How do I keep my dog hydrated during the summer months in Florida?

With Florida being one of the hottest states in the US it is crucial to make sure that your dog is always hydrated. Much as you would like for any human.

Some good tips for this are:
1) Make sure your dog always has plenty of cool water sitting outside for it. 2) When letting the dog out be sure that the dog has a place to sit under shade if he/she chooses.3) Do not let your dog run around outside for more than 30 minutes to 1 hour at a time.

In addition to these helpful tips, some good times to let the dog out are early in the morning (dawn) and between 6pm and 8pm (dusk). These times are good for the dog because it is not too hot and humid. Although, if you need to let your dog out between these times make sure that it is not any longer than 30 minutes at a time and follow the above tips.

Welcome!

Welcome!

My name is Lucas and my partner's name is Joel. Just to tell a little bit about us, Joel has been training dogs for 27 years. He started in France where he grew up and came to the states about 7 years ago and has brought his knowledge here to continue his journey of dog training. He does all types of training, from obedience and family protection to the french ring sport competition. We practice the "sit, stay, come", jumping, nipping, chewing, running away, doing business in the house, not listening,and more. So, do you think your dog is trouble? Think you have tried everything? Well no need to fret because there is no problem that we can not fix.Visit our website at elitedogcenter.com for more information, or join in on the conversation here at our blog.
