A little trick of the trade to stop reverse sneezing. *DISCLAIMER: Only attempt this if you know the dog is comfortable being handled in this manner.

🔸Leash Work with Dexter🔸Many of you already know I’m huge on teaching a dog to heel on both sides, and incorporating a command to get your dog to automatically heel to your opposite side by going behind your back (never in front of you), and ideally without changing your body language as a handler during that process. This comes in handy big time with any dog having issues on leash, whether there’s reactivity involved or not. Heeling your dog on your left at all times makes absolutely no sense in the real world when you hit the streets, unless it’s a dog you’re trying to title. In more urban areas, it keeps your dog safe during walks. If you have a dog that pulls on leash intermittently, giving them a command (aka making them think) helps to eliminate that dog breaking the heel position, as they are anticipating that “heel left/heel right” command being delivered.If you have some form of aggression going on, instead of using avoidance and awkwardly pulling your dog to the side when another dog approaches (which will just exacerbate the issue over time), you now have a command in your back pocket to get your dog to the opposite side of you without causing anxiety or conditioning your dog to believe that dog that’s approaching is a threat.It just makes sense any way you look at it.

I board & train one dog at a time, all of my focus being on that one dog. Why? Because clients do not pay trainers their hard earned money for them to work with their dog for 60 mins each day for 4-6 weeks. There’s no bonding going on there. It’s strictly business. Personally, I spend day and night with the dogs I train and/or rehab and it works. There’s nothing better than taking a dog out late night in pure silence, and working with that dog one on one. Nothing compares. Nothing. 🧡

♦️ Toad Venom Poisoning in Dogs: Awareness and Prevention Strategies ♦️

Did you know all toads secrete a toxin on their skin as a defense mechanism, which is poisonous to our four legged friends?

It’s that time of the year where you will start noticing toads around your property, especially during and after rainy periods in the early morning and at night. When threatened, toads secrete a venomous toxin on their skin that, when ingested, is poisonous to dogs.

When ingested, this substance directly affects both the heart and the central nervous system. The toxin contains an assortment of potentially harmful elements, including bufagenins (toxins), which can affect heart rate, and bufotoxins, which affect nerve conduction in a way similar to how anesthetics work.

What can we do as responsible dog owners to protect our furry friends?

Toads are most active early in the morning and at night, so be on alert during these times, especially during the summer after it rains. It’s also recommended to trim low-hanging trees or shrubs, which toads often use as hiding spots, and to remove piles of brush and clutter from your yard. Eliminating stagnant water from your yard or home can help decrease the ability for toads to lay toxic tadpoles there. It may be a good idea to put your dog on leash, especially at night, at dawn, and after it rains.

Huckleberry’s BEFORE training debut!

Over the next six weeks, I’ll be working with Huckleberry’s family to address both on and off leash behavior towards other dogs, working on his interactions with the cat, and eliminating some barrier frustration he’s been exhibiting. Stay tuned for this guy’s transformation!
