LET’S TALK TOOLS

Red Arrow: Harness that fits around the dog’s body and when connected to a clip leash, creates a pulling reaction from the dog. This pulling reaction triggers the shoulders and chest muscles to be used which then influences the dog to use strength to get where they need to. If you have properly trained your dog to walk right next to you on a harness, you will not experience the pulling. Congratulations, I have yet to see this. 😂

Orange Arrow: Flat collar, usually used to connect a clip leash to and often times sits on the bottom of the neck due to gravity and the dog’s head being higher than the shoulders. This then triggers the dog’s shoulder muscles and the pulling starts. Again, this teaches the dog that strength needs to be used to get where they need to. If you have properly trained your dog to walk next to you on a flat collar, you will not experience the pulling. The majority of dogs I see are pulling during this setup.

Blue Arrow: Slip Leash is very high on the neck where it is placed behind the ears, behind the jaw bone, and it allows us to influence the dog’s head and brain. Shoulders and chest muscles are not triggered and physical strength is not used during the walk. When used correctly, little to no pressure is on the leash and physical strength is used by the dog to get from point A to point B. If you have properly trained your dog to walk next to you on a slip leash, you will not experience any pulling.

Out of the 3 tools shown, the slip leash is one of the most productive tools to create a structured walk, a calm mind, and a solid relationship.

Ever watch anyone walk a horse by the saddle?

Yeah, me either.

That’s because when you walk a 1000lb animal, you need to influence the brain and not the body.

Let’s start influencing our dog’s mentally and not physically.

I like to think that the dogs of rainbow bridge, will be lining up to greet the wonderful Paul O’Grady today. Waiting to welcome a beautiful man who did so much good for their kind. I like to think he will be rolling around with dogs he lost, dogs he saved and dogs who simply heard of his kindness. Covered in fluff, smothered in kisses and loved, loved loved.

Thank you for making us laugh till we cried and for making a true difference this side.
You will be missed, never forgotten and always loved.

Rest in peace wonderful man.

Try this method to calm your dogs during the next few weeks of fireworks.. the bandage will hit pressure points and help to keep your dog calm.. just like a thunder shirt but cheaper.. hope everyone stays safe this week..

A DOG FOR ALL SEASONS

Some like San Diego
where the weather's always great.
I prefer the seasons
that we have near our Great Lakes.
In winter, when I walk my dog,
it's freezing, but we go.
He sticks his head in snowbanks
and his face lifts up the snow.
When spring is here, the leaves sprout forth.
My dog is such a pain.
He dashes out and tromps into
the puddles in the rain.
The summer's warm and humid
and the suns shines hot and bright.
I take my dog out walking
in the coolness of the night.
When autumn comes, we really like
the brisk October breeze.
We crunch the leaves together
as they float down from the trees.
Some like San Diego,
say it has the perfect weather.
But we prefer four seasons,
that's my dog and I together!

MANAGING DOGS IN THE HEATWAVE

1) AVOIDING the heat is the best approach. Some basics are:

-Walk in the early morning or late evening
-Reduce activity e.g. keep dogs on leads or avoid ball games, etc
-If your dog is outside it must have access to shade
-Keep dogs inside during the hot part of the day in a ventilated room (but with the windows shut), with curtains or blinds pulled and ideally a stone or tiled floor
-Get a mobile AC unit or fan
-Water must always be available
-A few ice cubes on their own or in the water bowl will cause no ill effect BUT this will not offer any significant cooling benefit.
-Consider clipping (see 2 below)
-Spray your dog with water from a garden spray, plant sprayer, hose
-Provide a paddling pool
-To keep the house cool, open windows at night and close in the morning and pull curtains/blinds. Your house is insulated and will keep heat out during the day

2) If your dog is at HIGH RISK OF HEASTROKE OR THE CONSEQUENCES OF HEASTROKE and you cannot avoid the heat then you should strongly consider getting it clipped. When I say clipped I don’t mean removing all its coat or clipping it very short. High risk includes:

-Large dogs
-Dogs with thick coats
-Overweight dogs
-Unfit dogs
-Very active dogs
-Dark coloured dogs
-Old dogs
-Ill dogs
-Dogs with chronic heart or respiratory conditions
-Dogs with upper airway problems
-Brachycephalic breeds

The more of these factors that apply to your dog the higher the risk of heatstroke.

*** IF YOUR DOG IS PANTING AT REST IT IS NOT COMFORTABLE AND IS NOT COPING WELL WITH THE HEAT AND IT'S BODY IS UNDER STRESS ***

3) CLIPPING the coat of some dogs can result in abnormal hair growth and this may affect some breeds more than others. Personally, I'd rather have a dog with abnormal hair growth than one that had suffered permanent health damage from heatstroke or worse.

4) Making the coat too short could increase the risk of SUNBURN but NOT heat stroke

5) Learn to recognise the SIGNS OF HEATSTROKE

-Faster, heavier panting
-Barking, whining or signs of agitation
-Excessive thirst
-Excessive drooling
-Increased pulse and heartbeat
-Dark-coloured (red or purple) gums or tongue
-Glassy eyes
-Elevated body temperature of 40ºC (104ºF) and up
-Staggering, weakness or collapse
-Seizures
-Unconsciousness

HEATSTROKE is a MEDICAL EMERGENCY and requires IMMEDIATE ACTION and VETERINARY SUPPORT. Cool your dog by hosing or pouring COLD WATER all over the body or place in a paddling pool (but don't leave unattended in case of collapse) to rapidly reduce temperature and call your vet! This could save your dog's life. If you attempt to cool with Lukewarm/Tepid water your dog will be at increased risk!

CLARIFICATION ON COLD WATER
Hot Over 40°C
Warm - 30-40°C
Lukewarm/Tepid - ~35°C (the definition is variable according to source)
Cold - 10-20°C
Ice Cold
