Not everyone wants to smooch your pooch

This is her post walk/run ritual everyday. I’m amazed by how filthy the water gets on daily basis, thankfully the garden appreciates the cleaning and refilling constantly 👍🏻

Everest has been banned from the lounge as we have baby ducklings and chicks visiting and set up there (of course!). She was a little too intense saying hello 😂 so she sits on her chair and watches them through the window. Occasional lip licking!

Isn’t Prime just the most handsome boy? Prime is having a staycation while his hardworking family enjoy the long weekend away. Turns out he goes NUTS for rice in his dinner! All the dogs are fed dinner very seperately out of view of each other but this guy is definitely a candidate for a lick mat as he doesn’t bother with chewing 😳 Good thing I feed twice a day with snacks if we have some time out calm time cause he’s a big energetic boy ❤️

***WARNING***
Puffer fish everywhere on Waihi Beach
These guys can be fatal if even licked
They have been keeping me very busy this weekend!

This is one of many at north end this morning. We have removed as many as we can but if you see one please bury or remove
If you or your dog licks one call Vet or Medical centre immediately

This is the first time a study has specifically investigated whether early puppy training ( less than three months of age) presents clear advantages over training at a later age, in terms of the subsequent development of adult behavior problems.

The study involved 641 owners and 1,023 dogs that had enrolled in a training program. Most all of the dogs included were reported to have exhibited at least one type of behavior problem.

The researchers found:

🐶No significant difference in the age of puppy training and the subsequent development of behavior problems
🐶Aggression, compulsive behaviour, destructive behaviour, and excessive barking were all reduced in dogs that had formal puppy training before six months of age
🐶Puppy training based on reward-based methods substantially reduced the odds of aggression in adult dogs
🐶Punishment-based methods increased the odds of aggression.
🐶More frequent use of punishment is associated with increased aggression and excitability.
🐶The use of punishment when training dogs is related to an increase in both fear and aggression.

Bad hair day 🤣 such a tough time of year to be looking your best with lots more winter coat to come out yet. Not a great fan of soap or shampoo either 😆
