A fun and useful trick, Patch has learnt to come round behind his owner and between his legs. 👏⭐👏⭐🐾This can also be used as an alternative recall or if your puppy is worried, they will feel safer between your legs

☀️🐾Summer Heat wave🐾☀️

☀️We wanted to give a reminder to everyone about hot pavements and your puppies paws!☀️

🐾Pavement / road temperatures can get very hot during the summer and can reach temperatures 40-60 times hotter than the outside air temperature!

🐾You can carry out a simple test to find out how hot the surface is- The 7 Second pavement test rule. If it hurts you to keep either the back of your hand or your bare foot on the road / pavement surface for 7 seconds then it is too hot and not suitable for your dog to walk on!

🐾Remember - we wear shoes to protect our feet but our dogs do not - help protect them from burnt paws by being aware how hot these surfaces can become!

🐾Choose alternative surfaces such as grass areas for your dogs and puppies as they are generally cooler- but do still remember to check the outside weather temperatures. Choosing times of the day when it is much cooler such as very early morning or very late at night will help as pavements should be cooler. However, please do still remember even at these times that if the outside temperature is still too warm to walk your puppies and dogs safely and prevent them suffering heatstroke or burnt paws then give it is a miss!🐾

☀️All of us at Puppy School hope everyone is keeping themselves and their puppies cool and safe during this new current
heatwave.☀️
