Pawsitive Play Dog Training

❤️

Socialisation is a term that many struggle to define.
It's often confused with play, but play is a completely separate and important skill.
In a world that pushes constant interaction ….where dogs are expected to greet and play with every other dog they see, we can unintentionally create a dog who views every other dog as a source of excitement.
This isn’t socialisation… and it never was.

A better way to think about socialisation is acclimation, helping your dog adjust to everything the world offers, not just other dogs.

Weather
Surfaces
Animals
Crowds of people, all ethnicities, ages, and movement styles
Noises
Scents

That’s just a taste of what true socialisation really is.

Acceptance is another way to view it.
Accepting, not reacting.
Building positive associations.

That is true socialisation.

Pet owners: Be careful with your pet the next few days during this heat wave. Your pet can sustain paw burns in about 1 minute on hot asphalt and 5 minutes on a concrete sidewalk. And while your pet may love taking car rides while you run errands, and are usually just fine staying in the car while you go into the stores, leave those pets at home this week. Your car's interior temp can increase up to 20 degrees in as little as 10 minutes when the air temp is in the 90's.

Summer is heating up, and so is the risk of heat stroke for our furry friends! Dogs can overheat quickly, especially in hot cars, on long walks, or even just playing outside.

🐶 Prevention tips:
▪️Never leave your dog in a parked car
▪️Walk during cooler parts of the day
▪️Provide shade and plenty of water
▪️Know your dog’s limits

Let’s keep our pups safe and happy this summer! ❤️🐕
