PAWS thanks our fellow resident for sharing info on the Yellow Dog project - originating in the U.K. – now with a worldwide following to help all of us appreciate the unique and varied needs of canines and how best to approach them in our daily lives (https://www. akcpetinsurance.com/blog/the-yellow-dog-project). Don't judge the dog (or their family member) if they NEED SPACE. Dogs, like humans, have individual preferences and personalities. Some dogs may need space for various reasons, including: Fear or anxiety: Some dogs may be fearful or nervous in certain situations or around unfamiliar people or other animals. They may feel more comfortable and less stressed when given space to observe their surroundings and approach new situations at their own pace. Past trauma or negative experiences: Dogs who have experienced trauma or negative interactions in the past may require space to feel safe and secure. Giving them the opportunity to retreat or avoid potential triggers can help them build confidence and reduce anxiety. Reactive behavior: Dogs that display reactive behavior may need space to prevent escalating situations. Giving them distance from potential triggers or stressful stimuli can help prevent confrontations and ensure the safety of both the dog and those around them. Old age, medical conditions or pain: Older dogs or dogs with certain medical conditions or chronic pain may prefer or require space to alleviate discomfort. They may be more sensitive to touch or movement, and giving them space can help them feel more comfortable. Training or ongoing behavior modication: Dogs undergoing training or behavior modification programs may need space to focus and concentrate. It allows them to process and absorb information without distractions, helping them learn and adjust their behavior more effectively. Join us for our next meeting on June 5 at 11 am in the Multipurpose Room. We'd love to hear from you via email at paws4seasons@gmail. com for any questions or thoughts for our club's vision and goals. We are focused on the health and wellness of our beloved pets AND maintaining positive relationships within our Four Seasons community and beyond! 18 | Four Seasons Hemet Herald | MAY 2025 | PAWS Skipper &BooBoo Ellingworth, "did someone say 'steak'?"
