Something to keep in mind this summer is to be careful when taking your dog outside, especially to an event, otherwise you risk burning their paws

July 4th pet safety

[mandana-the-service-pup]

I’m really curious what experienced people on dogblr think of this video. This video shows the neighbors rescue bully-mix getting away from their owner. I think they had just come home in their car with their two dogs. It’s slippery outside and the dog gets away from them. Accidents happen and the owner was enthusiastic in retrieving their loose dog which is always appreciated. The thing that has me a little confused is the dogs behavior and how determined they are to get into my yard.

For context, Mandana has some excitement reactivity with dogs. It’s something we prioritize especially since moving into a house with dogs on three sides of our yard. She’s gotten so much better. They bark at her through the fence while we practice ignoring them. She’s made so much progress that most of the neighbor dogs are recovering faster from their barking because she’s not reacting to them.

So here’s the thing. The bully-mix is the main barker and when we first moved in they got into a spat through the wooden fence but besides that their barking has always sounded like typical barrier barking and sniffing (as opposed to our other neighbors whose Mastiff and Bully-mix actively try to attack her) so I was a little surprised to see how determined this dog was to get into our yard while we weren’t even outside. I would expect to see this intensity if Mandana was outside but even without any dogs in the yard (and a short chainlink fence that’s easy to see through) the bully-mix was seeking a way in and checked both sides of our house to try to get in. (Also, they moved into the house around the same time we did so their dog doesn’t have a history of fighting with previous dogs on our property)

I’m from the country and I’ve only personally seen this kind of behavior in dogs who are 1) actively trying to get in a pen to kill livestock or 2) dogs crossing property lines to attack dogs on their own property. I have also seen excitement and pulling towards dogs who are playing in a communal dog yard and barrier aggression related to that.

I don’t want to jump to the obvious conclusion so I’m asking Dogblr: Was this a case of a curious dog trying to see what the neighbor dogs are doing or was this a dog on a mission to attack? I go through life expecting loose dogs to charge us at any give time but there is a big difference in catching a loose dog who’s coming to see what’s up and stopping an aggressive “out-to-kill” dog attack.

Service dog awareness rant

So, I went to Barnes & Noble with my friend on Sunday. My local B&N is pet friendly, so I brought my dog too, and my friend had her service dog. Anyway, we did our shopping, and my dog, who I’ve spent two years working on socializing properly, was SUPER good and stayed right next to me pretty much the whole time, which is what I want so she’s not bothering anyone or getting in the way.

My friend went over to get a drink from the Starbucks in the store before we left, but because I had my non-service dog with me, I waited over by the door away from the dining area. The security guard near where I was standing started talking to me, and he asked if my dog was a service dog, to which I replied that no, she’s not. If anything, I’m her service human because she’s almost 100% deaf. This guy goes on to say that I could just get her a service dog vest and be able to take her everywhere because she’s so well behaved that no one would think she’s not a service dog. I hate confrontation and was honestly just too flabbergasted to respond, but oh my word, N O. I would NEVER try to pass off my dog as a service dog just to take her places with me that she’s not allowed in because she’s a pet. And this guy was a SECURITY GUARD. My friend and I were both appalled because I told her about it on the way back to the car.

Like, I’m flattered that my formerly anxious mess of a dog behaves well enough to have multiple people (not just the security guard) think she was a service dog, so I know I’m doing something right with her training the past two years, but I’m also appalled that anyone thinks it’s okay to fake having a service dog just to be able to bring their PET everywhere with them. Just… no. Don’t do that. It makes things so much harder for people like my friend who NEED their service dogs. And not only is it illegal, but it’s also legitimately unsafe for your pet dog, and for anyone who has a service dog because many pet dogs aren’t trained nearly well enough to be safe around service dogs who are working.

And before anyone comes for me, my dog is safe around my friend’s dog because they know each other, and my dog doesn’t really react to other dogs unless they’re in her space and she doesn’t know them, but regardless, I wouldn’t ever ALLOW her to distract a working service dog. My dog and my friend’s dog get along great, and mine is not a distraction to her dog because he’s used to her. If my friend and I are going somewhere that’s not pet friendly, my dog stays at home, regardless of how well behaved she is in public.

How to de-escalate a dog charging at you

Turn 90' so its coming to your side, not your front. do not react much, and keep eyes on animal. Let it investigate but be ready to react if things turn sour. this just helps confuse and give dogs time to figure out your not dangerous, and also not interested in a hyper interaction.

Pet safety warning. Heat warning!

[mandana-the-service-pup]

Just got banned from a Sniffspot for suggesting this fence post sticking out at dog level is a hazard. I left a 5 star review and contacted them about the issue privately but they never fixed it so I mentioned it in my next review. Other people have also commented on it over the last couple of months but it seems I’m the only one who got banned. I guess bc I posted a picture.

It’s such a simple fix to keep dogs safe. IDK why they would rather ban me than move the post?

And their argument is that it’s an “agricultural space” and they want to turn it into a farm eventually so there’s going to be hazards but i grew up on a farm and this would have been dealt with immediately and whoever left it out would have be chastised sooo 🤷‍♀️

When summertime comes around, there are often lots of warnings for dog owners about how hot cement gets and "if you can't hold your hand to the cement for 7 seconds, it's too hot for your dog". You don't really need to worry about that until 1 or 2pm. It takes some time for the cement to soak up the heat and then release it.

More important is the general outside temperature.
