Dog on the hunt!
The snufflemat is a good tool to have on hand to provide your dog an outlet for hunting and exploring. Like the Kong, it has many applications. Here is Leo using his snuffle mat just to give him something to do.

Dachshunds?!

Dachshunds originated in Germany during medieval times. Their names means Badger Dog and they were, indeed, used to hunt badgers.

They make wonderful family companions. Their coats come in 3 varieties— Smoothcoat, Longhaired and Wirehaired.
The photos below are of the Smoothcoat and Wirehaired varieties.

Basset!
The Basset comes from France but is used in America mostly for hunting for rabbits! He is second only to the Bloodhound in the accuracy of his nose!
He requires little in the way of grooming ( except for keeping those long ears clean) and is an easy- going and loyal family member.

The Black and Tan Coonhound can be a wonderful addition to your home. Friendly, outgoing and even tempered your biggest concern is ensuring that their backyard has a good secure fence.
The Black and Tan is a scent hound and is prone to go on “unsupervised walks” given half the chance. Using his great sense of smell he loves to follow and track any local animal and will walk miles to find it!

So true. There are several ways to help your nervous scaredy dog during Halloween. Always have a safe space for your pet. Crate training your dog can be a huge help. When things become too much they have their own little hideaway to feel safe from all the goblins and activity.

🎃 HALLOWEEN PET SAFETY 🎃

Costumes, masks, decorations and strangers coming to your door can all make for an anxious evening for your pet. Plus all that candy being passed around can pose a health risk to them if ingested. A few tips to keep your furry loved ones safe:

👻 Keep your pets indoors, preferably in a secure quiet room or crate. If you are going out trick-or-treating with family, best to leave your dog home especially if they tend to be nervous.

👻 Keep candy out of reach. Many “treats”contain substances toxic to pets such as chocolate or xylitol (a common sugar substitute found in sugar-free candies and gum).

👻 Make sure your pet has identification (microchip +/- collar & ID tag) which will make it easier for someone to contact you in case they accidentally escape through an open door while you're greeting trick-or-treaters.

👻 Keep lit candles, jack-o-lanterns, and other decorations out of reach.

👻 Keep all human costume pieces away from dogs & cats along with glow sticks, batteries, and other holiday items. These things could cause choking, internal injury, or illness.

👻 If you plan to put a costume on your pet, make sure it fits properly & comfortably and doesn’t have any pieces that can easily be chewed off or cause choking. Don’t block or restrict your pet's sight, hearing, breathing or movement while they are wearing it. If they seem agitated or stressed, best to limit wear or skip it altogether.

Have a safe & happy Howl-O-Ween!! 🐶

Walking on a loose leash is a skill that needs to be learned. Start in the house with fewer distraction. Build up slowly before taking it outside.

Bob the basset is a new(er) edition to this multidog family. When he is bored he looks for things to do. Today his Dad and I discussed options for managing the mischief that sometimes occurs when he is left to manage himself too long. Hounds, whether Bassets, Black and Tans, Blue Ticks or other are scent hounds. Scenting games can help alleviate boredom and enrich your dog’s life.

Zeus is a young adult German Shepherd Dog learning the basics. Most dogs are eager to work and he is no exception. Like people, dogs are generally more content when occupied than not. If you give your dog something to do, they won’t have to find something to do on their own. ( Sometimes you may not like their choices!)

Crate training a dog is viewed by some owners as cruel. But dogs are naturally denning animals. In the wild, canids ( fox, wolves, etc.) seek out places to rest where they feel protected and where predators and other threats are less likely found. Teaching your dog that the crate is a good thing simplifies his life and yours. Here is Otto relaxing after an early morning walk. He goes to his crate throughout the day just to chill. The door is always open.
