Out before it gets too hot ๐
It's so important that our dogs get time to just be dogs...
On some walks I'll implement some training work with Luna, but it's so important that she gets time to just be a dog! ๐พ
The only thing I asked of Luna today was recall, which is a non negotiable with off lead freedom ๐ฏ
Ask yourself today, does my dog get enough time to just be a dog? ๐ค
If their recall or reactivity stops this from happening, there are wonderful secure paddocks that you can hire so that your dog gets this important decompression time....especially important for reactive dogs ๐

Water toxicity, what is it? ๐ค
๐
Water intoxication occurs when a dog ingests an excessive amount of water in a short period.
This can lead to a dangerous condition called hyponatremia, where the sodium levels in the dogโs body become dangerously diluted.
๐พCauses:
Excessive Drinking: Dogs may drink too much water during play, especially if they are in a very stimulating environment such as a pool or during fetch.
Rapid Ingestion: Drinking water too quickly can overwhelm their bodyโs ability to process it.
๐พ Symptoms:
Bloating: The abdomen may swell as the dogโs stomach becomes overly full.
Vomiting: The dog may try to expel some of the excess water.
Lethargy: Affected dogs may seem tired or weak.
Loss of Coordination: Dogs may struggle to walk or stand properly.
Paddling Motion: Some dogs may show signs similar to drowning, even if they are not in water.
Seizures: In severe cases, neurological symptoms can lead to seizures.
๐พTreatment:
Immediate Veterinary Care: If a dog is suspected of having water intoxication, it's crucial to take them to a veterinarian immediately.
Monitoring: Vets may monitor the dogโs electrolyte balance and provide treatments, such as intravenous fluids or medications, to stabilize their condition.
๐พPrevention:
Limit Water Access: During playtime, monitor your dog's water intake and encourage breaks if they are drinking excessively.
Controlled Play: Avoid situations where dogs can drink large amounts of water quickly, such as water retrieving games without breaks.
Water intoxication can be life-threatening, so being aware of the signs and taking preventive measures can help ensure your dog's safety during playtime, especially in water.
If you suspect your dog has ingested too much water, itโs crucial to seek veterinary care immediately ๐

Me, on a walk WITHOUT my dog, because it's too warm for her โ๏ธ
Be responsible with the heat ladies and gents, a dog missing a walk for a day never did a dog any harm....
Enrichment, scent work, settling games....
Think outside the box to keep them entertained, instead of being outside in the heat ๐

๐ง๐งนWITCHING HOUR ๐ง๐งน
Now....if you have been with me since your dog was a pup, this is something you will have heard from me a lot....
REST is so important for your young dog! And is often sooo over looked!
Rest is crucial for young dogs for several reasons....
Just like human babies, puppies need plenty of sleep to support their physical and mental development! โบ๏ธ
Adequate rest helps puppies grow, repair their bodies after periods of activity, and recharge their energy levels ๐
Rest also plays a key role in supporting a puppy's immune system, as their bodies can better fight off illnesses when they are well-rested ๐
Additionally, proper rest helps young dogs avoid becoming overly tired, which can lead to unwanted behaviours!....a bit like the evening witching hour of doom ๐ฑ
Enrichment, rest and breed fulfilment = ๐๐

Is your dog ready to be off lead? ๐ค
Ask yourself these questions...
๐ถ Can they recall away from distractions?
If not, keep them on a long line.
๐ถ Do they run up to every dog they see?
If yes, keep them on a long line.
๐ถ Do they dart off into the distance and ignore their recall?
If yes, keep them on a long line.
Recall is vital to ensure the freedom and safety of your dog, get it right from the start by building value in your dog coming back to you ๐
Need some help? Get in touch ๐

Congratulations to Angell Siรขny and Hanson, winners of the Easter trick challenge 2024 ๐๐ Amazing effort on production of the video and a cracking bow!! ๐๐๐๐น๐น๐๐๐โค๏ธโค๏ธ WELL DONE EVERYONE WHO ENTERED!! You have all smashed this out the park! ๐๐ฐ๐ค๐ฅ๐ฃ
WHAT A WEEK ๐ Busy busy and more busy!! It's been a pleasure teaching you all this week, dog club has been super busy working forwards their next awards in Obedience ๐พ Some super progress made with my lovely 1:1 clients as well!! โบ๏ธ #TeamUnderdog
How well does your dog know their behaviour cues? ๐ค Luna and I often practice impulse control around retrieving work, proofing her release cue has been such a helpful life skill for us as has ensuring that her cues are hand neutral. Throw some random words into your training at home to test their understanding ๐ Maybe try asking for a down with your hands behind your back ๐ Proofing behaviours in different contexts is something we do a lot of in weekly dog club classes ๐ #teamunderdog
It's fair to say we have loads of fun in our classes, but this has got to be the most I've laughed in a while ๐๐คฃ A special shout out to the lovely Angell Siรขny and the gorgeous Hanson for their creativeness for the Christmas trick challenge competition.... A* for effort, great team work!! ๐๐๐พ
DRUMROLL PLEASE ๐๐๐ Over the last two weeks dog club members have been working hard on the Christmas trick challenge.... All the videos have been sent in and a winner has been chosen ๐ฑ And the winner of this year's Christmas trick challenge is..... CORA ๐ฅ๐ช๐พ๐!!! Congratulations Cora! You smashed it!
Being sent videos like this on a Monday morning makes my day! ๐พ Becky and Arrow have been with Underdog a few weeks now and they have been working very hard on key foundation behaviours. You really do get out of training what you put in, we as trainers give you the tools, it's up to you to use them! Arrow is already a fantastic example of this! Practise makes progress ๐ช
