​We love sharing information – sometimes it’s small tidbits and other times its big juicy chunks of info, and every now and again it might be something as simple as a meme to make your smile. We hope you enjoy our blog – which is mostly dog focused but can occasionally be distracted.​

Your emotions and your pooch.

We all love our dogs and for some of us, leaving them at a boarding facility can be very scary.
Sadly, we can sometimes pass this fear and nervousness onto our dog and make the situation worse than it needs to be.

One of the most common things we hear at Dogs Country Club is, ‘my dog is a rescue dog and I’m worried if I leave them they will think they’re being dumped again,' or 'they'll think I'm not coming back.'

Luckily, this is not the case. Regardless of your dog’s previous experiences they don’t compare circumstances. When a dog comes to stay at Dog’s Country Club they are pampered with their every need met, even though you are not around dog’s are very easy to keep happy and as long as their needs are met, they have no reason to stress or be anxious.

Dog’s feed off our energy, that’s why it’s common for dog’s to act differently on leash when with their owners and they will react to the energy around them. If you are nervous or upset when leaving your dog (whether is be at the vet, groomers, boarding kennel etc) the best thing you can for them is to be positive whilst they’re around. You will notice a difference straight away, keep everything quick and easy. By showing them you are nervous you are giving them something to worry about, when in fact it’s a perfectly save situation. Once they are out of sight and you have separated yourself from your dog then you can let your emotions out.
Learning your dog’s body language can be very helpful too. For example, seeing a dog shaking can mean a number in the dog world though most of us see this as nervous behavior, this can actually be your dog’s way of showing excitement!
Dog’s do not have a concept of time like us humans do. We understand each new day though dog’s have a completely different routine, they nap throughout the day there for don’t understand when a new day starts or ends. This is why your dog will react the same to you when you pick them up from a long term holiday just as they would if you gone to the shops for milk and bread.

Making new situations positive is healthy for everyone involved and makes everything easier. It’s best to expose your dog to new situations and sounds from a young age and make sure your confident during the whole experience. You will find later in life that you and your doggy will able to share in great things together and enjoy lots of new things in life.
