WHAT ARE DOGS TRYING TO CONVEY THROUGH THEIR BARKS?

A dog's bark can convey a variety of messages, depending on the context, tone, frequency, and pitch. Here are some common interpretations of a dog's bark:

Alert/Alarm Barking: Rapid, loud, and continuous barking. This signifies the dog is alerting its owner to a potential threat or something unusual in the environment. It could be a stranger approaching, an unfamiliar sound, or another animal.

Territorial Barking: Loud and deep barks, often combined with a defensive posture. When a dog barks in this manner he is trying to protect its territory from intruders. This is common when a dog perceives someone or something entering its space.

Attention-Seeking Barking: A series of short, high-pitched barks signify that the dog wants attention, food, play, or some other form of interaction from its owner.

Playful Barking:High-pitched and accompanied by playful behavior like tail wagging or a "play bow", means the dog is excited and wants to play. This type of bark is usually more friendly and less intense.

Fearful/Anxious Barking: High-pitched, repetitive, and may be accompanied by retreating or hiding behavior signifies The dog is scared or anxious. This can happen during thunderstorms, fireworks, or unfamiliar environments.

Boredom Barking: Monotonous and repetitive barking means the dog is bored and looking for stimulation or something to do.

Greeting Barking: Happy, short barks, often accompanied by a wagging tail and relaxed body posture. This means the dog is greeting someone familiar, expressing excitement and happiness.

Compulsive Barking: Repetitive barking that seems to have no obvious reason. This can be a sign of a behavioral issue where the dog barks compulsively. It may need training or behavior modification to address this.

Pain Barking: Sharp, yelping barks mean the dog is in pain or discomfort. This type of barking often occurs suddenly and is associated with physical distress.

Understanding the context in which a dog barks, along with their body language, can provide more accurate insights into what they are trying to communicate and help the owners know the needs of their dogs better.

If your cat's claws get too long, they can start to curve and grow into their paw pads causing a lot of pain and problems. It's best to keep an eye on your cat's claws so you know if they're starting to get too long.
Ideally, you shouldn't hear the claws tapping on the ground when they walk as the pressure on their paws can cause discomfort and change their gait, in turning putting pressure on joints.
If their claws are getting stuck in your clothing, bedding or carpets, this is a sign their claws need trimming.
Scratch posts are great for a place to go to when your cat wants to scratch something , but in general, don't aid in keeping claws trim 🐾🐾

Don't let your dog play you for a FOOL today.🤣

If your dog is testing you, breathe.🧘‍♂️ It's totally normal.

Dogs will adjust quickly to a balanced, consistent routine and a confident leader.

But when they experience inconsistency (ie when your training slips) they'll start to test YOUR boundaries, and see how serious you actually are about taking on the role of leader and protector. Dogs won't follow an unstable leader, so if you aren't confident and consistent with maintaining your energy, you'll quickly see regression in your dog's training.

⚡️HOT TIPS to get you through;
- Check yourself; breathe, project calm energy and don't get frustrated.
- Make sure you're fulfilling your dog's needs; exercise (physical & mental) and providing leadership.
- Go back to basics by resetting boundaries and reinforcing training around the home and on your leash-walks.
- Limit affection. Remember, affection should only be given when your dog is in a calm state of mind. Don't reward high energy, or unwanted behaviours. Reward relaxation and respect.

Helping your dog stay in a calm state and live a happy, balanced life is easy when you know what to do! Keep practicing confident leadership, and it'll be second nature in no time.💛

Experts have designed kibble packaging so it can sit on the shelf for months or years and still hold much of its nutrition. But once you open it, the food changes quickly. And those changes can be toxic to your dog .

Synthetic ingredients in dog kibble help keep its shelf life, but as soon as you open it, it starts oxidizing. How long does that kibble really last?
