Teach your dog to tolerate being wet-down. When they really need it, it’s likely to be a stressful situation so a bit of prep can reduce stress and keep everyone safer.

While Decker is semi-aquatic he does NOT do rain so this level of comfort has not been easy to reach.
We started with baby wipes - out of necessity as he often needs field-baby-wipe baths after rolling in 💩
And we have worked up to being thoroughly wet with cold water, standing comfortably and then getting yummies before moving on again.

During this heat, I have been able to wet him and give him a drink, where ever and when ever, to maintain comfort and safety 💦 along with all our other safety measures.

Think of how you can break this process down into the easiest increments for your individual dog, building slowly according to their responses.

With temperatures soaring, for here anyway, you are your dogs best protection against the effects heat related illness.
It happens quick and there are absolutely things that you can do to prevent it. But if it happens please note the most up to date and evidence based information, which is thankfully, becoming better recognised.

Expectations!
Learning allows us to know what’s coming next. Behaviour happens under certain conditions that help learners predict outcomes.
They are also learning what behaviours they will need to make those outcomes available.

If we can understand the conditions under which behaviour happens and what our learners predict, we can teach them behaviours that help them control what happens to them, and that are safer for that situation.

After pooping, Decker learns that Go Find it! happens so while he’s sniffing, I’m scooping, knowing that he’s safe and close to me.

Last chance to book your spot on our July workshops!

Part 1 is on Saturday 12th and part 2 is on Saturday 26th and each workshop starts at 7pm, running about two hours but often goes longer with questions and discussion. And the two parts cost just €50!

Join us! We discuss evidence based emergency care including that relating to heat related illnesses...which is timely and vital to bust the myths so regularly shared.

We are talking senior-dogs again! Carers of senior dogs need education & support in keeping their aging dog happy and healthy, for sure.
But carers also need empathy; understanding the realities that impact quality of life... of the human end of the leash. It's not all golden and that's ok, it's supposed to be conflicting.

Happy Pride 🌈

Celebrating the great strides made for inclusivity and admiring those who have and continue to fight for equality, we are reminded of the gross injustices, inequity and exploitation affecting the most vulnerable.

Our dogs, as integral parts of the human story, are also affected by these same systems that facilitate genocide, war mongering and suffering, that inform our cultural and societal attitudes to dogs and their behaviour.

We stand for love, equity, justice, support, science, awareness and for caring for those who need the most support. Dogs are the epitome of all that is good and nothing better personifies love is love.

Barking/lunging toward other dogs functions differently for different individuals. Regardless, the goals may be the same and that is, to help that dog learn they can 'ignore' other dogs under specific conditions (e.g., at 10m distance) and move on with their lives.

This can be super challenging for many reasons but there are many effective and kind approaches to helping these Teams.

I love friendship-outings as a tool to help, as part of a wider intervention program. Hanging out with a dog who is unlikely to get excited about other dogs and environmental goings-on, can act as a calm social model, and working in interesting environments dilutes the presence of this dog.

Recognising that behaviour happens in the environment (the dog is not "reactive"), empowers us to make changes to those conditions to allow for the reinforcement of other behaviours (other than barking/lunging).

That's on us. Dogs rarely have control over what happens to them in their human-centric worlds, and particularly in fast paced environments tethered to a sometimes oblivious primate. We can learn to do better!

Practice these skills under safer conditions helps the human build their skills and confidence in helping their dog. Behaviour happens in the environment and the most influential factor there is us, so this is about human skill-development.

We have a program to help you, starting with remote work to gather all the information, one-to-one work to help you develop foundation skills, and then possibly group work to generalise your skills.
This is not just a walk in the park, there is plenty of work to do and lots of skills-practice...lots...but all the while hanging out with your dog, building your Teamwork together ❤

When we talk behavioural development, there are many contributors, past and present, having a say in how that dog responds to their world.

To say that "puppies are clean slates" is inaccurate and a profound underestimation of the impacts of everything that puppy has been exposed to since conception.

There are genetic effects and epigenetic effects affecting behavioural development from conception. By the time a puppy is ~12 weeks and approaching the end of some of the most impressionable and impactful periods in brain and body development, there have already been months of effects in play.
And this stuff that happens during these early months impacts behaviour throughout life.

At the same time, to say "that it's all in how they're raised" is also inaccurate and dismissing the impact of genetics and epigenetics effects.

To give puppies and dogs the best chances of thriving in the human world, there are many considerations and care required with the genetic mix, the experiences of mum before & throughout pregnancy, the environment into which puppies are born, and everything else that happens to them before they even come home.

Part of welfare is ensuring this is central to providing dogs with the best outcomes. And, where we haven't been able to directly adjust these early elements, we must recognise deficits and put interventions in place immediately to prevent further damage to brain and behaviour development and ensure we have current elements in place to meet needs appropriately.

Handsome Oskar is all teenager…and then some ❤️

He, and his awesome humans, are off on a big adventure soon but that doesn’t mean training comes to an end.
AniEd sees Teams all over the world so it will be lovely to continue to work with Team Oskar and continue to be part of their journey 🙂
