Giving your dogs a break in the hot weather

Giving your dogs a break in the hot weather. Dogs mostly go to the vets during the summer due to heatstroke. Dogs don't have to be out in high noon to get heatstroke. They can get it indoors, through play and not taking a break or from hot cars. There is no shopping, absolutely none that is worth the risk of your best friends life. If you need to go out, let your dog stay at home. Hire a dog sitter if they have separation anxiety, ask a friend to stay with them. Just please don't risk their lives in a hot car.
It's important indoors to have wet towels and blankets available for them to lie on as self cooling mats are great but for puppies and chewers not so great as they contain gel. Use fans on the floor to keep them cool. Play outside in the evenings when it's cooler. Have water available at all times.

When they do play encourage breaks and rest, over arousal happens very quickly during play and it's really important we monitor them and encourage them to cool down and rest from play so as not to over heat. You can use homemade pup cups, Doggy ice cream recipes, raw frozen bones and treats, frozen licki mats and enrichment toys and teething rings for dogs.

Also be aware of the risks of when dogs think eating the water from the hosepipe is great fun. It's fun to see your dog happy and playing but the risks are too high from consuming so much water. They can suffer with water intoxication or aspiration pneumonia. It's just not worth it.

You can read more here from the Wholedog Journal which also has safety around sea water too: https://www.whole-dog-journal.com/.../water-intoxication.../

​Absolutely enjoy summer with your dogs, but do it safely and always manage your dog(s) to prevent them from becoming over heated or unwell during the summer.

Or are you looking for support and would like to get to know us better?

If the answer is yes then click the image below to join my free facebook group. What is Miyagis Dog Training Community?
​
​So it is what it says on the tin! Its a community that is international of Clients and Colleagues with the most supportive and friendly people on the planet. Dog Trainers and Behaviourists from all over the world!

Why did I set up such a mammoth group?

​I wanted to have a group exclusively for Clients. For support and to meet uo and build on friendships from Classes or One to Ones. I want Clients to see you are not alone with your Dog and the problem you maybe having that you are not the first and won't be the last! I wanted a safe place where Clients could trade stories good and bad in one place for free!

I also wanted a safe place for the Trainers and Behaviourists I mentor within Social Media Platforms.

Why do this for free?

Because when I say I offer an holistic service I really do. It isn't about the money it is about you and your dogs. You and your dogs are all that matter.

​So I wanted to encourage people to do homework and build better quality relationships with their dogs. So 3 years ago I had a mad idea and set up the 100 days of dog training challenge. Once a day people would spend 5 minutes plus training their dog. Recording it and uploading their video onto the Community. Every participant recieved a Certificate.

​What I didn't count on was how many Professionals wanted to join and how fast word would spread. So this year 2020 I set up a 366 days of dog training challenge. 
​
We have Clients in America, Greece, Norway, Denmark and Spain. We have Trainers from Greece, Norway, Isle of Wight, America and many more Countries. As well as dog trainers and trainee behaviourists: I mentor all over the world.

​So again yes this group is free. It is still primarily for clients and for people to get to know me but we also have the challenge running. Again for free. So if you want to join click the image below to be taken to the group directly. See you there!
