Paws Explores Hike and Seek

Paws Explores Hike and Seek - May 28

Paws Explores returns with a new Hike and Seek Adventure for Melbourne dog lovers.

This one is a "trails for treats" adventure with your dogs, which will be held on Sunday 28th May in the stunning You Yangs Regional Park near Little River (VIC).

This is also a charity event to help support Edgar's Mission and The Fred Hollows Foundation.

Not only will you have a great day adventuring and experiencing nature at the beautiful You Yangs Regional Park but you'll also meet some new like-minded friends and receive a doggie bag full of goodies at the finish line.

You're welcome to bring your own food and drinks for after the event to sit, relax and have a picnic to enjoy the views.

The actual hike can be as long or short as you want it to be. You'll be given a map and some clues to seek what needs to be found. You will have three hours to choose your path and be back before time runs out at the finish line!

This is a family-friendly event and the walk is suitable for people of all ages and fitness levels and all pet breeds are welcome. Please remember that you accept responsibility for yourself and your pet, who will need to be with you the whole time on a lead.

* If you do not have a pet, or your pet is unavailable, you're welcome to come as a family or group of friends! Every little bit helps (as with all these events) and all proceeds are divided between both charities.

Don't "paws" as there are limited tickets remaining for this event!

Made Easy Family Car Travel with Dog Car Travel

To make dog car travel easy get your dog used to riding in the car by taking him on short trips to start. If you get your dog as a puppy and anticipate it going in the car with you at all, start taking the dog with you in the car early in its life so he recognizes this as routine. The earlier a dog begins riding in the car, the faster they will learn how to behave on a trip. Some dogs get car sickness. If your dog is one who experiences this talk to your vet. Like medications that can help people avoid getting sick in the car, there are medications to help dogs with this situation. If your dog is very upset, very sick or very nervous while riding in the car you will want to travel with your dog as little as possible. The safest method to transport your dog is in a pet crate. Also available are harnesses and seat belts to secure your dog while traveling, but most dog owners train the dog to sit on a seat and ride. Your dog may move from seat to seat, but do not e

Simon is grumpy but sweet, Henri is always happy and sees the silver lining in every day, while Garfunkel loves to be the centre of attention.” “For many years it’s been just a hobby but the popularity of my family po

Excessive Dog Barking: Tips & Advice

Barking is a common, frustrating problem for many dog owners. It can cause anything from mild annoyance to neighbourly disputes to formal disciplinary council action. In addition to being hugely stressful to owners, nuisance barking is potentially very dangerous for the dog. Barking can sadly lead to harsh unnecessary punishment, erosion of the human-animal bond and a higher risk of surrender and premature euthanasia. In some extreme cases, barking can lead to dogs being maliciously poisoned. For all these reasons, barking is an issue warranting solid understanding and appropriate intervention.
