STORM EUNICE

Scent will be blowing in every which direction today. Some dogs may feel confused and overwhelmed as they will be finding it harder to process information.

Objects blowing around, creating noise and sudden movement may startle dogs and create a fight or flight response.

There's more electricity in the air during a storm. This may cause a static build-up in your dog’s fur, producing static shock causing discomfort.

HOW CAN I HELP MY DOG?

Skip the walk for today instead, provide enrichment activities to tire out your dog and eliminate boredom.

Try to block out the noise by putting the TV or calm music on. Try to also block out the movement from outside by closing curtains and blinds.

Supervise garden toilet breaks and keep checking your garden as fences can be easily blown down.

It's only for 24 hours when it can take a dog up to 72 hours to decompress from an event that caused fear.

Stay safe

5 ways to help your dog over the next few days (months) with fireworks.

1. Keep your dog safely inside, dogs that are frightened may go into flight mode and run away.

2. Provide a quiet safe space away from windows, close your blinds or curtains and play some white noise in the background. Classic FM will be playing dog calming music this evening and tomorrow evening.

3. Provide self-soothing opportunities such as licki mats, kongs and long lasting treats to encourage the release of dopamine (good feelings).

4. Scatter feed around their safe space, this could be some of their daily food allowance or some higher value treats. Promote sniffing as this also encourages the release of dopamine in dogs.

5. Try to pair the noise to positive rewards e.g. strange noise happens I get a yummy treat.

Whilst we encourage you to enjoy spending time outdoors with your dogs we would like to remind you that unfortunately dog thefts are on the rise. Therefore we thought we needed to share some prevention tips with you.
We want you to think GUARD.

GROUP: walk in a group or at least pairs (socially distanced of course)where possible avoiding places you find yourself isolated. Share any events or concerns with your local police and social media groups.

UNATTENDED: keep your dogs in sight at all times. Never leave them unattended in vehicles, gardens or outside shops.

ALERT: be aware or your surroundings whilst staying focused on your dog, take off your headphones and keep your phone in your pocket.

ROUTINE: Thieves have a tenancy to monitor areas looking for opportunities. Vary your routine, change the route and times of your walks to reduce predictability.

DRAW ATTENTION: draw attention if you feel threatened. Shout or blow a whistle, anything to draw attention to the fact you maybe in trouble.

Hope everyone is keeping ok and enjoying spending lots of time with their furbabies.
I came across this and thought it may possibly help any of you guys with younger children who have been struggling with ideas to keep both the kids and dogs amused, stimulated and busy whilst this lockdown continues.

🐶 Our Home-Schooling Programme goes live Monday 23rd March for children 4-11 years old who own or have access to a dog to train during self-isolation and the National School closures 🐶
We will be teaching children how to train dogs and keep them entertained and mentally stimulated when physical activity is restricted.
We will be demonstrating ways to Up-cycle general household items into agility equipment and enrichment games for dogs - keeping both children and canines engaged and entertained!
We have designed some incredible games for children to teach their dogs that we have added an age specific educational element for each of the games so the children are learning at the same time!
Maths, literacy, phonics and science along with general knowledge will be covered in ever increasing difficulty levels for 4-11 year olds.
Dog behaviour and health will be covered and we will be using ethical methods for children to train their dog and learn all about canines!
The programme is just £20 per month to join and you will have access to our secure private group - interactivity and questions from the students is encouraged and we will also be holding questions and answers sessions with our canine behaviourist and dog trainers.
If you refer 3 friends who also join us you will receive your second month completely free!
To join our unique and incredibly positive group please call/text us on 07803 307882 or you can message our main page for details Impackt Behaviour or email [email protected]
