We’re back from our short sniffy walk this morning and I would say it’s already starting to get too warm… If you haven’t walked to your dog yet please consider missing the walk today and doing some sniffing activities at home with them instead. Sniffing tires them out three times more than a walk so a 20 minutes sniffing session is the equivalent of a one hour walk.

This doesn’t have to be Scent Training Sniffer Dog style, like the courses I run, but can just be done with treats, an easy one is scattering their kibble in the garden for them to search and forage and find.

Adder season is here! It’s really important to know what to do if your dog is bitten by an adder as it can be fatal.

Bites can happen between February and October but are more common between June and August when the weather is warmer.

Adder bites are a very real risk when walking your dog in habitat suitable for adders.

Prevention is better than cure so keeping dogs on leads where there could be adders. Research used to say that wearing bells so the adders can hear them helps but adders can’t hear…however they can feel vibrations so stamping will help to avoid a meeting and help avoid an adder bite.

The majority of bites in dogs seem to occur between April and July but can still happen later in the year, most commonly in the afternoon when the adders are most active.

The key things to remember are to:

1/ Make a note of the exact time the bite occurred.
2/ Contact your vet immediately (or the vet nearest to where you are) who will tell you if your dog needs anti-venom and where to go if they don’t have it.
3/ Carry your dog to the car (letting them walk makes it worse).

Something like this is useful for heavier dogs so you can carry them but you would need to train it in slowly so they see it as a positive and not anything scary.

Why is my dog on lead in a field?

Is it:

A) because she’s injured
B) because she’s finding recall tricky at the moment
C) because being on lead (even if they could be off lead) encourages a slower walk and reduces arousal levels for Dogs who struggle with with over arousal.
D) because it’s too warm to be running full speed

All of the above of valid reasons, but what is your guess?

Jett and Roxy (some more of our regular scent dogs) come to us once a month for some scentwork fun!

We’ve talked about sniffing, how good it is for our dogs - releasing those happy hormones plus giving them an all round work out, I can’t rate it highly enough.

It’s also really easy to build it into your daily walks to give them a more interesting walk (it also means a lot of the fun comes from you so they won’t have to find it elsewhere, off in the bushes). You can do this with food, or if you’d like to teach you dog to be a pet sniffer dog please get in touch 🐶
