November 2011

iTalk fm

Its nearly Christmas and although the Pet lodge is fairly quiet before the xmas madness we have been very busy as always!
 
November has seen a lot of work taking place around the Doghouse and with a new roof being fitted to the house, 3 new extra large kennels being installed in the block, a new toilet area so the dogs can find a suitable spot without being attached to a human (nobody likes being watched), the exercise area being measured up for fencing and buying a new van for drop off and pick ups we hardly had time to stop and catch our breath!

Wet Dog!

It’s coming to that time of year……wet dog!!!


It is sometimes tempting to leave your dog's coat long for the winter, thinking that they need the extra hair to keep them warm, but this is not necessarily the right thing.

Long coats are high maintenance - they take longer to dry, tangle more easily,and collect debris. Your furry friend will often return from a walk wet and with mud, leaves etc clinging to the coat, and those that live in the campo –well that is the norm for the winter! They will need to get dry and warm in order to be comfy which is a challenge for a long coat.

Getting toilet training right

 
Toilet Training
 
House breaking, toilet training & potty prep are different names that dog owners use to talk about training their new dog where it is acceptable to pee and it’s also the number 1 reason why dogs become yard/outside dogs!
 
Now we are lucky enough to live in one of the most glorious climates on this planet however relocating a puppy to the back garden can be a bad idea.
 
When you first get a pup ideally around 8 weeks of age, they are like a sponge, taking in new information every minute, they need to get used to their new family, guests and the way that you live.
