- There is NOT ONE single behavioral "problem" in dogs that needs any kind of tool or method that causes pain and fear in a dog. Not aggression, not reactivity, not hyperactivity, not pulling on leash, not anything. Pain and fear cause/exacerbate those issues. #dogs #kindness youtu.be/HmER1e1xVaA?...
- Little Clover had fun in puppy class last night and got a little sleepy in her dad’s arms. Just love her sweet face and floppy ears! #dog #dogsofBluesky #beagle #puppy

- Great video about the shake off and I’m glad she also talked about pain in dogs at the end. Pay attn to how far back the shake off goes. If it doesn’t make it all the way back thru the tail (if they have one), that may be a sign something’s going on in their hind end. bsky.app/profile/hann...

- Reposted by bekindtodogs she/herYesterday was #NationalLoveYourPetDay! For unhoused and vulnerable individuals- studies that the human shelters that accept pets have significant benefits to the owner, animal- and other residents. Why? Because a pet isn’t just a pet- they’re family. #WelfareForAnimals #HumanAnimalBond
- Pain in dogs is complex and not always obvious. Take the sploot position. People often think it's super cute, but for many dogs, even young dogs, this could be a sign that something is wrong. #dogs #painindogs #dynamicdog
