Hello everyone, it's been a while since I've put a post on. I would like to make you aware, that Kennel Cough is rife at the moment, it is a highly contagious illness that effects our dogs it is passed from dog to dog via airborne droplets and for a short time where an infected dog has been. Symptoms are coughing, sneezing, lethargy, appetite loss, runny nose, coughing up bile and temperature these are common symptoms, you should see a vet, where your dog may be treated with anti biotic and metacam. If your dog has it, he/she must be kept in and away from other dogs. Unfortunately my 3 dogs have got it so, difficult to keep them away from each other.

Our classes are going very well, so have put up some pictures.

Just come back from our normal Sunday walk with the dogs and the bassets decided to roll in cow poo and p*e so both had to be bathed when we got home. Could be worse the danes could have done the same 😂

Glad to say that I have been helping a friend with their doberman who is a bit reactive towards other dogs, we have been walking with my dogs as stooges and gradually decreasing the distance between us, so over the last couple of weeks the doberman is doing really well, a bit of excitement at first but soon calming down. I am looking forward to working with Ruth Haynes from Speak Dog on a series of classes and maybe some workshops. So with the Covid slowing down etc things are getting better. Hope you have all kept save and continue to do so,

Another enjoyable Sunday morning walk by the river with some friends. Our dogs rely on us for all their essential needs, walks, food, water, shelter, love and affection, play they really rely on us for everything, I have been in people's houses where the dogs water bowls are empty! They say, I give them water when they look for it, water should be there all the time, fresh and clean. According to the Animal Welfare Act all domestic animals have a right to what is known as the Five Fredoms which are 1- to live in a suitable environment. 2- eat a suitable diet. 3- show normal behaviour. 4- to live with or without other animals. 5- to be protected from pain, suffering, injury and disease. This mornings walk got me thinking about just how much our dogs do depend on us. 🤔😀

There seems to be some uncertainty on the dog lead laws. Their isn't an actual law that states you have to have a dog on a lead. However local councils can state where you should have a dog on a lead, usually sign posted, playing fields, kids play parks, some beaches and roads etc. It is stated that the dog must be under control whenever out in public. In my opinion on roads they should be on a lead or anywhere he could be in danger from traffic etc, I quite often see carers with dogs off lead on the industrial estate where I live, which is up to them, but to me the dog is in danger, vans, trucks etc. The dog could chase another dog, cat bird etc, so is out of control. The dog doesn't have to do much to be classed as an out of control. If someone feels threatened or feels they could be injured by the dog they could push a complaint, which could lead to prosecution getting the carer a fine or even imprisonment. So there is a fine line to cross before a dog can be classed as out of control. But this is rarely the case as most carers are responsible and have the dogs welfare at heart.

So now the lock down is being eased. The dog training world is about to lose a truly professional and valued member of the profession, Rebecca Hanlon of Speak Dog an extremely knowledgeable and excellent behaviourist and trainer, will soon be going to Spain to start a behaviour and training business, our loss and sprains gain. So I would be like to wish her and Andrew and the dogs all the best and luck in their new venture and future. I am sure Beccy will be hugely missed in the profession. I am sure along with me you all wish her the best of luck and success 👍😉💕

Just took a tick off of pogles head, there are quite a few around at the moment, they cling to grass and brush etc waiting to climb into the dogs as they go past. They are stimulated by the dogs breath and body heat, they spread disease as well as live off the dogs blood. They can spread Lymes disease, Rocky mountain spotted fever, anaplasmosis, babesiosis, bartonellosis and ehrlichiosis some ticks can cause tick paralysis which can be fatel for the dog. Ticks can be carefully removed with tweezers however you must make sure that the head comes out, if left in it could cause infection, ticks can be kept under control with flea and tick treatments

Took the dogs to a place they haven't been to this morning, a change of scenery, textures for them to walk on and have a good sniff, a good hour or so of good canine enrichment for them, we also enjoyed it.

19/05/2020

A while ago I was walking up the road behind a woman walking a black lab and golden retriever, the lab stopped to sniff a fence post, the woman dragged him away pulling him up road saying to him to hurry up and that walk was not about sniffing around. I wonder how many dogs are hurriedly dragged around on a walk maybe because the carer is in a hurry or don't realise how much enrichment a dog gets from a good sniff around. They get just as much if not more enrichment from a short sniffy walk than a good hard run around, however a good run around does them good but a good sniffy walk helps them to gather information about the dogs in the area, such information as any dogs in season, if a dog is fit and healthy, young or old, it is amazing the things a dog can find out on a short sniffy walk. When a dog urinate and kicks the dirt or grass around with his back legs this is to spread the scent further, he also has scent glands on his paws which spread scent as he kicks the dirt or grass around. So in a way he is advertising the fact that he has been there and leaving information about himself.

Our dogs often do things that make us laugh, cringe, cry and wonder why did you do that. So the reason I am posting this is it may amuse some of you, when I get in from work evenings I am greeted by 2 Bassets and 2 great Danes, this particular evening I was greeted by 2 danes and 1 basset so I called the other basset no response so I went out the back, not there went upstairs and found her stuck in a pillow case with the pillow after getting her out I chuckled for ages.

I was at work this morning and thought about the lock down being relaxed, so really we need to support our dogs as they are suddenly going to be left at home after being used to us being at home. They may need a bit of help getting back to the old routine. You can gradually build up the time that you leave the dog home alone, you can take him into the garden, then pop back indoors for a minute or two, you can do the same indoors with different rooms gradually building up the time you leave him. Pop outside and move the car a bit so he gets used to the car moving away. Leave him with a Kong toy with treats in and other toys so he can be occupied while you are out. Even leave an item of your clothing for him, he may feel reassured by your smell on it. Don't get stressed with him he will sense it and it will make him worse. When you leave make sure he has plenty of fresh water, being anxious may make him drink more. You can ask a neighbour to keep an eye on him. I have put him but I mean her as well, it not nice to put it😊, hope this page helps if not I hope you liked reading it 😉

I know it is cooler today, but warm weather brings out the fleas and ticks which love to live on our dogs sucking their blood, this causes all sorts of problems, skin irratation, sores, etc which causes the dogs to itch scratch sometimes to the extent of scratching the skin raw. Fleas and ticks can spread disease and worms and can cause anemia in puppies and small dogs. They will even bite us and can cause us health issues, they will live in our home, carpets, furniture and our beds. In the hot weather spare a thought for the dogs who can suffer in the heat, it is better to take them out early morning and late evening when it's cooler, dog's can burn their paws on hot concrete etc, smaller dogs can suffer from the heat rising up off of the concrete. Always make sure your dog has a good supply of fresh cold water, ideally changed twice a day or more if necessary or when it becomes dirty. Thank you for reading my first blog, please share with friends and other dog carers.
