Dog Whisperer Services offers both dog training and dog whispering services. Training involves teaching your pet to follow commands or perform tricks. Whispering involves solving behavioural problems by teaching the dog owner how to 'speak dog' and how to read their dog's body language. Our goal is to improve the relationship between owner and dog by showing people the natural way to interact with their canine friend. You and your dog can have a happy, stress-free life together!

Most dogs recover from kennel cough in two to three weeks. To be sure keep your dog out of activities for a week after the last cough.

As your dog retrieves the first...second...third...maybe fifth or sixth ball, his muscles start to tire and soon they reach overload, where they no longer can fully control and support your dog's movements. Now, when your dog does those amazing athletic maneuvers to snag the ball, soft tissues like the cranial cruciate ligament, iliopsoas muscle and tendon, and the muscles and ligaments that support the vertebrae are overstretching. Minor tears are occurring. Now the ball is thrown 10, 12 times or more and ultimately your dog lies down, exhausted.

That period between when your dog's muscles are in overload, and when your dog lies down exhausted, is the injury zone (Figure 1). But remember, with all that adrenaline, your dog doesn't feel the injuries happening, so you have no idea that the tissues are being used beyond their capacity.

When this game is repeated day after day, month after month, the small tissue tears become large ones, and suddenly it becomes evident that your dog is in pain and has an injury. Of course, it hasn't been sudden at all-what seemed sudden is just the final result of repeated stress and strain until the tissues gave way.

If they're not putting weight on a limb - that's because it hurts! No different to humans. They don't limp because they're not in pain, they limp because they are. Keep your eye on your pups :-)

Yes, Cat The Vet !!! We couldn't agree more!

'He's limping, but he's not in pain!'

This is something we hear, a lot.

And unfortunately it can lead to a huge amount of pets carrying on with chronic pain without the necessary medicinal or multimodal support.

An article by Vet Help Direct helps to explain more about where this confusion stems from:

Limping and stiffness can be caused by several different conditions. The most common being acute injuries and skeletal issues like osteoarthritis (OA). As many as 80% of dogs over 8 years old have OA in one or more joints.

The way that our dogs display pain may not be how we expect; limping usually equals pain or discomfort!

The article covers:

➡️ The difference between acute and chronic pain
➡️ If your pet will ever limp without pain
➡️ Treatment options

Eden's weave session today. We've been working on her entrances and exits, getting blind crosses on her exits and better entrances from all angles. The start of running in the opposite direction to her. Really happy with her progress and the transference into the ring is paying off :-)
