The Adventures Of Logan…

26 May

It is a quiet weekend at The Hydrant so we took Logan out for a nice long walk to check out some new areas of the city.

This is a good spot for a nap, the grass is so soft…zzzzzzz….

Vintage hydrant, it looks like it’s seen better days.

Checking out some cool street art in one of the side alleys.

We both liked this church, and there is a big park right across the street.

We made it all the way down College St. to Little Italy, Logan got to check out Piazza Johnny Lombardi.

We stopped off for a refuel at Ella’s Uncle and then made our way back home.

Stay tuned for more adventures of Logan!

Psssst .. He Can’t Hear You – Understanding A Deaf Dog

16 Apr

Understanding your dog and knowing how to control him, develop his potentials, and resolve behavior problems, emotional conflicts and frustrations are no less essential than love and respect.
- Michael W. Fox

Hugo, the little deaf French Bulldog with Logan.

Meet Hugo! He’s the first little deaf dog we’ve had stay with us at The Hydrant. While we’ve had quite a few aging dogs that are losing there hearing, but he’s the first born this way. His stay here, has taught me a lot about different training techniques, specifically using hand motions. I’m so used to using different noises & sounds to get the dogs to do what I want, the moment you take away sound, creativity comes into play! At first I had no idea where to start, but after a quick internet search I knew my plan for the week …..

The first few days was getting Hugo’s attention. Eye contact. After all, once you’ve got a dogs’ eye contact they’re waiting. Waiting for your next move …

He’s not super food motivated, so I had to find a really special something he loved. I figured out quickly that was freeze dried sardines (YUM!) AND tug toys!

These are some very useful links I found, and thought i’d share –

Deafdogs.org – full of great info, including recommend hand signals you can use.

Deafness In Dogs – Why does this happen? Hand signals and tips for training.

Typical Friday night at The Hydrant.

Snow Day!

8 Feb

As you already know we are having a bit of a snow day here in Toronto. Walking dogs can be challenging in this weather so the crew hasn’t had a chance to get out too much today. To cheer the dogs up we wanted to make a special dinner for Brooklyn, Timmy, Owen & Olive (and Logan too!).
