PSA: Just because your dog doesn't growl or bite when your child handles them roughly, it doesn't mean they should have to tolerate it.

The onus is on the parent to teach children age-appropriate ways to interact with dogs.

The responsibility of safety is NOT 100% on the dog.

Teach the kids, not just the dogs.

Emails will not be checked this week as administrative staff are off prepping and competing with their dogs for a trial this weekend! Any urgent requests/messages, please call the school between 7-9am or 4-7pm.

Free feeding can actually cause more harm than good for your dog. Here's some reasons why trainers recommend feeding your dog on a schedule:

Free feeding can increase the risk of resource guarding. This is especially true with multi dog homes as well as homes with children. Dogs shouldn't have to feel stressed when they eat. Here, dogs are all fed in their crates. This also helps with giving them a positive association with their crate!

Free feeding eliminates a reason for your dog to "work". So many dogs are very food motivated. Food can be an excellent tool for training, but why would they work for it if it's left out all the time?

Free feeding also increases the chance of a picky eater.

When potty training, it's much easier to time what comes out by when it goes in.

Free feeding HIGHLY increases the likelihood that your pet will struggle with obesity which is one of the leading causes of health issues in dogs.

A great indicator if something is wrong with your dog is if their appetite suddenly changes. It's easier to determine this if you know how much your dog eats daily. How much you feed your dog can be determined by age, breed, size, and activity level. Structured feeding is also a great way to ensure your dog is getting the proper nutrition each day.

Unless your pet is on medication that needs to be given at a certain time, feeding schedules should work around yours. It does not have to be at the same time everyday.
