Canines come with an ongoing list of responsibilities for those who give them a home. They deserve nothing less than a home filled with kindness, understanding, patience, and love. Many breeds including mixed breeds adore children. Every situation is different. Every dog has a unique personality. Family lifestyles and dynamics differ. There are small breeds who adore kids. On the flip side, many don't. There are large breeds that are gentle giants and will often curl up next to a child. On the flip side of this - the size of a large breed dog should always be considered. Teaching our youngsters to show dogs kindness and respect to canines and all animals is vital. It begins with us. Their parents. Naturally, there are exceptions. Not all adults are animal lovers. If you are a parent who doesn't respect dogs, please don't pass that along to your kids. Let them learn the value of this themselves. #humananimalbonds #caninehumanbonds In case you are wondering - I'm more than a dog parent. I'm also a parent. So, here's the bonus question - how many times have you #huggedyourhound today? (Hound refers to all dogs) #lesleyosborncanineconsulting #dogsarefamily 🐾💞🏡 #doglovers #storytelling #author #tiatalksbook 🖋️ Available everywhere. Find me on the web ⬇️ The link is in the comment.

Do you know what to do with a Hol-ee Roller? It is ideal for destructive dogs or those who like to 'dis-embowl'. 👹🐾 These are a great way to channel your destructo-dogs' natural instincts and keep your sanity intact! Give them some interactive toys and puzzles that stimulate their senses and let them engage in activities like digging and foraging. 💡Here's how to make the most of your Hol-ee Roller: roll a treat up in strips of felt, cardboard or fleece, then push these into the Holel-ee Roller. Depending on the size of the Hol-ee Roller and the material you use, you should be filling it with a minimum of ten rolls. You can place the Hol-ee roller on the ground, let your dog squish, and play with it. Your dog will quickly learn to pull the rolled-up treats through the gaps individually, creating a similar behaviour to "disembowelling" without the mess. By engaging your dog with the Hol-ee Roller, you are providing them with a fun activity while reducing their destructive tendencies on things you don't want them to destroy. It's a win-win situation for both of you! 🕺🐕 #HappyDogs #StimulatedSenses #DogBehavior #enrichment #enrichmentfordogs #dogenrichment #dogtips #dogtrainingtips  #mentalstimulationfordogs #mentalstimulation #dogfun #dogactivities #dogindoorfun #dogmoments #dogdad #dogmomlife #dogmomlife #dogmoments #doggodoingthings #doggames #puppyfun #dogmomaf #dogdadsofinstagram #dogmoms #dogcommunity #dogtrends #dogsofig
