4 BEHAVIOURS EVERY DOG SHOULD KNOW
5 your dog will “wait” in the back seat instead of bolting out the car door brings peace of mind as well as safety. Release – Teaching your dog a set release cue gives you a way to end a stay, sit or wait. Polite Greetings – Teaching your dog to greet other people and animals with “four on the floor” prevents accidental scratches and falls from excitable jumping and pawing, particularly if children visit often. THE 10 IMPORTANT BEHAVIOURS. ALL DOGS SHOULD KNOW! Today, we’re sharing with you our top pics for the behaviours and skills that all dogs should know! Loose leash walking – Loose leash walking is an important safety skill for dogs and humans alike. Loose leash walking not only makes the afternoon stroll more relaxing, but safer. A sudden leash pull can knock a human (especially a senior or child) off-balance while constant straining against a collar can cause tracheal injury in canine companions. “Leave it!” – Leaving an item alone is a vital skill. Whether it is a dropped piece of medication or an abandoned food container on a walk, a well-learned “leave it” command can help prevent Fido from gobbling up a dangerous snack. Recall – Coming when called, first time and every time, has rescued many a dog from a dangerous situation. Recall commands can call dogs away from traffic, prevent them from approaching unfriendly dogs or create distance between yourdog and other potential hazards. “Sit!” – Sitting is a classic skill that serves as a foundation to build other skills. In addition to being a foundational skill, sitting can be a useful behaviour because it is incompatible with other undesirable behaviours, making it a great alternative behaviour to reward! “Drop it!” – Sometimes, despite our best efforts, Fido gets ahold of something dangerous or inappropriate. Teaching a “drop it” skill provides you with a safe way to retrieve an item from your dog. One important note: when teaching behaviours like “leave it” or “drop it”, keep it fun for your dog by ‘trading up’ for a more desirable treat when the drop it or leave it behaviour is performed. Focus or “watch me” – Key to teaching many other skills, the ability to focus is something many dogs need to practice. Teaching your dog name attention and focus will help them respond better to other commands. “Stay!” – Much like recall behaviours, learning to “stay” is an important skill for every dog to learn. The “stay” command can also help to keep a dog away from dangerous situations or can buy you extra time to evaluate a situation before acting. “Wait!” – Similar to stay, this command can be very useful at corners when you need to look for traffic or when unloading out of a car into a parking lot.

12 OF THE OWNER ? WHY DOG ARE SO PROTECTIVE
13 Dogs are more than just cuddly companions — research continues to show that pets bring real health benefits to their owners. Having a dog around can lead to lower levels of stress for both adults and kids. They’ve been found to decrease the risk of asthma in children and have been linked to lower blood pressure. And researchers have also shown that dog owners are more active than those who don’t own dogs, packing in more steps per day on their walks or just regular playtime. Last month, a study showed that older dog owners take 2,760 more steps per day on average compared to non-owners, which amounted to an additional 23 daily minutes of moderate exercise. Now, a new study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health shows how enduring that phenomenon is: dog owners are also significantly more active during the winter. Researchers from University of East Anglia (UEA) and the Center for Diet and Activity Research at the University of Cambridge used data from the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition Norfolk cohort, and they focused their study on 3,123 participants between the ages of 49 and 91. Nearly 20% of those participants owned a dog, and they all wore an accelerometer for seven days to track their movements. Have a pet of your own? Check out PetHero to discover how you can save 25% on your vet bills. The researchers found that the the people who didn’t own a dog were sedentary for about 30 more minutes a day on average than those who walked their dogs. Everyone who participated in the study was less active on shorter days, colder days and days with more precipitation. But the researchers discovered that, even during days with bad weather, dog walkers were more active than non-dog walkers were on the nicest days. “We were amazed to find that dog walkers were on average more physically active and spent less time sitting on the coldest, wettest, and darkest days than non-dog owners were on long, sunny, and warm summer days,” project lead Andy Jones, a UEA professor, said in a press release. Dog walkers got in an average 12 more minutes of activity on the wettest days, for example, than those who don’t own dogs got on the driest days. Overall on the driest days, dog walkers were sedentary for an average of 632 minutes, compared to non-dog owners’ 661 minutes. Jones said this finding could have important implications about how to motivate people to stay active as they age. Read More: Almost a Third of Older Adults Don’t Move Enough “Physical activity interventions typically try and support people to be active by focussing on the benefits to themselves, but dog walking is also driven by the needs of the animal,” Jones said in the release. “Being driven by something other than our own needs might be a really potent motivator and we need to find ways of tapping into it when designing exercise interventions in the future.” WHY
