3- Take your pups out to potty on a leash!!

Houston, it's that time of year again! Always remember to check the temperature of the ground before you let your pet walk on it. The hot asphalt injures countless pets each year. It's more dangerous than you think! Check out our blog post where share tips to help you and your pup keep your daily walks safe as well as signs and symptoms to look out for in case your pup has an injury! https://overyondercanine.weebly.com/blog/hot-houston-pavement-is-more-dangerous-than-you-realize

[Image description: A light blue infographic displays infromation about hot asphalt. At the top of the image there are multicolored paw prints with a small brown and white dog running on the right hand side. In brown text the title reads, “Is the ground too hot for my paws?” Under the title is a small comparison chart showing the air versus asphalt temperature difference. 77 degrees farenheight in the air equals 125 degrees farenheight on the ground. 86 degrees is 135, 87 degrees is 143, and 102 degrees in farenheight is 167 degrees on the ground. To the right of this comparison chart is a list. “Beat the heat and keep your pet safe during these hot summer days. 1. Walk when it’s cooler. 2. Stick to the grass! 3. Wear protective paw gear. At the bottom of the grapic there is another line of text. “At 125 degrees farenheight skin destruction can happen in just 60 seconds. It it’s too hot for youre bare feet - it’s too hot for theirs!” To the left of this lone of text is the Over Yonder Canine logo.]

This is a fantastic visual representation of the work that goes into teaching ONE command to a pup!

It’s hard work but the work is worth it!

We are soooo excited to officially share our handout on the Stages of Training. Thank you Doggie Drawings by Lili Chin for bringing this to life! This handout is used for clients to follow their dog's training progress!
It goes through all the stages of learning:
1. Acquisition (get the behavior)
2. Fluency (add the cue)
3. Generalization (proof the behavior)
4. Maintenance (maintain the behavior)

Edit to clarify:
1. This is FREE for you to use/make copies of for clients, but not the edit.
2. “As taught by Jean Donaldson” refers to Push, Stick, Drop

Thanks for all the support! 🐾💙🐾

Did you know that in the US there is no certification, identification, or documentation for service dogs?

The Americans With Disabilities Act states the only things that are required for someone to have a service dog is that they have a disability and the dog is trained to help alleviate their symptoms!

Skunk mating season is starting soon. Here’s the secret to protecting your pet AND your nose!

[Image Description:

The image has a pale yellow background. At the top is a decorative red and yellow ribbon that display’s the title. “So Your Dog Got Skunked.” Standing on top of the red ribbon are two cute icons. One of a small skunk, and the other of a small brown dog.

“Skunk mating season is February through march with the babies being born in April and May. practice good leash manners and Keep a close eye on your dog when in skunk territory to prevent being sprayed!”

In the middle of the image is a bold yellow stripe with the words “DO NOT GET THEM WET” written across it. Below is another paragraph of text. “Water will seal the skunk's oil secretion into your dog's hair follicle and skin. This could make your pet smell for weeks or even months!” To the left of these words is an icon of a large brown fluffy dog in a bubble bath.

At the bottom of the image, a red ribbon marks the start of the next section. “Instead” is written in white text. “Make a paste with baking soda and dog shampoo. Apply the mixture liberally onto your pet while dry. Make sure they are fully saturated and let the paste sit for 30 minutes. Once the timer is up, bathe like normal!” In the bottom left of the image is an icon of a shampoo bottle and on the right is the Over Yonder Canine logo.]

Did you know that crate training your new puppy can be one of the most valuable building blocks to set them up for the perfect adulthood?

Crate training your puppy can help you speed along their house training, Crating your puppy while they can’t be supervised prevents the puppy from practicing bad habits like chewing on furniture or ingesting toxic items. Allowing your puppy to spend alone time where you know they are safe helps your puppy to mature into a confident adult dog.

Utilizing kennels, x-pens, and puppy-proof areas in your day to day routine gives your pup a jumpstart in life!

[Image Description: The image is blocked off into four sections. At the top is a light brown background and the title is a deep brown in bold font. The title reads, “New Puppy?”. The Over Yonder Canine logo is to the top right of the image.
The middle is split into two sections. On the left side is a bulleted list,
“Start them off on the right foot by crate training!

Easier Potty Training
Prevents Separation Anxiety
Doesn't Allow Puppy To Form Bad Habits
Lets Puppy Learn To Self Soothe
Provides A Great Foundation For A Confident Adult Dog”

On the right side is an image of a French Bulldog puppy that is sleeping in someone’s arms.

The bottom section has a solid cool brown background and says, “A huge part of dog ownership is setting them up for success. Don't skimp on the basic foundations of raising a great puppy!”]
