Another command that I use a lot that you may find valuable with your dog is ‘not you’. It means quite simply that you don’t want your dog to come with you, but he doesn’t have to hold a set position. #thepetgundog #thepetgundoginstructor #thepetsbiz #gundogtraining

Just a gentle reminder that if you're out and about with your four legged friends, please keep them away from conkers as they're poisonous to dogs. 🐶🍁🌲

Wolves, like dogs, often play to have fun and play for the hell of it...when they goof off it feels good and they get much-needed exercise; they engage in frenetic "zoomies;" they play tug of war...

Slow and steady wins the race! 'Scales' is definitely the word of the day - great explanation, Megan :)

So, two simple ingredients for success when training dogs: 1. Use positive reinforcement (find out what your dog finds rewarding and use this to reinforce desired behaviour) 2. Patience.

The play bow is integral to canine play - check this video out to learn a little something this morning, with bonus cute slow-mo play shots https://t.co/oVhQJclQkj

An absolutely fascinating study. It's always worth remember that a dog is a dog, not a small, licky human!

[Marc Bekoff @MarcBekoff]

Be careful about saying that dogs are our best friends and family members --

"Are Dogs Really Our Best Friends or Family?"

An analysis of data from 107,597 dog welfare complaints from the RSPCA is very discouraging.

A perfect Sunday learning all about canine #firstaid with The Canine First Aid Company. Do you know how to make an emergency muzzle? #education makes the world go round!

We all know that heat can be unsafe for #dogs, but did you know that certain breeds are more at risk of heat stroke? Flat faces, shaggy bodies and excess weight are all higher risk factors.

@Naomi_D_Harvey Very sad to hear, it's always awful when age starts to take its toll. Sending you lots of healthy vibes

It's a great day to get out and about and enjoy the summer weather with your dog, why not mix things up and try somewhere new?

It might be a bad day to be an Aussie, but it's never a bad day with one of these guys around. Today's breed focus: the Australian Shepherd, courtesy of @akcdoglovers - intelligent, characterful and absolutely gorgeous. #ENGvsAUS #doggy #australianshepherd

With @Wimbledon in full swing, your house may be overrun with tennis balls, like mine! Don't forget different sized balls come for different sized mouths, like these ones from KONG. Pick the right size for your pup to avoid getting balls stuck.

Why spend money and create more plastic? You can use old tyres and household objects to make your own agility course. BUT it is a fantastic idea to use for #focus, #training, and bonding. You can even use it for practice avoiding negative triggers. Have a go!

[American Kennel Club @akcdoglovers]

Turn your backyard into an Agility course and train whenever! https://t.co/YfvUfqy4Nl
