LET’S TALK TOOLS

Red Arrow: Harness that fits around the dog’s body and when connected to a clip leash, creates a pulling reaction from the dog. This pulling reaction triggers the shoulders and chest muscles to be used which then influences the dog to use strength to get where they need to. If you have properly trained your dog to walk right next to you on a harness, you will not experience the pulling. Congratulations, I have yet to see this. 😂

Orange Arrow: Flat collar, usually used to connect a clip leash to and often times sits on the bottom of the neck due to gravity and the dog’s head being higher than the shoulders. This then triggers the dog’s shoulder muscles and the pulling starts. Again, this teaches the dog that strength needs to be used to get where they need to. If you have properly trained your dog to walk next to you on a flat collar, you will not experience the pulling. The majority of dogs I see are pulling during this setup.

Blue Arrow: Slip Leash is very high on the neck where it is placed behind the ears, behind the jaw bone, and it allows us to influence the dog’s head and brain. Shoulders and chest muscles are not triggered and physical strength is not used during the walk. When used correctly, little to no pressure is on the leash and physical strength is used by the dog to get from point A to point B. If you have properly trained your dog to walk next to you on a slip leash, you will not experience any pulling.

Out of the 3 tools shown, the slip leash is one of the most productive tools to create a structured walk, a calm mind, and a solid relationship.

Ever watch anyone walk a horse by the saddle?

Yeah, me either.

That’s because when you walk a 1000lb animal, you need to influence the brain and not the body.

Let’s start influencing our dog’s mentally and not physically.

Every dog has the same number and kind of bones. What varies are the length of the bones and the angles at which they join, which differ from breed to breed and also from dog to dog within each breed. Bones are the building blocks of structure. Bones are classified according to shape and function. Long bones (the limbs) act as support columns. Short bones diffuse concussions in limbs when the dog runs or lands from a jump.🦴

What NOT to put in your dog's Christmas stocking this year.

DID YOU KNOW...?

Rawhide is a dog chew that’s a by-product of the LEATHER industry. It is made from the inner layer of either cow or horse hides. The outer layer of the hides is the leather that is used for shoes, garments, upholstery, etc.

The inner rawhide is treated, dehydrated, and then formed into various shapes as a dog chew.

Once the hide has been separated from the animal, it’s first dipped into high salt brines to slow the decay which can make it very salty.

The hide will also be cleaned with detergent and degreasers and sterilized with low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide.

The next step after this is to remove any hair or fat attached, which involves harsh chemical combinations.

Then additional chemicals, such as lime, are deployed to separate the layers of skin.

Once the hide has been separated, it is ready to be made into rawhide for dogs. During this process, artificial colors and flavors may be added to make them look and smell more appealing, and they’re then manipulated into fun shapes which can sometimes involve glue.

Some risks of rawhide for dogs (other than the variety of chemicals they are ingesting):

1. Rawhide can cause intestinal obstruction
2. Can be a choking hazard
3. Can break your dog's teeth
4. Contamination/exposure to salmonella or E. coli to dogs & people.
