This morning Henry and I encountered a coyote on our walk. Although it was not too close without a solid recall many dogs would have given chase. I called Henry and he returned immediately, I put him back on leash until the coyote was far away. When a dog has been E collar trained correctly and fairly there is no fear or distress, but rather freedom and confidence.
I only have Henry for a few more days but I am thrilled to send him home with this valuable skill.

I donโ€™t expect a young dog to โ€œheelโ€ very much but I want them to know how to do it. So after a good off leash run I can work on this behavior. It shows the dog I am fair in what I ask for from them.

๐Ÿ˜ณ spread the word not the virus!!!!

โ€ผ๏ธPARVOVIRUSโ€ผ๏ธ

Canine Parvovirus is baaaaaad right now. We have had 4 cases in the last month and a half, affecting about 30 dogs (most were litters of puppies) in the shelter. These pups came in as strays with the virus already brewing in their system and breaking with clinical signs about a week later. Luckily, we contained it to just the initially effected cages. Phew. Are we stressed out and panic any time we see vomit and bloody diarrhea in a cage... you know it! We've also had numerous owned dogs come in due to being ill, and the owners chose not to treat or couldn't afford treatment.

We have treated these cases and have had a decent survival rate. Some dogs even made it through treatment, and we're adopted before the area they lived in was off their quarantine period.

Parvovirus is so highly contagious & can be spread so easily that your dog does not even need to leave their yard to contract this disease & you the owner can take it home on the bottom of your shoes or on your clothing. The most common places for contraction of parvo are dog parks, communial potty areas in housing developments, and pet stores. Unvacinated dogs should not visit these areas until the full series of vaccinations is complete. We know it's cute to go get your new puppy a fancy collar and treats, but unfortunately, it's just not safe.

Dogs, who are puppies & not had their full course of vaccinations, as well as younger dogs who are not vaccinated at all, are most at risk of contracting this horrible disease. If left untreated, the pet generally passes.

Join us in our morning chant: "no parvo, no parvo, no parvo"

Henry said โ€œ I want to play!!โ€
Ramsay has a big play style which includes expecting the other dog to like being chased by him! Ramsay is fast and can turn very quickly which Henry was not prepared for so I must be able to stop him and take the pressure off Henry.
Itโ€™s not OK to let your dog scare or intimidate another dog so make sure you understand how your dog plays, always supervise and control interactions between dogs.
Oh and get out of the way๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I just started layering in the vibration on the recall with Henry. If you are watching this and wondering why he has so many collars on let me explain: the light blue collar is his collar with tags, the dark brown collar is a flat martingale collar that he can not slip out of. He then has an emergency line attached to the brown martingale, the training collar and the leash. This is in case the training collar fails so I have a back up second line on him. Keep in mind he is not my dog so safety is always a concern. The royal blue collar is the E collar for his off leash training. As his training progresses some equipment may be removed and of course he is never left alone with any collar on.
He is doing very well and I love his happy, quick turn back when he hears โ€œhereโ€๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’™
Good boy Henry!

With new group classes starting soon itโ€™s a good idea to understand what socialization means for dogs. Itโ€™s not what most people think!!

Henry saw horses, goats and sheep perhaps for the first time on our evening walk last night!

A great video of Henry doing a natural behavior he was bred for!! He tracked my footsteps back on the trail and made the right turn without my help.

Itโ€™s along video but good information about how I feel that first you must give the dog what he needs, before he can give you what you want.

It is very important to understand you need to give the dog TIME!

The 3-3-3 rule is a guideline for transitioning an adopted dog into its new home and helping it to settle in. It suggests that the first three days should be used for adjusting to its new surroundings, the next three weeks for training and bonding, and the first three months for continued socialization and training.
