HUSH – It really works!   Skeeter’s bark is the worst of my two dogs. It pierces right through me and doesn’t stop.   When I was searching for a stop barking dog solution, I happened to see a blog under Chewy.com’s ‘Be Smart’ section of their website.   One of Chewy’s tips for barking dogs that I adapted for my house was --   🐶Say HUSH and throw a treat to the side. This takes the dog’s attention off barking.   🐶I did this several times for both my dogs.   Now, when they start barking in the house, I don’t have to be near them when I say, HUSH.   I am most often at my computer in a separate room.   When they start barking, I say HUSH, and they come running to me. Now, I have a choice,   🐶Continue giving treats, or   🐶Tell them how good they are.   Either way works!    😻 What’s so cool is, my cat thinks he’s a dog and comes running for a treat too.   ❓What do you do to stop your dog from barking?   💕“Soul to Soul” #animalcommunicator #petcommunicator #petproblems #animalproblems

Winston's tail wagging is one of the most heart-warming sights! It's often seen as a sign that our furry friends are happy and content, but why do our canine companions wag their tails so much? The main reason a dog wags its tail is to communicate with its owners and other animals. It can be a sign of excitement, happiness, and even fear. A slow, steady wag can indicate contentment while a more vigorous wag can be a sign of joy. Tail wagging can also be a way of getting attention. Just like a child trying to get their parent's attention, a dog may wag its tail to catch the eye of its owner and get them to look in its direction. It's thought that the direction in which a dog wags its tail can also tell us something about its mood. A tail that wags to the right may indicate a more positive emotion, while a tail that wags to the left may be a sign of a more negative emotion. We only get happy waggies from Winston! The next time you see your pup wagging its tail, take a closer look and try to interpret the message it's trying to communicate with you. #doglovers #dogtails #officedog

“Dogs wear muzzles because they bite.” Hard disagree - we're not alone in this, right? ✋ It doesn't mean a dog bites just because they're wearing a muzzle. Many dog guardians use muzzles as a preventative measure... a measure that can keep their dog, other dogs and humans safe.  Also, there are many people who choose to muzzle their dogs due to the extra consideration other people and dog guardians give them - often preventing bites by simply sending a clear signal to others that space is needed. Consider this: Waiting for a dog to bite before introducing a muzzle… is sometimes too late. Dogs shouldn’t have to bite to ‘qualify’ for a muzzle! Introducing a muzzle BEFORE a dog bites is the responsible thing to do. There's so much judgement when muzzling a dog that ‘hasn’t even bitten’ and that’s contributing to the number of dogs that have successfully bitten - if a muzzle was introduced earlier we might have been able to avoid a bite, potentially saving a life!
