Remember, if it’s too hot for your hands or your bare feet, then it’s too hot for their paw pads! ⚠️

If you’re unsure whether it’s okay to let your pet go for a walk on pavements, a simple way to test the temperature is by holding your bare skin on the tarmac for five seconds ⏱️

If you find it painful, then your pet will find it painful to walk on!

To protect your pet, it’s best to avoid walks during the hottest part of the day, which is usually between 8am and 6pm. If you can't safely exercise your dog, missing a day won't hurt.

So you don't need to be a rocket scientist to know it's bloody hot out there.
This morning I've seen a woman walking her dog, had she been closer as I was driving past I'd have thrown something heavy at her to try & knock some sense into her.
This afternoon I see a video of a dog walker that's got a dog bombing around a woodland area, doing relentless laps, the worst bit, this individual was dismissing all the warnings about dogs dying in hot weather saying high energy dogs still need to go out, the most worrying part was the dogs owner commented saying 'thank you for wearing him out'.
She's not wearing your dog out Mr dog owner she's potentially killing it, will you be thanking her when she's ringing from the vets to say your dog is half dead.

I've got high energy dogs, they haven't been out for 3 or 4 days & they're fine.
Perhaps I'm old & cynical because I've seen dogs with heatstroke gasping for air, I've pulled dead & dying dogs out of cars & I've held dogs while they're put to sleep because of the long term effects of heatstroke.
Seriously people, stop being so irresponsible,
your dog will NOT die from missing a few walks & seriously if I see one more person being dismissive of the warnings because they think they know better or one more person walking their dog in this heat I will start naming & shaming.
I'm not earning at the moment because I'm not doing walks, it's a pain but I'd rather that than be responsible for subjecting a dog to something totally unacceptable & unnecessary.
If any walkers are that desperate to earn a few quid that they are willing to still take dogs out in this I will pay you to leave the dogs at home.

One of my high energy dogs enjoying the cool shade at 8am this morning, she's been indoors ever since.

I’m going to say it just once in the hope it points people in the right direction.

If you have a nervous/reactive/fearful dog, that gets over whelmed with passing dogs/people etc. When using operant conditioning to train your dog, positive punishment is not going to help them. It’s that simple.

Positive punishment means to add something that the dog does not like, when the dog has displayed a behaviour, to stop it happening again.

This means your prong collars. Your physical touch. Your shock collars. Your spray “correctors”, etc etc.

It absolutely breaks my heart to see dog owners being told my professionals to whack a prong collar on their nervous dog and all their problems will be fixed. They might stop their initial reaction for a little while. You might think all of your worries have gone. But you’ll soon realise that you’ve only forced your dog to shut down, created even more of a negative association to the stimulus, and ruined your relationship, only for it to come out worse later on anyway.

When Instead you could be working WITH the dog, building confidence, strengthening your bond and having clear communication resulting in a happier dog that’s able to learn and change the emotional response.

Please research the people you pay to train you and your dog. Please question any unkind methods. Look at the stuff they post, do the dogs in videos look happy and relaxed or do they look worried, confused or even fearful? There has been a HUGE rise in dog trainers and behaviourists who are, quite frankly, taking advantage of dog owners.

You, and more importantly your dog; deserve better.
