  • Akita aggression towards children and strangers  By : Nancy Richards
    There could, however, be a worst-case scenario when the dog does not really appreciate the training procedure and may growl at the trainer. In such a case, the trainer may even try to discipline him with a smack or a jerk of the collar.

    If visiting children don’t go down too well with the dog, which is majority of the time, there should be someone to monitor his attitude towards the former. He should be made to sit and watch the family kid play with that of the neighbor’s, and thus, eventually made to get accustomed to all strangers in general.

  • Socializing a Greyhound  By : Nancy Richards
    Before taking a greyhound, one should be perfectly conversant with the methods to train him into domestic life. Adoption centers with experts at handling animals are the best possible options to turn to when one is at a loss with a greyhound.

    These professionals understand the mind of the dog. A dog that is used to a schedule of running at a particular time of the day and then again staying locked in a room for the rest of the day is bound to feel ecstatic when set scot-free. Domestic life for him would mean running around in his owner’s house all throughout the day, without really having to follow too many ground rules.
  • Doogy odor in RetrieverS  By : Nancy Richards
    One of the most prominent areas for odor generation is the retriever’s backside. There could be anal infection, a buildup of feces on the dog’s coat, or the Labrador might be constipated or have diarrhea, both of which will produce significant odor.

    As you are inspecting the retriever’s body, take detailed notes on what you see, smell, feel, and hear. These notes will become valuable when you take the dog to a veterinarian. Also, it will document signs or symptoms that you might forget to tell the veterinarian.

  • Aggression in Boxers  By : Nancy Richards
    The trainer should always be consistent in reinforcing good behavior and correcting bad behavior and should never strike a dog. Many trainers use a leash and chain-link collar, known as a choke collar. In spite of its name, the collar is never meant to choke a dog, but is used to deliver quick snaps to gain a dog's attention. This training collar is useful in teaching basic obedience commands, such as sit, stay, heel, come, and down.
  • Why dogs eat their own poop?  By : Nancy Richards
    You can control the cleanliness of your home, and you can control what your Bichon Frise eats. One way to keep a Bichon Frise from eating its own poop is to put food additives in the Bichon Frise’s regular food. Food additives provide nutrients that the Bichon Frise needs and, as a result, these nutrients will keep the Bichon Frise from eating its poop. Consult the Bichon Frise’s veterinarian to make sure that your Bichon Frise is receiving food additives that are safe and effective for your Bichon Frise.
