°Food For Thought:
For all those who blame the dog, please stop.
•Do you blame the dog when she/he acts up: steal, destroy, guard, pull, bark, growl, lunge, attack, nip, bite..?
•Is it easier to blame the dog: he is still being trained, she came from an abused past, he is just a puppy, she is a former street dog, he is grumpy due to old age..?
•Do you step back to ponder if your dog is physically, mentally & emotionally fulfilled?
°Reality:
•The reality is dogs need more than love, food, water & shelter. The bigger reality is dogs want to be treated, respected and honored as dogs; not as human kids. Fulfilling a dog's physical, mental & emotional needs is vital for their well-being, balance and happiness.
°Fulfillment Activities:
•Physical: Regular exercise is essential for building strength, maintaining health and burning off excess energy. For e.g. Structured walks, Hiking, Trail running, Roller blading, Agility sports, Fetch, Frisbee, Flyball, Flirt pole, Tree tugger, Dock diving, Surfing, Swimming..
•Mental: Mental enrichment provides the dog a purpose, stimulates problem solving skills, reduces boredom, and prevents destructive behaviors. For e.g. Balanced training, Trick training, Protection work, Puzzle toys, Slow feeders, Snuffle mats, Nose work, Hunting, Herding..
°Emotional: Emotional well-being is tied to social interaction, to improve the human-canine bond; to build trust, to reduce anxiety and to promote happiness. For e.g. Service work, Therapy work, Structured interactive play, Balanced pack walks, Place work,Quality time..
