Meeting of the 🐝

Just goes to show the importance of play in bonding with your dog - find something you both love and you will both reap the rewards!! (P.s - any fun game will do- we love fetch/ tug and hide and seek in our house!)

Researchers say few minutes of play now and then can make a ‘big difference’

Keep your furry friends safe tonight. Keep indoors, play soothing music ( not tv with the fireworks) , fill water and provide some place safe to hide. Close blinds, windows, doors and have a distracting activity like a stuffed Kong or lick mat ready to go. Remember cheese and yoghurt is high in soothing tryptophan. Wishing everyone a safe and healthy year ahead.

Many don’t know this information! Remember every second matters during a choking incident.
1. Place the dog on their back. Brace the back against the floor. Straddle the dog while adjusting yourself based on the size of the dog. Position the head in “in-line position” with the airway parallel to the floor.
2. Make an open diamond shape with your hands. Place your thumbs on either side of the trachea below the ball or object. Grip the “V” of the jaw using lip/cheek to protect fingers.
3. Push with a J-stroke down and out against the ball until it ejects from the mouth.
Both this method and the Heimlich method has been proven to work in these scenarios so don’t hesitate to save your dog.

I’m looking for a dog trainer or walker who is happy to share their experience and journey with a small group of students. We can meet you or you can come to us. An opportunity to give back to the community!!

Who says you can’t teach an old dog?
