That chew toy may look like fun, or your dog may think antlers are delicious—but both could be hiding trouble for your pets.

As Spring starts, we are getting more and more phone calls about red bites on your dogs stomach. We wanted to give everyone this information, these are a type of fly bite, and dogs generally get them from laying in the grass. They look terrible, but usually do not bother the dogs. They heal quickly on their own, and do not require any treatment. These flies are usually around for a few weeks every spring and then go away. We hope this eases any worry that you may have had about your own dog!
If you have any concerns please feel free to call the clinic for more information!

When most people think about Canine Enrichment, a stuffable Kong or puzzle feeder may come to mind. While food-based enrichment offers a fantastic way to keep our pups stimulated, it's important to talk about the wide variety of non-food related enrichment games as well. In part one, we'll cover: Fl...

If crate trained properly than a dog should love their crate and find it as a safe place to be especially in situations as...

Parties
Thunderstorms
Firework Displays
Loud children
etc...

A crate can help you teach your dog manners and keep him safe and out of trouble when you're not around to supervise.

If you have a moment to read, I would recommend you do. 😔

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has recalled pet food products which led to at least 28 deaths and eight illnesses in dogs that ate the recalled product.

This is one of my favorite quotes.

🛇 Use your Manners! 🛇
The Sniff test - Stop doing that!
The sniff test - a badly engrained habit that society has been taught, without a clear understanding of what they're actually doing.

🚩When you reach out towards a dog, you are using body pressure AT them, giving them no time to assess whether you are safe & whether they require further investigation to pick up your information. You are forcing an interaction of a relationship that hasn't had time to develop. To some dogs, this is quite rude & the reason a lot of dogs snap at or bite people. This can cause alot of behavioral issues because of layered stress due to forced interactions.

🚩If they are on lead, they have no where to go if they are sensitive to spacial pressure, so can end up shutting down, shying away or snapping at your hand so you back off. This is an example of how a dog is now using pressure to turn off pressure & make you back off so they aren't so stressed.

🚩People think by offering your hand it can give the dog time to sniff to know you're friendly... they can sniff without being forced to sniff your hand.Their noses are far more superior than ours & they don't need close contact forced upon them to smell you.

🚩Some dogs might not want to know you. You have no relationship with them and that's perfectly fine. They aren't your dog so you don't need to touch them or steal pats for your own satisfaction.

🤔 If you are meeting a dog, what should you do?
⚠Ask the owner if you can interact with their dog. Not all people want strangers touching their dogs. Especially strangers who you are unlikely to see again.
⚠Stand up straight & relaxed, with your hands at your side.
⚠Ignore the dog & talk to the owner.
⚠Don't stare at the dog & don't try to force an interaction by going in for a pat. If the dog wants to know you, it will come up to you & sniff around. Usually they will move away & then come back for a second sniffathon. Some dogs will bunt your hands & wag their tails, which are good signs that you're likely an accepted new friend. Give them a few slow pats down their back (NOT THEIR HEAD) & then stop. Is the dog happy? Has it accepted your interaction? This will determine whether you can give it more pats.

🐶This is a more stress free option for dogs & a reason why in consultations we can develop a good level of trust, especially with fearful dogs & aggressive dogs, without a bunch of negative side effects from forced interactions.

So sweet!

The Most Colorado Thing We Saw Today is the length a dog owner will go to care for his pet.

Canela doesn't like the snow. So Mike in Westminster puts down some plywood before it snows, so she has a grassy spot for her business. That's being a best friend. (Photo: Mike)

Happy Birthday to my pride and joy. My business. Come Sit Down Animal Training & Behavior. It's been 5 years. 5 long years of ups and downs, thoughts of giving up and not giving up but also achievements beyond what I would have thought. Being an entrepreneur has been one of the hardest but most rewarding things I have ever done. I strive and hope that things will keep amazing me and will get better and better as time goes on. I have learned everything about running a business by running my business and I keep learning everyday. It's so much fun and I love it. Remember, always follow those dreams you dream of. Work your ass off and keep one goal in mind. SUCCESS! ❤

Remember dogs don't see the same colors that we do. Please remember to be aware of these things when buying toys and other stuff for dogs. 😊

I hope everyone is staying safe in these hard times. 💜
