Lockdown Challenges: “reactivity”

With your dog’s routine being very different and the world around them very different, this lack of predictability and control may cause them to become stressed easily, and more sensitive to changes and triggers.

Stress busting activities, including lots of sniffing, will help. But the best thing is for you to make sure your dog gets lots of space from potential triggers.

This is preventative right now so that we can avoid bigger problems later on.

Stay safe & well!

Lockdown Challenges: Kids & K9s

Children and dogs cooped up together, as I am sure you can imagine, may lead to inappropriate interactions and negative associations being formed.

Active supervision means that you are actively interacting with and directly monitoring the children and the dog, and their interactions and activities.

If you can’t do that, it’s safer to separate.

Keep interactions low-key, and teach children and dogs to share space by providing them each with appropriate activities to keep them entertained.
