Asha did amazing during our third private lesson yesterday. She is newly out of the shelter and was very fearful and reactive. Yesterday we went to Unity Park for her first ever field trip, and she blew it out of the water! We are very proud of Asha and her family for all of their hard work and dedication. It’s showing through! 🏆

Happy Fourth! Today’s The More You Know Thursday is all about firework safety for your dog. 🎇

Did you know more dogs are lost on the Fourth of July than ANY other day of the year? 🐶

Here’s some facts:

• Animal controls reports over a 50% increase in the amount of lost pets between July 4-6 annually.
• Less than 14% of lost pets are successfully reunited with their owners.
• 30-60% of lost pets are euthanized when they cannot be identified.
• More dog bites occur on 4th of July than any other day of the year.

Keep your pup safe and at home this year. Don’t let your best friend become part of a statistic.

We are offering boarding for the weekend of the Fourth if needed! 🎆

The More You Know Thursday: Genetic Fulfillment 🧠

AKA, allowing your dog feed into their natural instincts, and well, be a dog!

This can be done in many ways, and much of this is breed-specific depending on what job your dog was created to do.

But, the simplest way to provide any dog with genetic fulfillment is to get them out in nature and allow them to dig, run, chase, pick up sticks, splash in the water, smell, explore, and get downright dirty!

Think about it! We domesticated a wild animal to live in a developed world. Furthermore, lots of us have working dogs designed to herd cattle, retrieve or hunt game, or protect livestock living in a house and only going for walks on a short leash on paved roads.

Problem behaviors such as chewing shoes, chasing cats, digging holes in the backyard, pulling on the leash to get to a smell, etc. are often products of your dog being unfulfilled in their daily life.

Get your dog out in nature. It’s therapy for both parties 🌳

Mister Newton is almost one week into his 3 week board and train! We’re working on building handler awareness and teaching him to be calm and collected in public spaces. He’s doing great, and we’re just getting started! 🐕

The More You Know Thursday 🧠

‼️ LASER LIGHT SYNDROME (LLS) ‼️

**This “TMYKT” is an IMPORTANT one! Please give this a read and share with friends and family.**

❗️Laser light use with dogs is believed to cause irreversible, severe neurological and psychological damage. ❗️

👩‍🏫 Let’s briefly discuss a case study: The Mishi Summary.

• Mishi was a Shiba Inu that was exposed to a laser light pointer for a period of 2 days at 21 weeks of age.

• Shortly following exposure, Mishi began exhibiting physical symptoms, including:

- REM (Rapid Eye Movement), as if Mishi was having a seizure
- Extremely elevated craniosacral rhythm (the flow and rhythm of cerebrospinal fluid)
- Rapid, pounding heart rate
- Jitty, nervous, neurotic behavior almost like she had been injected with an epi-pen
- No frontal eye focus (ability to focus on an object in front of her) but heightened peripheral distraction, characteristic of chasing movements associated with laser light use
- Darting, chasing lights and shadows
- Mishi at her worst would completely freeze and have to be picked up to regain awareness of her surroundings.

Later, Mishi experienced:

- Little interest in food
- No interest in toys
- Disordered visual processing
- Constant bolting, chasing lights and shadows
- Rapid eye flicking (REM)
- Vacillation between agitated, stressed and jittery and exhausted

🧠 The synopsis:

While we are still researching LLS, the Mishi Summary suggests even SHORT-TERM laser light use causes severe disruption: neurological, cognitive, and of the endocrine system.

Dogs suffering from LLS are in a perpetual state of mental anguish. Think of it as if the dog is stuck in “prey drive mode” PERMANENTLY. Mishi, along with thousands of other dogs, will likely never be the same after laser light use.

This is only one of countless dogs effected by LLS. In fact, the inspiration for this post stems from a colleague of mine currently having a dog with severe LLS in her care for a Board and Train, and her calling me for advice.

While not EVERY dog exhibits such a visceral response to laser light use, it almost ALWAYS results in some level of frustration, heightened anxiety, shadow/light chasing, and other symptoms characteristic of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

❓The solution?

❗️ DITCH THE LASER POINTER!!! It’s. Not. Worth it. Educate friends and family on the impacts and risks associated with using laser light pointers with their dogs.

Instead, play with your dogs in a healthy, more meaningful manner such as tug-of-war! 🐕

The More You Know Thursday

Puppy Socialization!!!

(Yes, that’s a Great Dane in a backpack 😁)

Socialization and desensitization for puppies in the juvenile stage is imperative to their ability to live, and furthermore thrive in the developed world.

When you get your young puppy, begin introducing them to the world right away! A common misconception is that you should keep your puppy home for the first few months so they can adjust to their new environment.

That is quite possibly the worst thing you could do for your new puppy! Between 12-14 weeks, your puppy should be having positive interactions with places, people, and other dogs. This is a crucial developmental period that so many pet owners neglect, and the repercussions are paramount. They are quickly left with fearful, anxious dogs that are afraid of the world. This is a huge contributing factor to shelter surrenders in young dogs.

So, what should you do?

Our best advice? Puppy backpack!!! Wear your puppy everywhere with you! Allow them to interact with new people and expose them to public spaces. The backpack allows you to bring your puppy places without worrying about them not having all of their vaccines.

Begin early with outings, car rides, social visits to your vet office just to say hello, allowing your puppy to meet (fully vaccinated, dog social) dogs you know and trust, and get all the pets from strangers. Also, beginning early with grooming and nail trimming practices will save you a lot of grief!

Beginning early with your puppy with games teaching them their name, basic obedience commands, and the art of negotiation with humans and other dogs is also crucial.

Lots of information, right? If you have a new puppy or are thinking of adding to your family, reach out to us! We are always here to answer questions, help with selecting a breeder, helping you select a breed that fits your lifestyle, and of course, with early training and socializing!
