🐾🐾CANINE TIP🐾🐾

Frozen Food

Enrichment food items like Kong's and food puzzles, are great to put in the freezer once filled. They last longer and are great boredom busters for your dog! Freeze your Kong's/food puzzles!

🐶🐶Cane Corso🐶🐶

A Cane Corso is a bundle of muscle so training is a must with this breed. You will want to make sure to socialize your puppy and work with a positive reinforcement trainer. It will require a dedicated and experienced owner.

What is your favorite breed? Drop them in the comments and tell us what you love about them.

This is a great, free way you can help out a smaller, local animal sanctuary. Please go tag them in the comments of the original post.

Shades community cats sanctuary is a registered 501(c)(3) we have lots of kitties and some bunnies that call the sanctuary home and we could use all the help we can get. If you click on the original link and tag the sanctuary it can help us get a 10,000 grant. Please go vote for shades this would help our sanctuary sooo much. It only takes a few seconds to comment.

🐾🐾CANINE TIP🐾🐾

Retractable Lead

Retractable leashes seem like a good way to give your dog freedom, but in actuality, they are dangerous and give a false sense of security. They can easily snap, injuring both the human and the dog, they can jerk the human forward at full speed, choke the dog, and much more. Anybody using a retractable leash has very little control. Stick with a flat collar and/or a harness with a regular non-retractable leash.

🐶🐶Icelandic Sheepdog🐶🐶

These dogs are herding dogs and require a lot of exercise. They are generally easy to train because they are eager to please. They don't like being alone, so do better with families who are around most of the time.

🐾🐾CANINE TIP🐾🐾

Consider the Environment

Before training, consider the environment you will be working in. Is it hectic, noisy, calm, too warm, too cold? Look at it from the perspective of the dog, not the human. If it is too distracting or uncomfortable, move to something that will set your dog up for success in training.

Behavior 101 - Submissive Smile

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.

A submissive smile is often confused as a snarl in dogs because they look very similar. It is important to pay attention to other dog behaviors, like where their ears are in comparison to normal, if they have soft/hard eyes and if they have tension in their face, tail position, etc. A submissive smile means the dog is comfortable with you and showing affection.

🐶🐶Irish Wolfhound🐶🐶

Irish Wolfhounds are calm, gentle giants. Their owners will need a large budget for food and lots of room in their home. These dogs are very intelligent and are fast learners when training.

2024 Advent Calendar Shelter Donation Fundraiser

A Story of Love

Many of you know I lost Moki earlier this year. Every year I would do an Advent calendar for her in December. I've struggled with what to do, if anything, when December rolled around, and in her honor, I am collecting funds to purchase toys, treats, and supplies for local shelters and rescues. If you would like to participate, please visit our fundraiser page linked below (or in bio where necessary). Any small donation will help. There are also links to donate to them directly, if you prefer that.

🐾🐾CANINE TIP🐾🐾

Blue & Yellow

Dogs can see in shades of blue and yellow. When training, look at the world from their point of view. Choose toys, enrichment puzzles, leashes, etc. in that color spectrum to give them an easier time seeing those items.

🐶🐶Catahoula🐶🐶

Catahoulas need to be socialized, trained, and have mental stimulation so they are well-rounded as they grow. If they don't receive these, they can become destructive out of boredom. Make sure their needs are met and then train each day with positive methods.

What is your favorite breed? Drop them in the comments and tell us what you love about them.
