I no longer use retractable leashes.

Any leash is better than none… but a standard leash is best.

The extra long length allows the dog to be too far away from the owner to advocate and be in control of any possible situations and altercations.

I recently read an article where a young girl in Florida lost her eye due to a retractable leash bouncing back after her dog hit the end hard 😢

They can be so dangerous for humans and dogs. Please choose a safe & appropriate leash for you and your dogs 🐾

Scratching

The need to scratch is a normal and beneficial behavior in cats. Provide an appealing and sturdy option for your cat and place it in a convenient location. I recommend offering both vertical and horizontal surfaces. If you have more than one cat, provide multiple scratching options in different locations. And remember, never ever punish your cat for scratching.

Vertical Territory

A sturdy, well-made cat tree will last your cat's lifetime. Although a tree may initially seem like an expensive purchase, it's an important part of your cat's environment and territory. When shopping for a cat tree, look for one that is very sturdy, has wide perches that will be comfortable for your cat, and has enough perches so a less mobile cat can still access the top perch by climbing on the lower ones. When shopping for cat shelves and other elevated options, always choose sturdy, wide ones that can be firmly installed.

Oral health is important for pet, too!

Lindsay was in her office when she heard the salon door open. She couldn’t see who came in, but she quickly realized it was “Roadkill” Charlie…because she could smell him.

Don’t be a distracted dog walker.

DISTRACTED DOG WALKERS

The distracted dog walker is commonly seen chatting on their cell phone, wearing headphones or socializing with other people while oblivious to what their dog is doing, how their dog is feeling or what is going on in the environment.

This may not sound like a problem to some, but it is something that many people have a problem with, even more so if you have a reactive dog.

I compare walking a dog to driving a car. It’s not so much about our driving skills, but having to constantly be aware of the driving skills of others – trying to predict what they will do, which rules of the road they will ignore and how distracted they are. This is especially true in the country I live in, where driving can be a stressful experience.

I understand that we often need to multi task – there simply doesn’t seem to be enough time in our day to accomplish everything we need to, but walking our dogs should not be one of these times.

Some people might say – “but my dog is really friendly, well socialized, gets on well with everyone, is well trained, knows this environment well etc. and I hear that.

But another dog might not be – maybe they need space, are reactive, are not sociable, are recovering from an illness, might be terrified of another dog racing straight towards them chasing a ball thrown from a ball launcher etc.

If distracted dog walkers have no regard for other dogs or other people, they should at least have regard for their own dogs. Walking your dog should be a time of bonding, of relationship, of seeing the environment through the eyes of your dog, of reinforcing and teaching wanted behaviours, of keeping them safe and protected from the unknown.

Our dogs need us to be focused, to pay attention, to be aware and attentive.

Our dogs depend on us to advocate for them.
