Paws First, LLC Positive Training❤️ Share the Love, Not the Barking: Valentine's Day "Speak" & "Hush" ❤️Want a more peaceful Valentine's Day with your furry sweetheart? Instead of chocolates and roses (though those are nice too!), give the gift of a well-behaved pup! This positive reinforcement method teaches your dog to bark on command ("Speak") and then be quiet ("Hush"), so you can enjoy some quiet romance.1. Teach "Speak": * Trigger: Use something that makes your dog bark (doorbell, toy, etc.). * Command: Say "Speak!" enthusiastically. * Reward: Praise enthusiastically as they bark. Treats are optional, but extra love is always welcome! * Timing: Praise immediately when they bark. Repeat in short, loving sessions. * Fade Trigger: Once they bark on command, remove the trigger.2. Teach "Hush": * Get Barking: Use "Speak" to get them barking. * Treat: Have a super high-value treat ready – something extra special for Valentine's Day! Think tiny pieces of cooked chicken or cheese. * Command & Lure: Say "Hush" firmly but calmly. Immediately put the treat in front of their nose. * Silence: Hold the treat until they're quiet (start with 1 second!). * Reward: Give the treat and calm, loving praise ("Good hush, my sweetie!"). * Duration: Gradually increase quiet time before rewarding. * Repeat: Practice "Speak" then "Hush" in short, sweet sessions.3. Generalize & Apply (for romantic outings!): * Different Places: Practice everywhere – even on romantic walks! * Different Triggers: Use various "Speak" triggers. * Real Life: Use "Hush" when they bark excessively (doorbell, other dogs - start at a distance).4. Troubleshooting (for a smoother Valentine's Day): * Consistency: Everyone uses the same commands. * Positive Reinforcement: Reward quiet; don't punish barking. Love conquers all! * Patience: Training takes time. Be patient with your furry Valentine. * Underlying Issues: If barking persists, consult a trainer/behaviorist. * No "Speak" Bark: Try different
🙏💕🐾Do you know which plants pose a risk to which pets. Here a few. Highly Toxic Offenders: 👉 Lilies (various species, especially true lilies like Asiatic, Easter, and Tiger lilies): Cats are extremely sensitive to lilies. Even small ingestions can cause severe kidney failure. Dogs are less sensitive, but can still experience vomiting and drooling. 👉Tulips and Hyacinths (especially the bulbs): Toxic to both cats and dogs, causing oral irritation, drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, and even heart problems in large doses. 👉 Sago Palm: Highly poisonous to both cats and dogs. All parts of the plant contain cycasin, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, liver failure, seizures, and even death.👉 Oleander: Toxic to both cats and dogs. Contains cardiac glycosides that can disrupt heart function, leading to vomiting, diarrhea, heart arrhythmias, and death.Other Toxic Plants: 👉 Azaleas and Rhododendrons: Toxic to both cats and dogs. Contains grayanotoxins, which can cause vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, depression, and even coma. 👉 Dieffenbachia (Dumb Cane): Toxic to both cats and dogs. Contains insoluble calcium oxalates, which can cause oral irritation, swelling, drooling, and difficulty swallowing.👉 Philodendron: Toxic to both cats and dogs. Contains oxalates that can cause oral irritation and digestive upset. 👉 Pothos (Devil's Ivy): Toxic to both cats and dogs. Another common houseplant with oxalates, causing similar symptoms to Philodendron and Dieffenbachia.Important Notes: 🐾🙏This is not an exhaustive list. Many other plants can be toxic to cats and dogs. 🙏🐾⁉️The severity of poisoning depends on the amount ingested, the size of the animal, and other factors. 👉 ⁉️If you suspect your pet has ingested any part of a toxic plant, contact your veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center immediately.👈⁉️Resources for more information: 🐾 ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center: https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-po
💕🐶🐾 Valentine's Day can be a fun and romantic holiday, but it's important to keep your dog safe during the festivities.
💕🐶🐾 Here are some tips: 💕🐶🐾
➡️Chocolate: Chocolate is toxic to dogs. Keep all chocolate, including dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and white chocolate, out of reach.
➡️Lilies and Tulips: These flowers are highly toxic to cats and can also be harmful to dogs. If you receive lilies or tulips, keep them out of reach or consider alternative flowers.
➡️ Candles and Flames: Keep candles and other open flames away from your dog. Dogs can easily knock over candles, causing fires or burns.
➡️ Alcohol: Keep alcoholic beverages out of reach of your dog. Even small amounts of alcohol can be harmful.
➡️ Guest Safety: If you have guests over, supervise interactions between your dog and visitors. Some dogs may feel anxious or territorial around strangers.
➡️ Anxiety: If your dog experiences anxiety during holidays, provide a safe space for them to retreat to. Consider using calming pheromone diffusers or consulting with your veterinarian about anxiety medications.
💕🐶🐾By taking these precautions, you can help ensure a safe and happy Valentine's Day for both you and your furry friend.
