5 Benefits of Dog Daycare
By Blue Dog on September 14, 2012
1. Dog Daycare is great for dogs who have a lot of energy and need to burn it off. 2. Dog Daycare is very healthy! They are very social and are pack animals and dog daycare is a way to have them play in a supervised and safe area. It causes less stress. 3. Dog Daycare is great for mental stimulation.

Tails It Is!
By Blue Dog on August 3, 2012
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.
