Are you having trouble walking your dog on the leash? You’re not alone. Lots of people have dogs that sniff or mark practically everything they walk by. Sometimes it feels like your dog is walking you!

If your daily walks are turning into a tug of war between you and your dog, these tips may come in handy.

Add structure into your walks

Doing things like changing pace, direction, and route will mentally engage your dog and keep him or her reacting to what you do next.

Limit the amount of slack for more control

This is a good idea especially at the beginning of a walk, when you want to establish who’s in charge.

Incorporate training into the walk

During your walks, make opportunities to use Sit, Wait, Stay, and Leave It commands. It’s good practice, good for engagement between you and your dog, and a good opportunity for praise (and treats!).

Give yourself goals

For example, every third house you pass, incorporate a Sit command. The next day, change it to a different command. It keeps the experience fresh and different. If they are cooperating and being good on the leash, give them some time to sniff around!

Dog walking takes discipline. But by filling walks with fun challenges, you’ll find that you can get more exercise done in shorter distances and in less time. There’s nothing better than a tired, happy, healthy dog!

Thousands of dog owners search for how to stop a dog from jumping up on people, doors, tables, fences, furniture, etc. You’re not alone! Greeting behaviour, door charging and jumping up are all common dog behaviour problems that a little patience and training can help overcome. As a company that has worked with over 3,000,000 pets, Invisible Fence® Brand has solutions to train your dog to stop jumping.

Keep reading to learn why dogs jump and how to prevent the behaviour with training tips, toys and dog barriers.

Why Do Dogs Jump?

In all the excitement of a new arrival, it’s common for dogs to charge the front door or jump on visitors when they enter the house. Many dogs jump to get your attention. Knowing why your dog jumps is an important first step to training your dog to stop jumping on people.

Training Tips to Stop My Dog from Jumping on People

There are several training methods to prevent your dog from jumping on people. Regardless of which approach you take, remember teaching your dog not to jump takes patience and practice.

Some of the more common tips to prevent your dog from jumping on people at the door often include:
  • Rewarding good behavior
  • Teaching your dog to sit and stay
  • Withholding attention
  • Putting your dog on a leash
  • Crate training your dog
  • Moving your dog to another room

Toys to Stop My Dog from Jumping on People

More specifically, if you have a dog that likes to jump up on people as they enter your home, you can also try keeping your dog occupied with some toys. Providing your dog with a toy like the Busy Buddy® Chamomile-Scented Calming Toys will keep your dog engaged when visitors arrive. We like this approach because it allows you to practice with your dog, while still giving them independence to play.

Barriers to Stop My Dog from Jumping on People

Physical barriers, like baby gates, are another way to stop your dog from jumping up. The downside to physical barriers is that they are an eyesore and a hassle for humans to climb over. Invisible® barriers, like the Shields® Gate or Indoor Shields® Solutions, give you the best of both worlds. You can use these to train your dog to stop jumping up, while still letting you and your guests roam the halls (and doorways) seamlessly.

Invisible Fence Brand of Saskatchewan Tips About How to Keep Your Dog From Roaming

31. May 2023 Admin Saskatoon Vets & Pets, Trusted Tips

Invisible Fence® Brand systems Saskatchewan are invisible boundary systems for your yard and home! It keeps your pet out of harm's way and prevents unwanted behaviours throughout your home and yard. The systems are safe, humane, and highly recommended by Veterinarians, Behaviorists, and pet experts. Over the last 45 years, they have helped more than two million pets and their owners lead safe and harmonious lives together, and their exclusive training program allows dogs and cats to learn their boundaries without fear, distress, or behavioural harm. Invisible Fence Saskatchewan is your Trusted Saskatoon Pet fencing solution expert!  



Many pet owners struggle with keeping their farm dogs from roaming. Although outdoor or farm dogs are often used to protect property, keeping them from running off too far can be difficult. We put together our top tips on how to keep your dog from roaming.


Why is my dog roaming?

Before trying to change your pet’s behaviour, it is important to understand why that behaviour occurs. Dogs can chase and roam for a variety of reasons. Many farm and outdoor dogs are bred to be working animals that protect their herd or property. For these dogs, picking up a scent can cause them to investigate further than the owner may like. Dogs can also roam when they are looking for a mate.


Ways to prevent your dog from Roaming

There are several different methods to keep your dog from roaming to prevent them from getting lost. In some cases, using a traditional fence around your farm or large property can keep your dog from chasing predators too far off your property.

Another solution is Invisible Fence® Brand’s GPS Wireless Containment. Our GPS satellite technology is the most advanced Invisible® pet fence on the market with options to customize boundaries in the size and shape you choose. There’s no maximum yard size; however, GPS Wireless Containment is best suited for properties that are 5 acres or more in size, making it the best dog fence for farms and acreage. Our certified trainers teach your pet his boundaries without fear or confusion, so you can be confident your dog will stay within the boundaries you set.

Keeping your dog from chasing after predators doesn’t have to be a difficult task. Since 1973 Invisible Fence® Brand’s innovative solutions, industry-leading training and expertise have given more than 3 million pets newfound independence and security - while also instilling confidence in their owners.

Solange of Invisible Fence Brand of Saskatchewan Answers the Question - Do Your Collars 'Shock'?

26. Sep 2018 Admin Saskatoon Vets & Pets, Trusted Tips

Invisible Fence® Brand systems Saskatchewan are invisible boundary systems for your yard and home! It keeps your pet out of harm's way and prevents unwanted behaviours throughout your home and yard. The systems are safe, humane, and highly recommended by Veterinarians, Behaviorists, and pet experts. Over the last 45 years, they have helped more than two million pets and their owners lead safe and harmonious lives together, and their exclusive training program allows dogs and cats to learn their boundaries without fear, distress, or behavioural harm. Invisible Fence Saskatchewan is your Trusted Saskatoon Pet fencing solution expert!  


Do Invisible Fence Collars 'Shock'?


This great photo below,  of a dog choosing not to "cross the line" of their invisible fence, despite some tempting moose in the yard, prompted this question on social media: 
"So would it have gotten a shock if it crossed the line?"





















Solange, the owner of Invisible Fence® Brand systems Saskatchewan, answered: 


"It does not give them a shock. It is a sensation that they just don’t like. It is kind of like a 
chalkboard to us. It doesn’t hurt us to scratch our nails down a chalkboard, but we sure as heck won’t do it because we cannot stand the feeling of it. So think of their boundary as their chalkboard. Even if I had to turn a dog's collar up onto the highest setting because he was that stubborn, the greatest amount of static in his collar is no more than when you drag your feet across the carpet. But a rate of vibration is added into it creating that sensation that they just don’t like. When we begin the training with your pets, it is on a low rate of vibration only which you and I cannot even feel in our hands.

I always put the collar in the owner's hand so that they can feel what they are feeling. You will look at me and tell me you don’t feel anything. And that is the point. You will watch me teach your dog to learn and understand what and where his boundaries are in a setting that you and I cannot even feel. Eventually, his collar settings will change in order to keep him within his boundaries should he be tempted to leave. But that is not done until he gets to know his boundary and which way to turn at his boundary 100%. We let him make all the mistakes while learning in a setting that we cannot feel. This way, they have a full understanding of their boundary before their settings are put to a containment level designed for each and every dog individually. Their containment settings will be customized based on their breed, size, age, and personality. Perhaps one of your dogs is timid and the other one is the opposite. Then their collars will be set very differently. The training will be done differently as well."

Solange Continued...

"This is one of the many reasons that makes us so different from anything else out there. Because we have the ability to set the collar on a low rate of vibration only allowing the dog to learn. Dogs thrive on their training. They love to learn new things. So when they get to learn something that is only making them aware but not startling or scaring them at all. Research has been done with invisible fence brand products where researchers and veterinarians hooked dogs up to machines that measured their heart rates and stress levels. Not one single dog was ever under any kind of stress or duress while going through the training. Because it is done in such a kind and gentle way. This is why animal behaviourists and veterinarians support invisible fence brand products and the training. The training was designed by animal behaviourists specifically to go with our systems. Thank you for asking this question. I hope that this was helpful. You can call me anytime and I can explain further."

  2. Warm up with short trips before the long trip to get them used to travel.
  3. Feed your pet a few hours before you leave, and not during travel.
  4. Never leave your animal alone/unattended in a vehicle especially in warm weather.
  5. Have your pets traveling kit ready, including water, bowls, medication (if needed) as well as an emergency kit with bandages.
  6. Make sure your pet has a microchip or some form of identification.
  7. Keep their head inside the vehicle while driving and be sure windows are closed enough so the pet cannot escape.
  8. Bring your pets vaccination and medical records.
  9. Bring your own water!
  10. Consider getting easy to clean seat and floor covers for your convenience.

Giardia




Are you or your pet at risk of Giardia infection? Giardia is a protozoan parasitic infection. Although there are various sources of contamination, one of the most common for our pets is drinking from untreated contaminated creeks, lakes or rivers. Once infected the most common symptom is acute, (or intermittent and can potentially be chronic if left untreated) smelly, frothy, mucousy diarrhea. This parasite can be transferred to humans. So, if you and your pet have recently been in areas at risk and symptoms occur, it is best to be seen by your veterinarian and/or physician. 


Do You Know Where You're Going?



 



When traveling with our furry family members we often forget to check to see if the environment is safe for them to travel with us. Some things like heartworm are much more prevalent in hotter climates. This is a parasite that you can prevent your pet from getting as long as they are treated prior to exposure. How high is the risk for Lyme disease from ticks where you’re going? Possibly having them vaccinated beforehand would help but know ahead of time is the key. If traveling abroad, will your pet be allowed into the country? If not properly vaccinated and dewormed with specific regulations your pet could be quarantined or not permitted to enter.


Every country has its own rules and restrictions in regards to what a pet needs to be able to accompany you. You can start to sniff out all the answers by clicking here. The government site will also direct you to the correct people you need to contact if you cannot find all the answers you are looking for.
