Most of us are willing to spend money to keep our dogs healthy, comfortable and happy. If we are told that something might give our dogs longer, healthier lives, we pay attention. If we are told that something we are currently doing might actually be harming them, we pay even more attention. Advertisers know this. There is nothing wrong with companies advertising pet products, and there is certainly nothing wrong with buying things...]]></description><link>https://wcshibasociety.wixsite.com/my-site-2/post/when-pet-advertising-uses-our-love-for-our-dogs-against-us</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a9f4872df4adcfdc6dc0ac9</guid><pubDate>Mon, 07 Sep 2026 23:44:39 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/01f4c4_863af6d853fe4458ab3c6a07d4d24a8e~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>wcshibarescue</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resource Security]]></title><description><![CDATA[Helping Dogs Feel Safe About the Things They Value Dogs value things. Food, chews, toys, beds, favourite resting places, acc ess to spaces, and even attention from people can all be important resources. We often hear about resource guarding when a dog growls, freezes, blocks access, snaps, or otherwise tries to protect something valuable. But resource guarding is the behaviour we see. We think it can be more helpful to start with a different question: Does this dog feel secure about their...]]></description><link>https://wcshibasociety.wixsite.com/my-site-2/post/resource-security</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a95cf3d36df210911ba0312</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Aug 2026 19:18:23 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/01f4c4_94465bb27bad4b3cbb173fee9003b26c~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>wcshibarescue</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is Your Dog Overtired? Sometimes the Answer Isn't More Exercise—It's More Sleep.]]></title><description><![CDATA[One of the most common pieces of advice people hear when their dog is hyper, mouthy, rough during play, destructive, or "won't settle" is: "They just need more exercise." Sometimes that's true. Many dogs genuinely need more opportunities to walk, sniff, explore, play, and use their brains. Physical exercise and mental enrichment are essential for a dog's wellbeing. But there is another possibility that is surprisingly common and often overlooked: Your dog may simply be overtired.

They loved her but weren't prepared for her houdini ways. She escaped soon after her arrival and proved very difficult to catch. The community cared for her from afar, offering food and kindness whenever she’d allow it. Finally, after this little girl being on the loose for more than eight months, someone put out a call for help within the shiba Facebook community.
