She raided the bin with noble grace,
Then had a picnic in her favourite place.
Crisp packets, pizza, a mouldy bun
Five-star dining in the midday sun

If you think that your dog is becoming dehydrated, provide water and contact your veterinarian.

On the Water

If your dog is comfortable and interested, give kayaking, canoeing or paddle boarding a try with your dog.

Be sure that your dog is wearing a life jacket.

Acclimation to any watercraft may take time depending on the individual dog. Never force your dog to participate - always allow your dog to opt out.

What if your dog is scared of being groomed? Doesn’t want to go to the vet anymore? Has trouble with getting into his harness or you can’t cut his nails anymore?

If you are training for the procedure with the wrong steps and tools, things can become (and unfortunately often) worse. Your dog might accept it now, but this can turn into shut-down behavior or aggressive behavior. As a result, you and your dog will feel miserable, especially if it is a care act that repeatedly needs to be given. How can you give your dog real choice and control? How do you keep him motivated? And what can you do when he needs to receive care but you have not trained for yet?

In this live masterclass, you'll learn how to turn care into cooperation:

-What choice and control really look like in care training
-How to use Start, Stop and Continue buttons
-The 3 most important foundation behaviors to teach first
-A clear 5-step process to build up any care procedure
-What to do when care has to happen but you haven’t trained for it yet

We will discuss real-life cases, step-by-step examples, and you will get practical tips you can apply right away — even if your dog is sensitive or reactive. Feel free to join and dive into the amazing world of cooperative care.

FREE event, donations optional!

Preventatives

Warm summer temperatures increase the spread of contagious diseases when more dogs are out and about. Warm weather also brings on fleas, mosquitoes and ticks.

Be sure that your dog is up to date on vaccinations and you are staying current with anti-parasitics.

Remember, cats may have special needs and mobility issues that we need to make accommodations for.
