We Need To Knead Our Dogs! 2007-08-22 12:29:00 Most of us have had a nice, relaxing therapeutic massage at least one time in our lives, I would guess. If you have, then you will agree that it relaxes muscle tension, relieves stress, and just makes you feel good. For more than 120 years, research in massage therapy has been ongoing. However, no one needs to do a study to determine that animals benefit from massage the same way humans do.Not only will a pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic massage relieve our stress, it will help your anxiety filled pooch relax too. Dogs actually do have stress, believe it or not. Many owners have found out the hard way that their pooch has separation anxiety, probably after returning home to what looks like a "war zone". Thunderstorms are another trigger, but a dog with temperament problems would surely gain from a rub down, especially if it comes from "their human".Dogs can get strained and sore muscles for a number of reasons, but often it is result of inactivity due to injury, illness, age or obe
Dog sense- How to give your dog freedom 2007-08-22 12:28:00 I am a professional dog trainer. As such I have a very specific way that I view dogs and how I think about dog training. I refer to this as my 'dog-sense'. When I encounter new clients I discover them with varying degrees of dog-sense. It is my responsibility as a trainer to inculcate as much dog-sense into my clients as possible.Throughout my years of training I have found that the majority of dog owners lack dog-sense in one key and critical area. If dog owners everywhere were able to improve in this area it could very well put me out of a job.Dogs have dozens of natural instincts. A great deal of these instincts act out in contrary to what the average dog owner wants. Dogs instinctively pee on rugs, jump on newcomers, bark at things, and chew on whatever feels comfortable.It remains the responsibility of the dog owner to mold every dog behavior. It is your responsibility to determine how your puppy or dog interacts with your sofa, with your rug, with your guest, with your child, a
Resident Dog Meets Latest Four-Footed Family Member. 2007-08-22 12:27:00 Even though dogs are very sociable creatures, introducing a new puppy or dog to the resident pup in charge, can be problematic at times. Not all dogs are receptive to having a new critter taking some of the attention away from them. You will need to prepare your house for the new arrival before you bring them home. Put the dog toys, bones, food bowls and beds away, whether you have ever seen the resident dog show jealousy when they are around another dog before or not. This is easily accomplished and will help make things go more smoothly.To avoid any territorial issues, it is best not to bring the new dog or puppy to your house or yard for that first introduction. Take them to a neutral area and keep both dogs on a leash. Ask a friend or a family member to go along so each one of you has control of one dog. Let them be dogs & sniff each other. They may bark or growl a bit or try to climb on top of each other, just keep an eye on them and try not to intercede until you see some type of Read more:Family

Dog Training 2007-08-22 12:26:00 There are different meanings of the term "training." It is necessary to understand this fact before deciding what you need to do with your dog. Given below are some distinctions:First of all, there is the "Behavior training - Dog behavior training involves teaching life skills, such as preventing aggression problems, and how to properly interact with others and the environment without undue stress.." This is a training in which a dog is taught to be a "good citizen." This includes house training, good behavior around people and other dogs, leash manners and other things that make your dog a much more pleasant companion to be with.Next is "Obedience training - Obedience training is one of the best things you can do for your dog or puppy and yourself. Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem.," which is teaching your dog how to do be obedient. This can include traditional exercises such as heeling. The emphasis h Read more:Dog Training

Finding The Right Dog Bed Deodorizers 2007-08-22 12:24:00 After a long and tiring day at the office, how would you like to be greeted by your beloved pet's refuse all over its bed? The mere thought of it can be disgusting.But admit it or not, you may have been in the same situation as with other pet owners. You see, no matter how hard you try, you sometimes can't prevent this horrible scenario from happening, more so if you have a senior dog who suffers from incontinence. You may have tried preventive measures of all sorts - putting a towel on your dog's bed, training it to go outside the house to relieve itself, and many other tricks - to no avail. But despite these rigorous efforts, dogs still relieve themselves whenever they feel the strong urge to do so. Here is where dog bed deodorizers will save your day from foul odor.Every sensible pet owner should definitely have one of these grooming and hygienic aides. Since stinking dog beds are common among households with pets, dog owners really shouldn't be caught dead without one. As such, Read more:Right
For The Love Of Dogs 2007-08-22 12:23:00 Dogs and humans have been together for centuries. Why are we such pals? Dogs dig, bark, lick, steal burgers from the grill, get fleas, worms, ticks. Dogs have to be trained to do their business outside and then it has to be cleaned up. They have to be fed, bathed, brushed, walked, played with and watered. Dogs need attention, a veterinarian and must be cared for when you go on vacation or away for the night or a weekend.Through all this, the human/dog bond is stronger than ever. Its estimated people are spending over $2 billion a year on their family pets and this number increases yearly. Some say within the next 5 years people will spend in excess of $8 billion a year on their furry family members without blinking an eye. Those that pamper their pets are an example to all of how to say "thank you" to man's best friend.A well cared for dog will do anything to protect their human pack. Recently, a Chihuahua took on a rattlesnake to protect one of its family members and nearly lost its
Keep Your Dog Safe In Hot Weather 2007-08-22 12:22:00 Reading this article could save your dog's life. Summertime brings longer days, warmer temperatures and a need for safety. Whether you live in the far north, the deep south, the coast or the desert, the more you know about hot weather dog safety, the better.For example, at temperatures of 50, 60 or even 70 degrees Fahrenheit (depending on humidity levels) leaving your dog in the car can turn into a fatality. Dog heat stroke happens fast. Many places have laws about leaving an animal unattended in a vehicle and the places that don't, should.Think about it! If it's 70 degrees, humidity is moderate (heat index is 80-85 degrees) but all the car windows are rolled up with a 1-3" opening, the car is in the direct sun, or even the shade, and you're leaving your dog in the car for more than 5 minutes. Could this be a problem? Maybe it's 80 or 90 degrees Fahrenheit (heat index of nearly 100 degrees) and you leave your dog in the car.Take a moment and ask yourself, is this safe? Ask yoursel
Motivating your dog in training 2007-08-22 12:21:00 Knowing how to motivate your dog in training is an important concept. Your dog must want to follow commands and participate in training. There is a fine line between rewarding your dog and motivating your dog and the sooner you learn how to make the difference the better a trainer you will become.Motivating
your dog is creating an environment where the dog has a desire to participate. When trainers learn how to motivate they usually learn to take it one step beyond. They create an environment where the dog actively tries to figure out what the trainer what him to perform.There are 4 methods to motivate your dog.1. Using food; 2. Using toys or prey items; 3. Using praise; 4. Using force (corrections).A trainer will learn how to mix and match these methods depending on the dog, the circumstances, the dog's level of training and the trainer's level of expertise. Keep in mind that some of these methods will work with some dogs in a particular circumstance while other methods may not infl
Dog Barking Sounds - How to Translate Your Dog's Bark 2007-08-22 12:20:00 Dog barking sounds don't mean a lot to many people. For the most part, they are simply acknowledged as a sort of vocal exercises done by dogs, and those who aren't fond of these animals may even consider barking dogs a loud disturbance. However, they are much more than that. Dog barking sounds are actually a basic method of communication for dogs.Apart from that, there hasn't been a detailed explanation or better understanding as to why dogs bark and how they have managed to grow so different from their ancestor, the wolf. The latter also barks occasionally, but wolves in general much prefer howling as a way to communicate. This is a far cry from dogs, who appear to have a fondness for barking as often and as loudly as possible! Yet dogs share this fondness for barking with wolf cubs. This fact--along with many other similar physical features they share with dogs, as well as habits like the tendency to be submissive--has led experts to theorize on neoteny. Neoteny is a condition whe Read more:Barking

Dog Food Recalls - Coping with Life-Threatening Dog Foods 2007-08-22 12:20:00 One of the biggest news that broke out in March was the dog food recalls that took place. This major occurrence caused a lot of panic among dog owners, who then stampeded to their veterinarians hoping to learn more about the issue. People learned more about the problem and as it turned out, even cat food have to be taken off store shelves. The dog food recalls are certainly a big problem; here's some information to enlighten you and your pet.This issue came to light when it was observed that many dogs and cats exhibited symptoms of kidney failure, such as sluggishness and nausea, as well as drinking frequently and urinating more often than usual.These took place around the time when one of the largest makers of dog and cat food in America, switched to a different supplier of their pet food ingredients. Since then, the company recalled almost 100 brands of their pet foods.It was found that the gravy-thickener, wheat gluten, imported from China, contained the chemical melamine, which is Read more:Coping

Are Portuguese Water Dogs Hypoallergenic? 2007-08-22 12:14:00 Portuguese Water Dogs have short hair that does not shed and is considered a working dog, meaning that it is a breed that needs to stay busy.

How to Stop Your Dog Digging 2007-08-22 12:13:00 In this article I hope to help you learn how to stop your dog digging. Or at least to stop him digging where you do not want him to! Like your rose garden or in the middle of the lawn. First things first, you need to find out why he is digging.The major problem here is probably boredom. Most dogs either dig because they are bored or trying to escape. As always you should set aside some time each day to play with your dog and take him for a walk. You would be pretty bored too if you spent all day locked up in the same yard day in day out.If you can, set aside a place where your dog is allowed to have a dig. A disused sandbox would be ideal or even make him a sandbox of his own. You can train him by burying his favorite ball or toy just below the surface and then letting him dig it up. Praise him for digging in his special place.If you come home from work and find a hole there is no point yelling at your dog, he will have no idea what he is in trouble for since he probably dug the hole h
How To Teach Your Dog To Heel 2007-08-22 12:13:00 In this article I will show you how easy it is to teach your dog to walk to heel. I will also share my secret training weapon.Have you experienced this? You are out walking your dog and passers by laugh and say, "Are you taking your dog for a walk or is he taking you?" I am going to teach you how simple it is to train your dog to walk at heel and you will never be "dragged" up the street again.First, my secret weapon. Hotdogs. I'm serious. Buy some skinless hotdogs and chop them up into approximately 5mm cubes. Place a single layer on paper towel and cook in the microwave for about 30 seconds to dry them out a bit. As the power of microwaves varies, you will have to experiment to see how long you need to leave them cooking. I can hear it now, how unhealthy, but it is only a small amount and not for long periods of time. My dog hates the hard liver treats and with the hotdog I think she would have done cartwheels if I had asked her!Put the hotdog pieces into a plastic bag, put on a jac
How To Stop Your Dog Whining 2007-08-22 12:12:00 Of all the annoying habits your dog can have, whining would have to be one of the most annoying. I put it way up there above barking. The constant whining noises can really start to get to you over time. In this article I hope to explain some of the reasons dogs whine and give you some useful tips on how to stop your dog whining.Start training your dog to stop whining as young as possible. You can train older dogs but it may take a little longer.It helps to understand why your dog whines. It could be that your dog is upset, lonely, scared or in pain.Sudden onset of whining could be due to ill health.If this is the case, a trip to the vet for a check up would be a good idea.If your dog is whining because you are away, known as separation anxiety, get them used to their area. Spend some time with your dog in the dog's area, around their kennel or crate, and then start leaving your dog for short periods of time and gradually increasing the time they are left alone. Sometimes a firm no wh
Reading Your Dog like a Book 2007-08-22 12:11:00 If your dog were a book, it would be a book in cartoon format. Dogs are simple creatures - which do not mean they are simple-minded. They can only concentrate on one thing at a time. Short-term memory is so limited, that they do not know what the fuss is about if you try to punish them for something they did even a short time ago - such as mess up the lounge.Although every dog is different and personalities among our canine friends almost as varied as among our human ones, there are certain signals which mean the same whichever dog is "saying" them. Learn to read them to avoid misunderstandings with your faithful friend. If your dog is looking at something, he is thinking about it. When looking at the door, for example, he is thinking about going out. When looking at the bin, he's thinking about a tasty morsel inside and whether he can get at it. By interpreting this simple body language, you can reward behaviours you wish to encourage - and filter out the rest.Dogs are first and fore Read more:Reading
Should You Get a New Puppy or an Adult Dog? 2007-08-22 12:10:00 One of the main considerations in dog ownership is choosing the correct breed to suit your lifestyle. Another aspect of dog selection that is widely overlooked is whether you should get a young puppy or adult dog. Both options offer different rewards and you should take the time to make the best decision.On the whole, most dog owners believe that bringing up a puppy is an advantage because this means that you guide its growth and well being. You have the ability to raise it according to what you want. This means you can ensure that it is properly nurtured with the right dog food, the necessary vaccinations given and heartworm prevention done properly at this early stage. You can choose to train your puppy the right way from the start, giving him no chance to develop undesirable behaviors.A puppy can easily adjust to new surroundings as compared to an adult dog even though most puppies may cause some damage to your personal stuff while they are in the stage of teething. They need to be Read more:Adult

Dog Training - Teaching Rover to Heel! 2007-08-22 12:10:00 There is nothing more exasperating to watch (or get in the way of) than an untrained dog on a leash moving along a crowded sidewalk. He crisscrosses in front of the dog-walker, trips people, and lunges his way through traffic. He's a pest and a peril.Once you've taught your pup to heel, walking with him will be a pleasure. When he's mastered the lesson, the pup will walk close to your left side, his head on a line from your left foot. And whenever you stop, the pup should automatically drop into a sitting position without a command.Heeling is taught on the leash. Start from the sit-stay position, but first give the pup a warm-up by running him through the three commands he's already learned.When the pup is warmed up and ready to go, put him into the sit-stay position on your left side. Hold the leash in your right hand, letting the leash loop toward the ground. Your left hand should grasp the leash halfway between the dog and your right hand, giving you a corrective hold when neede Read more:Dog Training

Dog Training - Teaching Rover to Come! 2007-08-22 12:09:00 Most of the time the pup will come when you call him. Notice we said most of the time. That is not enough. You want him to come every time you call him, not when he feels like it or expects something.You cannot consider your dog properly trained unless he instantly obeys your command to come. There must be no hesitation on his part; come means come.In addition to wanting to please you, the pup also wants to come to you. In fact, it's all he can do to restrain himself from dashing over to you. Fine. This makes a good place to start. Later, you will want him to come from any position and place.Before starting the "Come" lesson, give the pup a warm-up. Run him through the sit-stay a few times to get him into the spirit of the lessons.Next, give him the command or hand signal to sit, follow it with stay, then move off about twenty feet. Now, give the sharp, clear command "Come!" (or use his name), at the same time slapping your knees as you bend over.If the pup dawdles or bolts away for a Read more:Dog Training

ed to sit at your command is a natural step. The combination of sit-stay is one that will help keep your dog out of trouble or possibly save his life. See that he learns it.Even though the pup can now sit without being restrained on the leash, snap on the leash while you are teaching him to stay. This will be a more difficult lesson, for the pup will want to move or race after you.Hold the leash short in your left hand, give him the command or signal to sit, then follow with the command "Stay!" Show him the hand signal: palm of the right hand raised toward him. Keep repeating the command "Stay!" and at the same time emphasize the command by pushing your palm at the dog.After the pup is staying (even though you are still very close to him), you can advance the lesson. Back away a few steps, give the command and hand signal, and hold him in position with the leash.Remember, the further away you move, the more eager the pup will be to go to you.

Dog Training - Teaching Rover to Sit! 2007-08-22 12:04:00 Teach your pup to sit as his first lesson. There are several good reasons why you should start with this command. First, sitting comes naturally to dogs since they often sit to rest. Two, teaching the pup to sit is relatively easy, a lesson that he will learn very quickly. Three, you will find the sit position an excellent base or jump-off spot from which to launch the other commands.When your puppy is sitting, he is quiet and under control. The sit position is akin to the five basic foot positions of the ballet dancer. From the five positions, the ballet dancer can execute any number of steps or combinations, from an entre chat to a capriole.The sit position has practical applications, it is not just a trick. When walking the pup, you will find the sit useful at intersections, when meeting a friend, and in various other situations where you want the dog to be quiet and under control.Start the lesson with the pup on the leash. You can place him on your left side; later he'll be walkin Read more:Dog Training

Working Dogs 2007-08-22 12:03:00 The term 'work like a dog' is true. Dogs can work in many different jobs. Their most common job is to bring joy to lonely people, families and children. In most cases, these working dogs are paid in love. Here are a few examples of working dogs.Farm DogsWhen you hear the phrase 'working dogs' you think of farm dogs. These are the original working dogs. They have a natural instinct for working livestock and herding sheep. My Corgi loved rounding up the lawnmower and vacuum cleaner.Dog breeds that are associated with this type of working dog are:Welsh Collie, Border Collie, Shetland Sheepdog, Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Cardigan Welsh Corgi. The Australian Kelpie originated from the old British working Collie. The Australian Cattledog is also known as Blue Heeler, Red Heeler and Queensland Heeler.The use of motorcycles instead of working dogs on a property has become more popular but nothing can replace a trained working dog.Guard DogsPeople think that their dog is a guard dog because he b

Again, just like you, your dog has special needs. Puppies need different nutrition than older, less active dogs. If your dog is pregnant, they need special nutrition. And of course if your dog is a big dog, they need more food than a little pooch.Imagine a whole room full of dogs.Each one will have special needs, just like people have special needs when it comes to nutrition.But dogs have a coat of fur that needs to maintain it's shine, and toe nails and teeth that have special needs.While table scraps will get your dog full, it's not likely that table scraps will meet your dog's nutriti
Steps For Dog Grooming Your Dog 2007-09-18 12:04:00 Your dog's health is going to be dependent on you; not only what you feed your dog, but also on your dog care. There are many things that are considered part of your dog's care, but the main item you should concentrate on is the grooming. There are many reasons for grooming your dog. First you want to remove the dirt, dead hair, and prevent matting of their fur. Second you want to bond with your dog. Every dog needs some type of grooming care. It will depend a little on the dog as to how much grooming they are going to need. For example the Akita has natural oils in their coat that protect them, giving them baths can hurt the coat and weaken their immunity; therefore it is important to only bathe them when they really need it. Other dogs need to be bathed at least once a month. The following are going to be a few tips for dog grooming and care.You should start grooming your dog as a puppy.

Dog Training Problems - Sending Your Dog The Wrong Message 2007-09-18 11:58:00 The number are staggering. Each year thousands of dogs are simply abandoned because their owners easily gave up on them. The reason for this phenomenon is simple. Some pet owners simply can't teach or control their pets. They blame "bad pet behavior" as their reason for taking their pets to the pound or worse, just dropping them of on some strange street. Sadly, these dogs are often euthanized in the pound because of over population.It seems miscommunication plays a vital role in the increasing number of deaths in dogs cause by behavioral problems. Since it is easier to teach a dog a wrong behavior, most dog owners tend to accomplish this feat. They usually impose punishment improperly and do not make an effort to correct the wrong behavior of their pets. Sadly, proper training and positive reinforcement can address this kind of problem.The most effective way of teaching a dog proper behavior is knowing how to correct their wrong behavior. There are two ways to correct the wrong behav Read more:Dog Training
