patient responses from us. As noted below, unpredictable behaviour from us such as shouting generally exacerbates the situation, often causing appeasement behaviour such as jumping up and mouthing - which may be the very things you're frustrated about!
Patience, calm, understanding for our teens will see them through this period. It's not the easiest, but it's not forever!

Adolescence occurs between six months and 18 months of age—a time when guardians typically struggle the most with their dogs. Some guardians are so overwhelmed and underprepared for this developmental stage of their dog’s life, they choose to surrender the dog to a local shelter or rescue group. In a recent study published in the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science found that the majority of the surrendered dogs (47.7 percent) ) were between 5 months and 3 years of age (M.D. Salman,John G. New, Jr.,Janet M. Scarlett,Philip H. Kass,Rebecca Ruch-Gallie &Suzanne Hetts, 2010)

The neurobiology of adolescence is fascinating, with some key events that alter both the structure and function of the brain.

During canine adolescence, changing s*x hormones effect the animals stress responses. Adolescent dogs have a decreased ability to process information they are receiving from the environment including the presence of dogs, vehicles, people, or really anything around them. They behave in ways that might feel frustrating or upsetting for the dog’s person.

The connectivity between the frontal cortex (responsible for decision making) and amygdala (responsible for emotional processing) decreases, resulting in less behavioral control. We see increased risk taking and more sensitivity to fear.

So what does this mean? This could mean that what was once no big deal to the dog now feels scary; what was once easy to do is now stressful; what once made sense is now confusing. At times, the world can feel like ‘too much’ for the adolescent dog.

As your puppy undergoes this transition into adulthood their inner world is intense, even chaotic. Many pet owners experience an increase in undesirable behavior and find themselves becoming increasingly frustrated. In turn, our own frustration and impatience can cause us to act unpredictably. This adds to our puppy’s inner turmoil. When the inside and the outside are both unpredictable it can be difficult for our dogs to adjust.

If you have an adolescent dog, what can you do? You can give your dog the time and space to observe what is going on around them when on leash at a distance away from the activity when possible. You can give your dog long walks to sniff and explore in nature, giving their brain time to decompress. You can offer your dog a quiet space to sleep so that they can consolidate memories effectively. You can continue training various skills, breaking them down into easier steps that can be generously reinforced.

By understanding what our adolescent dog is experiencing we gain greater compassion and understanding. When we approach adolescence with patience we create a world that is predictable and gentle so our puppies grow up to be their best adult selves.

DOGS IN PAIN STILL RUN AND PLAY

This is Twig my yorkie, as many of you know she was born with deformed back legs. She has patella issues, cruciate issues, malformed hocks and also elbow disease.

Despite all of this, Twig would play all day. She is a young dog and would run non-stop, play with toys, play with my other dogs 24/7 if she could. She always wants to go for a walk- she never wants to turn to go home, she would walk all day if you let her.

She’s never grumpy, never shows any aggression even when she’s in pain. She partially ruptured a cruciate a few months ago and despite not being able to use her leg she was still desperate to go for a walk and kept dropping balls in my coffee (obvs I didn’t let her walk or play!) 😳

She has phases where her legs are really bad and she is in pain. It would be really easy for me to think she’s ‘fine’ and not in pain as she would still play all day if I let her. My only behavioural signs of pain with her are that she wakes in the night and takes a while to settle again and she barks a bit more than normal at outside noises.

I’ve also seen night-waking with my Dalmatian, Lucky, when he was in pain and my first sign of his back issues was that he would wake up and wander around in the middle of the night. He also still wanted to walk and play.

People often think that a dog who is in pain won’t want to go for a walk but dogs in pain are often still keen to go for a walk and they will want to chase a ball etc and play if you let them. Don’t ever assume they aren’t in pain because they want to run and play!

Signs of pain can be subtle and these are some that I commonly see in dogs I work with -

🛌 They may wake in the night or find it hard to settle in the evening, pacing or moving from bed to bed

🐕 They may vocalise more (whine or bark) and be more attention-seeking (nudging your hand to stroke them all the time or following you from room to room)

🛋️ Hesitating or unable to climb on/off the sofa, go up the stairs or get in and out of the car or needing a bigger run up to get in. Being slower to get up from resting.

😔 Being unhappy about being handled (groomed/dried etc) or unhappy about people sitting next to them on the sofa or walking past their bed

🐩 Changes in interactions with other dogs on walks- less keen on interacting or less keen on certain types of play etc

🏀. Lying down on walks or walking at a slower place but also conversely running excessively (‘runners high’ endorphins make them feel good temporarily)

You may also notice physical changes (the way your dog moves or the way their body looks.

💊 Please chat to your vet if you see any changes, dogs don’t suddenly change and start or stop doing things for no reason.

Pain is one of the primary causes of many aggression in dogs. Dogs also often don’t stop running and playing when they are in pain- signs of pain can be subtle and easy to miss so please, please seek advice from your vet if you see changes

Crating your dog during hot weather - great info and advice below 👇
Dogs need to move around and self select different areas for several reasons, and even more so when it's hot or cold. So important for quality sleep, which is so important to everything!
This is why I prefer pens or very large crates if a dog needs to be contained for a long period of time, whatever the reason.

🥵 DOG CRATES & HOT WEATHER! 🥵

Last night this guy had me up twice. He’s not very good at communicating he needs to go out and does displacement behaviours like rolling upside down making a quacking noise, a weird burping noise or pacing up and down the hallway.

Despite having the fan on in the hall and access to a cold, hard floor in different areas, he was too hot!

Dogs often change their position and location multiple times across a sleep/rest period. This is especially the case for thick or double coated breeds or individuals who ‘run hot’.

Amigo and Kanita will stay in their beds in the bedroom all night but sometimes Kanita gets out of her bed to lie on the floor.
(Yes, they sleep in our bedroom! They have the choice to sleep elsewhere, but they want to sleep close as a group).

However, across the evening when we are all hanging in the lounge all three dogs are changing where they rest frequently. With the current heat, despite having a fan on, they are changing positions about 2-3 times each per hour!

One reason dogs change the location or position of where they sleep is to regulate their body temperature.

Another reason is that different sleeping positions may better support different phases of sleep.
Being able to stretch out fully promotes REM sleep- the phase of sleep where memory consolidation and recovery from stressors is at optimum!

Think how about your quality of sleep lying down vs when sat upright! Do you do the nodding dog? 😴 🛌

Taking this species-specific sleeping behaviour and the current hot weather into consideration, it’s important to consider whether your set up for where your dog sleeps is allowing them to regulate their temperature.

Whilst positioning a fan towards a dog who is crated is considerate to them over heating, dogs who aren’t crated can demonstrate a preference to move away after a duration of sitting in front of a fan. 🪭

It’s not uncommon for dogs to suddenly develop an aversion to their crates during hot weather. This may be due to heat, or even due to an increase in audible sounds at night due to open windows 🪟

My preference is that dogs have the freedom to regulate their temperature and stretch out fully by being given more than one option of where they can sleep rather than contained in an area with limited space.

A compromise to providing total free range- where your dog can access multiple sleeping spots in various locations and of various surfaces- may be a dog bed in a room behind a stargate, or a crate with an open door paired up with a large puppy pen. However, be mindful the only padded surface isn’t in a small, contained space or that a hard floor is the only alternative to a thick, cushioned bed! A nice rug or padded mat may provide an in between.

If your dog genuinely loves their crate and considers it to be their consistently comfy bed and safe place - they’ll go inside on their own accord and stay inside even when the door is left open.

🐾🐶 How to grow a puppy 🐶 🐾

From 8 weeks to nearly 8 months!

Wow Dash has been an incredible puppy! 😃

One of the reasons you've not seen many puppy posts is because he has breezed through this sensitive critical period of development.

Puppies go through periods often referred to as "fear periods" where they find previously neutral things worrying or scary.

Puppies are also experiencing and seeing things for the very first time a lot. Every day. All the time! And it's normal for puppies to be cautious or worried about these new things.

But Dash took novel experiences, sights and sounds in his stride.

His confidence and optimism are fantastic.

Lots of this is genetic. But I've been working to maintain and boost this.

How?

✅️Building a secure attachment
✅️Nutrition
✅Lots of ️sleep
✅️Appropriate exercise
✅️Play
✅️Exploring new experiences
✅️Quality social interaction

Of course I have been teaching him too, but the main things that will help him develop into a confident dog are the ones above, not whether he can sit or not! (Spoiler alert: he can 😝).

I'll post more details on these important factors to well-rounded puppies and dogs.

As we hit adolescence, Dash has started to be unsure sometimes. This is also totally normal. Adolescence is also a critical development period where the brain changes rapidly.

More on this later!

EMERGENCY CARE FOR HOT DOGS - Get them wet and off to the vet!
It may have cooled off a wee bit here in Scotland, but this is crucial advice if your dog overheats 👇
Remember heatstroke is a CRITICAL EMERGENCY ⚠️ in dogs. Act fast. Cool then transport to a vet ASAP

Is it true that if we use cold water on heat stroke pets they will go into shock?

One of the most common things we still hear is that we can only use tepid water on a pet with heat stroke, incase they get some complications like hypothermic overshoot, peripheral vasoconstriction hindering a cooling response, and cardiogenic shock...

We have heard not to use cold water in case it causes shock... this rarely happens!

But guess what? In a recent study over 26% of dogs presented with heat stroke died, with flat faced breeds making up nearly half of heat stroke cases seen in the study.

You should:

💧Get someone to call the local veterinary practice and tell them you're going to travel down with a heat stroke patient
💧Pour, hose or if possible immerse the pet in very cold water (this should obviously be done under constant supervision, ensuring the head is fully above water and immersion should not be attempted if the animal is too large, or you are unable to do so without hurting yourself)
💧NB: If using a hose pipe, make sure it has run through until cold, as they can often contain water that is extremely hot in the tubing initially
💧Do not drape in towels and leave them in situ. Keep the cold water flowing.
💧Move to a cool, shaded area
💧Prepare to transport to vets in a cold, air conditioned car

In studies they found that:

🌅International consensus from sports medicine organisations supports treating EHS with early rapid cooling by immersing the casualty in cold water.
🌅Ice-water immersion has been shown to be highly effective in exertional heat stroke, with a zero fatality rate in large case series of younger, fit patients.
🌅Hyperthermic individuals were cooled twice as fast by Cold Water Immersion as by passive recovery.
🌅No complications occurred during the treatment of three older patients with severe heat stroke were treated with cold‐water immersion.
🌅Cold water immersion (CWI) is the preferred cooling modality in EHS guidelines and the optimal method applicable to UK Service Personnel
🌅Studies suggest using either ice-water or cold-water immersion

The best intervention is PREVENTION, but if you find yourself with an animal with heat stroke, using cold water either by pouring, hosing or ideally (if safe) immersion then this may help reduce their temperature to safe levels while you transport to a veterinary practice.

Did you know that the solar storm currently over the UK can impact on our dogs? Especially if sensitive or anxious. Fascinating info here 👇

Solar storms and how it may impact your dogs.

Scientific studies have repeatedly demonstrated that dogs are sensitive to geomagnetic changes.

Currently the earth is experiencing a powerful solar storm. It's effects on our dogs should not be underestimated. Especially our sensitive working dogs who are bred to have a heightened sense of direction. Dogs who are anxious or nervous may experience exacerbated symptoms. Dogs are sensitive to even small changes in the earth's magnetic field, this current storm is big and disruptive.

Epileptic dogs and people may be affected. There is a huge body of evidence relating to solar storms and seizures, have a little Google, there's too many relevant bits of literature to post here.

What can you do? Dogs are at increased risk of becoming disorientated in new environments, keep them on lead, in sight, have a heightened awareness of where they are. For dogs who rely on their sense of direction for work such as sheepdogs working hills, search and rescue dogs, tracking dogs, hunting dogs and trail dogs, it might be worth evaluating putting off any work where a dog may get lost. This is not me being a f***y either, I've already heard of a couple of normally savvy dogs becoming lost and disoriented in the north of Scotland, out of character for them.

In humans existing mental health conditions can worsen temporarily, particularly conditions caused by or associated with trauma, where your integral ability to orientate becomes distrupted and makes you feel unsafe, increasing anxiety and hypervigilance. This change in your presentation can also impact your dogs.

Just something to be aware of. As much as it sounds like hippy woo woo nonsense, I can assure you, it's a thing.

"the idea that animals can detect Earth’s magnetic field has traveled the path from ridicule to well-established fact in little more than one generation. Dozens of experiments have now shown that diverse animal species, ranging from bees to salamanders to sea turtles to birds, have internal compasses. Some species use their compasses to navigate entire oceans, others to find better mud just a few inches away."

⚠️ Be careful with your very cute puppy!
I have been very careful to not allow every single person we see to meet and greet Dash.
Your dog might be scared.
Your dog might be getting over excited and learning that people are for jumping all over.
Excellent advice as ever from Dog Communication 👇

BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR VERY CUTE PUPPY..

Or they may grow up to be worried about people..

All puppies are adorable but some seem to get much more attention than others. If they have unusual markings, or are a rare breed or look like a teddy bear or are absolutely tiny, they may get even more attention than your average pup.

Your very cute puppy may get loads of attention from people. You may get groups of kids reaching to touch them, people trying to pick them up etc. it may feel like this is great socialisation for them but it may be too much for some puppies.

I see so many clients with gorgeous dogs and their adult dogs have become reactive to people and may bark or snap if people reach out to touch them. There are many reasons this can develop but a significant one is that cute puppies can sometimes get overwhelmed by well meaning strangers when they are tiny.

Some puppies can find all this attention and the 8 million hands trying to stroke them too much and then you risk them being overwhelmed and becoming worried at a young age.

Socialisation, where we help puppies to feel comfortable to all the things will experience as an adult, can actually result in sensitisation. If puppies are sensitised they grow up to be scared of the things you exposed them to, and in adult dogs, this can result in anxiety that comes out as barking, lunging, growing or snapping at people if they find them scary. Puppies absolutely need exposure to lots of nice people of all different ages and types but it needs to be done sensitively and shouldn’t be a free for all. We need to manage socialisation so that it’s fun and feels safe for our puppies.

It’s a really important skill to be able to judge if your puppy is doing okay during socialisation and an even more important skill to know what to do if they aren’t coping.

When you are out with your puppy observe their body language carefully- are they wagging softly and trying to approach the person who wants to say hi to them? Are they able to eat treats and is their body looking soft and relaxed? If they are backing away, yawning, cowering or their tail is tucked then we need to advocate for pup and say ‘sorry they don’t want to say hi right now’

It’s often easier to see pups body language if they are on the ground and not being held by you. If they are being held it can be hard to tell if they are trying to move away and don’t want to be touched.

Be careful how people interact with them- not too many friendly hands reaching out at once, don’t let them get overwhelmed and don’t let people pick them up if they don’t want to be picked up (most puppies would prefer to stay on the ground). Try and make sure people use 1 hand and not 2 to stroke pup (this avoids hands clamping either side of pups face), ask people to stroke for a few seconds and then stop- if pup has had enough and doesn’t ask for more affection we need to respect that and move away. If your puppy has had enough, get them out of the situation and don’t ever worry about offending people- your puppy’s emotional needs come first.

My first puppy as an adult was my northern inuit Elsa, pictured here. She had striking facial markings and was an unusual breed so people were magnetised to her. Kids would surround her and hands would constantly reach out to touch her wherever we went. I probably oversocialised her and she was most likely overwhelmed by too many friendly people looking back, she was much more sensitive than I first realised. She grew up to not love new people much (she absolutely adored all dogs) and her extensive socialisation may have been part of the reason why.

I never ever made the same mistake again with all the puppies I’ve had since and I advise my clients to tailor the socialisation experience to their own pup. Some confident puppies lap up all the exposure to people you can give them and don’t find any of it overwhelming and some more sensitive puppies need a much more controlled and careful socialisation. If you aren’t sure what your puppy needs, getting professional help before any issues develop can be a good idea to get you off on the right track from the start.

If you’re now in the position of having an adult dog who reacts to people and you think it may be as they were overwhelmed as a puppy, don’t blame yourself. It can be hard to judge and we all do the best we can at the time. There are often many factors that contribute including genetic traits, pain and ill health and very early experiences too. Getting professional help can help sensitive adults to feel happier around people too.

🐾 Puppy's first week 🐾
Dash has been keeping me very busy!
What should a puppy's forst week or so look like? As a trainer, did I do a ton of training from day one and every day? NOPE!

When we adopt a puppy, we take him artificially early away from his mum and his siblings. Away from everything he has ever known.

The priority is supporting your puppy to feel safe and meeting their emotional needs.

So what's the first week or so like?

🔐 Safety - keeping him feeling safe. This means not leaving him on his own to cry in distress. Sleeping together and supporting his emotional needs. On Dash's first night he slept right next to me, cuddled into my neck. On night two he slept right next to me in a crate on the bed so that we were still right next to each other. No this isn't mollycoddling, and no it doesn't lead to clingy puppies or separation anxiety. I'll post more on creating a secure attachment later.
❤️ Relationship building - getting to know each other, building trust, connection and fun.
🏠 New home - getting used to his new home, its sights, smells and sensations. His new dog and human family members.
🌎 Learning about the world - gentle exposure to new things in the house, then outside. Being carried and kept safe while experiencing quiet areas, getting to know areas we will go, observing his new dog family members walking and sniffing.
💩 Toileting - Learning where to toilet by being set up for success, taken out frequently, rewarded for outdoor toileting and not told off for indoor toileting.
⚽️Playing - lots and lots of playing!
🎓 Learning - one easy behaviour which he already half knew - sit.

Look out for more on Dash's first few weeks soon...

Welcome to the Everdogs family Dash! ❤️🐾 Super handsome little man 🥰
Dash is my first baby puppy as I have always had rescue dogs previously. He's now three months old and has been with us for nearly a month.

He arrived a week after my mum's funeral and is a great antidote to the sadness of losing so many loved ones recently.

I've also had to manage a puppy with my older girl Cara, who has been very unwell causing me sleepless nights on top of puppy-related sleep deprivation!

It's bittersweet as Zeke would have loved him so much 💔

Dash is super confident and happy and is taking everything in his stride so far ❤️ Confidence and optimism is what I was looking for.

Looking forward to many adventures Dash 😊❤️🐾
