Dear city folk,
Olaf lives outside.
He never ever comes inside.
He was bred for this.
He has lived outside since birth.
His job is to guard the livestock.
He has a shelter he can go into.
He has a heated water source.
He is fine.
He is thriving.
This isn't a pet.
This isn't a show dog.
This is a Livestock Guardian Dog.
Don't judge what you don't understand.

This dog would make an incredible home/personal protection dog. Those black eye spots would put the fear of all things unholy in any bad guy out there. Plus he's a 125 pound dog. Nobody is gonna challenge him!

This!

This!

It's sad to see people being told to invade all areas of their dogs life. Let's assume that like us, they want agency, undisturbed rest and that they have the right to manage their meal without strange human interruptions.

Did you know, something as simple as sniffing a pile of leaves can have a calming effect on your dog? πŸ‚

Engaging a primary scent or carrying out repetitive actions such as licking or chewing (providing there’s no threat in the environment) are considered meditative processes. Why? Because they support appropriate gating of sensory integration.

This damping down of activity between neurons means there’s less traffic between the different brain areas, making communication much more ordered and rhythmical.

When we punish dogs for growling, even if they're growling at our child, we aren't helping them feel better about whatever it is that is threatening them. Instead, we are teaching to stop letting us know when they feel unsafe.

The result? A dog who stops giving us warning signs and "bites out of the blue."
And, that's how we create dangerous dogs. I'd much rather have a dog growl and tell me they're upset (so we have a chance to intervene and help them) than a dog who just bites without any warning signs.

With the hot temperatures, I'm keeping a lookout for blue-green algae blooms in our ponds. Our dogs swim and walk tummy-deep in the ponds, occasionally drinking the water. I've learned what steps to take to keep our ponds safe for our dogs and local wildlife.

Symptoms of Blue-Green Algae Sickness in Dogs

** Vomiting
** Diarrhea
** Blood in stool or black, tarry stool
** Pale mucous membranes
** Jaundice
** Seizures
** Disorientation
** Coma

If your dog experiences any of these symptoms after swimming (or drinking from) a local pond, please get in touch with your veterinarian immediately. Read more at: https://buff.ly/2MzcZt9

Facebook is offering a bonus for the next 31 days. I can earn up to $250,000 for content I post (my following is relatively small so I won't ear anywhere near that much). The more you interact with my posts the more they'll earn so I'd appreciate your reactions, comments and shares! Let's see what happens! 😁

If I make $250,000 I commit to using it to buy property for a dog sanctuary in the Memphis area. Not joking about that.

Teaching Annie a "chin rest". This skill will be the foundation for multiple more complex behaviors later, so it's very important.

Step 1) In the beginning I reach out and put my palm under her chin, then give the cue "chin". I hold that position for a few seconds then release with "ok" and reward.

Step 2) Next, you'll hold the chin for longer and longer periods of time. The goal is for the dog to rest their chin in your hand until they're released, regardless of how long, BUT, it should always be a reasonable amount of time. 30 seconds is a good target.

Step 3) The other piece is to shape this from you gently grabbing their chin to the dog putting their chin in your palm on command. Do this by holding your palm under her chin but not touching. Give the cue "chin" and wait for up to 10 seconds. If they don't put their chin in your palm within 10 seconds, go back to step 2 and practice more.

Finish) The ultimate goal looks like this. Hold your hand out, palm up, and say "chin". The dog places their chin in your palm and holds that position until released with "ok" and a reward. Later we'll use this to direct the dog to place their chin in various locations. Paula Joy

Holly McCall this was the last thing we practiced before Buddy went home. He knows how to do it, we were working on finishing step 2 and starting step 3.
