This is 7 year old Comet….another beautiful furry fella. He’s had a traumatic couple of months with injuries and was feeling happier and relaxed after his therapeutic massage. Comet had a real blueish tinge to his Border Collie coat ❤️🐾🐾

This is 12 year old Harry ❤️. What a beautiful dog is this Dalmatian ! He has inflammation in his rear legs which I suspect is arthritis. He was so relaxed during the massage and seemed to be freer in movement post treatment.
Otherwise, in great shape for a senior doggie, credit to his mum 😊🐾🐾

What a beautiful girl is Andy! She is a 10 year old Rottweiler who has been favouring her left front leg for 5 months. X-rays have failed to find a problem.
Her owner thinks it’s a muscular problem. After treating her, maybe her tricep and deltoid are in need of attention….she loved the massage anyhow 🐾🐾❤️. Another massage booked for next week 👍

Nice morning for a walk! That is, until the big black off leash dog rushes up and jumps all over us. Where's the owner? Looking at her phone, shouting "he's friendly".

So many things wrong here. Potential for dog fights, injuries, law suits, dog park angst and a morning spoiled. It's not hard to manage your dog and respect everyone else on their walks.

Dont let your dog get into trouble because of your stupidity! Please think of others out there on your walks & avoid confrontation or fights. ☺️

It seems that the ultimate goal for dog owners is to have a dog they can bring to a dog park because that must mean their dog can tolerate and deal with anything 🧐

And I wonder why that's so important?

I understand that many owners with this as their goal in mind, doing it with the best intentions, assuming they’re doing the right thing and are improving the quality of their dog’s life. And for a small amount of dogs, it can be a great experience.

But…

If you have a dog that doesn't really enjoy other dogs, you don't do your dog any favor trying to get him to a point where he can "tolerate" being at the dog park...usually it's quite the opposite and you'll lose your dogs trust that you got his back.

Or if you have a dog that enjoys playing really rough, why is it so important that he can "play" with the miniature doodle at the park rather than finding him a personal play mate that is on his level?

There's many reasons why I don't bring my dog to a dog park regardless of how well tempered and balanced my dog would be...the environment is just way too uncontrolled.

It's like going to a night club, you never know what to expect LOL

The fact that the majority of dogs are dog selective, meaning they prefer a more social circle than having to hug and kiss every stranger they come in contact with, is just another one.

But one of the big reasons I don't bring any dogs there is, because it really is a very unnatural environment for dogs and if you'd like to understand more about this, read my article on that topic.
