Life With Your Dog

Tips For Looking After a Friend's Dog During The Christmas Holidays [Q&A]

It's that time of the year for family getaways, and if your dog can't join in, a friend may have volunteered to look after the pooch.

• Things to consider before taking on the responsibility are:
• Making sure the dog gets along with the other dogs it's starting with or is good with the rest of the family.
• That there is adequate space for the dog or extra dogs and the property is secure.
• Regular exercise & training.
• Does the dog have separation anxiety/distress?
• Feeding guidelines.
• Does the dog have medical issues or requires meds?
• Firework phobia?
• Panos goes through these topics, and how it is important to consider them before either taking on a friend's dog or letting a friend look after your dog.

Ep10 - Adopt vs. Shop (It's Not a Black & White Issue)

In this week's episode Panos and Luke discuss the differences between "adopting" or "rescuing" a dog (the quotation marks are there for a reason), and purchasing a puppy from a breeder.

There is no better or worse decision, it is more about weighing up the differences to better understand which is best for you and your individual situation.

Ep7 - To Dog Park, Or Not To Dog Park? (That Is The Question!)

Dog parks seem to attract a lot of dog owners for the simple reason that most dogs have a really fun time playing with other dogs. Even though this is true, there are many issues that are created at dog parks.

The dog park could potentially be a dangerous place. Not all dogs are social in the way we would expect, which can lead to your dog having a really bad experience. Panos has trained over 1000 dogs in his career, and a big percentage of dogs he sees that are dog aggressive/reactive are a result of a bad experience at the dog park.

Also it can be a place where your dog learns to ignore you and place a higher value in other dogs, which isn't the worst thing, but can potentially affect your training. This doesn't mean all dog parks are bad or that your dog is guaranteed a bad experience but this episode is to share some light on the topic.

To dog park or not to dog park is up to you to decide, but make sure you make a well informed decision before entering.

Ep6 - The Importance Of Structured Walking For Your Dog (Why 20-20-20 Is A Crucial Number To Remember)

One of the most important tools you have in managing and training your dog is the walk. We discuss why a structured walk of rules and boundaries - along with play and engagement training - is important.

Panos explains how he walks his own dogs and what he teaches to his clients so that the dogs are being fulfilled - mentally and physically - on the walk.

The walk should be an enjoyable time for both sides of the lead.
