Behavior 101 - Raised Hackles

Each Wednesday, we will be posting a dog behavior and what it means when you see it. Keep your eye out for these behaviors and take note of when you see them to help you learn what your dog is trying to say to you.

When a dog has their hackles raised, it can mean several things, from nervous or unsure about the situation up to and including ready for fight or flight. It is a defensive behavior that should indicate caution to their human owner.

🐶🐶Basenji🐶🐶

Basenji's are energetic and mischievious at times. They will need lots of training, enrichment and exercise. Short training sessions are best with positive techniques. Don't give them a chance to get bored as that could end up in destruction.

SUPPORT YOUR SHELTER - Get a GPS For Your Pet

Shelters are full and we can all help by making sure we know where out pets are and preventing them from escaping. In the event they do escape, having a GPS for your pet allows you to check your phone and locate them quickly and easily. Invest in a GPS to help the overcrowding of your local shelter.

🐾🐾CANINE TIP🐾🐾

Cue, don't Command

One of the best things about positive reinforcement training is the relationship and trust you can build with your dog. I believe in giving your dog choice as much as possible, so while at the surface it's a simple wording change, I make a conscious effort to give cues to my dog vs. commands.

Behavior 101 - Head Turn

Each Wednesday, we will be posting a dog behavior and what it means when you see it. Keep your eye out for these behaviors and take note of when you see them to help you learn what your dog is trying to say to you.

If your dog turns his/her head away from you, they are asking for space. They could be anxious or fearful, of they could just be saying they don't want to participate in whatever is taking place. A head turn is often accompanied with ears back and/or a tense jawline. If you see your pup giving these signs, give them space so they feel more comfortable.

🐶🐶Greyhound🐶🐶

Greyhounds are sighthounds. They are independant and get bored easily, so when training, make sure you are using short sessions with lots of breaks. They will need an owner dedicated to their needs.

SUPPORT YOUR SHELTER - Give Your New Pup Time

When you adopt any animal there will be a period of time when they are adjusting. Generally speaking, they need a minimum of 72 hours to begin to get comfortable in their new home, three weeks to understand this is their new normal, and three months for you to really see their personality and for them to adjust. Do your research before adopting, give your new pup this time, give them grace and understanding as they are adjusting.

Behavior 101 - Wiggle Butt

Each Wednesday, we will be posting a dog behavior and what it means when you see it. Keep your eye out for these behaviors and take note of when you see them to help you learn what your dog is trying to say to you.

When your pup runs toward you with their rear-end wiggling, it means they are happy and excited to see you. It is relaxed body language that tells you they are comfortable with you or other animals that are around.
