Hello,
today's Topic is from a friend who's Aussie Pup got hurt Thanks for the topic Julie Hope Bailey Feels better soon.
What do you do when you have a pup who loves to run and play? but gets hurt? ok how about a hurt paw and is limping what do you do to keep them down and clam? well its hard to do that when they are young and want to go out and play. do you put them in a crate? you can but they will lick at the wound and that can make it worse so what do you do? well I was sitting here thinking about that after I got the text from Julie and this is what I came up with.
1. give the pup a nice hard chew bone or toy you can freeze it this will help take there mind off of the paw for a little while anyway. we use a product called soother spray or cream its made for animals and takes the pain away.
2, you can use a calming pill that you can get over the counter like at all pet they do work and it helps keep them clam and relaxed but not to the point they are out of it.
3. when they have to go outside for a potty break take them out on leash so they don't try and run off and check the paw for dirt and clean as needed.
4. if it doesn't get better soon call your vet for help sometimes they pick up stuff like we do they get splinters in there pads or a small cut.
we hope that Hopis little sister feels better soon so they can go play again

Hopi & Bailey
Hello,
The Post today is going to be about two friends Hopi & Bailey two female Australian Shepherds who are 3 months apart in age but you couldn't tell at all you would think there were litter mates sisters at that and that's what we call them they are both red but Hopi is a red-tri. they are great together running playing and even knocking people off there feet haha, when bailey first meet Hopi she ran didn't want anything to do with her but after about 15 mins they were best buds now you cant ask either one of them the others name with out them getting happy and doing the Aussie wiggle. well today Hopi went to baileys house to show her how to play with the agility equipment that was built for bailey and man they had tons of fun and it didn't take bailey long before she was tipping the teeter and going though the weave poles but the tunnel was another story bailey thought it was a nice shady place to go lay down and take a nap lol but once she saw Hopi again run though so did bailey i think the AKC best watch out there's two young Aussie's who will be taking that sport by storm and its the team of Hopi & Bailey the two red Aussie sisters .

Dogs & Wildlife
Hello,
Where we live at its not common to have wildlife come up and though our yard the dogs will bark and chase at them but of course we have a fenced back yard but most people around here don't so what happens is your dog is in full speed of that wildlife. are they going after a deer? or is that coyote trying to lure your dog out to kill it yes coyotes are nasty in that way. that's way doing a class should always be #1 on your dog list get your dog trained!!! recalls are the best way. just a week ago we had a very large coyote out back up at the fence trying to get our dogs to jump over it, why so it could lure them so its pack could kill them these pests carry some really bad stuff and it was a good idea to clean the back yard even though our dogs have there shots you cant be too safe. so the next time your dog is outside and its barking go look it just might be wildlife.

Hopi & Friends At The Fair
Hello,
Well yesterday our kennel club and some of its members were at our local fair taking part in the AKC RDO event talk about tons of fun not only for the owners of the dogs but kids who got to handle our dogs but the dogs who were out in the barn with livestock and livestock judging going on. Hopi did so good as she is only a year old and is still in her learning stages for showing and being around large crowds with noise this really did her good. as it did the other young dogs who are going into the ring in Oct as is Hopi to go for her title. if you have a dog that you want to show it don't matter if you have a pure breed or mix breed get them out around as many different settings as you can as this will help get them used to crowds and noise.

Out For Walks and Potty Breaks
Hello,
Man its been a few days for a post so here we go how many of you walk your dog? do you use a leash? is it 4ft or 6ft or do you use a flexi lead? how just let them run loose? I bet you are really thinking about this one. well lets take a look if you were out for a nice walk with your family and your dog was with think about it this way would you let your 2 or 3 year old child run around? no so why do you let your dog(s) when we walk ours they are on there leash and are right at our side like they are trained too when we think they need to go potty we stop and give them the commad potty why do you ask well thats a lesson for class but lets just say we have rules and the dogs follow them they even sit at the curb and when cars pass by they are told to sit. and or course we carry pop bags thats a must you dont want to make someone mad then to have your dog potty in there yard and leave it there thats just plain nasty. i mean kids may play there come on now. we like to use a 4ft leather leash on two of the dogs and a 6ft leather on the other she is bigger then the others. now go look and see what kind you use and if its a flexi get rid of them they are junk and a waste of your money.
thanks

Dog Parks
Hello,
Last night we took our pup over to the dog park with our friends pup they had a great time running and playing it was great dog parks are awesome to have in your town. but as the time went on this guy showed up with this mixed breed dog who doesn't play nice with other dogs he went in on the other side and his dog was growling and snapping though the fence at the two pups we soon got the pups away from the fence he was making friends with our pups and that's fine we didn't mind at all he tryed to get his dog to become friends she had calmed down some so he thought it would be OK to bring her over with our dogs we leashed ours to be safe his dog jumped on our pup bitting at her we got our pup away and my husband told him to control his dog or get it out. now you need to always be on the look out when you go to dog parks yes sometimes there are people there who think its OK to bring a dog who isn't going to play nice if a new dog does come in ask them to leash there dog and let the dogs meet that way if the new dog is showing any stress or growling you can always leave its better to keep your dog safe then have a fight yes we will take ours back again she had so much fun.
thank you

Does Your Dog Go Though The Door First?
Hello,
Here's A Question when you are taking your dog in or outside does your dog about run you over to get though the door? do you call the dog back to make them wait or just let them run by you? now ask yourself this. would you let them run out into a busy street? the answer is no so why do you let them run by you to get in or out the door before you? something you should do is put the leash on your dog and teach them to "WAIT" and this will make them behave better and not run you over plus if you have guests come over both young and old do you want that dog/pup knocking over your grandma? NO Dogs like us humans need rules they don't need to run wild in our homes or when we take them out.
Thank You

Training Collars
Hello,
It has been a few days since my last blog and here it is a topic that We feel is a good one to talk about Training Collars.
What type of training collars do you use? maybe you have a fav one? maybe you don't think your dog needs a training collar? or do you think a training collar is a choke chain? well here are my thoughts on it. Training collars are awesome there are so many different types of training collars out there you can use from the old school of choke chains now called chain collars and yes they do work good on dogs you just need to learn on how to use them just don't go buy one and put it on your dog just like a collar you have to fit them on if its to big or too small they wont work and can/will injury your dog always ask your trainer just not someone at a big box pet store how to fit them they are there to make money and they always don't care about your dog. now prong collars AKA pinch collars are a great way to train your dog again always ask your trainer to help fit this collar to your dog they don't slide over the dogs head as i once heard a so called trainer tell a customer, but you don't want to leave them on your dog for every long. now the limit slip collars are the best ones out on the market now as they will not choke your dog and as i was once told they will learn to respect the collar and they do as I have used all these training collars and will teach my students how to use these collars as well but they are a training collar and must be taken off after you are done with training as dogs have been injured when owners have left them on..
