Canine first aid, dog, first aid

As it is difficult for me to arrange groups for workshops and courses at the moment, I have added an online canine first aid course to the shop for you to access.

The course is just one of many run by Canine Principles so take a look at the others they have on offer too.

All Canine Principles online dog courses have been written by qualified professionals with expertise on their chosen subject. Care has been taken to create a course library that is based on only the most up to date dog science. The courses teach dog training and behaviour following the science of positive reinforcement and reward based training.

This is one of my favourite images for provoking thought about dogs and hot weather.  Most of them concentrate on cars or pavements but just being at home, in the garden or on a non-pavement walk still has risks.  This chart helps you consider YOUR individual dogs risk and is one of the few that draws attention to the fact that elderly dogs struggle more than young (+6m) and middle aged dogs.

cool coats, Hot dogs, keep cool

We are now able to stock Aquamat Cool Coats for dogs.

The first order will be going later today for delivery this week. With the weather expected to peak again before the weekend it is time to get in quick.

I like these coats. I already have cool coats for my dogs but these seem a much better fit hence me stocking and recommending them. I will be changing mine to these.

Measure your dog in centimetres from neck to tail and send me a text to order.

A really clear blog post discussing some reasons why dominance theory and dominant training do not work.  I totally agree with her.

DDA, DEFRA, dog behaviour, Dog Law, Reblogs

Defra have announced the draft of the Dangerous Dogs (Amendment) Bill today.

Major points being:

  • potential of prosecution of owners, or persons in control of, dogs attacking assistance dogs 
  • consideration of the owner’s character when considering the exemption from destruction of an individual dog considered to be a banned dog or type
  • potential of prosecution of owners, or persons in control of, dogs attacking/injuring someone on private property (including other peoples property), although this will not extend to trespassers.  This means delivery personnel would be protected but not burglars.

More details can be found here Defra DDA News including a link to the full document.
