As the weather gets warmer, Dog Park is a major topic we talk about. 

Do we bring our dogs to the dog parks? What are the alternatives? Can it be dangerous? 

A few alternatives are: 

• Hikes / Trails 
• Playdates with neighbors/friends 
• Agility course: set up a simple route in your own yard! 
• Jogging with your dogs 
• Doggy daycare 

If you don't have an open space at home, a doggy daycare can be super helpful. 
What do we look at when looking for a nice little doggy daycare? 

• Dog vs. Human ratio 
• Is it a friendly social space? 
• Do they have active rest / mental stimulation? 
• Do they have a training regiment? 

Always remember to follow the public rules, and watch for your dog's body language. 

Find a way to help distract your dog from separation anxiety, desensitize, and boost your dog's confidence. In general, dog socialization!

A very practical episode for dog owners experiencing some type of difficulties with your new puppy and your kid(s)!

Josh talked about how important it is to understand and measure the emotional well-being of your dog. And during tough times, what "play" is happening with your dog and your child?

Examples of pups with kids, while your kids feel hurt, but the pups don't stop?  What are the children's actions?

We need to keep in mind that our dogs have emotions, especially puppies that might be much younger than your children. What do your pups need? Attention? In most scenarios, what is exciting your dogs?

Capture the moments when the pups are calm, reward them with affection and play, focus on the good behavior! Remember puppies and children can all be unpredictable sometimes. What we need to do is try to explain and educate our kids by telling them why the dog reacts like this? Why does the dog bark? Why does the dog nip?

The key points are to show your pups less excitement, meaning you'll need your kids' cooperation to a certain degree (yes this might be more difficult!). We need active rests for your pups, for your kids, and most importantly for YOU!

In this episode, Josh talked about how some barking is related to “attention seeking”. 

Your dog might be trying to manipulate you by barking and wanting that petting or reward?! Yes, they are smart little ones seeking your attention from time to time and are capable of finding a pattern. 

Examples and ways to solve these! 

It’ll take some practice and time but will be worth it in the long run.

Treats do NOT always mean cookies! 

Treats can be a ball, a toy, games of tug and war or fetch; actual food/snacks. Even going for a walk can be a treat. 

The reward is what your dog defines as a "treat". By knowing your dog's beloved choice of game, snacks and toys can easily guide you to the positive reinforcement. 

Hear out Josh as he gives some examples of the things we're most probably doing right now at home! Are we ignoring our dogs when they are actually calm? Remember the "Arousal down time" is when we give them the "treats". 

We also have to keep in mind to proactively reward when the dogs are calm (good behaviour). 

What about talking to them in a soft tone? That is a reward too! Dogs can pick up patterns/sequences. A great tip is to give them "trail mix" as different levels of treats.
