The sun is finally starting to make an appearance, and that means one thing: beer gardens. And patio cafes, and even outdoor seating at Greggs. This means that you should give your dog a refresher on table etiquette. Too many dogs are roaming about, begging for scraps, disturbing other patrons, and if it gets bad enough, you might even find yourself booted from the establishment. We’re looking at how you can train your dog to have good table manners so that you can enjoy the outdoor dining experience without disturbing others.
Socialising Your Dog: Making the Most of Summer Outings
It’s not just us who need a night on the town to recharge with our friends. Dogs and puppies in particular need their owners to actively socialise their dogs to make sure that they develop well. It means that they will gain confidence, develop good behaviour, and reduce their fear and anxiety.
Summer is a great chance to socialise your puppy or even more mature dog with lots of outings. Summer is a time to be in nature, which is always perfect for bringing your pup along. So how can you make the most of it? We explore making the most of summer outings to socialise your puppy.
Beat the Heat: Avoid Your Dog Overheating and Safe This Summer
According to the RSPCA, there were over 8,000 calls made to their hotline about dogs in hot environments in just one summer (2020). This demonstrates just how much of a problem dogs overheating is. We might laugh that off, since we’re on an island that rarely sees the sun and the slightest chance of a tan is embraced every June, but dogs are different. They have a built-in coat to keep them warm, and they are more susceptible to heat exhaustion and heat stroke due to their smaller size and underdeveloped cooling abilities.
It’s important to take precautions to prevent heat-related illnesses in puppies during hot summer months. We’ve got a guide for you to make sure that your dog stays cool, calm, and happy throughout the summer months.
