This highlights the importance of carefully controlling duration and intensity of exercise in young dogs 🐶
Good rule of thumb - 5 minutes (up to twice a day) per month of age.

"Do you ever get bitten?" - a question I get asked quite a lot!

I’ve had a few discussions with people recently about canine displays of aggression. This diagram is an illustrated summary of the gestures your dog may display when feeling stressed or threatened by a situation.

By recognising early signs your dog is not comfortable with what’s going on, we can avoid escalation of behaviours to what is perceived as ‘aggressive’ (i.e. growling, snapping and biting). These signs of aggression are a last resort for most dogs, and sadly indicate that earlier attempts at communicating their anxiety have not been recognised.

Although some dogs will not display all behaviours at the lower end of the ladder, most will give one or more warning signs before resorting to growling, snapping or biting. It is up to us to recognise how our dogs are feeling and respond accordingly by removing them from the stressful situation.

The weather outside may be less than desirable(!!) but that's no excuse to miss out on your dog's exercises!

A lovely video received from Poppy's owner today - her gym has been relocated inside! A trail of treats helps focus Poppy and make her pay more attention to where she's placing her feet - a handy trick if your dog keeps knocking the poles (make sure you've ruled out any physical reason they may be struggling with the exercise first).
