DIGGING CAN BE DANGEROUS Ruined landscaping, escape attempts,

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 10:03 pm

DIGGING CAN BE DANGEROUS Ruined landscaping, escape attempts, and dirty dogs: Digging can be a very destructive and expensive adventure for your dog to embark upon. First, you need to question why your dog is digging in the first place. Is it bored? We already spoke to the resolution of that issue in the above article. Second, do they dig and lay in the holes? Then your dog may be hot or cold and looking for some relief. Train your dog where to lay his head by finding a more suitable bed that satisfies their warmth or cooling requirements. Third and most tricky, is your dog trying to leave your yard by digging under a fence? To reverse this one, you will need to attach a long line to their collar and watch them. When you catch them in the act of digging, you need to correct them, while saying “NO!”, and then replace their behavior with an obedience command. When you find holes, it is important to immediately refill them. Check to be sure that the dog has not buried anything in the hole to prevent them from re-digging the hole to retrieve their items. Do not allow your dog to take food, treats, or rawhides outside because this often can lead to an instinctive burying behavior to protect their leftovers. If the behaviors continue after consistent observing and training on your own, make sure to call us so that the behaviors do not become a solidified habit.

Head, Shoulders, Knees, & Toes Each breed of dog comes with its own requirements for physical maintenance. The level and frequency of care required depend on the length and type of hair and frequently observed skin conditions. It’s always important to consult your veterinarian prior to beginning any feeding or maintenance regimen, but here are a few considerations to be made during your planning process. Brushing & Haircuts Most dogs enjoy a brushing and should receive a full body brush down on a regular basis. What is regular? It depends. Longer haired dogs often require daily brushing to prevent matting and tangling. Medium length dogs should receive weekly brushings. Short haired canines can last up to a month. You can brush your dog more than its minimum requirement as long as you are using gentle strokes in the direction of hair growth and your dog’s skin is not aggravated. Brushing more often than the minimum requirements will result in reduced shedding and hair build up. See the second article below which discusses the different types of brushes to choose the appropriate one for your dog! If you have a dog with a continuously growing coat of hair (Poodles and Shih Tzus are two breeds of this type), then you will need to have their hair cut and/or styled each month in order to keep their coat managed properly. Each dog is different, so make sure that you check with your professional groomer to ensure appropriate spacing between appointments. Bathing Actual bathing experiences can occur as frequently as weekly or as infrequently as monthly depending upon your dogs breed and activity. Always use soap-free shampoos designed specifically for dogs to ensure the least risk of skin reactions. If your dog has specific issues with its skin, consult a veterinarian for directions before bathing. Tubs are almost always the easiest place to wash dogs. Remember to put on an apron, bathing suit, or old clothing because you may get wet yourself! If indoor bathing is just not going to work, perhaps an inexpensive plastic children’s pool would better suit the purpose, and make it easier to keep your house dry. Brush your dog prior to getting it wet. This will allow you to remove tangles and mats before the water makes them harder to deal with. Ears What was that command you just gave? Maybe your dog can’t hear you! Dog ears can be prone to bacterial and yeast infections if they are not appropriately cared for appropriately. Dogs with floppy ears and/or long hair are most likely to have more ear-related issues due to reduced air exposure to the ear canal. For other dogs, allergies are the culprit for repeated ear issues. Each month during its bath, a dog’s ears should be washed out and treated. For a detailed instruction on how to wash your dog’s ears visit this site. If your dog’s ears smell or are specifically dirty, special cleaning agents and medications from your vet may be necessary. Teeth Did you know that dogs need their teeth brushed? In fact, dogs should receive a brushing twice per week to reduce plaque build-up that can threaten their cardiac wellbeing. Between brushings, dry food and biscuits are the best choice to ensure dental health. If your dog’s teeth are already discolored and plaque has begun to build, ask your vet if your dog may need a more thorough cleaning that only the vet can offer. Tools of the Trade Different brushes are required for different dog breeds, coats, and grooming requirements. Here is an overview of some general categories of brushes available: Type of Hair Coat Recommended Brush Type Brushing Direction Short, smooth coats (most Retrievers, Hounds, Chihuahuas, etc.) Soft to medium bristle brush with short, closely spaced bristles With the coat’s grain Short, wiry coats (Terriers, etc.) Firm bristle brush with short, closely spaced bristles; and a slicker brush With the coat’s grain Medium to long flowing coats (Golden Retrievers, Spaniels, Setters, Lhasa Apso, etc.) Soft to medium bristle brush with long, medium- to wide-spaced bristles; a wire-pin brush; and a slicker brush for mats and tangles With the coat’s grain Harsh, outer coats with soft, woolly undercoats (Sheepdogs, Collies, Shepherds, Chows, Pomeranians, etc.) Firm bristle brush with long, wide-spaced bristles; a wire-pin brush; and a slicker brush for tangles and mats With the grain — outer coat; Against the grain–under coat Thin, delicate coats (Yorkies, Maltese, etc.) Wire-pin brush; and a soft slicker brush for tangles and mats With and against the coat’s grain Table Information excerpted from Guide to Home Pet Grooming by Dr. Chris C. Pinney, D.V.M. Used by arrangement with Barron’s Educational Series, Inc. Hauppauge, New York. Regardless of your brush selection, your brush strokes need to be slow and gentle. Tangles and mats can be difficult to deal with, but your patience will help make the experience better for both you and your dog. The more your brushing experience is positive, the more your dog will like the process, and the less trouble they will give you when you try to repeat it. A rushed and painful experience will make it more difficult to brush your dog later because he or she will certainly remember a negative experience. Build trust and bond with your dog by doing frequent and short brushing sessions to keep them mat and tangle free! Getting Your Dog Accustomed to Being Groomed Grooming can emphasize your dog’s trust with you. It is an integral part to your relationship and can definitely benefit your training program. Once you have the proper tools together, it is time to utilize your dog’s basic skills in a practical way. You will need to teach your dog to lie or sit quietly while being groomed and it is beneficial to also teach them to roll over and show you their bellies. First, have your dog lie down and then use “stay!” Next, brush your dog gently. If they get up, place them back and repeat the “stay!” command. Start out with short sessions and be sure to praise your dog calmly and soothingly while they remain still. Work through the coat gently and as you get to more tender areas, you can distract your dog with a treat. Remember to be calm! If you get exicted, so will your dog. As your dog improves, lenghthen your sessions. If you do this several times a week, in no time you will have a dog that is a pleasure to groom.

Head, Shoulders, Knees, & Toes Each breed of dog comes with its own requirements for physical maintenance.

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 6:03 pm

Is Your Dog a Canine Good Citizen? The American Kennel Club offers a Canine Good Citizen program designed to measure your dog’s social manners out and about. The testing evaluates several things your dog has been trained for, such as walking on a loose leash, meet and greets with dogs and people, basic commands, distraction work, separation and grooming. Upon passing the test, the American Kennel Club issues a certification formally acknowledging him as a Canine Good Citizen. The test is required by most therapy dog programs, and is a great foundation if you are interested in doing this type of work with your dog. The ten items on the Canine Good Citizen test are: -Accepting a friendly stranger. -Sitting politely for petting. -Reaction to another dog. -Reaction to distraction. -Walking on a loose lead. -Walking through a crowd. -Appearance and grooming. -Sit and down on command, and staying in place. -Coming when called. -Supervised separation. Is Your Dog Ready? Make sure your dog can accomplish the objectives not only in your home, but also in different environments with new distractions. Group Classes are the perfect place for this. In fact, let the trainer know you are working towards this goal and we’ll specifically help you with some of the requirements. If your dog performs well at group class, that is a great first step in earning the certificate. For all rules and regulations, visit The AKC Site.

Treat Selection Would your dog like a treat?

Filed under: Uncategorized — admin @ 4:00 pm

Treat Selection Would your dog like a treat? You bet! There are many treats out there that you can purchase that are great for your dog. It is fun to see them excited for their gift, and it is a great way to bond with your dog when used correctly. Unfortunately, there are lots of foods out there that are NOT good for your dog and should be avoided. Lucky for you, we have made the following list of “do” and “do not” treats to help you with your choices and make sure that positive experiences win out over the negative alternatives. DO: Many companies offer treats that are free of wheat, corn, soy, and artificial ingredients. These are the best choices you can make for your dog. Try using sweet potato rawhides instead of animal rawhides to offer your dog a treat that is easier on their stomach and less likely to create tension than regular rawhide options. Some of the companies that make treats that we often use are Zuke’s, Cloud Star Buddy Biscuits, Newman’s Own Organics, and Sojos Good Dog Treats. DO NOT: Canine metabolic systems are NOT the same as human ones. For this reason, there are many foods that should be left out of all canine diets even as treats. The following list offers some of the grocery items that should be avoided: alcohol, baby food, bones from fish/poultry, cat food, chocolate and other caffeine products, citrus, fat trimmings, grapes, raisins, hops, human vitamins, liver (in large quantities), macadamia nuts, dairy, spoiled foods, mushrooms, onions, garlic, fruit pits, potato, tomato, rhubarb, raw eggs, raw fish, salt, string, sugar, scraps, tobacco and yeast. While this is an incomplete list, these are commonly questioned items that are not approved for animal consumption. For more information visit PetEducation.Com . If you ever have a question about whether or not an ingredient is safe for your dog, we always suggest calling to check with your veterinarian. HOW: When used correctly, treats are a great way to reinforce training. When overused, treats can cause both treat dependency and obesity. Use treats according to your trainer’s instruction, and with moderation. Reserve the use of treats for exceptional situations, and use your praise as rewards during everyday situations. Remember, in the dog world, praise without effort is never rewarded. Therefore, do not give your dog a treat without reason. Make sure that your dog has been issued a challenge and has completed it. These challenges could include stays with distraction and self control around strangers. Your dog will be proud of itself for a job well done and will understand the treat is a reward. This style of treating will show the dog you’re proud of them for pleasing you.
