Secrets to Successfully Housebreaking Your Puppy

Secrets to Successfully Housebreaking Your Puppy

by Craig Clemins

All new dog owners eventually have to tackle the challenge of housebreaking a puppy. Housebreaking a puppy requires the owner (or dog trainer) to be patient and consistent in their commands. Unfortunately on many occasions, dog owners give up to soon and their puppies end up staying in their crate most of the time.

Dogs that are properly trained are also very happy dogs, usually these dogs have been shown love, attention and patience. If you use these three things mixed with the ability to be firm and consistent, you will house break your puppy much more quickly.

Upon discovering that your puppy has made a mess on the carpet, or somewhere else in the house - don't yell at him. This is the last thing you should do. You also cannot let your dog get away with him mistake as this will leave your dog feeling like he's the boss. One thing that can work well is to keep your dog inside a crate when you are not watching it. You'll find that dogs hate to go to the toilet near where they sleep or eat, so in most cases your puppy will learn to wait till he's outside to go to the toilet.

Many of the dog owners or trainers swear by the crate during the breaking period, this method gives the puppy just enough space to eat and to sleep. This is their only little house where they are able to get away from it all. After you have actually finished the training period you will find that the crate will become his favorite place just to relax.

Dogs usually need to go to the toilet first thing in the morning, after meals, and sometimes before going to bed. A good idea is to get into a good routine and give your dog a chance to go outside at these times. Try to give your dog plenty of time and don't hurry him to go to the toilet. If you are late in letting your dog outside, you may quite likely find an accident waiting for you.

If you live in a small apartment that doesn't have space outside for your dog to go to the toilet, you may find paper training a good alternative to crate training. Paper training involves teaching your puppy to go to the toilet on paper which is placed in an allocated "toilet" area. Using this method, each day you'll need to put new paper down.

As your dog gets used to his new toilet schedule he will begin to let you know when he needs to go. He may start running round in circles, scratching at the door, or barking to signal that he needs to go outside. If this happens, let him go outside, then reward him with a small treat for the good behaviour. - 20511

Animal Hospitals Speak Language of Dogs, with English as a Plus

Animal Hospitals Speak Language of Dogs, with English as a Plus

by Dr. Omaboe

Nearly all veterinarians understand the language of dogs. He or she will be familiar with a wagging tail as a gauge of the greatest happiness, the patter of paws as enthusiasm, a tilted head as an effort to hear and comprehend, and a guttural snarl as a forewarning to stay back.

A dog's body language and additional intuitive messages suggest a wealth of information to his or her (http://www.squidoo.com/CliniqueVeterinaireNyonArea) veterinarian. That line of contact will likely be constantly open.

However, when communication between the veterinarian and dog owner is impossible, any riveting conversation initiated by the dog is deemed useless. For this reason, fluid human language is precious.

When a veterinarian speaks your own language, you can feel confident that he or she fully understands your dog's battle with constipation, allergies, heartworm, or any number of other dog illnesses. You can offer details about your dog's pregnancy and be well received. You can express concerns about puppy care and know that you've gathered good information. You can ask dog health questions and get answers that not only make sense, but are fully understood.

Additionally, when providing critical care, like veterinary surgery, or administering pet medication, it is imperative that you, the pet owner, understand directives for preparation, aftercare, and dog medicine dosage. If there is a gap in communication between you and your pet's veterinarian, your dog may suffer serious consequences.

Dog health problems are often uncovered after a complete consultation, in which the dog's symptoms are outlined. If you cannot feel confident that your dog's animal doctor has understood every, single symptom that you've presented, then you cannot feel confident in the care your dog will receive.

Don't be shy. Ask a vet and the veterinary clinic's staff if they speak fluent English. Start a conversation that will prove their claims; before you make your dog's first appointment.

A veterinary health check or sick appointment is no time to brush up on your French, or to become skilled at some practical German. As an alternative, it should be a channel with one intention in mind; your dog's sustained good health or curing. And that can simply be accomplished when your communication with the veterinarian is just as fluid as the communication your dog is sending. Woof, woof! - 20511

Dr. N.J. Omaboe has been practicing veterinary medicine for over two decades. He speaks English confidently which enables him to have superior communication with his clients, many of which are native English speakers.

Homemade Dog Food Recipes - Learn To Make Your Pet's Food

Homemade Dog Food Recipes - Learn To Make Your Pet's Food

by Adrian Fletcher

If you have never really considered making your pet's food from scratch you will be surprised to know that there are a huge variety of homemade dog food recipes you can try out. Once you start experimenting with homemade dog food recipes, youll discover many ways to provide healthy meals that your dog loves eating. You will find an amazing assortment of homemade dog food recipes. Dog food recipes cover all types of dishes, much like a human recipe book might. You will find ideas for snacks, main courses, breakfast meals. There are even international recipes if you really want to treat your pet.

There are a vast array of resources when you are looking for homemade dog food recipes. The best way to get some recipes is to simply search on the internet. Entering homemade dog food recipes with chicken will return plenty of pages of interesting recipes. Many will be very easy to prepare and won't take much time either.

Check all the ingredients listed in the homemade dog food recipe first. You may find an ingredient that your dog doesn't like or is even allergic to. This can only be discovered through trial and error and is often impossible to fathom if you use commercial dog food. Of course he may or may not like the new dish that you make him, but most dogs are not fussy eaters and will respond to fresh, good quality ingredients.

It is a lot easier to search for homemade dog food recipes if you know exactly what kind of recipe you're looking for. If you prepare a recipe that has chicken and discover that your dog wont eat it, then revise your search to include the words beef or turkey. This way you'll eliminate chicken recipes that are of no use to you.

Of course, an important consideration when you are looking for dog food recipes is that the meals are balanced and complete. Not all meals will be balanced and complete, just as many human recipes you find on the internet may be treat type foods rather than healthy options. Find out what the nutritional guidelines are for each recipe or consult your vet about a meal you may be planning for your pet.

A vet can give you some basic nutritional rules to follow and this way you can make sure the recipes you use measure up and also that your dog is getting the right amount of vitamins and minerals in his diet. Obviously, different breeds will require different types of homemade dog food recipes so never start feeding your dog a new diet without first running it past your vet.

Remember that this is a learning experience. You and your pet are on a learning curve. You may try a few recipes that do not appeal to your pet. Try a few new ideas until you find what he likes and dislikes. It will be worth it in the long run as your dog will be healthier and have more energy after eating homemade dog food recipes. - 20511

A Crate Could Be Your Dog's Best Friend

A Crate Could Be Your Dog's Best Friend

by Olivia Samsoen

Let's talk crates and dogs. But before we do, let's clarify that the kinds of crates we'll be discussing aren't what some of you may be visualizing. These aren't wooden freight delivery crates full of mysterious artifacts from an Egyptian temple. Crating dogs is a general term for keeping your dog in a cage (called a crate) for the purposes of potty training and to provide it with a secure "home" it can call its own.

When my family first came over to visit our new puppy many years back, they were shocked to see we had a crate setup in the corner of our living room. Never, in their wildest imagination, would they have thought that two people so devoted to animal welfare would employ such a device. It seemed cruel to them, and completely at odds with our personalities. What they didn't realize is that crate training is an efficient and harmless way to potty train a young dog and, in later years, provides it with a place it can consider its own.

Yes, I agree, crates dont look very appealing. I, for one, wouldnt want to be kept in a crate. Then again, Im not a dog. The truth is, most dogs actually LIKE their crates. Dogs are similar to wolves. Both enjoy a cozy den-like atmosphere and that is exactly what a crate becomes to your four-legged friend.

Used properly, your dog will learn to love his crate. Though we haven't needed to close the door in years, our dog (one of 3) is now 10 and still walks into her crate through out the day to nap, escape from rambunctious children and to hide from passing thunderstorms. Her crate is her home within a home and a sanctuary.

Not only will your dog eventually love its crate, but you will love come to love it too as a training tool and a means of keeping your dog safe. There are many times when it is beneficial to lock an energetic pup away for a few minutes. In our own experience, having the front door to the house propped open to move furniture or because workers are coming in and out is a perfect example of how short-term doggy-lockdown is the safest option for all involved.

It is essential, however, that you use a crate correctly lest you cause your dog emotional damage or sabotage your efforts to use the crate as a training tool. Above all, limit the amount of time your dog spends in its crate. This is difficult for working couples, but try to keep the time your dog spends in its crate under 5 hours. If your dog is particularly young, swing by the house during the work day to let your pup stretch its legs and do its business on a short walk. Once your dog has been housebroken, you should be able to dispense with the daytime lock-up entirely.

You should never use the crate as a means of punishment for bad behavior. Remember, to effectively serve as a potty training aid, your dog must think of the crate as its home and sanctuary. You're trying to play on his inclination to avoid eliminating where he sleeps. If you punish him by crating him, you will confound the effort. He won't see his crate as a home in which he shouldn't poop but will treat it with the same indifference as your expensive rug. Make his crate his sanctuary and it will serve its purpose best.

Choosing a crate for your dog is less about style than it is about size. You're shooting for something large enough to allow your dog to sleep comfortably and turn around in. But bigger isn't better. Too large of a crate will defeat potty training purposes and your dog may eliminate in one corner while sleeping in another. If you purchase a larger crate because your dog is still growing, use a divider to make it small enough to accommodate your dog and your potty-training objective.

Wire crates are probably your best bet. They allow better air flow and better viewing for your pup. At night, you can cover the wire crate with a blanket so that you form a den like atmosphere (your dog will like this!).

Overall, crates, when used correctly, are wonderful training tools. If you really dont like the idea of a crate, then a puppy play pen might be more your speed. No matter which you choose, it is important to keep your puppy safe from potentially dangerous situations. - 20511

Can You Really Stop Dog Whining

Can You Really Stop Dog Whining

by Andyl Hannerl

Have you just adopted a puppy but your puppy just keeps on whining? Maybe your neighbors are very unhappy and are complaining to you? If your answer is yes, you are probably not sure what to do now. You still want to keep your puppy but the problems is, you don't know how to stop him from whining.

How can you really stop your dog from whining then? Here are a few ways that you might want to consider. One thing you can do is to purchase an electrical device that gives out a certain sound. This sound is only audible to a dog but is extremely unpleasant for a dog. Another method to stop your dog from whining is to stay consistent. Every time he whines, tell him to stop.

The drawback is that you will need to be there all the time, or at the very least, most of the time. However, if you give it enough time, your dog may stay quiet and stop whining once and for all. Fortunately, there are more than 1 way to stop whining as well as other inappropriate behaviors. But for the time being, we will just focus on two of those methods.

Devices

Sound devices like the one described above to make your dog stop whining don't cost that much and they don't hurt the dog. They just emit a sound that's unpleasant to the dog. Imagine if you were to hear a loud piercing squeal every time you ate junk food. Pretty soon you'd probably stop eating junk food because you couldn't bear to hear that sound ever again.

Generally, this is how those devices work to help you stop your dog from whining. If you are not too sure about the devices and how they work, or maybe you just dislike the idea of annoying your pet, or you are afraid of causing harm to your dog, don't worry. There are other alternative methods that you can use to stop your dog from whining.

Consistency In Training

The other way to make your dog stop whining is to be there whenever he starts to whine. When it does, make a loud noise or tell him no. Do not ever hit the dog. You should never hit the animal no matter what behavior he engages in.

Hitting your dog is not an effective training method anyway. There are better methods you can use to stop your pet from whining besides hitting him. You can consider clapping your hands together or slapping a newsletter against your hand to stop any inappropriate behavior your dog engages in.

Because dog ears are extremely sensitive, that's why the devices above work very well. Although you won't feel bothered by a newspaper being slap against your palm, your dog will feel bothered. So, each time you dog starts to whine, do it. Stay consistent and eventually, your dog will just stop whining. Only then can you and your neighbors enjoy the much awaited peace. - 20511

The Popular and Densely- Mustached Breed: The Standard Schnauzer

The Popular and Densely- Mustached Breed: The Standard Schnauzer

by James Russo

As a favorite subject of many classic artists, this royal-looking and wise-dispositioned dog is inarguably classic and endlessly popular. From paintings, tapestries and statues, the Standard Schnauzer is a time- proven favorite of both the past and present centuries. Not only does Rembrandt, Drer or Sir Joshua Reynolds holds an inclination for this dog but millions of fanciers too around the globe.

The Standard Schnauzer is of German origin and is the fore ancestor of the Giant Schnauzer and the Miniature Schnauzer. With more than 500 years of existence, the Standard Schnauzer is said to be one of the oldest dog breeds around the world. It existed around 1400s or 1500s Germany from the herding, ratting and guarding breeds of the Middle Ages Europe.

The term Schnauzer is a German word meaning "snout" in which the Schnauzer type is known for. In 1879, the Standard Schnauzer first appeared in a dog show in Hanover. In the year 1900, the first batch of this breed reached the United States.

Originally, the Standard Schnauzer was used as a working dog, helping farmers guard and herd the flock, accompanying them to the market, and guarding and watching over the property. As World War I broke out, the Red Cross enlisted the breed as guard dogs and they were found excellent in this feat. Today, they are used by Germany and the US as police dogs, narcotics and bomb detectors and search-and-rescue aids.

This breed is extremely energetic, agile, strong and quick to adapt. Moreover, it is very intelligent, in fact one of the most intelligent dog breeds; reliable and highly biddable. These characteristics make this dog a perfect companion for critical and official tasks.

When it comes to loyalty, this dog leads the rank and it is ever protective towards the master and his family. Although medium in size, this dog is gigantic when it comes to barking as it loudly wards off unfavorable strangers. Around friends and family, however, this breed is adoringly playful, gentle and affectionate.

Because of this dog's excessive energy, regular exercise and activities are needed in order to shake off some of its unused energy. Exercise and activities should include daily walks, playtime and other house chores. These activities, too, will work out its mind and body therefore it becomes fit emotionally and physically.

According to the Standard Schnauzer Club of America, "The Standard Schnauzer is a squarely built, very energetic, medium-sized dog with a stiff and wiry coat." The standard and only acceptable colors of the Standard Schnauzer are salt- and-pepper and black. The male breed stands 18-20 inches high, weighs 40-45 pounds and the female breed stands 17-19 inches and weighs 35-40 pounds. - 20511
