It has taken 3 days but the dogs have finally gotten comfortable and confident being out on the deck in Wildwood! It can be hard for a dog to be in a new place, with new smells, sounds and sights. We are high above the people walking by which is weird for them as well. They seem to now be enjoy it instead of stressed. 🥰

Being aware of dog body language is a necessary skill for any guardian to enable you to understand what your dog is communicating.

Over the next few weeks we shall be posting some examples of dog body language using the same colour scheme as this ladder.

Olive is doing a fantastic job relaxing towards the end of our walk while I chatted with a neighbor! She gave this behavior on her own and I rewarded that choice highly!

Though it may seem like a fun thing for kids, dogs are NOT meant to sit on. EVER!!! Please do not ever encourage a child to sit or step up on a dog. This can cause pain, fear and conflict. All can increase the chances of a dog bite.

Is your dog “tolerating” what is happening in a situation? Or is the dog really telling them they're uncomfortable and want this to stop? We encourage families to observe their dog's body language so that they can understand what their dog is telling them.

How do I know what to look for if they’re uncomfortable?
❗Half moon eyes, your dog is leaning their body away from what is going on,
❗Yawning when they aren’t tired
❗lip licking

There are many body language signals that dogs display to us if they are uncomfortable, and even if they are enjoying something. Dogs use their bodies to communicate discomfort, stress and joy. Maybe they are happy and content and come over to you while you are holding your baby and get some pets, or they are happily wagging their tail with a loose body.

Recognizing how your dog uses their body to communicate is an important way to build and strengthen bonds. Looking for more information?

1st dog meal cooked from this awesome book!! I made them Beef (substituted turkey) and Broccoli in the slow cooker and then blended it in the food processor. What I like about this book is it’s versatility. Not only could you make this recipe and serve raw, poached or gently cooked, it ALSO gave 2 recipe options, one all whole foods and one more basic with supplements.
