With the weather changes next week to hotter days 😀🌞

I wanted to do a post re dog health in warm weather and exercise 🐕

Working dogs work all year all weathers but they are on a strict diet and well being checked, to provide a drink with nutrients and minerals to replenish them after a walk or training is vital in warm weather.

I have had working dogs for years and I do see dogs struggle when heat comes but with my homemade broth they thrive.

I do avoid exercising at the hottest part of the day and we tend to do early mornings and late evenings and sometimes if it's a heatwave it's nothing at all.

The animals come first ❤️

So here's my recipe for homemade broth suitable for all dogs, even over weight dogs 💪
Obviously dogs with allergies can change ingredients.

This broth is then diluted into a bowl of fresh water alongside a plain bowl of water.

🐕 Carcass from your dinner (avoid pork)
🐕 Organic low salt veg stock cubes
🐕 Water to cover the Carcass in slower cooker

🐕 leave to cook for a few hours I do mine about 4 hours
🐕 strain and bottle up the stock/broth
🐕 Top up the water bowl as and when you need it.
🐕 Every dog I know that's had it has remained hydrated and shiny coats 💪

😡 please don't not add salt into the broth as dogs can't regulate their salt levels and their food will contain enough to provide.

I have added a low salt stock cube but that will also be diluted.

I understand some people are vegan or vegetarian and may find it easier to buy ready made, most pet shops sell it but avoiding high salt and organic is better.

So I have been onto Facebook and reported 5 different people since my last post.
Nothing has come back and it's getting so frustrating.

it looks like I'm going to have to close my page and reopen a new page 😭 all them years 😔 every time I post I get about 4 random people threatening to shut my page as long as I give details 🤔😱🤬

I block them and report them but when I report they want me to confirm my details 🤔🤬

Working with one of my labs, who will be applying for her Health assistant vest next year 🥰 🤞 she's passed the first level 💪

Lots of training to do for myself and Winnie, and a lot of money but she's amazing, huge heart.
Why? quite a few situations have happened where she's taken it onboard and dealt with it herself I've not trained her to do that, other than obedience training and most importantly show her compassion.
She has assist people on different emotions, nerves, anxiety, mental health, health conditions and more.

I want to put her through the training as she loves it ❤️ but the most important part is to teach her to switch off and relax.

Her vest will go on and it will work, her vest comes off she will relax and not worry 🥰

Also after losing "Chunk"😔 I'm lost, he was my ears ❤️
Winnie has volunteered to step up from my pack of dogs already delivering such high standards of support.

She just don't bark 🤣🤣🤣🫣🫣🫣 so I'm learning her body language to what's around.

Being at work with me, she needs safety areas, not be distracted by other dogs and humans and have my complete trust ❤️

So looking forward to this journey ❤️

Carlie cares is still busy and adventurous 🤣 I need to start writing a book of my days 🫣 honestly some of the things the animals do amaze me 🥰

But I have had random messages from this account which I won't open, but I do know it's from Metra????
So I'm being careful 🤔 I don't know how to get rid of them.
Money has been taken from my bank 😭 but no bank account is set up with this. Well it's all been reported and the bank has blocked it.
But they can't refund as the taker just says Facebook with no details 🤔

So if I haven't replied to a comment or message that's why 🫣

I'm just praying I don't have to shut this account down.
As I have so much to share from the last few months ❤️

I haven't posted on here for a while as one of my dogs become poorly 😔 he was a elderly gentleman of 16 and needed a lot of care. ( I didn't realise how much care until he passed 😭 it just became our lifestyle)

He never had painkillers or needed medication always passed vet MOT with flying colours but he did have Dementia 🥲 so keeping everything as normal as I could so he could continue on his way 🥰 feeding smalls meals through our the day and the waking up every morning wondering if he had gone to the Rainbow bridge in the night 🥲

Well he came to me for a cuddle and that's when I knew he was on his way, he was so heavy but yet so calm 😭 I sat cuddled and talked to him with the vets on the phone and standby, he just wanted me and his family 🥰😭❤️ I feel proud I had a relationship with my dog and dogs that they could come and tell me and that they wanted to be with me on their passing 😭

Sadly he passed away in my arms Tuesday evening with family around him 😭❤️

I will be honest, I feel like I've lost my "right arm" 16 years he was beside me 🥰 he was my ears, my mate and my independence.

I built up Carlie cares because of him really, because of my "Chunk" he suffered with separation anxiety and I needed to be there to help him.
He loved Carlie cares and made so many friends and had so many adventures from babysitting chicks, looking after puppies 🥰 welcoming new animals and farm/yard life 🐎🐕

So I need to continue and keep his spirit going in the job he loved ❤️ and I love too xx

RIP Chunk ❤️ you are still with us everyday 🥰

Working with animals everyday, some days become challenging with health conditions and contact.

This is why I have made an ointment hand 💪 made with a disposable glove, stuffed with hay and taped onto my stick

Many animals get skin conditions especially at this time of year season change.

Some skin gets so sore and cracked applying creams, oils everyday can become irritating for the animals.
Then behaviour issues kicks in, it only takes one kick and for us to move to then let the animals know "oh ok that's how I survive this then" 🤔 then becomes an unpleasant stressful time for the owners 🫣

So my extension of my arm and oil hand goes onto my stick, pressure and release and all positive.
The horse remains calm and the oils get applied and then when the skin settles or conditions the animal becomes less stressed, the more hand contact.
Safety comes first 🥰

Working dogs with body language 🥰

Why?
My daily work load becomes busy and I never know what's happening next, working out side in Nature I can come across wildlife.

I want my dogs to remain calm and work with me around Deer, foxes and birds.

I've heard so many cases where the dogs been off lead a deer has come by, the owner goes into pannick, screams, shouts the dogs name which startles the Deer and then before you know It, the dogs gone and in some case the Deer is injured 🫣😭

Keep dogs on leads if they are unpredictable around Nature.

I train mine this way as I can't always have them on leads around live stock.

This body language, the rise of voice and body language tells the dog he's doing good even though they aren't, purely because the owners energy level has gone up and in fight mode, the dog then copies with Deer.

Also Horses and Cows, so many dangerous situations arise working with animals, I need to be able to communicate with my dogs from a few paddocks away.

Bringing in hand & arm movements allow the dog to have contact with me, body contact 💪 this creates safety, trust and a great work team.

Having dogs with different characters and work ethics can be challenging so using my body language allows the dogs to concentrate at their level.

I also keep one dog sitting and move another dog by my body language ❤️

My Jack Russel is retired 🥰😂 I wish I had never said that word he does as he pleases with in safety he is 16 years and 4 months 🥰 his bandage is to protect his paws as he has no pads to protect his feet.

Random post 😂🫣

But one of my biggest discussions in chicken care.
The eggs say it all 💪

Which ones are the Organic, free range and healthy chickens?

An egg is one of most households favourite food 🐓🐤 some most used IE baking, cooking.

My dogs have them too 🥰

But what eggs are the most healthy eggs and most importantly come from a happy, well nutrition and free range hen.

The orange yolk is the best egg.

How to create darker yolks?

Seaweed
Dandelion
Calendula
Are just a few they love, giving them so many benefits

Long lining horse games 🐴

Long lining can be a challenge itself 🫣

But bringing it in with stubborn ponies is great, builds confidence, respect and exercise 💪

This guy has become stubborn and his way only, with a strop and brake dance he can get out of it.

Everything has been checked, he just knows all the tricks especially if you take your attention away from him he sees an opening and he's gone 🫣

Not safe for children, if I was light enough I would love it 🫣

So long lining with games is bringing in team work, allowing him to say "ok" we will try it and also the bendy poles are great for a short concentration.

To work together and for him to have fun adventures he needs to listen. 🤔
I need to ask, then do it before he thinks about it 🤔😂 then he can feel the positive energy of something he would he would normally argue with 🫣

The Bendy poles, I ask, we walk, we've done it, he thinks 💪

Golden rule never rush ❤️

🐕How long can your dog sit for?🐕

💪 Do distractions with sounds and movements, make them forget to stay sitting?

🐕Do you have to repeat yourself saying sit to keep them sitting?

🐕 Sitting is so much harder to do than move, it's the opposite of what their bodies & minds do.

I bring in sitting with everything, such a great skill.
