Today I would like to share a little reminder of the 5 Freedoms Animal Welfare Act and combined it with a book recommendation and a great article by Mark Bekoff. The welfare of an animal includes its physical and mental state and we consider that good animal welfare implies both fitness and a sense of well-being. Any animal kept by man, must at least, be protected from... unnecessary suffering. 1. Freedom from Hunger and Thirst by ready access to fresh water and diet to maintain health and vigor. 2. Freedom from Discomfort by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area. 3. Freedom from Pain, Injury or Disease by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment. 4. Freedom to Express Normal Behavior by providing sufficient space, proper facilities and company of the animal’s own kind. 5. Freedom from Fear and Distress by ensuring conditions and treatment which avoid mental suffering.

I love Science Sunday

Two years of hard work paid off - finally I got the first letter added to my signature: Bianca Steinmetz CPDT-KA Thank you Chris Oliver for all your continued support, wouldn’t have been able to study that much without your help and thank you to all the pups who’ve taught me so much and keep teaching me.

Happy Thursday

Excellent article Worth your time!

Happy soggy Monday

I am always thriving to stay up to date on the latest research and studies and to keep my coaching methods relevant.

Some of us like the rain... others not so much lol

Excellent article ! https://rescuedbytraining.com/2020/10/26/decompression/

When to spay and neuter a dog is a big decision so maybe this recent study will help you puppy parents to make a more informed decision. https://www.frontiersin.org//10.3389/fvets.2020.00388/full

Teen Manners Class prep

Ready for puppy class to begin... outdoors, masks mandatory for hoomans and more than 6 ft apart

This is an excellent book with lots of photos to help us all understand our four-legged companions body language. It is one of the best new releases, easy to understand and invaluable for the content it shares. #Amazon

Today I'm sharing the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behaviors position statements on punishment and dominance theory. Have a look, it explains in a detailed yet short way how training has changed :-) https://avsab.org//Punishment-Position-Statement_bleeds-10 https://avsab.org//Dominance_Position_Statement_download-1
