It's the doggie meet-up event in London you've all being waiting for! Theres no greater love than the gift of time together so this Valentines we have teamed up withThe Four Legged Foodies Social Club to bring you and your dog a Valentines Day to remember.
Created in 2009, National Change a Pet’s Life Day on January 24th recognises the hard work of animal shelter staff and volunteers and encourages fostering and adoption of shelter pets to raise awareness about the challenges they face every day.
The leading hashtag on social media is #ChangeAPetsLifeDay or #NationalChangeAPetsLifeDay so make sure to spread the word!
Remember we never tell you how you should get your dog but we always encourage and raise awareness to let you know you can also adopt or foster your pet.
It can be really stressful to think your dogs ‘bad habits’ are non-reversible and you should have done something different when they were puppies. Sometimes our dogs bad habits are not from what we did wrong when they were puppies but habits they have just picked up by us being a bit lazy with not setting up those boundaries like we did when they were puppies!
Some behaviour may be harder to reverse than others, but generally dogs can be conditioned, it’s just about being persistent, calm and consistent.
Socialising your dog means you are teaching them to be part of the dog community. It is not just about them being kind to other puppies but also knowing how to act with different types of peoples, environments, sounds, sights and smells. Most young animals are naturally made to get used to things they see every day, but as they get older they become suspicious of things they have never seen before. Exposing your puppy to lots of different things ensures they are not afraid of everything.
There are rarely things as exciting as welcoming a puppy into the family. Personally, it’s on par with not getting the food on your hand when stacking the dishwasher or having enough water in the kettle for 6 cups of teas!
If you’re already a paw-rent then you know what you’re in for but if this is going to be new for you, then we think it’s appropriate to bring in 2021 with the best advice we at Wyld Cub have up our sleeves.
Hello again Wyld Cub readers! We are back with Part 2 of the Behaviourists Perspective. Ria, from Barney and Rosies gave us even more information on the topic of fostered and adopted cubs than we anticipated and we just want to share it ALL with you in the dog community. We hope you love this part just as much as Part 1!
WYLD CUB welcomed back Ria from Barney & Rosie’s, this tie asking her questions surround the very difficult nature of introducing an adopted or fostered cub into a new home. Ria came back with such in depth and incredible responses to our questions, that we decided to split this into a two-parts for the community. We hope you enjoy the first part.
We know dogs can be hard work, attention seeking and require a lot of love but we also know dogs can lift your mood, provide stability and consistency in your life that hoomans can’t!
Here are three very important ways you and your Cubs can be paws-itive day to day.
Entertaining your dogs is not always easy. It can be time-consuming, tiring and feel like your dog isn’t really enjoying themselves properly. But entertaining your dog is not just about them, it’s also how you, as the owner, present yourself to your dog.
Here at Wyld Cub we thought it would be very informative of us to let you know in what ways dogs are great for your mental health. Dogs are not just part of the family; they are an integral part of your livelihood. They are not just your fluffy companion, your extra ear or your walking buddy; they have formed the better part of your and your family’s life.
