How often do I need to walk my dog?

One of the most common questions we receive from first-time owners is how often they should walk their dogs. While more is almost always better than less for young and healthy dogs, understanding why we walk dogs is a good starting point which will help you make your own properly informed decisions. Walks are commonly understood to be how owners exercise their dogs, but can and do offer so much more benefit. Walks tend to be when dogs spend the most time outdoors which allows them to perform natural behaviours and fully exercise their senses which may be under stimulated

Dog Safety in Summertime

As temperatures rise in summer, it’s vital to remember that dogs experience and react to heat quite differently to humans. As delightful a time as summer is, owners must be mindful that their dogs require special care and attention to promote their health and wellbeing. Dogs are inherently highly vulnerable to heat injury, with 70°F being at the lower range of the danger zone. Symptoms of heat injuries include heavy panting, difficulty breathing, appearing lethargic and uncoordinated, and collapsing or vomiting. While situations which expose your dog to heat injury should be avoided at all costs, if you believe they

Keeping Working Dogs as Pets

Having a working dog as a pet can be an incredibly rewarding experience, but it naturally comes with unique considerations and responsibilities. These dogs will have been bred for specific tasks such as herding or guarding, and possess unique traits that set them apart from traditional companion breeds. Working line dogs are selectively bred to perform tasks humans require from them which demand particular skills and abilities. These dogs often have high energy levels, are very focused, and possess an unparalleled work ethic. While these characteristics can prove invaluable, they also offer certain challenges to owners more used to have

Can I Get a Protection Dog if I Have a Cat?

Cats and dogs are two of the most popular household pets in America. While they are often able to live happily together, this is not always the case, and we are often contacted by potential clients interested in getting a protection dog but are unsure if it can live alongside other pets, especially cats. In our experience, this is can be possible, but requires careful management and consideration. Bringing any dog into a household with cats will require a delicate balancing act. Both animals have unique behaviours and temperaments which may lead to conflict. In dogs’ cases, this is most

Should I get a German Shepherd or Malinois as a Protection dog?

We are often asked whether we recommend a client gets a German Shepherd or Malinois as a protection dog. As both breeds are excellent guardians and share many of the same characteristics, answering this question is not straightforward. The German Shepherd and Malinois share a common heritage as pastoral protectors who were developed and worked in the borderlands separating France, Germany, Belgium, and Holland. At heart, both breeds are highly intelligent, energetic, and protective dogs who thrive when given a job. They are often found employed as police or military working dogs, and have excelled in these kinds of roles.

Kennels, Dog Beds, And Crates

First-time dog and puppy owners are faced with any number of choices for leads, feeds, toys, and more. Given the size of the pet industry, choosing what to get your dog is often harder than one might assume or expect. Where your dog sleeps is no different, and we are often asked whether we recommend owners use an outdoor kennel, proper bed, or crate. While we do not object to outdoor kennels as somewhere a dog can temporarily relax during the day, we never recommend that family dogs are allowed to routinely sleep in them. Outdoor kennels ultimately serve to

Tips for Getting a Puppy

Getting a puppy is always an exciting time. You will be welcoming a new family member, and this may be the first dog that you own. Puppies are cute, fun, and can bring many benefits to their owners. However, they are not a project that should be taken on lightly. A dog is for life, not just a Christmas, and puppies demand far more of their owners than an adult dog would. This blog will offer tips for getting a puppy, and hopefully give some insight into how to care for one. When getting a puppy, owners should first consider

How The Police Use Dogs

Police forces around the world have made extensive use of dogs for hundreds of years. With their enduring utility, it is hard to imagine the police dog as a capability which could ever become obsolete. Broadly speaking, police dogs have two functions which occasionally overlap: protection and detection. In the US police dogs will often be able to offer both capabilities whereas in the UK they are usually separated. Protection work hinges on a police dog’s ability to bite a suspect, as well as its resulting deterrence. While sometimes incorrectly viewed as an escalation of force, deploying bite-trained police dogs

Can I Leave My Dog Alone At Home?

One of the most common questions we are asked is whether or not dogs can be left alone at home, and if so then how long can they be left for? Unfortunately, we are unable to give a single easy answer. Dogs will all respond differently to being left alone, so it is instead better to offer guidelines that can be applied to individual animals. As a general rule, it is preferable that dogs are left alone as infrequently as possible and if this is necessary then only for relatively short windows of time. As dogs are such social animals,

How to Bond With Your Dog

Dogs’ epithet of “man’s best friend” is as well-deserved as it is true. Dogs’ capacity for interspecies friendships is truly remarkable, and unlike that of any other domestic animal. Rather than humans domesticating dogs, it may well have been dogs who effectively self-domesticated so they could benefit from us and what we offered them. Dogs’ ability to bond with humans to the point of viewing us as surrogate family, or “pack” members has been integral to what they are as a species. Human owners and handlers must be prepared to invest time and effort into bonding with their dogs. This
