The Barking Lot Pet Shop

The Barking Lot Pet Shop The best for your pets, naturally. Welcome to The Barking Lot of Wetherby. In fact, we don't stock any dog or cat food with less than 20% REAL meat.

At The Barking Lot, you won't find sugar and additive-laden dog and cat food, or any with meat and animal derivatives(poor quality bits of unnamed animals). Most people are shocked to discover that supermarket brands can contain only 4% meat! We specialise in healthy, natural food and treats for ALL your pets, as well as top quality training aids, toys, beds, leads, collars and accessories. We are

n't a big pet supply chain or a bulk discounters. Instead, we offer carefully selected, quality products, most of which are tested on or by our own pets. With direct access to pet nutritionists and trainers, we strive to keep informed of the latest advice in pet nutrition, health and well-being so we can pass this on to our customers. We won't sell you anything we feel is unsafe or inappropriate for your particular pet. Above all, we offer customer service second to none. The Barking Lot is an exclusive stockist of Gentle Cold Pressed Dog food, as well as Ethical Company certified brands like Applaws, Burns, Edgard & Cooper, Feelwell's, Hownd, Pooch & Mutt. We also stock Innocent Hound, James Wellbeloved, Ziwi-Peak, and our best-selling Acana & Orijen. All of our pet food, as well as some supplements and toys, come with a money-back guarantee. We stock natural supplements such as Yumove, Pooch and Mutt, Pure Flax, and Verm-x. For small animals, we have Burgess Excel and Supreme. From your new puppy to your senior dog, from cats to rabbits, from guinea pigs, degus and chinchillas to birds and fish, we have it all! Our staff is friendly and knowledgeable. We treat every pet as if it was our own, and if we don't know the answer, we'll find it for you! Come in for a browse, free advice or free tummy rubs(sorry, pets only!)

Imagine this.
Your 3 year old child is scared of spiders.

Perhaps one ran over your child’s hand one day whilst playing in the garden and from then on your child has developed a strong negative reaction.

Now whenever they see a spider, even at a distance , no matter how small the spider is.. they feel frightened.

They panic. 😰

This fear presents itself as panicky squealing, flapping hands, running away and crying.

You are trying to help them but not sure how.
You want the behaviour to stop. 🛑

So one day you decide to buy a pair of percussion Cymbals.

You keep them ready in the shed.

One day when you and your child are in the garden you notice that your child sees a small spider 🕷 and starts to panic.

They start to flap their hands and squeal!

You quickly go into the shed and grab your Cymbals.
You creep up behind them and crash the Cymbals as LOUDLY as possible! 💥

Your child jumps!
They are quite clearly startled by the noise!
They stop squealing and stand still in shock.

Good, You think to yourself. Well that’s worked!!

I’ll do that again.

But then you notice your child’s bottom lip starts to quiver.
They look at you with betrayal and confusion in their eyes. 🥺

A little bit of trust. Vanished.

Why did mummy do that? I needed her support and reassurance.
Not for mummy to scare me even more.

You don’t care.

As far as you’re concerned the behaviour of squealing at the spider stopped.

And quickly.

Okay..

How unfair and cruel does that sound??!

The outward behaviour may have stopped but now your child is now scared of the spider AND YOU.

Now, of course, NO-ONE with any ounce of sense or empathy would do this to their child!

BUT WE DO IT TO OUR DOGS.

Replace the spider with another dog.

Replace the Cymbals with a can of Pet Corrector that you spray or a can/jar filled with pebbles or coins that you violently shake.

Or even a sharp sq**rt of water to the face.

Startle IS going to stop the behaviour immediately.
Of course it will! Its a shock to the system.

But the underlying emotion is STILL present.
And now, your dog is feeling scared of the noise.
And probably very unsure of you.

If the startle method is repeated, it will (most probably) work to SUPPRESS the behaviour that you don’t want.

But your dog won’t be ‘fixed’.

Emotionally your dog now has added worries.

Can they trust you?

Because YOU make scary noises happen. 😩🕷
