When considering the ethics of how we treat small dogs, it's crucial to take their growling as seriously as we would with larger breeds. This approach respects the emotional state and communication efforts of the dog, regardless of size. Growling is a clear expression of a dog's discomfort, fear, or stress. By acknowledging and responding appropriately to these signals from small dogs, we validate their feelings and provide them with a sense of security and understanding.

Ethically, it's important to recognise that all dogs, regardless of size, have the same basic emotional needs and ways of communicating. Dismissing a small dog's growl can lead to a misunderstanding of its emotional well-being and potentially exacerbate their distress. This can result in a dog feeling misunderstood, ignored, or not taken care of, which is contrary to ethical pet ownership principles that emphasise understanding and responding to an animal's needs.

Furthermore, by taking a small dog's growling seriously, we promote a more compassionate and empathetic approach to animal care. It reflects an understanding that a dog's behaviour is a reflection of its emotional state. Addressing the root cause of the growling, whether it be fear, anxiety, or discomfort, shows a commitment to the ethical treatment of animals, where their emotional and psychological well-being is given priority.

In essence, ethically responsible dog ownership involves recognising and respecting the emotional expressions of all dogs, big or small. It's about creating a nurturing and understanding environment where dogs feel safe to communicate their feelings, and where their signals are respected and addressed appropriately.

We are looking for a very special individual to join our team of Canine Carers at our kennels in Camus, Connemara.

While relevant experience is preferred, we are really looking for someone with the right attitude who is eager to learn and fits with our existing (and wonderful!) Kennel Team.

This job will be physically demanding, largely working outdoors, whether there’s rain, hail, wind, snow or sun. While it is hugely rewarding it is also challenging, hard work and not for the faint hearted.🙃

It is also mentally and emotionally demanding, as many of these dogs are under-socialised or traumatised and require a skilled handler. We will be happy to help the right person develop the necessary skills for safely and gently handling these dogs.💙🐾

Rinky is a super 3 year old girl, who has to be rehomed due to a change in circumstances. Her owners are heartbroken, but know that the right thing to do is to find a more suitable home. 🏡🐾

Rinky is a German Shepherd x Rottweiller, and is a big cuddly bear, that has been a fantastic family pet, living with children of 6 years and older. She is used to living rurally, and we feel that this environment suits her best, but she will need secure fencing so that she does not wander off the property. Being a cross between two protective breeds, means that Rinky will be a great deterrent to any intruders, and will alert if there are strangers around. She is a loving & loyal family dog though, and has lived with children.🐾💖

Probably the saddest thing about understanding our dogs, is just how long this misunderstanding has lasted.

Our dogs are only ever trying to meet a need, there is no other motive, there is no manipulation, there is no desire to be in charge.

They simply need our guidance in what we or society determine as mutually beneficial behaviours. Then most of all, they just need us to be their companions.

Whether we consider ourselves their leaders, parents or guides, we need to do it with love, curiosity and understanding. Not as a battle to the top.

🎉🎉🎉𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝟏𝐬𝐭 𝐆𝐨𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬!!!🎉🎉🎉

One year ago today Vee & Gerry welcomed Shaggy, Meghan & Will into their home. They had no expectations of them, didn't force any interactions & they even set up a separate secure area for them for the first few months before they felt comfortable going into the house & mixing with their dogs. This allowed them the space they needed to realise they were in a safe place with their boundaries being respected at all times. It's amazing to see how bonded the Shaggies are & we know how difficult it is to get one fearful dog adopted never mind taking on three together so we are absolutely over the moon for these three beautiful dogs!🥰🐾💙

The Shaggies are growing in trust all the time thanks to Vee & Gerry who have been amazing since the start. Huge thanks also to our fantastic kennel crew for never giving up on them in those tough few months at kennels & for getting them comfortable walking on lead & to gain some trust in people before they went to Gerry & Vee.💙

The Shaggies are now living a life of luxury-they're often found enjoying time in their fabulous secure garden or cuddled up together on the couch. They've even made 2 new little besties-Coco & Brone!🥰🐾

We couldn't have hoped for a better outcome for Shaggy, Meghan & Will and we know they are living their absolute best life now! We're sure they're having a great day celebrating their special day!!! 🥰🎉💙🐾🐾

Vee & Gerry we cannot thank you both enough for all you have done for our 3 hairy houndies! You've given them what they desperately needed-a place to feel safe, secure & loved.🥰🐾🧡

Wishing Vee, Gerry, the 3 Shaggies, Coco & Brone a very happy "Gotcha Day"!🥰🐾💙

We all know how amazing Sighthounds are as companions & how stunningly regal they are whilst also being goofballs at times! They are the PERFECT dog and we have some who are looking for their new home (complete with a comfy sofa to snooze the days away on). 🥰💤

They require very little exercise and are gentle dogs who are often extremely chilled yet somehow are constantly overlooked when people look to adopt.🥺

If you ask any Greyhound/Sighthound guardian they'll tell you how amazing they are! Once you adopt a Sighthound, you'll wonder how you ever managed without one! We'll warn you though-they are quite the addiction & you'll suddenly find yourself admiring other Sighthounds when out & about & researching which fleecey coat or martingale collar to buy next!🤣

Their long legged, pointy nosed beauty also attracts many fans & people will often stop you to ask about them.🥰

Here's the link for our available Sighthounds & other dogs⬇️:

If you think any of these wonderful Sighthounds may be a good match for you please fill in an adoption form & a member of our rehoming team will get back to you ASAP.

Finlay is a big softie (just like his namesake, our rugby playing Ambassador Finlay Bealham!) but unlike his namesake, this Finlay has had a very rough start in life. It appears from x-rays that he suffered a major trauma as a young dog, and as a result he may always need medication to manage pain and inflammation.🐾

However, Finlay is such a happy, smiley, affectionate and calm boy, that we know there is a very special person out there just waiting to meet a best friend like this. Finley is possibly a Collie x German Shepherd, and is still only a youngster of about 18 months old.💙🐾

If you would like more info on what Finlay's requirements are, please send in an application (click the link below) and we will respond as soon as we can. Finlay is one in a million, and after his lousy start in life, we feel he really deserves a home in a million.🏡💙🐾

Fantastic info from The Centre for Canine Education Inc. 👏👏👏

The growl is a gift.

Never punish it or try to 'stop' it. Simply listen. Heed the warning and accept this as communication.

When we punish the growl, the dog stops growling and instead will jump from subtle signs of discomfort straight to a bite.
We do not want a silent biter!

Growls are another component of canine communication and are perfectly normal! How else were you expecting them to communicate? Words? 😉

Dogs will growl for a few reasons; play, fear/threat-response, uncertainty, discomfort/pain.

Over time you will learn what each one sounds like, I'm sure, but for now, we must combine the growl with the rest of the body language and that is the easiest way to decipher its meaning.

If a dog is growling with a lowered body and tense ears pulled back, they are feeling fearful and warning that if the threat doesn't go away, they may have no choice but to escalate to a bite. In this moment, it's best to remove the threat and give the dog space.

If a dog is growling with a stiff body and side eye while hovering over an item, they are feeling threatened or worried that their valuable resource (food, toy, "found" object, etc) may be stolen. Do not try to teach your dog a lesson here by removing the resource - instead, speak calmly to reassure your dog and move away, showing them that you are not a thief.

If a dog is growling with a lowered body but is still moving toward the "threat" with curiosity, they are feeling uncertain or apprehensive. Their curiosity is still strong but they're simply a little spooked. Getting closer is not always best as dogs in this state may be easily spooked into fight/flight mode.

If a dog is growling in play, I don't see a problem as long as their body is loose, wiggly, silly, and they have soft eyes. If the game is not as loose and silly and the dog is jazzed up (like when playing tug or fetch, you may not see as much wiggliness or soft eyes - more so excited eyes, and that's okay too. I tend to watch that it doesn't escalate too much, so play for a minute, take a break, play again, take a break. Even a 15 second break is a good reset!

If a dog is growling while being handled, they may not be enjoying the experience at all and are warning you that this is not their jam. "If you keep doing that, I will have no choice but to bite you. Please stop." Stop the handling and work with them to make it a better experience. Find another way to move them rather than forcing them - a food lure or tossing a treat or toy is fine in the interim! If the dog is in pain, this is a conversation for the Veterinarian for sure!

Always assess the rest of the components while the growl is occurring, or if you feel unsafe, give the dog space.

Pocket Rocket - Comet ☄️

Comet is a 14 week old Jack Russell who is looking for his forever home 🏡

Comet's current foster family say that he is a busy little puppy who's very independent. He's your typical terrier pup full of confidence and play 🎾

Comet loves to snuggle up every evening on your knee with a blanket and will head off to bed for himself at night time. He's a smart little dude who will let you know when he wants out for toileting, although when it's raining he may decide it can wait 😅

He walks well on the lead and likes meeting other dogs when he's out and about. Comet is still teething and is a bit nippy however his foster family are working with him to alleviate it. For this reason he would suit a family with older kids or an adult-only home who can help him through the tricky puppy teething phase.

Do you think you can open your home to Cutie Comet? ☄️

Fantastic post by Dogs Disclosed 👏👏👏

DON’T GET A DOG…UNLESS YOU CAN MAKE A COMMITMENT

In an ideal world dogs would be included as part of our family and we would commit to sharing our time and life with them.

In an ideal world, we would take the time to learn about how they communicate, their emotions, their needs and updated, modern, scientifically based methods to understand or modify behaviour.

In reality, dogs are so often seen as an item of property, a commodity to be bred and make money from, a cheap, replaceable security system with a built-in barking alarm, a garden decoration, a toy to play with when the kids are bored or an accessory that looks good while out walking, running or taking selfies.

Dogs are not objects, just like us they are sentient beings with the capacity to feel a range of emotions.

A life spent confined to a backyard or fenced in with little or no human companionship is not a life.

Dogs are naturally social beings and need to spend time with their human family.

They need love and attention, exercise and mental stimulation.

They need routine, consistency and predictable patterns to feel secure in our world.

They need to feel safe, secure and protected if they are to be the best version of themselves.

Having a dog requires commitment, patience and dedication.

It’s hard work, it’s sometimes messy, dirty and stinky, it costs money and requires changes to our lifestyle.

It’s a decision that shouldn’t be taken lightly or without making a commitment, but the rewards of forming a secure bond with another sentient being can bring so much joy and enrichment to both our lives and theirs.

⚠️Please think carefully before offering a collie puppy a home. Research the breed characteristics of collies. They were breed for a purpose and will need to go to homes where their special collie needs are understood and met⚠️

Puppies will need to go homes where there's someone home most of the day to help with their toilet training, teething and socialisation to help them to grow up to be a well-rounded adult dog. 🐕

This boy was extremely nervous and traumatised when he arrived into MADRA a few months ago. But each day, he gets braver and braver and feels so proud of himself when he embraces something new.🐾

His favourite thing is being off leash in the sand arena in the afternoon with Alison and Nick while they pick up the horse p**p (Clancy even tries to have a sneaky little nibble when they're not looking 😂).
Hopefully one day soon the right person/people will see Clancy and give him the home of his dreams.....he really deserves it.🥺

Bambam is a super little 10 year old Poodle that is looking for a new home due to a change in circumstances.

He is a typical Poodle, with oodles of character, and he would possibly be best suited to a home without young children. His sight is starting to fail and he still loves to go adventuring, so a secure garden is essential. Bambam likes to have people around during the day, and he loves his walks, so these requirements must be taken into account before applying.🏡🐾
