Pampered pooches pile in for purposeful obedience training

Wow, what a start to the new training year… more than 25 new members and fur babies: welcome.

Summer is still here for a few more weeks and we all know that we can have hot weather into March/April. The biggest threats to your dog whenever the weather is warm are dehydration or heatstroke.

Being dehydrated can make your dog very sick and can quickly become life-threatening. Acting fast may reverse any damage.

So, what are the important signs to look for?

Extreme lethargy; sunken, dry eyes; dry nose and gums; excessive panting; loss of appetite.
