Well, we can finally see the actual end of the tunnel. As the vaccination levels continue to rise and get to 90%, which is expected later this month, restrictions will ease for all people, even the unvaccinated. It is expected that by 1st December that all restrictions will be lifted.
To keep in touch with the changing (and the lifting of) restrictions, keep an eye on the NSW government’s web site ‘Road map to easing COVID-19 restrictions’. You can view this information at: https://www.nsw.gov.au/covid-19/easing-covid-19-restrictions
This pandemic has been a great challenge for all of us, one we hopefully never have to face again. We have learned some hard lessons when a disease such as COVID affects the entire world. None of us will escape without some scars. We may have lost some friends and we have learnt to deal with isolation, both for ourselves and our dogs. There will be a generation of dogs (and kids) that will have socialisation issues, which while they may get over most effects, some will have lifelong ongoing issues.
With luck, we should be back to normality and normal events, trials and shows.

They always say that a dog is man’s best friend, but according to Laura Greaves latest book, ‘A Dog’s Best Friend,’ that may not always be the case. Laura writes wonderful, true stories of different breeds of dogs from around the world, all with the most unlikely best friends you could ever imagine: from feathered friends to wild animals. The publishers, Penquin Random House and the author have permitted an extract from one of the stories, the story of Ingo, the Belgian Shepherd (Malinois) and Poldi the Little Owl. I do hope you enjoy it! We also have six copies of the book to give away. Please turn to page 15 for the competition and page 26 for the story extract.
We have a few feature articles this month, the first being The Ultimate Pet Friendly Backyard for Dogs Guide, which offers practical advice and tips for setting up a pet friendly environment for your dog and also ways to keep him safe, enclosed and occupied. The article is written by dailydogstuff.com and includes a table from the Department of Primary Industries Code of Practice, which outlines sizes and floor spaces for enclosures in the backyard. This comprehensive guide commences on page 20.
The second feature article is part one, of a two part series, about barking. Reprinted with permission from Bow Wow Meow Pet Insurance, part one is about understanding why your dog barks, even when they may appear to be no reason. Exploring the many reasons why your dog barks, the feature also lists some breeds of dogs that are more prone to barking than others. To read more please turn to page 8. The second part of this series will appear in the December edition with the title ‘How to Stop your Dog from Barking.’
Thirdly, we have a most interesting article, ‘Calmness or Self Control’ written by Le Hammer, which discusses tips to assist with training over excitable puppies and young dogs. Please turn to page 12.
The spotlight feature this month is the proud and elegant Saluki. Originally from Mesopotamia, the Saluki is one of the oldest dog breeds in the world, with images of the breed having been found on ancient Egyptian tombs that date as far back as 2134 BC. The second fastest dog in the world, the Saluki, can reach speeds of up to 43 miles per hour, a speed recorded in the 1996 edition of the Guinness Book of Records; a legacy from its history of hunting agile gazelles and rabbits. Strikingly beautiful, intelligent and affectionate, the Saluki does like things their own way, which can make training a little challenging. To find out more about the Saluki, please turn to page 16.
Finally, the winners of September’s ‘Fursafe’ Emergency Dog First Aid Kit competition, were Leanne Claridge and Amanda Williamson. Congratulations to both winners!

One of the questions most frequently asked by dog owners is how to stop a dog from barking. Statistics suggest that excessive barking may well be the most significant behavioural issue confronting dog owners, and in Australia, barking is the second most common complaint made to local councils 1.
Continuous and excessive barking can indeed be highly problematic for dog owners and their neighbours alike. It is important to understand that barking is a natural behaviour for dogs. They are social animals who interact with one another, and with us humans, through vocalisations and body language. Dogs have a wide range of vocalisations apart from barking, they whine, growl, howl, whimper, yip and yelp. We cannot expect dogs to be silent when vocalising is part of their nature; however, there is a difference between ‘normal’ and acceptable levels of barking, and continuous, excessive barking that disturbs peace and causes discomfort for those in hearing range.
We know that in the wild, dogs bark to communicate, particularly when they cannot immediately see the rest of the pack, or when they want to get a message entire pack a warning of danger, a call to the hunt or a way to scare off a threat. Domesticated dogs live in a very different world from their wild ancestors, but their instincts and drives remain very much the same. Often, their barking is a perfectly natural canine response to a stimulus in the environment, such as another dog passing by or a stranger knocking on the door. They may also bark when they are exposed to new or unusual stimuli, including sounds, sights or odours, during times of indecision, anxiety, or frustration, and when in pain or discomfort. Some dogs also bark because they are excited and sometimes, they may appear to bark without any obvious reason at all.
Alert barking can occur in response to real threats (for example, a dog or stranger approaching) or to a stimulus (a noise or unfamiliar object) that has startled or excited the dog. Short, sharp and repetitive, the purpose of the alert bark is to call out to his pack or his people to join him in the face of an emergency, much like a siren or an alarm would, thus its intensity is difficult to ignore. The dog may peer out the windows, tilt his head and try to locate the source of the disturbance. Alert barking can happen anywhere, not just at home.
For hundreds of years, humans selected dogs purposely for their ability to alert and it was a highly desirable trait. Nowadays, in many parts of the world, society is very different. High and medium-density urban living doesn’t encourage alert barking anymore, but the genetical roots are deep for this behaviour in the dog.
A threatening bark is sending a territorial warning to let non-pack members know that this is his territory and he’ll do anything in order to protect it. The barking often gets louder and harsher as the threat gets closer, and the dog looks alert and aggressive. This type of barking is common behaviour in the many guard dog breeds. Protective and guarding instincts have been honed over hundreds of years in these breeds, so it is no wonder that they bark at strangers or other animals approaching their homes. Guarding breeds prone to this type of barking include: German Shepherd Dog, Doberman Pinscher, Rottweiler, Bullmastiff, Schnauzer, Boxer, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Akita, Belgian Shepherd (Malinois), Komondor, Cane Corso.
Separation anxiety can occur when a dog who is very attached to his owner is left alone at home. In addition to continual barking, a dog that suffers from separation anxiety may howl, whine, pace intensely and engage in destructive activities such as chewing on furniture, frantic scratching on doors or windows and ripping up pillows or clothing.
The excessive barking and destructive behaviours associated with separation anxiety are an attempt by the dog to relieve his stress, and they typically happen every time the owner leaves, and only in his or her absence. Sometimes, they may begin even before the owner leaves; for example when he or she put on a coat or takes out the car keys. In many cases, however, these behaviours begin soon after the owner leaves and he or she may be unaware just how distressed their dog is and how persistent his barking is, during the periods of absence.
Separation anxiety can occur in response to major changes in the environment; for example, moving to a new house, a family member leaving the home or a new one joining the home, or even a sudden change in schedule. While all breeds can suffer from separation anxiety, some breeds appear to be prone to it, especially the more people-oriented breeds, including Labrador Retriever, Chihuahua, Border Collie. Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Jack Russell Terrier, German Shepherd Dog, Cocker Spaniel, Australian Shepherd, Bichon Frise, Hungarian Vizsla, German Shorthaired Pointer, and Toy Poodle.

Dogs may bark excessively when startled, afraid, uneasy or stressed. Barking is a way of dogs to communicate to the threat to move away, e.g. when dogs bark at an unusual item or person on their walk. Many dogs are frightened during noisy events such as thunderstorms or fireworks and will bark excessively in response.
Barking to communicate feelings of boredom, unhappiness or frustration can occur when the dog is alone at home or confined to the backyard with not much to occupy himself. This behaviour can often be seen in dogs that have been selectively bred for working dog roles, either directly or through their close ancestors, when they are left without a job for long periods at the time.
Dogs are pack animals who enjoy interacting with their humans and/or other dogs. A dog who is howling is thought to be a calling out to those around him that he is alone and desperate for some company. Dogs that are really bored might bark to just entertain themselves; they might not be barking at anything at all, just barking because it’s less boring than doing nothing. Some dogs bark non-stop whenever they are outside, because of a lack of stimulation; barking is their way to release excess energy.
Dogs often bark when they want something, such as to be let into or out of the house or to be fed. They may also bark to get attention from people. Dogs learn quickly that barking at people often makes those people give them what they want, which quickly creates a strong habit of barking to get what they want. This type of barking can be constant and non-stop, causing much frustration for owners and neighbours.
Dogs bark when expressing their excitement, particularly when a family member arrives home, when they are playing, or when they encounter other dogs in their social group. In these situations, barking is a greeting, a happy bark accompanied by a wagging tail and sometimes jumping.
All dogs bark, except perhaps for the Basenji, who are known as the “bark-less dogs of Africa”, although they do vocalise with screams, growls and a canine yodel! Some breeds are more excitable and impulsive than others, and many of these have a strong disposition towards excessive barking. By nature, they are very vocal with their barks, howls and yaps, and even with professional training it may be impossible to get them to stop barking.
Many working dog breeds were bred to bark because of the job they were required to do. From herding, to flushing out game for hunters, to alerting people to danger or the presence of intruders, many breeds such as Beagles, German Shepherd Dogs and Shetland Sheepdogs were bred in part for their barks.
Breeds that tend to bark more than others include:
• Chihuahuas, have a tendency toward yapping, that can be triggered by separation anxiety and potential threats. They are territorial and don’t like others entering their private space, and they get uneasy when someone gets too close to their favourite humans.
• Yorkshire Terriers are also yappers who find it difficult to be silent, even with proper training and plenty of distractions. They are territorial, energetic and highly protective traits which together can lead to almost constant barking.
• Jack Russell Terriers (pictured left) love to bark, and a lot of patience, training and dedication (as well as some good earplugs!) are required from their owners to manage this effectively.
• Other Terrier breeds are also very keen on vocalising: Boston Terrier, Scottish Terrier, Cairn Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Fox Terrier and Australian Silky Terrier are all known to be enthusiastic barkers.
• Basset Hounds have a classic hound howl that can be heard for miles around when they are left alone at home. As tracking dogs, they have been bred to bark when they suspect that something or someone is nearby.
• Miniature Schnauzers are also more likely to bark or yap constantly. They may do so to protect their families and ward off intruders, to assert their dominance or to express their boredom.
• Beagles are generally pretty ‘talkative’ but aren’t usually nuisance barkers unless they are bored or lonely.
• Keeshond are very protective of their families and like to alert bark whenever something is coming their way. If out in the backyard they will bark almost constantly.
• Maltese are a feisty breed who will bark at pretty much anything they encounter, including visitors to your home.
• German Spitz are a vocal breed who often bark loudly and sometimes howl, especially around people they don’t know.
• Schipperkes are often quick to sound the alarm or to bark for entertainment.
• Samoyeds love to bark and have intense, high-pitched barks that can be very annoying for both owners and the neighbours.
• Finnish Spitz are also known as Bark Pointers for a good reason barking is a major part of their hunting activities; it is something they were bred specifically to do.
A more realistic question than this is “how to reduce the incidence, intensity and duration of barking?”. Ideally, in most cases barking should serve to get the dog’s intended message across, then cease. Because there are so many possible underlying reasons for the barking, there is no one simple solution to reduce barking behaviour. Getting your dog to bark less will take time, patience, effort and consistency. Sometimes, your best efforts may not produce the desired result and you may need to engage professional help.

Puppies and young dogs are often over excitable, they tune out from their humans to play their own games or play can be boisterous and inappropriate. Sometimes their nose finds a tempting scent to follow, and there is no way they can hear you calling them.
These pups can be quite good at training, but once that overexcitement is triggered they cannot concentrate and they tune out the rest of the world, especially ignoring anything their family tries in an attempt to attract their attention again.
Wearing them out with more exercise can be a temporary answer, but in the long term, that often gives us a fitter more energetic dog that is even more likely to be boisterous. The solution is to teach these dogs how to calm down, or how to control their own actions They are two different concepts.
Image: Some dogs can concentrate, other are easily distracted.
Calmness: to quote the dictionary means free from agitation or strong emotion.
The very calm pup (or dog) is relaxed he might be lying down, or he may be playing in a relaxed manner. In terms of his body’s physiology adrenalin and cortisol hormone levels in his blood are low. When the dog’s adrenalin levels are low, he is less likely to react in an excited manner to things going on around him. It is easier to attract his attention (eg by calling his name) because all his senses are working with equal acuity.
Calm dogs generally fit better into a family environment. However, staying calm can be difficult for a youngster and some excitable older dogs. There are all sorts of triggers for excitement kids playing, dogs barking nearby or strangers to be barked at. Stress and fearful situations trigger the same hormones, so being left at home alone or being taken out to unfamiliar places will exacerbate the issues of the excitable dog. The hormones associated with excitement are released quickly but they are not metabolised quickly taking up to 6 days to be removed from the body. So if your dog frequently becomes over-excited there will be build up of those hormones which in turn produces stress. It is just not a healthy way to live.
But there are a lot of things we can do to help these dogs return to calmness. Remove the dog from the exciting environment. Talk to him quietly, stroke him calmly, perhaps gain his attention with food or put him somewhere he knows is safe quiet and familiar. Dogs like a den, a crate, a comfy bed. Soothing music might help (Mozart, not AC/DC). Giving them something to chew on also helps reduce those excitement levels.
You can also train a dog not to react as excitedly to his surroundings. Start in a controlled area then introduce something that normally excites your dog, but at a lower intensity. For example, if your dog becomes overexcited around other dogs, take him for a walk in a familiar area but keep him where he can only see dogs in the distance. It may take several months, but you gradually take him closer to the cause of excitement. Because he is more used to the stimulus of the other dogs, he does not find it as exciting, he releases less of the excitement hormones.
There are many such examples dogs that are excited with kids playing, with passers-by and joggers, chasing bicycles, barking at birds, fence chasing... the list goes on. In all of these examples help the dog cope by giving lots of treats with a controlled exposure and only gradually increase the degree of difficulty for the dog to stay calm.
Calming can also be taught to puppies by the breeder, before they go to their new families. When their eyes are still closed there are very mild physical stressors you can use such as holding them (securely) in unusual postures or putting them on a cold floor for 15 seconds. Then place them back with their litter. The mild stress causes the release of small amounts of stress hormones and the pup’s nervous system “practices” how to deal with them, their biochemical pathways “learn” how to more efficiently metabolise those hormones.
As pups are just starting to interact with litter mates they can get a bit over the top. Just hold an over excited pup firmly, stroke him, talk quietly to him until he calms down.
When pups are with their new family they should learn to sleep happily in a crate or small pen. Let them learn that this is a safe place for quiet time, to relax and unwind. Giving them something to chew on will help them wind down. Chewing and eating are associated with reduced adrenalin.
We do, however, want our pups to have some fun and excitement in their life, like a hoon with their friends or chasing a ball. So we have to teach our dogs to be able to stay tuned in to us, even when fun things are happening around them.
Image: Hooning: great exercise for some, but over-exciting for others.
A pup, or dog, with self control is able to concentrate on a “task” (usually something the trainer has asked the dog to do) with lots of distractions around. A naturally calmer dog does not need as much self control impulse control is easier to train. A high drive, very excitable dog needs more training to help him control his impulses, his desire to play his own games.
For dog sports competitors, especially sports like agility, retrieving or flyball, many handlers prefer their dogs to be high drive, or running at high adrenalin levels. These dogs need a lot of training in self control to help them concentrate on what their trainer wants, even with their high levels of adrenalin.
Sometimes families find they have accepted one of these high drive dogs into their family, and because they love their dog they find themselves getting very frustrated. More exercise works for a while, but the young dog just becomes fitter and more boisterous. Do not despair. Appropriate training, appropriate exercise, along with giving the dog some sort of “employment” and ways to calm down will give you a great companion.
As we said before, calmer lower drive dogs are not calm all the time. Playing with friends down at the park can escalate to over excitement, or if some wild life suddenly runs under his nose a chase might follow, or your dog might be seen taking off into the distance following an irresistible scent. You want to be able to intervene by attracting his attention.
Therefore it is a good idea to teach all dogs to have self control, sometimes referred to as impulse control. This training starts by teaching the dog a skill in a low distraction environment. You may need to join a training club or see a dog trainer to learn the best way to teach these skills using positive reinforcement. This article would be 10 pages long if we explained all of that.
Image: A sniffing expedition helps reduce hormone levels - great for a high drive dog.
Is there a difference? Which is better? How do we train them?
A basic example is teaching the dog to stay on a mat. Initially there are no distractions. Once the dog can reliably stay on their mat then take your mat and your dog out to train in different locations. Set up situations where there are mild distractions like passers by at a distance, a friend bouncing a ball nearby, a controlled dog (eg on lead) walking nearby. Continue with the training, gradually increasing the excitement in the environment. If you ramp up the excitement too quickly, your dog may learn to tune out and just focus on the exciting environment. Your rewards have to be high grade fantastic food, a game, something that is going to be more fun than the potential distractions you will be competing with in the future.
Train several skills and build up games with your dogs, but each new skill should first be learnt with no distractions then add in the distractions. With impulse control your dog should have the skill to check in with you if the unexpected happens and you suddenly have an overexcited companion. You can call your dog back when kids run past, when a kangaroo appears from nowhere or if they see a duck in a nearby pond.
Creating a calmer environment will also help all dogs act calmly and reduce their stress levels. Remember, the reduction of excitement hormones from a dog’s blood may take up to 6 days, it takes quite a while for the dog to truly calm down.
Moderate exercise will help reduce “excitement” hormones in their system. Give them a job which usually means give them some training. This will help tire their brains so the dog will find it easier to relax. A play-date with friends (so long as they do not wind each other up too much); enriching their environment with toys and puzzles, even something as simple as scattering their food or hiding food in boxes will help dogs reduce their adrenalin and cortisol levels and I have already mentioned a safe quiet area to relax such as a crate or a pen. Chewing on things, and a chance to investigate different smells is like “doggy yoga” and of course, cuddling on the lounge with you is great for calming down both the dogs and the humans.

Author and animal lover Laura Greaves returns with a collection of uplifting stories of dogs and their unlikely friends – a testament to the life-changing power of friendship.
Humans and dogs have been best friends for over 20,000 years but around the world, dogs are building bonds with feathered, furred and even finned pals.
Dogs like Golden Retriever Henrik, with his feathered friend, Aurora the cockatiel, (see pictured below) who serenades Henrik daily, perched on his head. There is also Benton the Great Pyrenees, who can’t get enough of Boone, a mobility-impaired racoon; and Yiddle the Chihuahua, whose big best mate is Kevin, a llama.
In ‘A Dog’s Best Friend’, Laura Greaves introduces inseparable buddies for whom species is no barrier to unconditional love. They may be unusual pairings but they are as deep, true and devoted as any human twosome. These uplifting stories of dogs and their unlikely mates are living proof of the life-changing power of friendship.

One of the oldest dog breeds in the world, the proud and noble Saluki is originally from Mesopotamia. The breed belongs to the gazehound family, hunting game by sight rather than smell.
Known as the ancient hunting hound of the Middle East, the Saluki was an indispensable hunting companion to nomadic Bedouin tribes.
Egyptian tombs and Assyrian temples depict the Saluki as early as 5000 BC. Excavations of the ancient Sumerian Empire suggest this breed has remained physically unchanged in appearance for possibly 7,000 years.
The Saluki doesn’t have a single country of origin, as it was found throughout Iran, Iraq, Turkey and the Arabian Peninsula. The breed was introduced to Europe in the 12th century by troops returning from the Crusades.
As an archetype gazehound, the Saluki must possess the characteristics that allow it to perform its original function. Variation is a key trait in this breed and its characteristics will depend on the type of terrain and quarry it was bred for. The ideal Saluki has a deep chest, fine waist, low hocks, broad hindquarters, a bladed bone and hare-like feet. There are both smooth and feathered varieties of the Saluki, judged together as one breed.
The breed must move with efficiency and speed, exhibiting more of a gallop rather than a trot. Its speed is phenomenal. Once it starts to walk and gain speed, its paws appear to never touch the ground a legacy from its history of hunting agile gazelles and rabbits.
It should appear effortless, light, smooth, lifting and flowing, showing both reach and drive. Viewed from front or rear, the breed’s limbs converge to a centre line of travel, but do not single track at a slow trot. Front and rear extension must be balanced, with no side stepping, crossing or interfering. Gait should be evaluated at a moderate pace. The head is carried elegantly, forward from the vertical, creating a graceful, flowing line from nose to tail.
Strikingly beautiful, intelligent and affectionate, the Saluki will rule the roost if given half a chance. It’s hard to go past the breed’s feathered or smooth coat. The breed can sometimes be described as aloof and arrogant, which can make Obedience training a challenge patience is paramount. It really enjoys Agility, if it can be on its terms.
The Saluki is an elegant endurance hound with functional athleticism. Almost alone among the breeds, Salukis vary enormously in type and each type is correct.
From the smallest to the biggest, and almost square to longer than tall, each type complies with the general appearance without exaggeration or coarseness. The key word for this breed is moderate; if any feature stands out there is something out of balance. Feathering can be profuse or fairly sparse. The smooth variety has no guard hairs and any colour or combination is permissible.
Height should average 58-71cm, bitches proportionately smaller.
The Saluki is a short-coated breed. It requires bathing just the same as other short-coated pets and the feathered Saluki needs a pin brush regularly to detangle the knots around the ears, backs of the legs and tail.
A daily walk or run is essential, but if there are other dogs in the family it will quite often exercise itself with other dogs. A fully fenced backyard is recommended as the Saluki can jump quite high.
In general, the Saluki is a healthy dog, but hypothyroidism may affect the breed at times.
There may also be a little thinning of the hair on the buttocks in some dogs. The primary health concern of a Saluki, as with as with other sighthounds, is its sensitivity to certain anaesthetic agents. Some anaesthetic agents rely on body fat to dissipate the drug. In breeds with little fat storage, these types of anaesthetic agents tend to take longer to dissipate, resulting in difficulty for the Saluki to wake up.
Overall, the Saluki is sound in health and has an average life expectancy of approximately 12 to 14 years.
Whether you are looking to add a Saluki or other breed to your family, it’s always wise to purchase a puppy from an ethical registered breeder who tests their breeding stock for any health problems.

Having some free time in the backyard can do your canine companion some good. Even the most pampered indoor pooch appreciates some untethered time outside. Dogs need a bit of freedom to exercise and play to their heart’s content!
Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need tons of empty space just for your dog. Many feel that you can either have a dog or a pristine backyard, but not both. Well, we’re here to tell you that it’s possible to have your cake and eat it, too!
Whether you have a large backyard or a small garden area, there’s no reason why your outdoor space can’t efficiently serve both you and your furry friend. All it takes is a bit of careful planning.
Not sure where to start? We have you covered. Here’s a guide to creating the ultimate dog-friendly backyard!
One of the biggest issues homeowners have with letting their dogs frolic in the backyard is the mess they leave behind. There’s no way to prevent your dog from doing its business. But, there are some ways that you can prevent those messes from becoming too much to handle.
If you want to create an inviting outdoor space, the best thing you can do is pick up their waste and dispose of it properly. Sure, you can go the old-fashioned route with a doggy bag. However, more refined and messfree alternatives exist.
Dog waste disposal systems act as mini septic tanks. Drop the waste inside, add a bit of activator, and the waste will absorb back into the earth. It keeps faeces from stinking up your outdoor space, plus, those nutrients could end up improving the health of the soil and grass in the long-run!
Speaking of grass, you may want to consider upgrading to artificial grass. Ever notice yellow stains developing on your grass after your dog does its thing? Dog urine and grass just don’t mix! The high nitrogen content burns the grass, resulting in unsightly stains spotting your yard. Regular watering and proper irrigation will prevent your grass from turning brown.
However, the best way to prevent all of that is to use artificial grass for dogs. Artificial grass does not react to urine in the same way as real grass. It’s easy to maintain and feels like the real thing. Your dog will be none the wiser!
On top of all that, you can cut back on your ongoing yard maintenance costs!
Many dog owners like to create “dog zones” in their yards with clever landscaping. You can’t always guarantee that your dog will relieve itself at the same spot every time. However, landscaping can encourage them to keep waste away from areas you want to enjoy with your family.
Hardscaping with rocks, large decking, and decorative borders do a fantastic job of telling your dog to, “Keep Off!” Throw in a little pheromone spray on those “dog zones” and your pooch will have a better idea of where to do their business.
Ever spot behaviour. Sometimes, it’s it’s usually
Pesticides
us keep our yards looking healthy and staying pest-free. Unfortunately, those chemical treatments can number on your dog’s health.
Consuming chemical-ridden grass poses some serious health concerns. So, you have to plan for that behaviour. Even if your dog isn’t known to eat grass, they may try a sample at some point. Plus, their delicate paws can interact with the chemicals and experience burns.
It’s best to lay off the fertilisers and pesticides. There are some great all-natural alternatives out there. They come with the same benefits but hold off on the unwanted side-effects and possible poisoning!
You can also use careful landscaping to address any yard problems you might experience. Keeping your yard clean and debris-free may help to keep pests at bay. Meanwhile, regular watering and proper irrigation will prevent your grass from turning brown.
Any alternative to chemicals is a better choice than turning your backyard into a danger zone for your dog.
An information site to visit for poisons in general: Australian Animal Poisons Helpline | A Specialist Service For Poisoned Pets. 2.
* Please seek immediate veterinary care if you do suspect your dog has ingested any chemicals or unknown substance, as the situation can soon become life threatening.
The most important step in creating a dog-safe yard is to install some containment measures. Dogs are naturally curious creatures. During their daily “paw patrols,” they can encounter an enticing smell or see something beyond the confines of your yard that draws them close.
The last thing you want to deal with is a dog on the run! Not only does a lack of proper containment put your dog at risk, but you may also experience fines and trouble from neighbours and local councils. Needless to say, avoiding all of that is a must.
The most obvious option is to install a fence. In most cases, a tall fence is more than enough to keep your dog within the boundaries of your yard. Plus, it’ll block their view to ensure that they don’t get too excited by something they see and attempt to go through. Check with your local council regarding fence heights and restrictions.
The current Dept of Primary Industries Code of Practice allows for varying enclosure sizes which is based on the height of your dog. 3.

No matter where you live, your dogs will need some shelter from the elements. For dogs that live outside, a high-quality dog house is a must, however, even those that only spend several hours outside will need some form of shelter, too.
Large doghouses made of wood or metal are great for large breeds or multi-dog households. They provide plenty of room to lounge and get some shelter from the afternoon heat.
Smaller dogs can get by with pint-sized dog houses or temporary shelters that don’t take up too much room. Set them up in the shade and your pooch will be good to go!
During the warmer months, your pup will need a home that’s designed to provide good airflow and cooling capabilities. Summer dog houses usually feature windows to improve air circulation, light-coloured roofs to avoid heat build-up and raised floors.
Meanwhile, winter dog houses are the complete opposite. They are sporting thick, insulated walls that can block out the frigid cold. If your dog is staying outside during the winter, you also need to learn how to heat a dog house 4. Luckily, doing so is pretty easy with the right tools and know-how.
Don’t make the mistake of thinking that your dog can do without proper shelter. Canines can get overheated very quickly in the summer and can suffer from hypothermia 5. in the winter. A good dog house or temporary shelter unit will provide all the protection they need.
What if you have a super-determined dog, or are unable to install a fence that’s tall enough to keep your dog in?
In those cases, you’re going to need to do a little extra work to stop your pup from going under or above your fence.
Many dogs are natural-born diggers. They do it for fun or to escape the summer heat, so burrowing a tunnel is no big deal to them! As a result, you’ll have to learn how to stop your dog from digging under your fence. 6.
There are plenty of great training techniques to put a stop to that behaviour. However, you can also utilise deterrents or install physical barriers that complements your fence.
For example, planting shrubs around the fence line or installing landscaping rocks can do the trick. Some more permanent methods involving simple underground barriers are available, too (see pictured).
Learning how to stop your dog from jumping the fence is important, too. Luckily, a lot of the same training and landscaping tactics apply for a jump-crazy dog and fences heights should be increased accordingly.
It’s not just chemicals you have to worry about! Your backyard is likely teeming with life. Unless you want to turn your garden into a concrete jungle, there’s no way around that.
While all that lush life and natural landscaping are beautiful, there could be some hidden dangers for your dog lurking around every corner!
Believe it or not, there are tons of insects out there that will interact with your dog. All of the same pests that you have to deal with could cause some discomfort or pain for your dog. The biggest dangers are ants, fleas, ticks, wasps and bees. Ants can crawl all over your dog’s body and cause itchy lesions. Oftentimes, they focus on the paws where they have easy access to the skin. Get rid of any visible ant piles and do your best to prevent future infestations. That involves keeping your yard clean and free of any food.
Fleas are the most notorious canine pests. In most cases, fleas make their way to your yard through small fur-covered animals. Stray cats are common carriers. Once they get into your yard, they can live and breed in the grass until your dog comes by and becomes their new host. Treat your yard and your dog periodically to avoid flea infestations 7.
As for bee and wasp stings 8 , the trick is to limit your dog’s contact! Bees are beneficial to the garden. This is especially true if you have flowering plants. Consider keeping those plants in a raised planter or area or movable pot. You can also plan your garden beds to where your dog cannot get access.
Snake bites are particularly dangerous for dogs, particularly during the summer. Canines don’t know any better. They see something new and exciting, so they’ll often gallop head-first towards a snake!
Needless to say, snake bites from Australia’s venomous species like the Eastern Brown (pictured right), Tiger, Southern Death Adder, Red-bellied Black and Coastal and Inland Taipan snakes, are the biggest worry. If your dog gets bitten by one of these, you need to act fast and seek veterinary care immediately.
That said, non-venomous snakes can do damage, too. Bites can be painful and can quickly lead to infection.
To prevent snakes from calling your backyard home, keep your yard clean. Snakes like to live in brush and dry debris. Keeping your yard well-maintained often forces snakes to look elsewhere to live.
“Paralysis ticks can kill affected dogs within 3-6 days of contact. Ticks like to crawl to the top of long grass and low scrubs, and will attach to the coats of animals as they brush past. About 80-90% of ticks are found around the head, neck and shoulder regions. Ticks do not have a separate head, only a mouth piece. Where they are attached to the skin, there is an allergic reaction to the tick saliva, resulting in a crater.
Ticks prefer to live in thick, overgrown areas, so if you live in a known tick area, keep the grass very short and check your dog daily during the tick periods of the year. Ticks prefer humidity and warmth, so the ideal times for ticks are spring through to autumn. Particularly be on the lookout for ticks in the 7-10 days after rain or during periods of high humidity.
Very early signs of tick bites are easily missed, but if you are living in a tick area, you should be alert to any change in the dog’s habits. Signs are incoordination of the hindquarters, weakness of the hind legs, husky cough and loss of voice, loss of appetite and a rapid respiration rate. Treatment involves removal of the tick, however, seek further veterinary advice if symptoms persist.” 9.
Finally, you need to think about toxic plants. Most don’t realise this, but many common landscaping plants contain toxic flowers or berries. Acorns and seed pods from oak trees and sweetgum trees cause serious digestive troubles if they are consumed by your dog. The same goes for Sago palms (pictured), oleander flowers, wisteria, hydrangeas, and so much more! Do your research and keep any potentially poisonous plants away from your back yard!

Of course, you can’t forget about the activities! Installing some fun activities for your dog to enjoy will make your backyard into the ultimate play space! They give your dog ways to stay entertained, helping you avoid any bad behaviours that could ruin your lawn!
To enjoy time with your dog, consider some exercise toys or obstacle course units! Something as simple as a ramp or tunnel is more than enough to suffice. You can teach your pooch some new skills while making sure that they get all the exercise they need.
For those hot summer days, dog pools 11. are a great option! There are many great dog pools on the market these days. From temporary pools that take minutes to set up, to permanent in-ground models that provide years of fun, a pool is a great way to help your furry friend cool off and have some fun!
If you want to give your dog a way to have fun on their own, automatic ball launchers 12. are the way to go (see pictured right). Set up the launcher to throw the ball across the yard safely! With some proper training, your dog will quickly learn how to relaunch the ball on its own. They stay happy and active!
Dogs thrive when they can enjoy some time outside! Despite what you might have heard, you and your dog can co-exist in the backyard. A bit of planning will ensure that it’s a space that everyone in your family can enjoy!
Use these tips and turn your yard into the ultimate canine oasis. Take some time to make it safe and your dog will spend years enjoying the space with you.

Laura Greaves returns with a collection of uplifting stories of dogs and their unlikely friends a testament to the life-changing power of friendship.
Humans and dogs have been best friends for over 20,000 years but around the world, dogs are building bonds with feathered, furred and even finned pals. In ‘A Dog’s Best Friend’, Laura Greaves introduces inseparable buddies for whom species is no barrier to unconditional love. They may be unusual pairings but they are as deep, true and devoted as any human twosome. These uplifting stories of dogs and their unlikely mates are living proof of the life-changing power of friendship.
Please see below an extract from one of Laura Greaves stories of uncommon but heart-warming canine friendships.
Everyone knows a dog that collects pals the way he collects grotty tennis balls: enthusiastically and as often as possible. But some dogs aren’t so keen on mingling. For some, this aloofness is a hallmark of their breed: once upon a time, their very survival would have depended on their ability to go it alone. But for others, it’s simply their preference. They’re choosy about whom they grace with their presence, much less their affection.
Ingo the Belgian Malinois is this kind of dog: independent, a little stand-offish, content to do his own thing. Which makes his heartfelt friendship with an owl called Poldi all the more remarkable.
Ingo and his owner are polar opposites. German-born Tanja has been an animal lover since birth, and has always gone out of her way to befriend all creatures great and small.
A keen falconer, she was soon caring for injured birds and stray wildlife at her home, rehabilitating birds that could be returned to the wild and providing lifelong sanctuary for those that could not.
Poldi was with Tanja from when he was about five months old. Poldi was always small, but had a mighty personality. He was even named after an infamously short and sassy person: Poldi is short for Napoleon.
‘He always stood there like Napoleon. All that was missing was a hand stuck in his feathers at the front,’ Tanja says, laughing.
Apparently Ingo and Poldi didn’t receive the memo that explained they would never be friends. Tanja certainly never planned to bring the pair together and went to great lengths to separate them, ensuring doors were kept closed whenever they were roaming freely so that they couldn’t wander into each other’s designated spaces.
But some souls are just destined to be together. Their connection was instant. From that moment on, Ingo the Belgian Malinois and Poldi the little owl were inseparable. Ingo rarely let Poldi out of his sight, while Poldi would seek out the protection of his doggy defender any time he felt frightened or sensed danger.

Laura Greaves’ book,
Dog’s Best Friend.”
“ I challenge you to think of these heartwarming interspecies friendships not as weird or unlikely, but as evidence that embracing difference is every bit as wonderful as celebrating similarity.
If more of us sought to befriend those who appear to be different from ourselves, we might learn that we are all more alike than we ever imagined. If we all followed the example set by dogs, the world would be a friendlier place.” - Laura Greaves
