Let me stay home. It's not nice for me to walk and run next to you. But because I am a loyal dog, I often go beyond my limits. So I walk ...

The 70-year-old Francis Romero was in a coma in the hospital. His dog was allowed to stay with him, did not break away day and night. After a month Francis woke up from the coma with the words:
"Where is the white angel who constantly whispered that everything would be all right?"

10 THINGS YOUR DOG WOULD TELL YOU...
1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful: remember that before you get me.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me- it is crucial to my well being.
4. Do not be angry at me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment.
5. You have your work, your entertainment,and your friends. I only have you.
6. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don’t understand your words, I understand your voice when it is speaking to me.
7. Be aware that how ever you treat me, I will never forget.
8. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily hurt you, but I choose not to bite you because I love you.
9. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I might not be getting the right food, or I have been out too long, or my heart is getting too old and weak.
10. Take care of me when I get old; you too will grow old. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say: “I cannot bear to watch” or “Let it happen in my absence.” Everything is easier for me if you are there, even at the time of my death. ❤

The weather is warm & everyone is active - friendly reminder on SNIFFING!

Sniffing is important to dogs! Their noses are complex organs that they use to gather information - just like humans rely on their eyes. Engaging their olfactory senses offers a lot of info about their environment, is naturally calming, makes them happy, enriches their brain, offers physical exercise, & can even tire them out & help them sleep better! Sniffing is a natural behavior for dogs, so ensure that when you take your dog for a walk you allow for meaningful time to sniff & do not keep them on a short leash or in a heel the entire time. Your walk should be beneficial & fulfilling for you & your dog!

Here are ways to ensure your dog is using their nose:

❤ALLOW THEM TO SNIFF ON WALKS. A slow & short walk offers much more enrichment than a fast & long walk. Take your dog out on a long lead in areas with non-road surfaces & allow them to make choices & follow their nose. Interacting with their environment also has the benefit of promoting independence, gaining better problem-solving skills, & boosting their confidence in novel situations.

❤DISCONTINUE FEEDING FROM A BOWL. Provide meals in puzzle toys & other enriching items where they need to promote foraging. Simply scatter-feeding your dog's entire meal in the grass works well & has the added benefit of counter conditioning to triggers!

❤NOSE WORK. Enroll in a class or play beginner-friendly games at home: https://www.happygodoodle.com/nose-work-games-for-dogs/
​
Since sniffing offers natural relief from stress/anxiety, you may see your dog sniffs more during periods of high activity/when triggers are near. This is a healthy & normal response & should not be discouraged too much. Sniffing is one of our dog's primary modes of communicating through their body language & can also signal to other dogs that they are non-confrontational. However, if you notice your dog obsessively sniffing during various times/at varying intensities or that it is very hard to redirect your companion, this can be a sign of chronic anxiety & a conversation with a vet may be needed.

Don't forget to stop and smell the flowers! Your dog will thank you!
