⚠️Please be SO SO careful. Normal activity needs to be modified. Be ready.

My own boy was up at 4a inside our semi-cool house and was overheating. We did a dunk in his kid pool twice, cooling towels for his ears, gave him a frozen treat and slept the rest of the night right by our ac unit.

It's going to be a HOT week!! 🥵

Frazier and Marlow are prepared, are you? Keep your pets safe and please check on your elderly neighbors.

If you have concern for an animal being housed outdoors with no shade/housing, access to water, or food. Call 517-546-9111 to place an welfare check, you must have the address.

Tips to Keep your Pet Safe in Warm Weather

Keep your pets indoors when temperatures are extreme and in the shade when they are outdoors.Walk your pets early in the morning or later in the evening to avoid the hottest part of the day.
Give pets plenty of water to avoid dehydration. When you walk your pet or take your pet outside, carry water with you.
Never leave your animals alone in a parked vehicle. Temperatures in cars can increase rapidly and become lethal.
Animals with short noses such as Bulldogs, Pugs, Boston Terriers and Persian cats, struggle in the heat. Dogs and cats cool themselves by breathing through their mouths, but those with flat faces cannot cool as quickly and need extra attention.
If your pet is panting excessively, drooling, struggling to walk, is lethargic or has bloody diarrhea or vomiting, know that that these are potentially signs of overheating. Windows in the home that are open should have screens. Pets can fall out of open, unsecured windows.
Be careful with dogs on asphalt in the heat. Not only are their paws sensitive, but because their bodies are closer to the asphalt, they can overheat more easily.
As always, if you think your pet is in distress due to the heat, call your veterinarian as soon as possible.

🚨 The summer temps are here and as much as you love taking your dog for rides with you- please leave them home. 🚨

This was taken yesterday by our Animal Control Officer in a shopping complex parking lot. We are already getting the calls for dogs left in cars.

Having the windows down doesn’t help.

When it comes to dogs in hot cars, IF YOU LOVE THEM-LEAVE THEM, HOME!

Multi-dog homes often come with a level of FOMO (fear of missing out) 🤣

This week we got creative during one of our lessons and utilized the easily detachable leashes that come with our waist leash set up to “tether” one kiddo while we worked with the other in close proximity. The one who was tethered was provided snacks throughout while calmly watching the other and not being a part of the action. They both rocked this practice 🥹

Clover & Ivy are bonded sisters that have always struggled with over-excitement that would then tip into stress and sometimes squabbles on leash. We’ve been working together since the fall of last year, and their progress & growth is truly incredible.

The other day I posted about making sure you always have water readily available during training. 💧

Another component to add: SHADE! 🌳

⚠️Take frequent breaks when it’s hot & humid and find a shady spot if possible. It’s also good to plan ahead and scope a training or walking area for those shady spots to be sure you can utilize it!

📸: STELLA! Good girl is back on the roster for the summer 🥳

For many training plans, we need to modify the environment while working through protocols.

This sign on my clients house is *chefs kiss*

Clear, to the point, front and center, laminated so it will last a long time…checks all the boxes! This prevents the possibility that my client might be caught off guard with a visitor who walks in right away, or a delivery who disturbs the dynamic of the house by knocking.

☀️Hey besties, Polo here to remind us all that water is a MUST when out for exercise or training this time of year!

👅 Being thirsty can really impact how your dog feels (are they no longer interested in play, treats, etc.? Are they rushing to get home or get to the car?) and that impacts their stress levels and overall welfare. I carry a jug of water with me and a collapsible bowl to have available when training!

🏃🏽‍♀️On the go? There are a ton of cool options for water. Here’s one:

Does Training Method Have a Relationship to Behavior Problems?
This study evaluated associations between training method and dog behavior problems. Fearful and aggressive behaviors were MORE likely to occur in dogs trained with punishment. Fear and aggression in dogs are emotional health issues - punishment of these behaviors increases both!
