The chaser or the chased?
Do you have a "peace maker"
A dog that rolls others?
Every dog has their own play style...it's just sometimes dogs can struggle a bit to figure it all out.
There is nothing wrong with a small group of dogs playing either...it just needs a bit more supervision.

When that adrenaline starts to rise, things can turn sometimes.
Of course they can figure it out too....

Sometimes though they need your help.

QUITTING SO MUCH SITTING
Why asking dogs to sit all the time is not such a good idea
We may have been taught and truly believe that teaching our dogs to sit at our every cue is instilling good manners, it looks impressive, it demonstrates good obedience, teaches self-control, is incompatible to jumping up, running around or being reactive or over excited. Dogs are taught from puppies to sit before getting fed, going out a door, before being greeted, crossing the road etc. and this quickly becomes a habitual behaviour, but sometimes what we have been taught or always believed is the right way is not always what’s best for our dogs.
“Sit” is often the very first thing puppies are taught, whether we begin this at home or when going to puppy school. Just one session at puppy school may include up to 20 or even more “sits”. That’s a high intensity workout for a dog at any age, but puppies in their growing stage are particularly at risk due to their developing skeletal system. These sitting repetitions put excessive pressure on their growing muscles and joints which may lead to damage or injury that may only become apparent when they’re older.
Senior dogs may find it really painful to sit down and then get back up. Sitting puts pressure on the lower back, hips and supporting muscles. Certain breeds are just not designed to repeatedly sit.
There is nothing wrong with occasionally asking our dogs to sit and in some situations, it’s needed, but look at teaching alternative behaviours that are just as effective and won’t risk causing possible discomfort or pain. Wait, 4 paws on the floor, look at me or focus on me, hand touches or lie down are all behaviours that can replace repetitive sitting.

Great visuals 💖🐶🐾😉

Comfort isn't just physical.
It's also emotional.
We can provide them with the coziest bed and the best food we can give them....but still not give them what they truly need.

Safety.

It is a fundamental need we all share and it can take many forms.

Being sheltered from too much noise and chaotic environments....that's one way we can give our dogs safety.
Routines bring security for many, but not all dogs.
For some, certain routines may cause anxiousness.

When dogs lack that feeling of safety and security, we need to look closer at how to support them through this.

Newly adopted dogs often feel deeply insecure in their new home.
We can help them settle by having a calmer home and limiting visitors who are bursting to see your new addition.

Cautionary note....
These can be shown for many reasons, not just when a dog feels unsafe.

Sometimes we need to look a little bit harder at why they feel the way they do.

Happy 4th of July everyone! Great information below 💖🐾🐶😉

Happy Fourth of July! Crops and Flops Rescue Alum Rocky (fka Biggie Smalls) is kickin’ off the holiday weekend poolside! We’re pretty sure he was a sparkler in another life. Remember that more dogs go missing this week than any other time of the year. Keep your pups safe!

✓ Check your fences, gates, and doors.
✓ Make sure your dog has current tags on.
✓ Walk your dog on leash.
✓ Leave your dog home, away from the fireworks and festivities.

We have wonderful ADOPTABLE pitties right this very moment that sparkle like the 4th of July and are waiting to celebrate with their forever families! For more information, or to apply to adopt a deserving slice of sweet apple pie, visit: cropsandflopsrescue.org/adopt/adoptable-dogs/
