We hope your dogs are coping the best they can with the noises of fireworks. Remember even those who seem ok will be more heightened than usual and may seem more on edge. Give them plenty of time to decompress during the day, sniffing, licking and chewing can help dogs to regulate. The more they can do this in the day will really help in the evenings. If your dog is reactive the extra stress can exacerbate their reactivity so give them quiet walks alone. If youâre worrying about next year talk to your vet who can help you with options and can refer you to a clinical animal behaviourist who can help you ready for next year. đ#fireworks2024 #fireworks
Look at how my mum helps me to cope during fireworks season, so I donât get too wound up. Sniffing, licking and chewing are all natural ways to self regulate, which help us to cope and feel better. If your doggo is struggling, talk to your vet as they can help short term now the fireworks are here#fireworks #fireworks2024 #dogadvice #dogsofinstagram #dogmom #doglovers #miniatureamericanshepherds
Please think about the pets in your area before setting off fireworks. So many can get seriously injured and suffer great emotional trauma from the weeks of random noises. If you must celebrate please use the silent ones, or go to a display. This at least give caregivers a time scale and they can prepare. Our pets, wildlife and livestock donât deserve this, not to mention the many different people and children who also suffer this time of year. #fireworks #fireworks2024 #petlovers #dogvideos
He did it!!! @mrgrumblefloof finally had an annual health check and vaccinations where the vet was able to examine him properly, and give the vaccine without ANY grumbles and no muzzle!! Weâve worked so hard to help Spock control his meerkat around being touched and handled, especially at the vetâs. Weâve done this using primarily CU principles like down for the count, start/stop buttons, 1,2,3 game and many more!If youâre curious join us live tonight for the Control The Meerkatâs summer of meerkats! Tonight at 7.30pm BST, as we chat all about controlling those alert meerkats using simple techniques that work!!

This is what happens when your dogs are confident to call you out when you make a mistake. They donât fear punishment, but theyâre training using two way âconversationsâ. He did the behaviour, I missed it and he had his mini hissy fit. At the time I didnât know why so gave him a moment to express himself and we started again.It was only after watching the video I saw what he saw, he saw my mistake, I didnât follow the pattern he was expecting and he called me out in his own funny way.Remember to be patient with your dogs when training, if they do something you werenât expecting itâs rarely because theyâre wrong, most likely an error in our communication. đ¤ˇđźââď¸ Good trainers learn from errors, we donât punish the dogs for our mistakes, they deserve better đ#dogtraining #patterngames #funnydogs #keepingitreal
