Hi DOGSLife readers, Welcome to one of my all-time favourite issues of DOGSL ife — the behaviour and training special! As a dog owner, I spend so much of my time wondering what my dogs are thinking and what I can do to understand Berry and Danger better, so this issue is right up my alley — especially the feature on canine communication on page 20. Make sure you check it out to help strengthen your bond with your pet. We also look at two of the most common dog behaviour problems: a pet that pulls on the lead and a dog that barks. Find out some simple techniques you can use to try to stop these issues for good. However, it’s worth noting that there are rarely quick-fix solutions. When it…

A pain for pets Colder temperatures sadly mark the beginning of arthritis and joint pain for many of our beloved furry friends, and with the weather being unpredictable at the best of times, we can’t guarantee that the worst of it is behind us. As a pet owner, it is important to keep an eye on your favourite animals and know how to spot the signs of joint pain. Save your pet from any cold-weather blues this year by reading up on what you can do to help put a stop to your pet’s aches and pains. What is joint pain? The general term used, arthritis, means inflammation of the joint. There are three main forms of arthritis: septic arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Septic arthritis is caused by an infection and rheumatoid…

Dog-tastic competition

With spring finally here, our dogs are playing outside more than ever. That’s why we love the Dirty Dog Doormat. This versatile mat can be used as a mat in houses, vehicles, pet washing areas, crates and under food and water areas, making the job of cleaning up after your pet that much easier. Using advanced microfibre technology, the Dirty Dog Doormat instantly soaks up water, slobber, mud and dirt, keeping your floor and car clean. Thanks to a high ratio of grams per square metre, the density of this mat is second to none, allowing maximum absorbency when compared to competing products. In fact, this mat can absorb dirt and water up to 15 times its weight. And, when it is thoroughly soaked and ready for a clean, you can…

Canine communication

What do you think your dog would say if she could talk to you? Would she discuss world events, gossip about people you both know, or maybe just use her new-found vocal skills to request more tummy rubs? In some ways, the fact that our furry friends don’t have the gift of the gab is one of their most endearing traits. But it can also be confusing and at times frustrating as we struggle to make sense of what it is our canine companions want and need. The good news is that, while dogs may not be able to talk, they can communicate with us in many ways. “What humans need to do is learn the language so it can be interpreted correctly,” explains Chiara Perri from Point Cook Dog Training. “Dogs…

Things your dog “should” be able to do

While there are dogs that can master the intricacies of expert-level agility skills, there are others that will be happy settling for the bare basics. These skills are not just for puppies either; they are the behaviours dogs need to be able to call upon throughout their lives to stay safe and happy, and as an owner you’ll be a big part of reinforcing them each day. So which skills should dogs learn and why are these important? START WITH BASIC COMMANDS AND DEVELOPING A RELATIONSHIP Before you get stuck into the basic commands, it’s important to lay the foundations that help your dog trust and respect you, Sarah says. “It’s important to teach a new dog to be calm, attentive, and to want to be around you,” she emphasises.

Canine communication

We’ve all seen it: a mischievous mutt that pulls and tugs on his lead. It’s uncomfortable to have your arm stretched and pulled, and without sufficient control of your dog it can potentially place both of you in danger. Some people think a dog pulls on the lead because he wants to be top dog, but according to dog trainer Steve Austin, the reason is far less complex. “The dog learns that pulling is the best way to get him where he wants to go because when they pull, we follow them,” he says. A dog is keen to explore the world outside the confines of his yard, and a human’s ambling pace often isn’t fast enough for a dog that just wants to romp and run with carefree abandon. So dogs…

Did you know that humans make around 500 different sounds and there are more than 7000 spoken languages? That’s a lot of different ways to communicate using sound. Dogs have just four: growling, howling, whining and of course barking. Dogs bark for many reasons: they’re excited, to warn off intruders, or because something has captured the dog’s interest. Basil Theofanides, president of the Australian Association of Professional Dog Trainers Inc, says some breeds, like guarding dogs or terrier breeds, are also more prone to barking. “Barking for dogs is innate; they’re doing what comes naturally,” he says. “You don’t want a dog to stop barking, just to bark at the right times.” It’s when a dog barks excessively or inappropriately that it’s classed as exhibiting problem barking behaviour. While the sound of your…

Ch-ch-ch-changes! Settling your dog into a new routine

Dogs become family members for many years, with some reaching up to 20 years of age. It’s no surprise, then, that they face the same life changes and stages we go through. Like us, our pets rely on routine, and these life events can be a difficult transition for them to adapt to. Dog behaviourist Laura Vissaritis says it’s hard, but we can help. “If you think from our pets’ perspective, this world is unpredictable and they have very little control over it. So a life that has patterns and expectations can be a great relief for them,” says Laura. “Any change to this can affect their mental health and behaviour. Moving to a new house, bringing home a baby or a new animal are changes that our pets are unable…

To treat or not to treat?

Nowadays, a reward-based approach forms the basis of train ing for many dogs. When the dog does something good, they get a reward — and that reward usually takes the form of a tasty treat. “Rewards work because positive reinforcement works — the psychology behind it is the same psychology that impacts us as humans,” explains Sarah Wahjudi, head trainer at Melbourne’s Positive Pups. “At its most basic, a reward is something that you enjoy or want and if repeating a certain behaviour or action gets us more of it, we are more likely to continue with the same behaviour. The same can be said for our four-legged friends.” But what if your dog isn’t food motivated? Take Harry, the seven-year-old Swiss Shepherd, for example. A loyal, lovable and playful pet, Harry…

Scratch that itch

Fleas are the most common parasite that affects canines and they’re also one of the most preventable. Fleas will either jump or crawl onto your dog, and once they’ve latched on they can make your dog’s life a misery. Dr Paula Parker, president of the Australian Veterinary Association, says you may find fleas all over a dog but they prefer to set up home around the base of the dog’s tail. “If your dog has a flea problem, you’ll often see itching, scratching, biting, and losing hair in the area above their tail,” she says. If you can’t spot fleas hightailing it when you go searching for them on your dog, you may be able to see what they leave behind — flea dirt — which is really flee poop and some…

There’s something in the air

Spring is here and the flowers are out. While it’s lovely to see them bloom after a long winter, this also means an increase in pollen in the air and those dreaded allergies. A whole range of triggers can cause allergies and they are not exclusive to humans; your dog can be affected by them too. “An allergy occurs when a dog’s immune system overreacts to a substance, called an allergen, in the environment,” explains Dr Leigh Davidson from Your Vet Online. “An allergen for one animal may not be a problem for another animal, and reactions can be different.” Dogs can be affected by three major allergies: flea allergies, food allergies and environmental allergies, also known as atopic dermatitis. The latter can be caused by a reaction to grass, weeds, tree…

Cancer cure progression

Cancer is a scary word for many people and hearing their beloved pet has this deadly disease can be devastating. But a cancer diagnosis isn’t a death sentence anymore thanks to advances in canine cancer treatments. “Approximately one in four dogs will develop cancer in their lifetime, but thanks to more pet cancer awareness, improved preventative care and early diagnosis, we are better able to fight canine cancer,” says veterinary oncologist Dr Angela Frimberger from Veterinary Oncology Consultants (VOC) in New South Wales. Clinical trials in veterinary oncology are also growing in scope and importance as researchers evaluate new therapies aimed at improving the outcome and quality of life for companion animals, as well as human patients with the disease. Over the past couple of years, Dr Angela and her team at…

Chances are that when you first decided to purchase a dog, the only dollar figure on your mind was related to how much you’d have to pay for that little bundle of cuteness you had your heart set on. A few years down the track and reality has set in: vet bills, food, toys, parasite protection … it all adds up rather quickly and can make for an unpleasant surprise if you’re not prepared for it. Too many people surrender pets and finances are one of the reasons this occurs. So how can you cut costs when budgeting for life with a pet? VETERINARY BILLS Going to the vet is a non-negotiable part of owning a dog. Your dog needs to be vaccinated to protect it against disease and illness that could result…

HOW TO: choose a pup

Deciding to become a puppy owner can be a big decision. Whether you’re opting for a purebred or a beautiful mixed breed from a shelter, the choice is bound to be difficult and checking your emotion at the door isn’t always easy. Here is the DOGSLife guide to staying focused when choosing your forever pooch. EXERCISE REQUIREMENTS Are you a bit of a couch potato or are you the sort of person who wants to get up and run 5km every morning? The level of activity you have and expect to have for the next 10 to 20 years is important when choosing a dog. You want an animal that will fit in with your lifestyle to ensure you both get the best out of each other. GROOMING Your pet’s grooming could take a…

TOP TIPS for DIY dog grooming

As a general rule, it’s pet parents that are keen on keeping their dogs clean and odour-free. Our four-legged friends would quite happily strut around emitting their unique “odour de dog” if we’d let them. But smell and home hygiene aside, it’s important to keep your dog’s coat in a well-maintained condition to avoid infections and skin complications that can occur from matted fur. Lara Shannon from Pooches at Play says regular brushing is vital. “The rule of thumb is to brush your dog once a week for every centimetre of hair. So if your dog’s hair is 1cm long then brush once a week, 2cm long then twice a week and so on.” Dr Joanne Sillince, managing director of Pets Australia, recommends undertaking basic training before you start grooming your dog.…

HOW TO: avoid council fines

Many of us have experienced the cheeky, sometimes misguided behaviour of our dogs. Some pooches may have barked incessantly while we were out, while others may have taken themselves for a walk, jumping or digging under the fence to escape. While this is commonly seen as boredom, anxiety or fearful behaviour by trained dog behaviourists, many councils will not accept it and if repeated, owners can end up with a hefty fine. So how can this be avoided? Dog behaviourist Laura Vissaritis says it all comes down to respecting the rules and being a responsible pet owner. “If I had a wish list, I would want dog owners to complete a course that challenged their understanding of what responsible pet ownership is,” she says. “Owning a dog doesn’t just involve feeding and…

A good doggy guest

Do you hate doggy discrimination? Do you feel frustrated when a campsite doesn’t accept dogs? Does it upset you that you can’t book into the caravan park located right on the beachfront because your dog is travelling with you? We’re on a year-long road trip around Australia with our dogs Keiko and Summer. We’re constantly on the lookout for dog-friendly spots to stay and have experienced some amazing places and properties that welcomed us. However, this also means we’re well aware of the number of places that won’t allow dogs. Disappointingly, it’s the poor behaviour of previous guests that can often be the reason behind such doggy discrimination. To try to prevent this, those of us who travel with our dogs need to set a good example so that better opportunities open…

A good doggy guest

Dogs are our constant companions, bringing love, joy and a whole lot more into our lives every day. But some canines are more than just pets; they also have important occupations, heading off to work each day in a variety of industries and roles right across Australia. These are the dogs with jobs. Let’s take a look at what it takes to become a working canine as we meet a therapy dog, a canine real estate agent, and then investigate the hard work and training involved in becoming an assistance dog. RALPH, THERAPY DOG Two-year-old Schnoodle Ralph just loves being around people. “He wants to be in the same room as you, no matter what you are doing,” says Penny Gibson of her fur-baby. “He is smart, caring and empathic.

Gail May signalled for Lola, her now-deaf Alsatian Kelpie cross, to lie down on the Persian rug in the lounge. Working hard to maintain a “stiff upper lip”, she watched as the vet shaved Lola’s leg and gave her the injection. The minutes waiting for 12-year-old Lola’s heart to stop were agonising, even though Gail knew the right time had come. Afterwards, she was devastated, but also confused. “My dad had had cancer for a really long time, and when he finally died, I was happy that he was out of pain,” the 58-year-old management consultant explains. “Then when our dog died, I was really sad. I thought how bizarre is that — that I could be happy for a human at peace but not for my dog.” While losing a beloved…

Nelson is no ordinary psychologist. This “young man” is a remarkable therapist with an uncanny ability to instil confidence or calm in anyone simply by being present. What makes Nelson so unique is that he has four legs, a wagging tail and plenty of fur to share! “Dogtor” Nelson is a two-year-old Labrador that works as a professional therapy dog at Newcastle Psychology and Health Clinic in Lambton, NSW. He belongs to practice owner and psychologist Dr Paul Spencer, who mainly treats children and adults with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. Dr Paul says having a “therapy buddy” in the consulting room with clients has been so successful that clients call the practice to make sure Nelson is in before attending. He offers support to people from all walks of life,…

A few years down the track and reality has set in: vet bills, food, toys, parasite protection … it all adds up rather quickly and can make for an unpleasant surprise if you’re not prepared for it. Too many people surrender pets and finances are one of the reasons this occurs. So how can you cut costs when budgeting for life with a pet? VETERINARY BILLS Going to the vet is a non-negotiable part of owning a dog. Your dog needs to be vaccinated to protect it against disease and illness…

Trust is a four-letter word

When I first brought Ryder home, it was an adjustment. He was abused, near death when he was found, then rescued, and he lived in a crate at a shelter for three years. Ryder’s a Bully and I was concerned about the reputation of this breed. I educated myself. I believe it’s not the breed but the owner that dictates a dog’s behaviour. Ryder was a big boy, brought into new surroundings, and the slightest movement of my hand would spook him. That was hard to watch and took months for him to get over. I was very calm with Ryder. I never raised my voice and the first word I taught him was “safe”. I let him lie across my lap, pet him slowly and told him, “you’re safe”. I wanted…

HOW TO: choose a pup

Deciding to become a puppy owner can be a big decision. Whether you’re opting for a purebred or a beautiful mixed breed from a shelter, the choice is bound to be difficult and checking your emotion at the door isn’t always easy. Here is the DOGSLife guide to staying focused when choosing your forever pooch. EXERCISE REQUIREMENTS Are you a bit of a couch potato or are you the sort of person who wants to get up and run 5km every morning? The level of activity you have and expect to have for the next 10 to 20 years is important when choosing a dog. You want an animal that will fit in with your lifestyle to ensure you both get the best out of each other. GROOMING Your pet’s…

TOP TIPS for DIY dog grooming

As a general rule, it’s pet parents that are keen on keeping their dogs clean and odour-free. Our four-legged friends would quite happily strut around emitting their unique “odour de dog” if we’d let them. But smell and home hygiene aside, it’s important to keep your dog’s coat in a well-maintained condition to avoid infections and skin complications that can occur from matted fur. Lara Shannon from Pooches at Play says regular brushing is vital. “The rule of thumb is to brush your dog once a week for every centimetre of hair. So if your dog’s hair is 1cm long then brush once a week, 2cm long then twice a week and so on.” Dr Joanne Sillince, managing director of Pets Australia, recommends undertaking basic training before you start grooming…

LIMPING CONCERNS Q: Dear DOGSLife, My Staffy has started limping, raising her front right paw. It doesn’t happen all the time — just early in the mornings, when it’s a little colder and we’re first starting on her walk. Is this something I should get investigated early, or should I wait for her annual check-up in a few months? It’s been happening for about a week. Chelsea, via email Dr Michael Archinal says: Hi Chelsea, there are many potential causes for the foot issue you mention and because of this, just as many treatments depending on the specific cause. You say that she tends to “warm” out of the limp, which is an important piece of information. This means that simple issues such as grass seeds, toenail injuries, muscle strains, cut pads etc…

HOW TO: avoid council fines

Many of us have experienced the cheeky, sometimes misguided behaviour of our dogs. Some pooches may have barked incessantly while we were out, while others may have taken themselves for a walk, jumping or digging under the fence to escape. While this is commonly seen as boredom, anxiety or fearful behaviour by trained dog behaviourists, many councils will not accept it and if repeated, owners can end up with a hefty fine. So how can this be avoided? Dog behaviourist Laura Vissaritis says it all comes down to respecting the rules and being a responsible pet owner. “If I had a wish list, I would want dog owners to complete a course that challenged their understanding of what responsible pet ownership is,” she says. “Owning a dog doesn’t just involve…

CAVALIER KING CHARLES SPANIEL

BREED FEATURE: CAVALIER KING CHARLES SPANIEL Adirect descendant of the small Toy Spaniels seen in many pictures from the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has a rich heritage interwoven with royalty. Toy Spaniels were deeply favoured by the court ladies of the United Kingdom and it has been reported that King Charles II was often seen with his Spaniels by his side. Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniels received their name because they were bred in a strain of red and white at the Blenheim Palace by the Dukes of Marlborough. Dogs were bred with a shorter face in the years that followed to bring about the shorter flat face of the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel that we know today. Regal by name and royal in nature, this beautiful…

A good doggy guest

Do you hate doggy discrimination? Do you feel frustrated when a campsite doesn’t accept dogs? Does it upset you that you can’t book into the caravan park located right on the beachfront because your dog is travelling with you? We’re on a year-long road trip around Australia with our dogs Keiko and Summer. We’re constantly on the lookout for dog-friendly spots to stay and have experienced some amazing places and properties that welcomed us. However, this also means we’re well aware of the number of places that won’t allow dogs. Disappointingly, it’s the poor behaviour of previous guests that can often be the reason behind such doggy discrimination. To try to prevent this, those of us who travel with our dogs need to set a good example so that better…

BREED FEATURE: ST. BERNARD An impressively muscular giant, the St. Bernard is descended from alpine mastiffs first brought to Switzerland with the passing Roman army. The Bernadine monks from the Hospice Grand St. Bernard, situated 2400m above sea level in the Swiss Alps, have used this breed since the 1660s for draught work and to find travellers lost and stranded on the mountains. Since that time the St. Bernard, as the breed has been known since 1865, has saved an estimated 2500 people. It is easy to see why this trustworthy, loyal and intelligent dog has become so popular throughout the world. Debbie Egglestone of the St. Bernard Club of Victoria and St. Bernard specialist judge has been breeding these magnificent dogs for more than 25 years. “Saints need a guardian who is…

Dogs are our constant companions, bringing love, joy and a whole lot more into our lives every day. But some canines are more than just pets; they also have important occupations, heading off to work each day in a variety of industries and roles right across Australia. These are the dogs with jobs. Let’s take a look at what it takes to become a working canine as we meet a therapy dog, a canine real estate agent, and then investigate the hard work and training involved in becoming an assistance dog. RALPH, THERAPY DOG Two-year-old Schnoodle Ralph just loves being around people. “He wants to be in the same room as you, no matter what you are doing,” says Penny Gibson of her fur-baby. “He is smart, caring and empathic.…

BREED FEATURE: BLOODHOUND Dating back more than 1000 years, the Bloodhound is one of the oldest hound breeds. It’s believed the monks of St. Hubert in Belgium perfected the breed, which was later taken by Normans to England and then to the United States. Believed to be descended from the old St. Hubert and Talbot hounds, the Bloodhound’s name was derived from the expression “blooded hound”, meaning a hound of pure breeding. Today, all Bloodhounds are black and tan, liver and tan or red. The Bloodhound thrives on trailing rather than killing, and has been used to trail animals, criminals and lost people. In the US, their testimony is taken as evidence in a court of law and they are used extensively by local lawenforcement agencies and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)…

RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK

BREED FEATURE: RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK Shaped like a blade, a line of hair runs in reverse along the back of this breed. The widest area sits on the shoulders and the point of the “blade” is directed towards the tail. This is the distinctive marking that gives this breed its name, the Rhodesian Ridgeback. Part of the hound group, this strong and muscular breed is large, with a short tan-coloured coat ideally suited to South Africa, where it was renowned for its hunting skills. With their grand stature and lovely nature, these animals are intensely captivating. As with most breeds, there are some mixed theories about the Rhodesian Ridgeback’s origin. It is thought that when the Dutch, German and Huguenot people immigrated to South Africa in the 16th and 17th centuries, they took with…

RHODESIAN RIDGEBACK

Gail May signalled for Lola, her now-deaf Alsatian Kelpie cross, to lie down on the Persian rug in the lounge. Working hard to maintain a “stiff upper lip”, she watched as the vet shaved Lola’s leg and gave her the injection. The minutes waiting for 12-year-old Lola’s heart to stop were agonising, even though Gail knew the right time had come. Afterwards, she was devastated, but also confused. “My dad had had cancer for a really long time, and when he finally died, I was happy that he was out of pain,” the 58-year-old management consultant explains. “Then when our dog died, I was really sad. I thought how bizarre is that — that I could be happy for a human at peace but not for my dog.” While losing…

Nelson is no ordinary psychologist. This “young man” is a remarkable therapist with an uncanny ability to instil confidence or calm in anyone simply by being present. What makes Nelson so unique is that he has four legs, a wagging tail and plenty of fur to share! “Dogtor” Nelson is a two-year-old Labrador that works as a professional therapy dog at Newcastle Psychology and Health Clinic in Lambton, NSW. He belongs to practice owner and psychologist Dr Paul Spencer, who mainly treats children and adults with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression. Dr Paul says having a “therapy buddy” in the consulting room with clients has been so successful that clients call the practice to make sure Nelson is in before attending. He offers support to people from all walks…

BREED FEATURE: ABYSSININAN It’s not hard to see why people fall in love with Abyssinians. Whether it’s the striking wild cat-like appearance, vivacious nature or protective companionship, this cat is the complete feline package with fans all over the world. The exact origin of the Abyssinian is shrouded in myth and mystery, which many believe add to the cat’s appeal. One of the most popular claims is that an Abyssinian was taken back to England by a British soldier returning from Abyssinia (now known as Ethiopia) in 1868. Others believe the Abyssinian is a direct descendant of the original domesticated cat depicted in ancient Egyptian artefacts. More recently, however, genetic evidence indicates the breed is more likely to have originated from the humid jungles of south-east Asia, particularly along the Indian Ocean…

BREED FEATURE: DARTMOOR PONY This noble pony is strong in stature and gentle in nature, making it an ideal first pony for children to ride. It’s also just the right size for children to easily saddle up, groom and ride. With an easy-going nature, the Dartmoor doesn’t spook easily. It’s also an intelligent and intuitive breed that has proven to be a good all-rounder. A LONG-LIVED BREED The Dartmoor once roamed wild and free in the rugged highlands of Dartmoor in south-west England, which is, of course, where its name came from. Over the years, the breed was influenced by many others including the Arabian, Polo and Hackney. Some historians claim that in 1541, Henry VIII outlawed “nags of small stature” and the breed was almost wiped out. World War II also saw numbers decline…
