I don’t want to burst anyone’s bubble but dogs aren’t pack animals. They’re still social animals but not pack animals anymore…

Many dogs would prefer being “only dogs” and many other dogs definitely need to have a buddy. It really depends on the individual dog.

Next time you want to get another dog, ask whether your dog really wants a friend.

All I can say is YES and PLEASE!

All I can say is YES and PLEASE!

MYTH: "Don’t take your puppy anywhere until they're fully vaccinated."

FACT: "The primary and most important time for puppy socialization is the first three months of life. For this reason, the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior believes that it should be the *standard of care* for puppies to receive such socialization before they are fully vaccinated. Behavioral issues, not infectious diseases, are the number one cause of death for dogs under three years of age." (AVSAB Position Statement on Puppy Socialization)

FACT: If you wait until your puppy is full vaccinated, you've missed their critical socialization period.

Vets, rescues and breeders who are clinging to the outdated belief that dogs should be prevented from socialization until fully vaccinated are not keeping up with the current research, literature and recommendations from behavior professionals.

It’s probably play but it also might not be!

We mostly see dogs doing a play bow to invite another human or dog to play with them.
“Are you coming?”
“Let’s play!”

Did you know that you can invite your dog to play by doing a play bow?

BUT play bows can also be used to release tension or as a calming signal.

👉🏻 If a training session is too much, a dog may do a play bow to release tension and feel better.
👉🏻 a prolonged bow may also be a calming signal. A dog may be doing that to avoid conflict.

Did you know this? These body language signals are less well known but really important.

When I see my dog doing these, I always try to change my approach and respect that they’re asking for space.

The three signals to look about for:
1. The stress yawn: your dog likely isn’t yawning because they’re tired…
2. The lip/nose lick: super quick and easy to miss but really common!
3. Head turn: getting some distance from the situation… asking for space.

Have you noticed situations in which these are often seen?

It’s happening this Wednesday! It’s really going to be jam packed with information so don’t miss out.

- If your dog borks at every noise (or specific noises)
- if your dog is scared of fireworks, etc.
- if you can’t have friends over because of the barking…
… this is DEFINITELY for you!

Here’s where you can buy a ticket (it’s in the comments too)

Another great Out & About Class.

Yesterday we went to Irene Village Mall and practiced a few life skills. On top of that, the pups got some treats from Absolute Pets and a pupcup from Starbucks.

This class is all about applying the things the dogs have learnt and practicing in real life situations. Ofcourse, it’s also about having fun!

I’m there in the striped shirt😂 thank you COAPE International for a great day.

Every year, COAPE International does something that nobody else does - we take up to 50 of our students to work with elephants. This year was no exception, and as always, it was great fun. The COAPE Elephant day is an opportunity for students to sit down with me around a table overlooking the African bush, with impalas and elephants drinking water at the dam, while we discuss how to apply MHERA to elephants. They gain incredible hands-on training experience under the guidance of Roy Chilton, who is one of the best trainers out there, and as a cherry on top, the students have the opportunity to learn more about the realities of conservation and wildlife management from Sean Hensman and his team, who are always so generous with their time and expertise. COAPE provides opportunities to our students like no other - we feel strongly that education should be a balance between theory and practical work, and what better way to do this than by learning from elephants!
