A SAD STORY

I remember attending a Dog Law Seminar where of course microchips and the legalities came up for discussion.

The story was heartbreaking.

A family had gone on holiday, left their dog with a sitter. The dog escaped, was picked up by someone and taken to the pound, the pound called the number on the microchip but because they were away on holiday they had switched their phones off.

Sadly the story ended badly, after 7 days the dogs was put to sleep 😪

The pound said they had tried calling and left messages, which they had ( I'm not going into the pts of a healthy dog on this post ) and a family came home to these messages and a dog lost its life.

For me, if anyone had care of my dog's my phone would be on and glued to me anyway....I have separation issues when I'm away from them 🫣

But a good suggestion that was made was to add another phone number to your dogs microchip database information.

Someone who isn't likely to ever be away on holiday with you. That's way if heaven forbid your dog gets out or escapes and you can't answer calls, another number can be called and your dog can be collected.

It's a great idea worth sharing so no dog has to lose its life because someone didn't or couldnt pick up a phone.

The Daycare gang.

Finally recovered from chest infection💪so looking forward to the next semester of doggie school.

When life gets busy or things don’t go to plan it is normal that our dogs can be the first to get less of us. This is normal so it is important to have a back up in case. That’s why we started our daycare for our clients to avail off on those days.

A lot of what I would see from people reaching out to me are symptoms of a dogs needs not being met, barking, digging, chewing etc. We get over this by having a good routine that meets those needs. When that’s not possible and there will always be situations where it becomes difficult you want to have a plan B.

Dogs communicate at different “volumes.” Noticing and listening to the more subtle signs (low volume) enables us to intervene and help dogs feel more comfortable so they don’t resort to the more overt signs (high volume).
