Friendly reminder…This time of year it is very important to check your pets and yourselves daily for ticks. Those pesky critters have a way of finding the most intimate places to latch on. Ears are typically the most likely place on your dog as it is difficult for them to remove them from there…but anyplace is possible…be sure to look carefully! We use Sergeant Flea & Tick collars. It’s worth a discussion with your vet to determine what is best in your area and breed of dog.

Here are some helpful thoughts on how to potty train your new puppy! It’s a good idea to seek several ideas online that might work for your household and then be very consistent and manage it well.

Potty training a puppy can be challenging. Read Purina’s pet expert’s puppy potty training guide to set you and your puppy up for potty training success.

PUPPY JUMPING

Excited puppies jump for attention. Excited puppies are cute! This behaviour is often accepted and, at times, encouraged (whether intentionally, or not!) Puppies jump to get closer to your face and, inevitbly, they are reinforced for it, as your face comes closer and they get attention (even if it's to tell them to stop!) However, this behaviour gets old fast and nobody enjoys being jumped on uncontrollably by an adult dog.

Here are 5 ways you can combat puppy jumping:

1) Teach your puppy to ‘SIT’ for everything in life. Sit to go through doors, sit for dinner, sit for cuddles, sit for treats, sit to cross the road, sit for everything. If they DO jump out of excitement/arousal/instinct and DON'T get what they want, they will generally resort back to sitting when their brain kicks in.

2) Use a lead to manage interactions. You can't always control how other people interact with your puppy (how often have you heard the reply "Oh, I don't mind!" when you suggest someone doesn't encourage your puppy to jump?) But, you CAN control how your puppy approaches others with the use of a lead. It feels strange putting a lead on a dog in the house, but it is very handy for training!

3) If your pup jumps on you, diffuse the behaviour by turning around, averting your eye contact and being super boring and still. If this doesn’t work for your puppy, calmly and swiftly guide them outside or to an area seperate from you, as repeated attempts to jump for attention can promote frustration barking and an increase in their jumping behaviour.

4) Understand disassociation time. For puppies it’s about 10 seconds. If your puppy jumps on you and then sits, try to hold off giving them any attention or a treat for 10 seconds. Failing to do so risks indirectly teaching your puppy the pattern of jumping then sitting to get your attention.

5) Where possible, teach kids that being statues and calling for help is more effective than screaming and running. Kids are as instinctive and reactive as puppies, so interactions should be supervised and controlled (see point 2, re: leads!) The little bit of extra effort early on will pay dividends in the long run!

Introducing “Willow” our new Female AKC Cardigan Welsh Corgi. She will be mated with “Angus” our Male AKC Cardigan Welsh Corgi. We have waited a long time to find her. Their offspring will be of Championship bloodlines and we are excited to have her in our breeding program!

We are kinda excited about this…New raised kennel flooring…no more wood chip bedding. This will provide less effort to keep clean and sanitary as puppies will be in whelping boxes until 3-4 weeks old and then whelping boxes are removed from the raised kennels. This flooring can be washed and sanitized daily and cleaned out into a French drain from the barn.

From Tim Thomas, AKC: The American Kennel Club is opposed to the ongoing crisis in the Ukraine. In solidarity with the Ukrainian people, effective immediately, judges from the Russian Federation will not be approved to judge at AKC sanctioned events. Additionally, new requests for imported dog registrations (AKC Foreign Registration) from the Russian Kennel Federation will be denied effective immediately.

We continue to explore options to provide assistance to the Ukrainian people and their pets during this crisis.

The AKC and AKC Reunite have donated $25,000 to Equiwent (https://www.equiwent.org/, a German organization with operations in Poland and Romania. Equiwent is assisting in the humanitarian effort by helping with the Ukrainian refugees and their pets. Clubs and fanciers may donate to the cause by using this Equiwent link.

In addition, the AKC Store is also selling “Peace for Ukraine” apparel with all proceeds going to Casa lui Patrocle animal rescue, located 25 miles outside of the Ukraine offering shelter, veterinary care and emergency assistance to anyone crossing the border with pets. This fundraiser will remain active for the entire month of March. To date, $15,000 is being donated.
