Sound buttons to teach your dogs a human language: yay or nay?

Why not spend the looonggg time you need to teach your dog to associate the word/button to learn your dog’s (body) language instead?

A viral, online phenomenon claims to have further opened the door to human-canine communication. Buttons allow dogs to seemingly talk with their humans, but ...

While dogs do so much for us, we also have a duty to them. It’s just as important for owners to take care of themselves so that they can take care of their dog.

For many owners, dogs are more than just pets—they’re members of our family, part of our social circles, and a source of strong emotional support in times of need. But what many owners don’t know is that their emotional well-being can have a measurable impact on their dog’s health and behavior.

Tired of your dog judging you for being boring? Yeah, we’ve all been there. Lucky for you, Bark of Duty has got some ideas to keep your pup entertained so they stop giving you the side-eye. 👀

1. Physical Enrichment: Dog Sports like Trailing or FetchBesides just your regular walks, you can also look into doing dog sports such as trailing or fetch to provide the physical exercise that helps to keep your dog active and healthy.

2. Mental Enrichment: Puzzle Toys or Snuffle MatsEngage your dog’s brain with a puzzle toy or a snuffle mat. Hide treats inside these toys, and watch as your dog uses their nose and problem-solving skills to find their reward. This keeps them mentally sharp and prevents boredom—perfect for those days when a long walk isn’t possible.

3. Social Enrichment: Doggy PlaydatesOnly if you dog enjoys it, you can also organise a doggy playdate with a friend’s dog. These social interactions are great for boosting your dog’s confidence, improving social skills, and tiring them out in the process.

Check out this new study on spay-neuter guidelines. 😲📚🔬✂️

Frontiers in Veterinary Science recently published this study on the ideal timeline for choosing to spay or neuter popular dog breeds in an effort to prevent the development of certain joint disorders or cancers. 🐾

In general, if a dog is spayed or neutered TOO EARLY, the lack of mature reproductive organs impacts hormone production, and could prevent connective tissues from developing properly. The lack of s*x hormones from EARLY altering in dogs could also increase the likelihood of cancers affecting bones, blood vessels, and lymph nodes. (This study focuses on EARLY neutering/spaying. There are still health benefits from neutering/spraying your dog, like reduction in risk of certain cancers and infections.)

🧐 That said, this study is specifically looking at certain joint disorders or cancers. 🦮 For female Golden Retrievers, do check out this statement by Dr. Christensen of , a vet specialising in reproductive services.

“This chart presents recommendations based on orthopedic and cancer risks and does not consider pyometra risk, which is estimated to be around 25% for females left intact. To eliminate the pyometra risk and preserve the benefits of being intact with regard to cancer risk, an ovary-sparing spay (OSS) can be performed. It is important to keep OSS females away from intact males to prevent mating and possible s***m-induced peritonitis (s***m breaking through scar tissue and gaining access to the abdomen).”

Check with your vet for detailed advice on the neutering and spaying of your dog!
