So, not just a wonderful trainer.
Not only can your dog win, but you can too!

Another great post from Laura at mypawfectk9.

Had a few messages yesterday regarding the tabard and asking where to get one!

These are so useful for so many reasons!

You can get them to say pretty much anything you want, whether people take the time to read and act on it is another story, but at least you are being proactive instead of firefighting and reacting - meaning more time to focus on your dog.

You will feel more confident because you have been proactive - and confidence is transferable to your canine partner and grows

You don’t need to engage in dialogue with anyone and everyone to explain the reason for this or that = more focus and more time watching the dog!

You’re able to focus more on your dog - rather than constantly focusing on the environment and what ‘will’ go wrong (the tabard doesn’t mean you can just carry on regardless though - it’s not magic - it just provides a heads up!)

They are useful and I recommend them a lot for over friendly dogs, as well as anxious dogs who worry about people or other dogs.

Tabards are a message giver; you and your dog can focus more on training than engaging with passers by - and they do help.

The majority of people are respectful (and can read!) and will help you by ignoring or engaging (on invitation to do so) depending on what you want to work on

Happy to help if you want some more information

⚠️URGENT⚠️

⚠️PLEASE HELP US COUNTER THE SPREAD OF FALSE INFORMATION THAT COULD LEAD TO HARM TO DOGS⚠️

Content has been published by "Ja CkWalker - The Dogfather" stating that cooling overheated dogs will kill them. This is clearly FALSE INFORMATION and if followed will lead to a greatly increased risk of death!

Dogs die from heatstroke NOT because they were COOLED but because:

💦They were not cooled soon enough
💦They were not cooled for long enough
💦They were not cooled appropriately (Immersion in cool/cold water or all over in the case of compromised dogs)

Many people have visited his page to correct him and point him to proper resources but his reaction is - abuse, delete, block!

🙏PLEASE 🙏go to his page and REPORT the FALSE CONTENT to Facebook. You may choose to leave a comment after reporting but you will be blocked and it will be deleted! I cannot put a link as I am blocked! Just search for "Ja CkWalker".

AT LEAST MANY DOGS WILL BENEFIT IF CORRECT INFORMATION IS CIRCULATING AS FAST AS FALSE INFORMATION!

The Animalweb Heat Wave Hub on the website is here to help (OPEN RESOURCE - FREE) for horses, cats and dogs!

I can't believe it is still necessary to have this conversation!

There are always choices.
The point is are you choosing for you or for you and your dog?
