The position and the movement of your dog’s tail tells a lot about the state of mind of your dog. 3 Tail Positions : 1.) high (confident) 2.) neutral ( a relaxed/ happy dog) 3.) low (submission) Your dog’s tail wagging motion and speed gives insight to your dog’s state of mind. 4 Happy Wagging Motions 1.) large wags at a moderate speed ( happy to see you) 2.) small wags at a moderate speed 3.) small wags at slow speed ( happy/content) 4.) small wags at fast speed ( happy) The wag you should be concerned about is a slow and small rhythmic movement. Your dog is not sure and is ill at ease. Your dog needs to be redirected immediately before your dog lashes out.

Long before a dog fight occurs there are warning signs that dog display before the actual fight breaks out. Owners need to be objective and observant of their dog’s interactions with other dogs, if they do not want their dog to be in a dog fight. 1.) Play that hurts or scares a dog. 2.) Stalking that scares a dog. 3.) Pinning a dog with no release. 4.) Bullying 5.) Excessive barking at another dog. 6.) Mounting or humping another dog. 7.) Pushing a dog into submission. 8.) Body slamming play. 9.) Head and chin over the shoulders or head of another dog. 10.) Chasing another dog. Remember dog fights just don’t happen, there are warning signs you need to be aware and watchful. When you see these behaviors irregardless if your dog is instigating or is the recipient of the behavior, you need to redirect your dog. Never let the dogs sort it out by themselves.

There are lots of reasons why you should board your dog while you are away rather than have them stay at home with someone checking up on them periodically. Dogs are social animals; they want to be with people and other dogs. It provides an opportunity to play with others and allows the chance to meet new friends of the 2 and 4 legged varieties. New surroundings with obstacles and toys for them to interact with is also very important for mental stimulation and growth. Certainly not the least, dogs are pack animals and the facility we have at Blue Dog Boarding and Daycare Rockville lends itself perfectly for pack environment. If a dog always stays at home they never get much opportunity to learn and explore new environments; all they experience is what is in the house and whoever happens to visit the home. Their social skills are not refreshed and under utilized, therefore they begin to regress […]

Did you know at Blue Dog you can mix the boarding types for your pet? Yes you can! You can vary the amount of exercise your dog gets by alternating High Five ( non-stop play) to Paws Up ( 5 hours of play with the pack with two individual walks) or select Four on the Floor with 30 minutes of play and 3 individual walks! With the Four on the Floor boarding option we can now board unaltered dogs, dogs that medically need to have restricted activity, or dogs who really don’t like other dogs!
