The Other Coast by Adrian Raeside for April 21, 2023

I knew that had to be a rule.

When our dog at the time went outside. If it was raining mom would be at the door with a towel.

Shaking off the water inside helps keep the outside dryer. I thought my dogs to shake their body. After I take their rain gear off (all long hair dogs) we head inside and they line up for the towel. Yip yip yip yip yip

We had a dog that would stand in the rain trying to shake off the water.

We train all our dogs to “shake” with the shower curtain closed after baths. Just make sure to give them firm footing on the shower floor.

And make sure there’s a human standing right beside you!

And thereby soak everything else.

To really make your human scream, also walk through a mud puddle, before you come into the house!

So ….. That’s how they learn that …… :)

Interesting fact I learned from my carpet cleaners. Water from a pool looks like urine under a black light. So, since my dog shakes inside, the house would light up under a black light! Hard for a dog (male or female) to pee as high as eight feet. LOL

Well duh, it’s still wet outside.
