4 Common Dog Behavior Problems

Dogs are adorable creatures. According to studies, dogs are excellent pets because they can help reduce stress and they can lower your risks for high blood pressure. That is one good reason dogs are adopted in hospitals and nursing homes for pet rehabilitation. But then, dogs are not perfect. Even the most praiseworthy dog breeds have their share of temper and behavior problems. If you are a dog owner, it is just logical that you know the different behavior problems common in dogs.

Destructive Chewing
It is common for dogs to chew. However, if the chewing becomes destructive and the dog starts to rip, shred and utterly destroy household materials and fixtures it becomes a dog behavior problem. Imagine coming home and seeing your whole sofa set torn apart? How about wearing the same shirt every day because most of your clothes have holes because of dog bites? Dog owners solve such dilemma by giving their dogs a special chewing toy. These days, there are so many exciting dog toys that you can give your pet. Choose from a wide array of rawhide, marrow bones, and snack balls. Also, it is best that you dog-proof your home by moving destructive items like wires and power cords out of your dog's reach.
Biting
Based on experiment, biting is a common friendly play between animals. However, it is not a healthy puppy play with his owner. Moreover, owners should determine the cause of the biting problem. It can result from pain, fear and territorial instincts. Learning the root of the problem is vital to ensure that the right care and interventions are given to your dog. As not to worsen the problem, proper training, socialization and breeding practices are to be taught at a young age.
Digging
Dogs love to dig. For certain, you have seen a film or an animation of a dog digging for a dry bone. Digging is a natural dog activity. Digging becomes a problem when your dog becomes a destructive digger, completely destroying your garden, plants and other things growing in your backyard. If your pet loves to dig you can provide his own digging pit. It is almost the same as the regular sand box. You can take a couple of his favorite dog toys. Observe your dog. Every time he gets close to your plants and flowers, be firm and warn him by saying 'Stop.' If he stays away, commend your dog or give him some treats.
Aggression
Dogs like man can become aggressive from time to time. Dog hostility is characterized by gnawing of teeth, growling and snarling. An aggressive dog can also bite a person or an animal. There are multiple reasons for dog hostility. One is because they are in deep pain. Two is because they feel unprotected and threatened. Three is because they are abused. If your dog has aggressive tendencies, you need to talk to your dog's vet. The vet can give you a couple of tips on how to approach your dog. You may want to hire an experienced dog trainer as well. It is crucial to address this problem right away because it is dangerous for your dog to interact with other people and animals if they are aggressive.
Above are some of the most common behavior problems that dogs can have. These problems can cause an owner to give up their pet and leave the dog in care of shelters. Identifying the problem immediately can help solve the issue. Be patient and do not lose hope because your dog relies on you.

Is chocolate safe for dogs?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 02 May 2011 05:30:00 +0000

by Sandra
You might want to agree to this question, reminiscing the time when your dog enjoyed a bite of chocolate with no adverse effect at all.
Well, Chocolate is harmful for dogs, but the effect varies according to amount and type of chocolate eaten; and the age and weight of your dog.
In fact, poisoning of dogs by chocolate is not as uncommon as you might think.

Why is Chocolate Harmful for Dogs?
Chocolates have a chemical stimulant similar to caffeine in them. It's called theobromine. According to the experts, theobromine is toxic to a dog when it is ingested between 100 and 150 milligrams per kilogram of body weight.
The percentage of Theobromine differs widely in each type of Chocolate. Puppies are especially vulnerable to theobromine poisoning because they can't eliminate caffeine from the bloodstream nearly as quickly as adults.
In humans, theobromine results in frequent urination and affects the central nervous system as well as heart muscle.
What are the Symptoms of Theobromine Poisoning in dogs?
Within the first few hours, the symptoms include vomiting, diarrhea or hyperactivity. With time there's increased absorption of theobromine in bloodstream, causing a rapid rise in the heart beat, arrhythmia, restlessness, twitching, and excessive panting.
If the theobromine dose is more, it can lead to hyperthermia, tremors, seizures, coma and eventually death.
What's the Maximum Amount of Chocolate My Dog can eat?
There is no general benchmark for it. A lot of this depends on your dog's age and physical condition. An old or sick one would have a lower threshold for Theobromine poisoning than a healthier and younger dog.
Another factor that must be taken into account is the type of chocolate.
Which chocolate are safer, or have lesser percent of Theobromine?
Milk Chocolate has the least amount of theobromine. Baking chocolate has the highest amount of Theobromine.
Here is the list in increasing order of Theobromine:
Hot chocolateï� Milk chocolateï� baking chocolateï� semi-sweet chocolate.
The quantity of chocolate consumed also has a direct correlation with the weight of your dog. Small dogs can be poisoned from smaller amounts of theobromine.
What should I do if my dog has ingested chocolate & is sick?
The first-aid treatment for chocolate poisoning involves its removal from the body, before theobromine's circulation, by following steps
-Inducing vomiting,
-Administering activated charcoal to a slurry consistency, which absorbs theobromine byproducts.
-Dog owners should prepare an emergency kit at home. Plus you should consult your vet for the guidance on first-aid treatment for your dog.
-Your dog can suffer from dehydration after vomiting. Provide plenty of water.
-If your dog's symptoms remain the same within 6-8hrs or worsen further, call your vet. If you have a very small or young dog, consult a vet sooner.
High quality all natural dog treats specifically tailored to the dietary requirements of your canine companions can help improve their health.

How Useful is a of Bark Collar

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 07:00:00 +0000

by Colin M. Seal

Dogs bark and this is the principal mode of communication for the canine species. Barking signifies that dogs are delighted, angry, hungry or trying to warn their master about the presence of an intruder. The problem is if dogs bark too much especially during the night time, it will be very annoying and disturbing for you and neighbors. The option of dog owners is to purchase a bark collar to prevent their pet from barking too much and help train it to bark when it is necessary and not at normal neighbourhood activity.

These unique devices were made to train a dog to the correct amount of barking. The electronic bark collars work according to the standards of aversive training. Aversive dog training refers to the act of restraining your dogs to do something by using repulsive forms of stimulus. This aversive motivation includes a forewarning followed by slight static impulse - it's uncomfortable and distracts the dog from barking. It's similar to what you get if you touch a shopping trolley.

The intervals and power of these little impulses can be increased or reduced through control buttons depending on the intensity that you want or can be automatic. There is a bark collar appropriate for large dogs, smaller dogs. The idea to correct the dog at a low level so that if it needs to bark for the right reason it will probably not feel the impulse due to it's 'excitement level'.

The bark collar is comfortable with an adjustable strap. The Citronella variety is deemed to be safe and effective. It is not difficult to operate and you are assured that the collar will not cause any harm to your dog. Recent research about this specific collar pointed out that it can reduce annoying barking by more than 85%.

If your dog starts barking, a small spray of natural citronella spray is given out. The dog finds this distracting, it has a highly sensitive sense of smell. In fact, the dog will not like the odor, noise and feeling of citronella. This will definitely reduce their barking.

On the other hand, the sonic bark collar, static and citronella repelling. The electric or static model is also easy to use. You only need to place this unit around the neck of your dog. It is a battery-powered collar that senses the vibrations of the vocal cords of your dog so every time it starts to bark it will get a slight correction. It is said to be more effective in controlling barking.

There is also an indoor collarless bark control with a built-in microphone that can sense barking as much as five meters away. It is suitable for indoor use. The outdoor bark control used in the front and back yards has a capacity of 15 meters. It produces a shrill sound that humans cannot hear if barking is perceived.

Remember when selecting a Bark Collar for your dog it is best to seek the advice of an expert to help match the dog and it's behaviour to the right product to get the best results. It is not about punishing the dog or affecting it's personality it is about retraining the dog and giving it some guidelines.

Dog Jealousy And How To Deal With It

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 15:30:00 +0000

by Daryl Chapman

Do you ever wonder why some dogs act negatively whenever an owner brings home another baby or another pet? Jealousy in dogs does exist. Like man, dogs can feel too. They feel exhilarated, happy, sad, fearful and covetous. Some people do not believe that dogs get jealous. However, there are instances when dogs feel abandoned and left out. They refuse to eat and to interact. You may call it jealousy or something else, but the behavior and actions of the dog must not be ignored and must be addressed promptly as not to make the situation worse. If you have a dog and you feel that he or she might be jealous over someone or something, consider the tips below on how to handle such behavior.

Demonstrate The Signs That Your Dog Is Jealous
Before you can intervene, you need to understand the different signs that occur when a dog becomes jealous.
A dog may bark at the new baby or new pet that's hanging around the house. You will know that your dog is barking out of jealousy, if you observe your dog barking at you when you are giving attention to another person, pet or toy. It is their way of saying, "Hey, look at me." Moreover, your dog will want to be always at your side. He never wants to be in a room that is not the same room that you are in.
Another way to tell that your dog is jealous is he starts licking himself far more than the usual. He is diverting his interest to himself because he is not getting much attention from his master. In addition, observe your dog's eating habits. Undereating or overeating can be signs that your dog is jealous.
How To Handle A Jealous Dog
Once you have recognized the symptoms of jealous pet, you can start doing something that will reduce the problems at home. Following are things that you can do about a jealous dog:
Tender Loving Care (TLC)
Your dog is jealous because you are giving more care and attention to another person or pet. Probably, if you can give more time for your dog and show him that you still care. You can walk him in the park during breaks. Embrace your dog just like you used to. Do not make him feel left out. If you can keep your routine as regular as possible, then better. Certainly, this may not be easy if you have a new baby because having a newborn babe is more delicate. Just try to keep your dog's activities such as feeding or walks on the standard schedule. A break in the usual schedule can be very stressful for your pet.
Think Of The Possible Things That Can Upset Your Pet And Try To Reduce Them
If your cat loves to play with your dog's toys, keep them in a place where the cat won't see them. Dogs get annoyed when another pet is playing with their stuff. Say, your dog is upset because the new cat is hanging out in his part of the house, do not let the new cat stay there because dogs are territorial animals and they want to have their own space.
Dogs are considered man's best friends. They are endearing and they will look after their masters. However, they too have feelings and at times get jealous mainly if there is a new pet or new baby around. Take responsibility and supervise your dog during the transition. See to it that you are around when you bring home a new child or a new pet. That is being a responsible owner.

Agility Dog Training: The Tire Jump

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 16 Oct 2010 16:01:00 +0000

Author: Armand Gray

The Tire Jump seems like a relatively easy agility obstacle, at least from a persons perspective, but in the Novice Agility ring you see many dogs that refuse to go through it, many go under it, while others choose to go around it. How can you prepare your beginning agility for success with the Tire Jump?

Let's go back to foundation training. When introducing any new obstacle, you want to keep the difficulty low and emphasize the fun and ease that it can be for your dog. If your dog has a sit stay, leave him about 2 feet in front of the tire, facing it, walk to the other side and call your dog, "Come Tire". If he won't budge, put your hand with his treat or toy through the tire to coax him to follow your hand and jump through the tire. Practice this several times until he willing is coming to you. Keep him about 2 feet from the tire, you go to the other side and then move back about 6 feet, "Come Tire. When your dog is able to jump through the tire when you are at different distances and angles from the tire, then it is time to move him further away from the tire. Start him back 6 feet, you go to the other side about 6 feet away and call, "Come Tire". Place your dog at different distances and angles from the tire and call him to you. When your dog can succeed 80% of the time, its time to progress to make the challenge a bit harder.

Now that your dog is coming to you, it is time to teach "Go Tire". Start close to the tire again, 3 feet away, this time both you and your dog are facing the tire. Tell him "Go Tire". If he jumps through, great, step to the side and reward him. If you don't get any movement from the dog, step forward and point to the tire, "Go Jump". For some dogs this motion on your part is enough to get them up and going through the tire. If your dog still won't move, take your treat container or toy and throw through the tire, saying, "Go Tire". Repeat this many times until your dog will successfully go through the tire without you having to step toward the tire or throw his toy through the tire. If you are using a toy quickly try to get your dog to go through the tire then reward with a throw of the toy or treat container. Begin to back away from the tire, 3 feet, 6 feet, 9 feet work toward sending your dog from 30 feet away.

If you've started with a very young dog you should still have the tire height set low 8" or 12" for a good bit of your training. If your dog is older and large, now begin to move the tire height up. Go back and practice you "Come Tire" and "Go Tire" when you change the heights. As you raise the height your dog may try to go under the tire. At first you may want to setup some wire mesh or angled jump bars under the tire for your dog to realize he still needs to go through and not under the tire. When you are getting ready for competition, raise the tire slightly higher than your dog would have in the agility ring. Preparation and practice are the best training tips for succeeding in the competition ring.

Green Tea Vs Other Tea

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 15 Oct 2010 18:43:00 +0000

Author: Hosea Charles

There are several differences between green tea and other types of tea.

Processing - Green tea comes from the same plant as black tea, but it is processed differently. Green tea, however, is not fermented like black tea.

Green tea leaves are laid out to wither for about 8 to 24 hours after plucking to allow most of the water to evaporate. Next, to prevent the oxidation (fermentation) process, the leaves are steamed or pan fried. Finally the leaves are rolled and then dried again, unlike black tea leaves, which are cut.

Flavor - Because green tea is in a very natural state, it tastes more plant like than black tea. Most people describe green tea as having a somewhat "grassy" taste. It is green and somewhat pale in color, and can become bitter if over brewed. Green tea can have subtleties and differences in aroma and flavor based on the variety of the tea plant and the region in which the tea is grown.

In addition, there are many flavored green teas. Green teas are blended with herbs or fruit to create a wide variety of flavors. Many people who don't enjoy the taste of plain green tea love the combination of green tea with other flavors.

Serving method - Green tea needs cooler water than any other tea for proper brewing.

Water for green tea should be purified and heated to about 160Â°F. It can be enjoyed with sweetener, milk or lemon if you prefer. Green tea can also be enjoyed cold. Keeping a pitcher of iced green tea in your refrigerator lets you enjoy its health benefits all day long.

Caffeine Content - Green tea contains only about half the amount of caffeine as black tea. Black tea contains about 40 mg of caffeine per serving, while green tea contains just 20. In addition, caffeine in tea has been shown to be less likely to cause jitters than other caffeinated beverages.

Health Benefits - Green tea has received a lot of attention in recent years because it has been shown in research to be very effective at preventing many diseases and even in treating some. The natural anti-oxidants in green tea make it one of the most powerful health protectors you can consume as part of your diet. Green tea may be effective in:

â€¢Reducing your risk of some forms of cancer - Many different studies have supported the finding that green tea can prevent and possibly even help treat some forms of cancer. The first interest in green tea's health benefits resulted from statistics showing that Asian cultures, where green tea is the most commonly consumed beverage, have the lowest incidences of cancer in the world.

Some studies have even shown that green tea compounds can inhibit the growth of cancer cells, slowing the progress of the disease. It appears that tea may be most effective at preventing bladder, colon, rectal, esophageal, bladder, liver, lung, pancreatic cancer, breast cancer and prostate cancer.

â€¢Lowering Cholesterol - Tea has been shown to be effective in lowering LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol). It appears that tea's anti-oxidants work with HDL cholesterol to help transport bad cholesterol to the liver, where it can be passed from the body. Tea also appears to inhibit the formation of abnormal blood clots, which are the leading cause of heart attacks and strokes.

â€¢Ease Rheumatoid Arthritis -Tea's anti-oxidants may have the power to help prevent rheumatoid arthritis. In some studies, it has even been suggested that green tea may be able to ease symptoms of those already suffering with this disease.

â€¢Help Lose Weight - Tea's combination of catechins and caffeine appear to speed up the metabolism and may help with weight loss. In addition, it appears that using green tea as a diet supplement causes fewer instances of jitteriness and rapid heart rate than other diet supplements. It may also help regulate insulin in the body, which can be beneficial for diabetics. Many studies have shown that lifelong tea drinkers tend to weigh less and have less body fat than non tea drinkers.

â€¢Prevent Alzheimer's disease - Studies suggest that tea drinkers may also be less likely to develop Alzheimer's disease. Though the subject requires far more research, it has also been suggested that green tea's potent anti-oxidants may even have the power to slow down the progress of Alzheimer's disease in those already suffering.

Most people in the Western world still drink black tea over green tea. But, as you can see, there are many health reasons to make green tea a part of your regular diet. Green tea may be an important way to protect your health and prevent disease. And, it's delicious, too!

Easy Dog Training with Dog Toys

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 14 Oct 2010 15:57:00 +0000

Author: Ariel Guthrie

There are a few kinds of dog toys that are instrumental for effective dog obedience training. Here's a guide to a couple of the dog toys that are available and may be employed.

One such toy is Kongs, which are flexible rubber products. They have got a little hole inside them from where you can fill treats into them. It is needed for your dog to munch so that their teeth and jaws can be healthy. These dog toys may also be used as a distraction particularly when they're bored. Dog gnaw toys will focus generally on the natural chewing instinct of your dog.

Play Toys : These are dog toys that are used to help your dog play with themselves as well as with other dogs and even with you. These dog toys can help your dog to focus on their particular activity and in turn hone their abilities. It is critical to provide your dog with toys that are safe for him. Many dog owners like a toy called the Galileo Bone. It is produced by Nylabone, and proves to be in a position to hold up rather well with the average dog. AT least, it lasts long enough to sort of cause you to feel like you have got your money's worth.

Nylabone also makes the Funny Ball, which is also a hard toy designed for dogs. They have amazing sturdiness, so are particularly superb for dogs that like to munch a lot. Many companies also produce interactive toys, some of which are difficult enough to resist your dog. These toys hold his interest with sounds and lights, usually good for one or two hours of play before he gets bored by it. These are potentially toys that you would wish to control your dog playing with, or use them to just play fetch with.

Rope toys can shortly become a favourite for you both. They help to scrub your dog's teeth, and can be superb for fetch. They work fine for getting you involved in your dog's play, as they work excellent for tug of war matches.

Dog Training Basics - How To Prevent Undesired Urination

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 22:35:00 +0000

Author: Srinivasan Gopal

Issues with inappropriate urination are usually among the most commonly experienced problem by puppy lovers. As a matter of fact, improper urination coupled with defecation could be the most often cited contributing factor that dog lovers surrender such an animal into shelters.

So that you may address difficulty with inappropriate urination, you must have an understanding of the actual basis of the issue. There are many reasons why pet dogs drop control over their bladders, as well as it is important to learn their root cause within the difficulty so that it can be correctly attended to.

Excitement Urination
Canines often urinate when they become overly excited, and most dogs that are otherwise perfectly housebroken sometimes show their excitement by dribbling urine when greeting you excitedly. It is normal for some dogs to urinate when they get excited, and this can be a particular issue for many older dogs.

A lot of excitement induced urination occurs in young puppies, and it is caused by a lack of bladder control. The puppy may not even know he is urinating, and punishment will simply confuse him. Becoming angry with the puppy will quickly cause excitement urination to morph into submissive urination, thus compounding the issue. As the puppy gets older and develops better bladder control, this type of excitement urination should disappear.

The best cure for excitement urination is prevention. Preventing your dog from becoming over excited is the best way to control this problematic behavior. If your dog is excited by a particular stimulus or situation, it is important to repeatedly expose him to that situation until it no longer causes excessive excitement.

Submissive Urination
Submissive urination is a natural part of group conduct among some canines like pets. The submissive member of the pack shows his or her submissiveness by lowering itself and urinating. Since dogs are pack family pets, they may show their submissiveness to their master, who they regard being the group leader, through demonstrating this submissive urination.

Dogs who exhibit submissive urination are usually showing their insecurity. Unsocial zed and previously abused most dogs often exhibit submissive urination. These pet needs to be shown that there are more appropriate ways to express their submissive status, such as shaking hands or licking the owner's hand.

The best way to deal with submissive urination problems is often to ignore the urination. Trying to reassure the dog can give the mistaken impression that you approve of the behavior, while scolding the dog can make the submissive urination worse.

Correcting problems with submissive urination ought to be directed at developing the dog's self-confidence and helping him with new ways to present his respect. Helping the dog to raise his paw, sit on command, and similar behavioral instructions, is a good way for you to direct the dog's admiration in the more suitable course.

Problems with urination are not always easy in order to deal with, but you should be consistent, and for you to usually reward acceptable behavior on the part of the dog. While urination complications do occur, it is often sensible to first rule out any kind of health conditions that may very well be causing those problems. Health issues like bladder infections can be the real cause of difficulty with unwanted urination.

Just after such medical problems are ruled out, you should find out what is causing the main issue, and treat it appropriately. Though it can be tempting for you to punish your dog for unacceptable elimination, doing so can only confuse and also further intimidate him.

Search Dog Training - Lives Depend On It

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 10 Oct 2010 03:18:00 +0000

Author: Jay J. Whoods

In the world of today, there are many searches being conduct for lost or injured people or perhaps a person wanted by law enforcement. Dogs are often called on to help the searchers find their target. Dogs which are trained to perform these searches are in high demand. Search dog training is important in preparing the canines for their duties.

There are many breeds of dogs through out the world. The natural abilities of certain breeds of dogs make them especially good dogs for searches. Border Collies, German Shepherds, Labradors, and Golden Retriever are among the best breeds that can be trained to search.

The dog that has completed a search dog training program will be working around people of the search party so it is essential that the canine is even tempered. The circumstances of the search can be very stressful for the manpower involved and than can translate to stress for the dog. During the search, there will be a different noises and distractions. It is important that the dog be able to work with focus under these conditions.

Some of the dogs are trained to follow the scent of a person which remains in the air. A human will leave behind microscopic air particles which remain suspended in the air and the dog can detect and follow them. A tracking search dog will follow the scent of a lost person or at large criminal which remains on the ground. The public is most familiar with this type of search dog.

There are other dogs which have specialized search dog training. Dogs can be trained to look for the body of possible drowning victims. A deceased body below the surface will give off gases as it decomposes. A dog trained for a water search can detect these gases and lead searchers to a more narrow area of search.

Other dogs have the ability to pick up the scent of cadavers who have been buried under soil. The life of a person who may be trapped under an avalanche may depend on a dog which is trained to find victims under the snow.

When a life is in the balance, mankind can turn to his best friend the dog to perform the search and aid in the rescue. The dog which has completed search dog training will prove itself to be a valuable asset. The rescue of a single human being will make the cost all the more worth while.

House Training a Dog

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 07 Oct 2010 22:51:00 +0000

Author: Wendy Gorman

Dogs are intuitively clean. You may or may have not observed this with your own dog, but the knowledge will hopefully help you better understand why your dog displays certain apparently unpleasant traits. All dogs have their own definition of cleanliness and they instinctively act to maintain that standard. Dogs do not intentionally soil themselves. In fact, they have various inbuilt ways of avoiding doing so. Some dogs prefer to dispose of their waste on the grass, while others prefer to use gravel. You may not have noticed, but in this mannerism they are very similar to cats. It is best to consider these dog habits to be a positive element that can be worked on. A useful way to start training a dog, is to take advantage of these natural habits as a basis for fast and successful house training.

There are two essential steps when training a dog within your home. The first is to set up a specific living area for your dog. This can be set up in relatively little space in such places as the garage or the bathroom. Some people use a small area of the kitchen. It might not be such a good idea though to utilize any part of your living room for your dog, as it might be quite difficult for both you and he to accept that as his private space. It is highly advisable to spend some quality time with your pet in his own living area. The living area should be chosen as a potential place to play with your dog. Your dog should also be free to sleep and eat in that area. It will be more satisfactory and motivating for your pet if you also provide them with their own bed in the designated area. Have patience in dealing with your dog in the 'his' living area. Your dog may pass waste in there at first but later, will realize that it is their own living area and will then make an effort not to mess in there again.

Once your dog becomes familiar in sleeping in his specialized bed, it is then no longer a problem to transfer the bed to any part of the house, or anywhere you wish. If you move the bed outside your dog's living area, you will need to ensure that you confine your pet to the bed. If you are using a crate as his bed, make sure to close the crate's door. If you are using a towel as your dog's bed, place it behind particular furniture and harness your dog so he will not stray from the bed.

It is not advisable to leave your pet unattended while they are leashed, so you may well consider having the leash attached to yourself. You may for instance, clip one end of the leash to your belt loop. This would allow you to keep an eye on the dog and constantly supervise his conduct and activity.

The second step in house training a dog, is to set up a toilet area. You will then need to train him to pass waste in your prescribed toilet area. If your dog shows signs of wanting to, or actually starts, to do his business, then immediately take him to this area. Stay with your dog during this process each time until he finally establishes the habit of only passing waste in his own toilet area.

The steps outlined here are practical, yet have a significant impact on your dog's disciplinary behavior. Once your dog develops such habits, moving on to a higher level of training should become much easier.

Use a Motorcycle Pet Carrier to Bring Your Pet Along

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 17:04:00 +0000

Author: Armand Gray

Motorcycle excursions can be even more exciting when you take your fury "best friend" along. With a safe motorcycle pet carrier, you can include your dog or cat when taking almost any day-trip or long getaway. Your pet will likely enjoy going with you rather than staying behind at your home alone or at a kennel, and you both can breathe in the fresh breezes while traveling by motorcycle.

Fun Adventures in Pet Travel
Pet travel by motorcycle enables you to take breaks and walk your pet on mountain or nature trails, or along the sandy beaches. You can take your pet along on a camping trip or find hotels that allow pets to stay as well. You and your pet might also enjoy walks in parks, sightseeing, and motorcycle tours of your destination city.

Preparation for Pet Travel
Before leaving, be sure you have an adequate and safe motorcycle dog carrier or cat carrier. Your pet carrier should be large enough to hold your pet comfortably while allowing room to breathe and move. It should be well ventilated and safely mounted to your motorcycle. Durable pet crates come in various sizes and shapes to meet your needs.

Visit a veterinary clinic for a pet checkup before leaving to be sure it's safe for your pet to travel. Make sure your pet has been properly vaccinated and has appropriate identification in case you get separated from your pet while traveling. There are collars with pet ID tags or microchips that can be surgically inserted under your pet's skin with all its necessary ID information. Animal shelters, hospitals, and many local authorities have the capability to scan these microchips to find out to whom a pet belongs.

Also, be sure your pet has plenty of food and water for the trip along with treats and goodies for "good behavior!"

Weather Alerts for Pet Travel
Be sure your motorcycle carrier comes with accessories for all sorts of weather. Rain, snow, sleet, high winds, or extreme heat or cold can all pose a threat to your pet while traveling in a pet crate. You should have coverings to protect the carrier and your pet during these times. Also, when it is extremely hot or cold outdoors, never leave your pet unattended in the pet crate outdoors for any length of time - take the pet with you!

Pet Travel Items to Bring Along
Items you should never leave without when traveling with your pet include nail clippers (for dogs), a blanket or sheet for comfort, an extra collar, a sturdy leash, food and water bowl set, toys, treats, lint/hair remover, waste bags, first aid kit, and a flashlight for taking nighttime strolls.

A motorcycle pet carrier makes it easy and safe to take your pet with you wherever you go. Even if you don't have a motorcycle, you can find pet crates or carriers for other travel methods. There are scooter dog carriers, bicycle pet carriers, car travel pet carriers, and many others to make pet travel easy. You can visit online pet specialty stores to find durable pet carriers to meet your needs.

Use these tips to have a great pet travel adventure!

7 Useful Tips For Dog Training

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 21:48:00 +0000

Author: Darren Pillsbury

Man's best friend. It's a nickname that's been around for ages, but sometimes your dog doesn't feel like your best bud - especially when he's been going to the bathroom on the rug, barking at all hours of the night, and digging up the backyard so much that it looks like a WWI battlefield. But don't despair - here are a few useful tips for dealing with 'man's best friend' when he's misbehaving.

1) Don't use violence. As tempting as it may be in the moment, don't strike your dog in anger. It can make him more aggressive, or cause him to do bad things out of his anxiety about being hit. Not to mention it's mean! A light smack might be appropriate for a dog that just won't behave, but not in anger. If your blood is boiling, walk away or you might hurt your pet.

2) Discipline immediately. This may seem like a contradiction after tip #1, but anger is the key ingredient that's missing here. Dogs don't have a very good sense of logic, nor very good memories, so disciplining a dog half an hour after bad behavior is usually wasted effort. He usually won't connect the punishment and what he did that caused it.

3) Use tone of voice to convey your displeasure. Dogs have extraordinary social intelligence (meaning they understand social cues from humans better than almost all other animals). An angry, disapproving voice gets your message across very clearly.

4) Use isolation in a small room or away from the family as another form of punishment. When the dog associates withdrawal of love and attention with bad behaviors, they will often stop doing the behavior over time.

5) Be consistent. Dogs are like children - they will push you to see just how much you'll let them get away with. If you only discipline your dog occasionally, they'll understand that they can behave any way they want to with only a small chance of being disciplined.

6) Be the 'top dog.' You dog instinctively looks for a 'leader of the pack' - and that should be you! Don't let the dog run your life; that's not what the 'top dog' does! Instead, teach your dog his place in the pack by using commanding tones and body language towards him. No wishy-washy commands or whiny voices! He will ultimately be happier because he knows where he stands, and will also try to get away with less.

7) Start early. If you don't discipline a puppy in the first few months, you're only making your job harder down the road when he's spoiled and convinced he's the king of the house.

Puppy Training Tips - New Puppy Tips For Your New Dog

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 29 Sep 2010 18:55:00 +0000

Author: Scott Lipe

Puppy training tips are mostly common sense but a few tips are great to have. A big thing to remember here is the age of your puppy. All the training in the world will not sink in for your puppy if it is very complicated. Starting with the basics like the puppy learning their name and responding to you. This can be done with your puppy at play time with you. Puppy's are just baby's and so small fun filled play sessions work well.

As early as possible you will want your puppy potty trained, whatever methods you use keep consistent. Puppy needs to go to the potty area, at first ten times a day. While you are praising him for using the right area you can use his name, in this way you are doing both at the same time. Puppy's love praise, so the more praise they get for the right behavior, they quickly learn that this is a great, and easy, way to get praise from you. Giving your new puppy lots of new situations help's your puppy grow up into a well adjusted dog that can cope with situations as they arise. By this I do not mean take your puppy on to a main road straight away, with lots of loud traffic but to build up the experience over time.

Helping your puppy to cope with the different situation they may encounter. If they are likely to meet up with children, well let's face it in a park they are over time going to meet children. Introduce your puppy to children early on. Maybe you have relatives that use a wheelchair, again introduce this early for the dog, in this way you build up the puppy's ability to cope. This reduces any problems you may have later. Basic lead work is a good area to work on as well. Allowing your puppy to get used to a lead and collar.

You are not expecting heel work at this point, but you are expecting the introduction of the collar and lead. A tip here is for you to get the dog using the lead while you are out and not carrying the puppy around. Carry you puppy can become a bad habit, and if you have a large dog it is soon something you would rather not be doing. If you have a car then the introduction of puppy to the car should be started. Think about car safety and if you wish to use a dog seat belt or maybe a crate in the car.

Some puppy's like children can get car sick, if this happens, do not shout or hit the puppy, it really cannot help what has happened. This is why a set aside area in the car can work really well, you then only have the mess in that place. If your puppy is car sick then you need to think about shorter journeys and building up trips as the dog gets used to traveling in the car.

Think about your puppy and what you want from their training and then sort out the program you wish to follow, soon you will have a puppy training the way that you want.

Dog Aggression. Can It Be Fixed?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 27 Sep 2010 21:52:00 +0000

Author: Jim Burwell

Many dog owners are seeking a cure for their aggressive dogs. Their questions usually focus around these three questions: Can you fix it? What do I have to do? How long will it take? Let's take these questions one by one.

Can you fix it?
As much as everyone wants their dog to be friendly towards all other dogs, the reality is that not every dog that is reactive with aggressive tendencies can be rehabilitated. Here are a range of results.

Complete rehabilitation from dog aggression and a resumed and relaxed ease around dogs. A controlled, on leash tolerance to a certain proximity to other dogs on walks allowing you to be in public places with your dog confidently under control without aggressing. No rehabilitation requiring management for the life of your dog.

What do I have to do?
As you consider treatment or rehabilitating your aggressive dog you must also commit to 100% management of your dog during treatment. This means the physical or mechanical control needed to prevent your aggressive dog from being confronted with something he can't handle at that point in time. Obtain the services of a professional trainer or behaviorist to assist in rehabilitating your dog. Even if you are prepared, it can be very frightening and intimidating on your end of the leash. If you find that your dog aggression is not treatable, you must commit to managing your dog for the life of your dog. When working with your aggressive dog, understand that results can vary widely.

How long will it take?
That's the $64,000 question! While some aggressive dogs rehabilitate quickly, it can take 18 months or longer for other aggressive dogs and results will vary depend on a number of factors. How successful you were at establishing a solid foundation for leadership. How well and methodically you performed your obedience commands without distractions at first and then gradually adding relevant distractions within the scope of your specific recommended behavior modification exercises. How you performed your recommended behavior modification exercises to set your aggressive dog up to succeed. Your handling skills, timing, demeanor and confidence

Some owners, however, are not successful working with their aggressive dog. Every owner knows what they want - a happy dog that will get along well with dogs. Not every dog comes like this. And, some dogs never got the chance to socialize. Not particularly their fault but it's what a dog owner has to work with.

Let's take a look at some of the more common reasons owners are not successful working with their dog's aggressiveness on leash.

Lack of confidence in handling their aggressive dog, it can be very frightening! Lack of money to train. It takes money to do obedience training. Lack of time to commit to working on this difficult challenge and the lack of resources - friends with dogs or a source of dogs (preferably non-reactive) to do a sufficient number of set ups to accomplish this tedious task of getting their dog used to the things that cause their aggression.

For these reasons and many more is why I reiterate again - employ a professional trainer to assist you in your work. A good trainer can be a big help in many of these areas.

Owners should stay actively involved in the rehabilitation of their aggressive dog. Do not send your dog off to be rehabilitated. Many dogs have become reactive because of previous training received causing the dog to associate physical leash corrections (with choke chains, pinch collars or shock collars) to the very thing you are trying to get them to like - other dogs! But every time they react to a dog, a correction is given and the association is made: other dogs cause pain.

Rehabilitating your reactive or aggressive dog is not an easy task. It takes time, patience, expertise and a written program that takes you through very sequential steps to finally bring you and your dog to, hopefully, a successful outcome. If you have an aggressive dog, get the help of a professional. Your dog needs this help sooner than later.
