A wise trainer once said: Stop the fuse, not the explosion. I completely agree with Sean O’shea
It is always a good idea to be proactive and educated; that way, we can avoid incidents. But which signals should I be looking for in my dog? I was taught a basic set of signals to start with from another one of my mentors; Ted Efthymiadis told me to start by looking for the following:
- Your dog starts scanning, looking for trouble, the moment they step out of the door,
- Ears and eyes are pointed to the target; they are fixated on a sound and movement for longer than 5 seconds,
- The tail is high; this usually is the ‘speedometer’ that indicates the ‘arousal level’ of your dog – where their attention goes, the energy flows,
- Escalated breathing, as the dog’s body is getting ready for action, it needs more oxygen,
- Hackles are up, this is like goosebumps for humans, we get it based on fear or anticipation of something exhilarating about to happen.

Thank you, what is your opinion on this blog’s subject?
I plan on starting a blog and would eventually like to bring in ad revenue, should I start out on a free website or should I buy a domain?.
I would say that starting with a free website would be a good start.
