Love them and respect them for what they are!

Dogs are dogs. They're not fur babies. They're not children. They're dogs.

That doesn't mean I don't love my dogs. It doesn't mean you can't call them your "kids" or "fur children." But for their sake, respect that they are dogs. Treat them well, but treat them as they should be.

People humanizing dogs is actually what's getting a lot of them put down, rehomed, dumped, and loaded with behavioral issues.

The best way to honor and love your dog is to respect the fact that they are different from us. That's part of what makes them so amazing!!

Bringing home a new dog and giving it whatever it wants, whenever it wants, is not setting them up for success. It may feel good to "spoil" them. I get it, but what you're actually doing is creating a brat.

I hear this often: "My dog bit our friend on the couch because he thinks the couch is his." OK, who let them think that? The dog didn't just waltz in and claim your couch. The dog wasn't given boundaries to begin with. I let my dogs on the couch, but if I tell them to get off and go to their bed, they will without hesitation. They've earned that privilege based on respect, trust, and understanding.

If you want to "spoil" your dog, do it by setting them up for success. Exercise them, give them boundaries, give them a job, and give them what they actually need instead of the latest squeaky toy. The time you spend playing with your dog means more than the toy itself.

Love your dog. Cherish your dog. Respect your dog, but for the love of the dog, TREAT THEM LIKE A DOG.

(And before anyone wants to say something silly...My dogs are my family. They literally signed my marriage certificate, but they also have boundaries. Just like any healthy family should!)

Introducing today's Saturday Spotlight, my personal dog, Shilo!❤️

✨ Name: Shilo

🎂 Age: 4 Years Old

🐾 Breed: Lab x Anatolian Shepherd

🥏 Favorite Activity: Frisbee

🎾 Strength: Awesome Toy Drive

Shilo was found abandoned under a house with parvo when she was just 4 weeks old. I immediately began fostering her and rehabbed her with the help of my veterinary mother! After all that Shilo became my first foster fail, and I couldn’t be more thankful for it. She became the perfect sidekick!

Shilo went from sickly puppy to a frisbee crazy beast! She is so fun to train with and keeps me on my toes everyday. Along with being a frisbee queen she has a little attitude and is known for being quite vocal when my frisbee throws are not to her standards! 🤣

Life’s never boring with Shilo!

Happy Hump Day from some awesome adoptable Oxford ARC dogs! 🐫🐾

Play groups were a blast per usual! It’s so nice to see these dogs social skills and manners improve each week, along with their overall mindset! Playgroups, enrichment, walks, and outings are just a couple things the OARC does to keep their pups happy and fulfilled.⭐️

Your Dog Doesn't Need to Say Hi! (Leashed Edition)

When your dog is meeting a new dog for the first time, an on-leash greeting is not generally a good way to do this. Like many other species, dogs have a fight-or-flight natural response linked to survival. When leashed during greetings you are essentially taking the ability for flight away from your dog, leaving the fight. Even if your dog doesn’t want to fight, an on-leash greeting can create too much tension for most dogs to handle, which could result in a dangerous altercation.

Along with taking your dog's option to leave or de-escalate an interaction, leash tension plays a huge role in on-leash meetings. Dogs communicate through body language and a tight leash can cause miscommunication that could quickly turn into a dog fight. Not only can these interactions lead to an injured dog and a vet bill, but they can also result in behavioral problems like; reactivity, anxiety, or even aggression.

Some dogs can comfortably greet their friends on-leash, however it’s not for everyone and you should take into account your dog's body language and normal mannerisms to control the interaction as much as possible.

And remember letting your dog drag you to strange dogs to say “Hi” is rude behavior and may not be appreciated by the other dog and handler.

I set this kennel in the back of my pickup for 15 minutes. Temperature outside is 89 degrees. Digital temperature gauge inside kennel was 104 degrees at end of 15 minutes. We pulled a large dog from this kennel in the back of a pickup ...body temp was 104.3 degrees! Please educate through sharing this.
