20 years
our dog parks a good idea for your dog today. That's what Sawyer the formable
French bulldog and I are going to be discussing click thumbs offer also
patriotic supporters because today's episode is brought to you by them without
you.
I
understand that there's a lot of dog training books out there to choose from.
There aren't many that have a 4.7 star rating on Amazon and so humble that the
dog training revolution is been so well received on the link in the
description.
If you
guys want to check it out dog parks can be great for some dogs, however, you
don't want to just assume that your dog is going to do really well at the dog
park or that other dogs are just going to love your dog.
That said, it doesn't mean you should avoid
them entirely for all dogs but there are some things that you want to keep in
mind before regularly committing to bringing your dog to the dog park first.
Don't just show up and hope for the best dogs
are incredibly social animals and their very complex and we can't possibly know
how they're going to react in every situation and socialization is extremely
important for dogs but dog park may not be the best place to socialize your
dog.
Let me
explain the reason dog park be a stressful place for many dogs is that very
often the dog park so the dogs are under exercise and this is the number one
cause for aggressive outbursts.
In my
experience also possible that your dog might become nervous or anxious for one
reason or another, but this doesn't necessarily mean that they have a strong
dislike of dogs.
They may just be a little overwhelmed in a
crowded dog park, as counterintuitive as it seems.
If you
have an energetic or mildly anxious dog, exercise them thoroughly before going
to the dog park because exercise dog is more likely to behave appropriately in
new and stimulating situations.
While it
might seem natural to take your dog to the dog park for exercise. Understand
that a dog's primary exercise should be with you is the primary person.
Dogs were
primarily created to do activities with people and this seemed to satisfy them
most.
Nothing
accomplishes this better or more efficiently than a game of patch or a long
walk with most dogs before you even consider frequenting a dog park you want to
make sure that you introduce your path to other dogs and more low-key
situations.
First,
the early socialization should be done methodically and in controlled settings
when socializing or don't start with a friend or neighbor's dog and always
confirm that there dog loves other dogs before allowing that you to interact.
Now if
you or they feel hesitant for any reason at all, just skip this particular
socialization session and save for another time.
Once you
reasonably sure that your dog is generally good with other dogs start small and
go to the dog park during off-peak hours.
Try to make sure that your dog is playing in
small groups of no more than three or four dogs at a time and don't let your
guard down its best to supervise and prevent altercations both or they
happened.
If you're
uncomfortable for any reason at all intervene and remove your dog from the some
cities have public dog parks and others have never dog park's not one of the
perks to a number dog park is that they often require vaccinations to be
verified and the dogs need to be spayed and neutered, which is great because a
female dog in heat at a dog park that can cause a lot of issues.
A good
alternative to dog parks is to find a local dog group or club and schedule
get-togethers.
Also check out your local community message
boards to they can be a great way to meet other dog lovers in your community.
