The Canine Genome Sequencing Project

The Canine Genome Sequencing Project (Dog Genome Project based at the Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT in Boston) has sequenced the dog genome in its entirety. One of their priority goals now is to identify the genes responsible for causing dog genetic diseases, defective genes, carrier states of hereditary disease and much more. Through using the powerful resource of the sequenced dog genome, the good folks at the Dog Genome Project hope to reverse the widespread prevalence of genetic disease in dogs worldwide.

However to achieve that noble goal they need your help! How?

Well the only means by which recessive genes and carrier states can be identified is at the genetic level (genotype) and not by visual observation of recognizable morphological traits (phenotype). To do this the Dog Genome Project staff need a large number of dog samples to analyze and that is where you, as a dog owner, can play a significant role by sending them a blood sample of your dog.

Genetic Diversity

During the process of natural selection genetic diversity is maintained, but contrastingly in selective breeding the opposite holds true; genetic diversity is reduced! Recent studies have revealed that genetic variation occurs frequently in normal populations of any species and that even those genes that are deleterious and defective are preserved in the gene pool as so-called recessive genes (recessive gene traits are not visibly apparent unlike dominant genes). It is now believed that such genetic variability confers adaptive properties to a population in the event of extreme environmental change.

Thus mutative genes that confer minimal benefit today could play a significant future role in the survival of the species in which it occurs. This could explain why defective or mutative genes are preserved as recessive genes in a population's gene pool. A good example illustrating the beneficial role recessive genes can confer to a population is the case of the English Peppered moth.

Like a large number of insects the Peppered moth relies on its color to camouflage it from predators. The dominantly prevalent grayish color of the Peppered moth allows it to blend in with its environment which so happen to be tree trunks and lichen of like color. Although lighter and darker shades of the moth exist, few of such individuals survive for the simple reason their camouflaging abilities are less effective.

However with the advent of the industrial revolution in the late 19th century the resultant pollution darkened the tree trunks such that the minority recessive trait which conferred a darker shade of gray to the moths became dominant because such moths were then better able to avoid predation. As pollution levels subsequently decreased the tree trunks gradually reverted to their normal color and so also did the color of the Peppered moth revert back to its pre-industrialization gray. Thus once again the recessive dark-gray color in the moth reverted to its usual minority role!

Gene Pool And Population Factors

A population may be described as a breeding group that possesses gene continuity from one generation to the next. Currently a growing body of dog experts believe that the dog evolved as a new species from the wolf to occupy a developing niche about 15,000 years ago. That developing niche revolved around human waste dumps; opportunistic wolves began inhabiting those waste dumps for easily available food supplies.

All told, 15,000 years on the evolutionary scale is an extremely brief period for a new species to evolve from another, suggesting that there must have been a considerable amount of inbreeding amongst those opportunistic waste-dump-frequenting wolves to propagate the tameness trait in so short a time span! Compounding this issue of limited genetic pool, a growing number of dog researchers now believe that the original genetic ancestry of the dog evolved from only three female wolves that inhabited China several thousand years ago (the so called eves of dog evolution).

The important point to note here is that even before mankind began his intensive trait-specific breeding program of the dog, and due to its unorthodox super-accelerated evolution, the dog gene pool right from the get go was rather limited!

The Scary Reality of Dog Genetic Disease

The prevalence of genetic disease in dogs today can only be described as alarmingly common which is bad news for dog owners and dog lovers alike. The following is a list to illustrate the magnitude of the problem:

1. On average all dogs carry at least 4-5 defective genes.

2. Over 500 genetic diseases have been identified in dogs.   

3. Hip Dysplasia (HD) (an inherited orthopedic disease that may result in the dog becoming lame) commonly occurs in 60 dog breeds and occurs less frequently in another 110 breeds; thus this disease is seen in over 170 breeds of dog.

4. 119 dog breeds are commonly afflicted with progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), a disease that quite often leads to blindness in the affected animal.

5. Of all the dog breeds the Poodle suffers from the most number of genetic diseases…145! The reason why the Poodle is predisposed to so many genetic diseases is because not only are there 3 distinct sizes of Poodle in this breed, the large count of disease is a reflection of the popularity of this dog breed. By and large a good rule of thumb is, the more popular a dog breed the greater the number of genetic diseases inherent in that breed.

6. Several popular dog breeds are linked to over 100 genetic diseases.

7. These days dog breeders spend well over $500,000,000 annually in an effort to address this disturbing trend of genetic disease in man's best friend.

As it is all the various dog breeds that exist today were artificially created; in other words each and every dog breed was selectively bred for a particular trait, be it coat color, coat length, sniffing ability, shortness of stature (miniatures), facial appearance and so forth…the list is virtually endless. The means by which those desired traits were obtained was to selectively breed that population of dogs that most strongly exhibited the desired trait; a breeding strategy that is otherwise known as inbreeding!

Dog

Dog behavior can be difficult to understand, especially for pet owners. Some dogs will chase each other all over the street, sniff each other’s bottoms, and then do a few nasty things that may or may not result in a litter of pups. Other dogs will growl at other dogs, bare their teeth, and then snap at other dogs. The latter behavior can be disconcerting to pet owners who are fond of walking their dogs, but who are afraid of alienating themselves from other pet owners who have less aggressive canines.

Dog breeders and owners describe this canine-canine war as dog aggression, which is technically a dog’s intent to do harm to another dog. Dog snap at other dogs is only one display of aggression, and it comes in the category of loud barking and growling at other dogs. Dogs show aggression not so much because they want to hurt another dog, but because they are defending themselves from potential harm. Such defense tactics are undertaken by dogs to gain a higher status over a potential rival, or simply because of built in instincts or traits that make them feel that they are dominant versus other dogs. Some dogs may also develop hormonal imbalance, prompting them to exercise dominance over other dogs by showing dog aggression.

Aggression is common, although some breeds such as bulls and terriers are more likely to display aggression as they age. If a dog starts off life as an abused or attacked pup, then he may be fearful of other dogs and thus exercise defense-based aggression or snap at other dogs. In particular, dogs can be aggressive toward dogs or objects that resemble anything that threatened or attacked them in the past. If your dog snap at other dogs, therefore, may simply be a sign that your dog is defending his or her territory, or is remembering something in his or her past.

If your dog continues to snap at other dogs, then you might want to take a look at the following tips to help you control your dog. If all else fails, take your dog to the vet or a canine behavior specialist for more information on how he or she can be made less aggressive or harmful.

– When dogs lack exercise, they can have a lot of pent up energy, and can actually be more emotionally and mentally unstable. Take your dog out often and make him or her exercise by jogging together, or by playing fetch in the park. This can allow your dog to use up all the energy that he or she has, giving him or her less time and resources to snap at other dogs.

– If you have a puppy, discipline him or her and start him or her on a disciplined life without abusing him or her. A well-disciplined dog is less likely to do harm, and certainly less likely to snap at other dogs.

– If you prefer a dog that is docile and quiet, then you might want to select a breed beforehand that is not prone to snap at other dogs or other forms of dog aggression. Choose toy dogs or retrievers if you have little time to undertake any disciplinary measures. If you are an experienced breeder or trainer, however, then go for terriers and bulls, but be sure to instill discipline early.

– Act as a dominant owner. If a dog senses that he or she is dominant in your house, or the seeming owner of it, then it can turn itself into the alpha dog and establish itself as the leader of your pack. It can then think that it has the license to snap at other dogs and display aggression.

– As much as possible, keep only one dog at home. The more dogs you have, the more defensive your dog will become, and the more likely he or she is to display aggressive behavior or snap at other dogs.

5 Things That Embarrass Dog Owners

We all want to be proud of our dogs.  That's one of the reasons we get a dog.  We love them and they become almost like a child in some cases.  You can see bumper stickers that say "My Dog Is Smarter Than Your Honor Student."  How embarrassing is it then when your dog does something that makes you want to crawl into a hole?  You've been telling people how smart, how cute, how wonderful your dog is and as soon as they see your dog he does something you hate.

 

1. Jumping on people.  One of the embarrassing things some dogs do is jumping on people.  Whether you're out for a walk or your dog jumps on people when they walk in your door, this is embarrassing behavior.  It's a clear sign that your overly-enthusiastic dog seems to be out of control.

 

What can you do to stop the jumping behavior?  One of the best things you can do to head off jumping behavior is teach your dog the Sit command when she is preparing to jump.  It's best to practice this in a confined area at first.  Practice when it's just you and your dog.  Make sure she already knows Sit.  When she starts to jump on you tell her to Sit.  Depending on how excited she is it may take a few tries to get this right but it will work.  Make sure you praise her and give her a reward she really enjoys, whether it's treats, a favorite toy or lots of petting and attention.

 

Once your dog is reliably sitting when she starts to jump on you, you can practice having a friend or family member ring your doorbell or knock on your door.  Your dog may get very excited again and prepared to jump on them when they enter.  Practice having her sit before opening the door.  Again, this may take some practice but your dog should get the idea that she is supposed to sit instead of jump.  If nothing else, she should be responding to your command to Sit.

 

Eventually you will move on to the hardest part — teaching your dog to politely sit when she has the urge to jump up on someone she meets in the street or elsewhere.  This is an uncontrolled situation so you should always have your dog leashed when you're out.  Make sure that your dog gives you a perfect Sit at home when she has the urge to jump before you try this outside your home.

 

2. Lunging at Dogs.  It's very embarrassing, not to mention rather dangerous, to have your dog lunging at other dogs when you're out for a walk.  The best way to prevent this problem is by making sure that you socialize any puppy well from an early age.  However, if you have a dog that is already lunging at other dogs or people, it's a little late for socialization.  You need to take steps to keep your dog from hurting anyone.  You may want to consider whether you should be walking your dog in public and whether you are able to control him.

 

You should consider whether your dog could have any kind of veterinary condition causing him to lunge or behave aggressively toward others.  Your vet may be able to find a physical cause for your dog's behavior.  If not, then you need to consider possible behavioral problems.  If your dog lunges at other dogs (or people) on an ongoing basis then you may wish to ask your vet to recommend a dog behaviorist.  They may be able to work with your dog and find the problem.

 

There are some things you can do yourself if your dog lunges at other dogs.  Consider a properly fitted muzzle or head collar.  A head collar such as a Halti or Gentle Leader is not a good choice for every dog but it does give added control over dogs that lunge and pull their owners.  You should be careful about possible neck injuries to your dog when he's wearing a head collar.

 

Avoid walking where there may be loose or stray dogs.  Your lunging dog doesn't need an added reason to pull on the leash.

 

Walk your dog in quiet neighborhoods and more controlled settings.

 

3. Constant Barking.  One thing that frequently embarrasses people with their neighbors is a dog that barks constantly.  If your dog is a nuisance barker and you're outside yelling at him to shut up, the neighbors can become annoyed with both of you very quickly, especially when they're trying to sleep.

 

Dogs often bark because they are bored, lonely or frustrated. But there are some dogs that seem to bark to hear the sound of their own voice.  The best advice to deal with barking dogs is to make sure that all of their needs are being met on a regular basis.  Take away their reasons to bark.  Make sure that your dog gets lots of exercise — tired dogs take naps.  Make sure that your dog has plenty of fun toys.  And, very importantly, spend time training your dog.  Obedience training can help keep a dog mentally fit — the opposite of boredom. Spending time training your dog also means that you're spending time together.  When your dog is having all of his needs met he will, hopefully, have less to bark about.

 

If your dog still stands in the backyard and barks at least he will have had a little obedience training.  When you tell him to "Come!" you have a better chance of him actually obeying you and coming inside where he will be quiet.

Mini Italian

Hi, Today we have noticed a huge change in our 10 week old Mini Italian Greyhound puppy (Tattoo) normally he has his little bursts of energy and then he's asleep for a couple hours. Well today he's been pretty lazy sleeping most of the day. Tonight I went to move him and he started yelping like CRAZY!!! I checked him over and nothing felt out of place or different. It doesn't matter where he is touched he yelps. He did fall this morning but has been walking fine when we put him down on the floor. I noticed his eatting has changed a little. Could this be because of teething? This has me really scared because I don't know how to soothe him. I've trying almost everything. Anyone have any Idea's??? I would be greatful of any insight that anyone has to offer.

Why Your Dog Is Eating Everything In Sight ？

Before you can train your dog to stop his destructive chewing habits, you must first identify the type of chewing that your pet is demonstrating. There are different reasons why puppies and dogs engage in this habit, as well as a variety of ways to fix the problem. Therefore, identifying the type of destructive chewing is an important step in eliminating the issue.

There are different motivational factors for chronic and destructive chewing. The most common types are:

1. Puppy chewers2. Spiteful chewers3. Jealousy chewers4. Boredom chewers

Puppies chew mainly for two reasons: to explore their new world and to soothe their aching gums during the teething stage. Dogs between the ages of six to eighteen months have a different motivation to chew: boredom (although this motivator can also apply to puppies as well).

Most dogs who are going through their adolescent stage have high amounts of ener! gy in their systems. This energy, when not utilized or given the proper channel, can result in problem behaviors like destructive chewing. Chewing out of boredom between puppyhood and adulthood usually occur because the newness and excitement of the pet's presence in the home wears off. The family does not pay as much attention to them as they used to when he was still a puppy.

A different motivating factor that's responsible for problem-chewing is jealousy. This usually occurs in adult dogs. It could be caused by having a new pet in the household, or because the family has turned their attention to something else, thereby, causing the dog to feel alienated.

For example, if you keep catching your dog chewing on your books, it's very likely that he thinks that the books cause you to spend less time with him. The same reason can be stated for dogs who like chewing on their owners' shoes. Our beloved pets felt that the shoes were res! ponsible for alienating the owner's attention. Each time! you lea ve the house, the dog sees those shoes "going with you" and he will take his jealousy and frustration out on those shoes at any chance possible.

In this case, the best way to eliminate destructive chewing is as simple as spending more time with your dog. Spend ten or fifteen minutes with your pet before you start reading. Take him for a nice stroll, or maybe brush his coat before leaving the house. Most of the time, all it takes is giving your dog personal attention to get rid of these bad behaviors.

anal glands

If you own a dog you may have heard the term 'anal glands' and wondered what it is, and if it is a normal part of all dogs. The answer is yes; all dogs have anal glands. In most cases there are no problems associated with these structures, unless they become filled, and in which case, they become uncomfortable. In fact, infections and other problems can result from this situation.

 

Anal glands are small sac like structures that are located near the anus. There is one gland on each side of the anal region. The glands have openings that are located just inside the anus. Anal glands hold a liquid substance until the animal defecates, and at that time the liquid is normally secreted, or expressed from the glands, along with the feces.

 

Fear, nervousness, or even excitement can also result in the expression of this foul smelling, dark colored liquid. As a result it may be seen under the animal's tail, or near the rectum, or even on the floor near the pet.

 

Over-filling and/or inadequate emptying of the anal glands is not uncommon in dogs. When the glands are full the pet will begin to feel a discomfort in the anal region and strive to relieve that distress. Dogs are sometimes seen scooting their behinds across the floor in an effort to relieve the symptoms. Other times they will bite or lick at the area surrounding the anus and under the tail. Additionally, some dogs will keep their tail tucked down and under, or between their legs when they feel discomfort related to their anal glands.

 

Fortunately, the liquid can be manually expressed from the anal glands. One method is external manual expression. This involves squeezing the area on either side of the anus to 'milk' or force the fluid out of the anal glands. The other method is internal manual expression which involves inserting a finger inside the rectum of the dog and using another finger on the outside, with the anal glands between the fingers. Execution of either method should result in visible excretion of the fluid exiting the anal glands openings. Groomers and veterinarians are experienced in this procedure.

 

Allowing the fluid to continue to build without emptying the sacs can eventually result in the fluid changing consistency, from a fluid liquid to a much thicker substance that is even more difficult to express. At this point it is best to seek professional assistance from a veterinarian. If left unattended the anal glands can become infected and other problems can develop.

 

Depending on the severity of the resulting problems the dog may need to have flushing treatments of the anal glands and treatments with antibiotics, which may involve sedation, as well as pain medication. If the anal glands become repeatedly filled and problems continue it is possible that surgical removal will be suggested. The removal can sometimes result in (temporary or permanent) fecal incontinence.

dog wouldn’t learn anything?

How many times have you heard somebody complain that their dog wouldn't learn anything?  They may say their dog is dumb or their dog won't listen to them.  Yet as soon as someone else tries to teach the dog something the dog learns right away.  How do we explain these cases?  Has the dog suddenly gotten very smart?  Probably not.

 

The truth is that a lot of dog training depends on the attitude of the trainer.  If you approach training your dog with the belief that you can't do it or that your dog is not smart or is unable to learn anything, then most likely training won't go well.

 

Your attitude about training and your dog is more important that anything else.  It's more important than the equipment you buy, the training system you choose, or even the breed of dog.  If you have the wrong outlook about training it is likely doomed to fail.

 

Dogs are very social animals.  They love human companionship.  If you approach them in the right way they can be very receptive to learning nearly anything and they will want to do things to please you.  That's why a good attitude is so important on your part when it comes to training your dog.  When you are positive and pleasant your dog will respond the same way.  When you're excited about teaching your dog, your dog will be excited about learning.  A dog reflects your attitude, so if you have a good attitude about training your dog will have the same attitude.

 

A good attitude about training can also make the training experience much more enjoyable for both the owner and the dog.  You will be able to give better instruction and the dog will be able to learn more.  You will both benefit.

 

To achieve the best results in training your dog you should try to maintain a positive perspective.  Keep a mood that makes training fun for both you and the dog.  Otherwise you can be looking at a disaster.  You can keep this positive attitude with any kind of quality training method.  Good training requires positive reinforcement, which utilizes praise and affection.  These are best given by someone with a positive attitude.  Training can be offered with lots of encouragement and praise — key components of training.  All of these things are best done with a positive attitude.

 

You can be both firm and positive at the same time.  You don't have to be angry or lose your temper with your dog.  You don't have to adopt a severe tone during training.  You don't have to try to pretend to be mad.  You can simply move from your normal upbeat tone to a serious tone.  A lower, serious tone will be enough for your dog to understand that he has not done something correctly.  There's no need to overdo things.  Dogs are sensitive animals.  Then you can return to the normal praise and instruction in a positive, happy tone of voice.  Your dog will be very happy and motivated to learn with this kind of interaction.

 

You should always keep in mind that training your dog should be fun for both you and your dog.  When it's not fun for you it won't be fun for your dog.  It should be just as much fun for you as for your dog.  You should be trying to make the training process both exciting and enjoyable.  Make the training itself a reward for the dog — something that he looks forward to everyday.  It should be fun for him to spend this special time for you.  In this way your dog will be motivated to learn and perform.

 

If your training is a mandatory task, something that you and your dog are doing by rote, you should rethink why you are training your dog.  Unless you are excited about the training your dog won't be excited either.  You should be happy about spending this time together.  If training is a chore then don't be surprised if your dog doesn't learn.  These are negative attitudes and no one learns well with a negative attitude.

 

If you pursue training your dog with a negative attitude or with harsh methods your dog will not learn well and it's doubtful that you will enjoy the training yourself.  Try training with a positive attitude and you will see a great difference.

 

Look for the fun in training your dog.  Try training with a positive attitude and enjoy spending time with your dog.  Your attitude is all important for your dog's success.  Your dog can't do it without you.

Improve Your Dog’s Health

Most of the health problems that dogs face these days are due to the lack of proper healthy food. Many pet owners think that by buying their pets good quality food they will waste money. It is not true, because the illness the dog gets from bad food will be much more expensive to treat.

The vets are always advising you on buying healthy, approved food. There are many commercial pet food manufacturers that are motivated to create the best food and they compete over the healthiest ingredients. Also, if you get a dog from the breeder, he will tell you which types of food you must buy and which you should avoid.

There are many breeds that have special food requirements. There are also many people that say a natural diet is the best: bones and meat. They also say that raw meat is preferred because some minerals will not get destroyed in the cooking process.

One of the reasons why commercial food is prefer! red by many people, besides the convenience aspect, is the fact that it has many nutrients that are excellent for your dog's health. You can not have the same nutrients in a cooked or raw piece of meat. The manufacturers add minerals and vitamins into the food. There are many types of nutrient rich food and you can find it in supermarkets or pet shops.

It is highly recommended to mix some raw bones with dry food. Occasionally you can add some pasta and rice and even quality food.

There is almost no need to say how important the food is for a dog as it maintains its health and helps him perform. If the dog lacks vitamins and minerals he could get into serious health problems. Plus, good bones and dry food are also helping the dog clean its teeth and satisfy his impulsive need to chew on things.

Also, do not try to feed the dog only meet and bones. If you do not give him cereals or other source of carbohydrate, you could cause some severe d! eficiency and the dog can become sick, lethargic and sad.

Yo u will say that in the wild, dogs eat only meat but that is not true. They also eat vegetables that they find in the nature. The vegetables help with the digestive track. Sometimes they also eat wild fruits and plants.

So, from time to time, give your dog some cereals, some vegetables and fruits. There are even dogs that like fruits as much as they like candy and they will eat them without problems. If you see that he doesn't like it, you can start by feeding it small pieces of carrots and apples. In time, he will get used to it, as long as you persevere.

So keep in mind these simple advices and try to give your dog the best healthy meal that you can. The dog's health depends on this food you are giving the dog every day. Consult specialists and do research online to see the best dog food you could get.

Let your dogs swim

Dogs are happy when they see other dogs. Dogs are happy when they see other dogs. A swimming pool measured 15 feet long and 4 feet wide. JOHOR BAHRU, JOHOR: Humans need to exercise to prevent sickness and it applies to your doggies, too.

Jack Russell puppy.

Just when I was at the end of a long and fraying rope, all of a sudden, Lance is finally "getting it." All day there has only been one little puddle on the floor. Every other time, he has hit the paper for both "jobs." I took him and Lara out for a 3 block long walk and he was "a little trooper!" He walks really well on the leash and he's never been taught any leash training. When we got home, the little guy was so tuckered out that he headed straight to his bed for a nap!!!

Cat pesking and senior dog pesking are still a work in progress but, slowly but surely, he's learning. He always comes when he's called even when we're out in the park and he's learned to sit for a cookie. Not too shabby for a 4 month old puppy!!!

I'm so glad now that Kim (my breeder) talked me into not giving up on him!!! BTW, he is getting cuter every day!!!

DOG Apologizes !

The "shoplifting dog" has come forward to own-up to the crime of store theft. —– [FEB 2009]. Shoplifting dog identified; family makes restitution: [FEB 06 2009] Mystery solved, suspect in custody! We finally know who pulled off a canine caper that generated news stories, and laughter, around the globe. The "shoplifting dog" has finally come forward and faced up to the crime. Returning to the scene of the crime in a Hummer, Akira took it easy this time, riding instead of walking.

Fdse DOG

Fdse is a gorgeous male German Shepherd cross aged around 3 years. He's very easy to walk, the kennels describe him as "a really nice dog" and is incredibly friendly greeting you with a waggy tail and friendly face. Fdse can be a bit grumpy with other dogs so would probably be best rehomed as the only canine in the family.

Fdse has the most fantastic ears which are huuuggee and is really unusual being very German Shepherd but with a brindle coat! A dog to stand out from the others in the park.

Dodde

Dodde is approximately 16 months old and a female Staffordshire Bull Terrier. Dodde has been described by the kennels as having "a lovely temperament" and is good with other dogs.Dodde is a really lovely all rounder and is pictured here enjoying some love from a ten year old.

She is an absolute poppet who you cannot fail to fall in love with. The vet is convinced Dodde has recently had pups and as she ended up as an unwanted stray in the dog pound we can only guess someone used to her breed from and dumped her once she had finished her job. This fantastic girl really didn't deserve that fate as she is so lovely

Lulu

Lulu is a pretty little 1 year old Labrador Retriever. She came to us as a stray so we know little about her background. She seems fun and friendly and will need a home with lots of love and exercise.

During training

During training, it may be necessary to punish a dog. However, there are some very bad punishment methods that you must never use. Here is a list of safe punishments that you can administer to a dog within 10 seconds of it committing a crime. Delaying a punishment will cause confusion because the dog will not understand all the cruelty and will not associate it with the wrong doing.

1) Deny it treats – these are treats that it normally gets for good behavior

2) Time out from an activity

3) Take away its toys – For a short period of time

4) Ignoring the dog – and isolating it from the family members as well.

Dogs are very friendly creatures but the main problem now is that there are very many of them now, with more being born every day. To train the dog properly, it requires proper treatment, positive reinforcement an! d hygienic environments.

Dog Training

Dogs are very popular pets all over the world, no wonder they are referred to as man's best friend. They have very many characteristics including the fact that almost everyone can find a type of dog to adore. However, no matter the type of dog that a dog owner prefers, the first important step in peaceful and fun coexistence is having a smooth relationship with the family. The second step is training the dog. A dog which is not trained can be very disruptive and even destructive in a family.

A dog will be an obedient and loyal companion once it is trained. What can be more beautiful than a dog that will follow you diligently to the park on the leash, does not jump or bark at visitors or even leave its droppings at the doorstep? A well trained dog should have proper etiquette when there are visitors around, takes instructions, knows what to do and when to do it, and best of all, does what it is told to do. Since do! gs are pack animals, they always look up to a leader. It is vital to make the dog understand that you are the leader of the pack and not it your leader.

Before starting any other training, the first two things a dog must learn are housebreak and obedience training. Housebreak is teaching a dog where to relieve itself to avoid leaving its poop all over the house or other unacceptable paces. Obedience training is important to instill respect and chain of command to the dog. You can train a dog to be obedient from the time it is 49 days old. Once they have mastered these two, you may now go ahead and teach it basic tricks and any other fun training.

One thing you will learn fast is that dogs will always be trying to please their masters and will appreciate little treats and recognition whenever they do something right. The most common tricks you can teach your dog include "Sit", "Lie", "Shake", "Fetch" and &#8! 220;Play dead". With time, you can introduce it to compl! ex play games like catch the Frisbee, flip a treat from the nose to the mouth and chase a tennis ball.

Dogs allergic

Your dog may have an allergic reaction to anything at any time.  He can even have an allergic reaction tomorrow to the dog food that he's eaten all his life. He can have a reaction to the detergent that you use to wash your blankets.  He may suddenly have a reaction to the grass in your yard.  As a matter of fact, you may suddenly develop an allergy to you dog.

 

What causes allergic reactions?  An allergic reaction is the body's response to an "invader."  Your body, or your dog's body, mounts a defense against what it perceives to be as an attacker — whether it's a flea bite or the corn in his dog food.  That defense can be a rash, hives, itching, watery eyes, and so on.  The body is reacting to the offending allergen by trying to get rid of it in some way.  Yes, the body is overreacting, but that goes along with having an allergic reaction to something.

 

Why does a dog or someone develop an allergy when they haven't been allergic previously?  Their body may suddenly decide that something that they previously accepted is no longer acceptable.  The body may suddenly have an intolerance for a specific ingredient. Whatever the body is allergic to, it may only take a very small amount to get a big reaction.

 

Dogs are most commonly allergic to flea bites which results in flea bite dermatitis — itching, redness, rash, and loss of hair around the rear quarters and over the tail.  According to one vet, for a dog with flea bite dermatitis, or an allergy to fleas, if one flea bites a dog on the nose, the dog will itch like crazy around his tail.  This allergy makes a dog miserable.  Good flea control is absolutely essential for a dog that is allergic to fleas.

 

Dogs are also commonly allergic to some typical ingredients in dog food.  One of the most common ingredients in dog food is corn in various forms.  Corn can be found as whole corn, ground corn, corn meal, corn gluten meal and so on. If your dog is allergic to corn he will react to any of these kinds of corn. You may have to read the ingredient labels carefully to find some of the corn since it can be slipped in almost unnoticeably.

 

Dogs may be allergic to other grains and cereals in dog food, so you may need to try your dog on different foods to gage his reaction.

 

Dogs can also be allergic to different kinds of meat protein.  Some dogs are now allergic to chicken or lamb since these have been so commonly used as primary dog food ingredients. If your dog is allergic to one of these meat ingredients there are plenty of other meat proteins from which to choose.  Some dog food companies specialize in making foods with novel proteins such as emu meat, kangaroo, venison and others.

 

If your dog is on good flea control and you have tried different foods but you still suspect that your dog is suffering from allergies, it's time to see the vet. Your vet can test your dog to see what he may be allergic to.  It could be a cleaning product, something you use in your yard, or one of a dozen other things that we use daily. Your vet will be able to help you identify the cause of your dog's allergy.

 

Allergies are a problem for both people and pets but they can be overcome with a little effort. By identifying the cause of the allergy we can eliminate it and make our dogs much happier.

Reputable breeders

Reputable breeders are willing to discuss the ancestry of a puppy, as well as the medical history. In most cases both parent dogs will be available for you to see (or at least the mother), when you visit. Additionally, many of these breeders will provide a puppy starter package that includes a sample of the food the puppy has been eating, and often may also include such items as a blanket that has been used by the momma dog, the puppy and his littermates, plus a toy.

 

Because these items have the scent of the puppy's siblings and mother they are comforting to him. Many times these simple touches can make the difference between a smooth adjustment to a new home and several sleepless nights due to a lonely crying puppy. Speaking of problems with a new puppy, most breeders will suggest that you contact them with any questions regarding how to care for your puppy.

Making the decision

Making the decision to add a new puppy to your family isn't one that should be taken lightly. Many adjustments will be made by the family as well as the puppy. After all, the little pup will be leaving his momma, his littermates and the only humans he has ever known. But if the puppy has gotten a good start in life with a reputable breeder he is much more likely to have an easy time adjusting to his new permanent home.

Choosing a dog for family

Choosing a dog for family

Dog on the owner's loyalty, from the emotional foundations of point of view, there are two sources: first, the mother of dependency and trust; second, the group leader of obedience. That is to say, the dog's loyalty to the master, in fact, is a dog or group of leaders, the mother of the faithful as a replacement. From the origin point of view, the modern family dog can be divided into two categories: Jackal and the Wolf kinds of blood lineage. Jackal blood of the faithful dog, the main source of emotional with the first one linked, that is, mainly out of the mother's attachment to the trust; such mothers, which can be expressed in any one of its friendly people. Wolf kinds of descent of the loyal dog, mainly with the second source of emotion linked, that is, mainly out of the group leader of the dog obedience Tadanori; kind of leader, the dog is a lifetime of only one. In this way, loyal to these two different origins of the dog run, and will have a different meaning. Jackal origin of the dog, the so-called loyalty to its master, it refers to all the friendly people that loyalty, while the wolf dog kinds of origin, the so-called loyalty to its master, then refers to an owner or individual owner loyalty. Jackal blood dog can be loyal to all of its friendly people, said that this "loyalty", for a particular host, it should be disloyal. Wolf kinds of dog blood, because life is only loyal to one master, so it can be said that the wolf dog right kinds of Hu dogs more loyal than the owner. The reason why these two kinds of origin, the loyalty of a dog there is such a distinction is rooted in the genes of these two dogs are different.

Dog Smart

Dogs are very pass humanity. This species is said that dogs come to earth in order to posters home care homes, so the dog world, there are too many on the Savior, the Lord's moving story of loyalty. My father likes raising animals, when I've got a great dog and a curly-haired dog, but also raise a lot of other animals. When the elderly father is no longer raising animals, he said, afraid that they die when their unbearable suffering.

Chongqing Evening News January 4 article on the reports of dogs being reproduced in many places, and saw very inner thoughts and feelings. Reported that early morning of January 3, in Chongqing's Cultural Palace back door rental housing ago, faced with single-minded take their drinks to kill the owner, a dog did not choose to escape, but the owner chose to kneel and Qiming tears . Kneeling more than 1 hours, despite the shivering, but did not run away. This is how the scene!

Small Animal Protection Association Volunteer Xiaohong said at 23:00 on the 2nd or so, small animal rescue hotline, surnamed Chen Ayi received a phone call from "a very human dog pass, knees pleading for his life to the owner, the owner is not The client was incensed over it ... ... "Chen said that in the Cultural Palace near the back door of the rental housing migrant workers in front of a dog and teenagers, two front legs on his knees, tears helplessly watching the masters do not ask, do not run. To be used to kill the knife, they put aside.

Xiao-hong said, "At that moment, a lot of onlookers spontaneously become its protector, help to its plea." Logic full of migrant workers, said that dogs are fed their own large, post-mortem is to winter drinks. Migrant workers who said, "it was too pass humanity, and has tears in his eyes knees, kneeling over one hours, despite shivering, but did not escape." He said the dog was just a scene kneel seen Ms. Chen, and waited at the next to negotiate with their own, in order to plead for the dog, nearly 20 onlookers also help to intercede. Although, his mouth and spoke: "It is too pass humanity," and "a matter of fact, see its appearance, I do not have the heart to kill." But accept it or volunteers of the Small Animal Protection Association to pay them a small macro 60 Yuan redemption fees, only put him this morning till evening, he gave loneliness brought warm and happy dog a way out. If there is no pay for it?

It's not over until the Small Animal Protection Association volunteers, Xiao-hong hold their money or ransom it, the sword is not to stand up to escape dog jumping tits, but tears still kneeling there, looking helplessly to kill it owner, could not bear to leave. Xiao-hong, said yesterday (3) a day, this just arrived in small animal shelter dogs without food base, based on their years of experience to judge dogs, it has the nostalgia! This modern version of the "human" heart and "dog" in sharp contrast to the heart can not let us think and reflect on.

Dog sick

Means of three pollution of the environment to increase chances of becoming sick

Pet Hospital BATH never disinfect cages and is up and washing with water, the ground is not sterilized in order to increase the chances of becoming sick the other dog. Suffering from acute infectious disease of dogs of its faeces, urine and saliva contains a lot of viruses, does not disinfect the virus into the hospital library. Your puppy could have been to see that kind of environment for minor illnesses may be passing on to one of the major diseases. Some black heart hospitals to infectious diseases of the dog dead bodies were disposed at the hospital around that they become a source of infection. Under natural conditions the virus in the dog's body can survive for at least five years. Living in the surrounding dog can be considered trouble. Hospital Daoshi rich. Many dog owners bring their own dog to the pet hospital bath. We paid attention to without their dog a bath towel is never sterile, and not because of laziness is to pass mites and skin diseases. As long as the dog has mites all the other dogs will sooner or later pass, fungi more easily infected, the consequences can imagine. Hospitals can "cure to save the dog," the.

    "Anti-triad Unit Five" Tianjin Pet Hospital hoax Exposed

If you ask people what the industry is the largest profits industry, and most people may not know that we have to tell you to open Pet Hospital is the largest of the lucrative industry. You may ask: We know that pets medical care is quite expensive, but the hospital require a high pet-related knowledge, how drugs are also quite expensive which is the largest lucrative industry? We are "anti-triad of the Working Group," After all pet hospital in Tianjin, "conducted a thorough investigation" as we opened the various tricks of the hospital and your pet can not think of a means of profiteering.

Pet hospitals are one who is open?

Tianjin Pet Hospital, the following category of persons. 1; the past, dog traffickers. Most of them are locals living in the past in order to buy a dog and found a lot of money to open Pet Hospital, which opened the hospital after the switch. They do not have any expert knowledge when relying on the past, traders have come to the dog's "little knowledge" of the so-called technology, open a hospital doctor dog can be seen as what we all think about it. 2; foreign farmers. We entered into the Pet Hospital, a doctor must find that the majority of outsiders. They have been farming village of dirt farmers or veterinarians, now transformed to become a pet doctor. Their knowledge of many dealers do not like dogs. 3; the so-called professionals. They really studied the relevant courses to veterinary professionals in itself, but we must not think of the various fraudulent means to the majority of it is precisely their "invention."

2; business area looks pretty much the decoration of the Pet Hospital, is not the formal deceiving people?

Some hospitals rent a few hundred square meters of facade decoration is also very decent to everyone's intuition seems to be normal, but we think

This facade million in rent on a month, plus renovation costs at all costs a lot of pet should never see a doctor who earned back, some of the boss known as stem 3 months will be able to recover their investments. So they cheat Qiren Lai is unscrupulous, figure 100.

Let us all reveal their deceptive means 11 bar

Means a disease that did not sick, minor illnesses that seriously ill

Pet Hospital, in order to earn more money without the disease will invariably say that sick pets to a minor illness into a serious illness that has a slight dog vomiting and Diarrhea phenomena there are only a general indigestion. Has a slight cough dense vegetation and the nose there are only ordinary cold, but they say that an See vomiting Diarrhea is a small virus, a cough, see Blast sieve say is a dog day, so even an injection fluid in the continuous treatment of at least one or two hundred a week you went to more than 1000 pieces of his pocket. If I give you a puppy with the monoclonal antibody or other biological agents they making profit, but most of the time point of these expensive drugs did not give you to spend, but money is one more excuse for Bale . Is even more appalling is that your dog really suffering from distemper, or parvovirus, when they are still only in order to reduce the cost of money does not give you medication, anyway dog owners have no way to know what medicine they are used in the end. Not care about life and death of pet hospital puppy they want to just make money. Some dog owners say that my dog made in his laboratory, where they say the disease is the ah, but tests can also be cheating. General laboratory tests have now been using a one-off case, there is a real positive for the two red lines appeared only a red line which was negative. They appear a red line is called a weak virus infection, the fact is no such thing as a weak virus infection this view it is their own idea of the name for Bale in order to deceive. Positive is positive, nothing negative is a weak negative virus is not a weak virus.

The means to make two fake vaccine or vaccine failure

Many dog owners have for their own dog vaccination in order to prevent the dog's acute infectious disease, but if the hospital does not get sick pets will not make money, so they came up with this trick. Method One IMPACT seedlings. They give you a puppy play is not a vaccine but a distilled water or what vitamins because you did not see him light to see an injection pump of the syrup from there. Experienced dog owners will ask the person taking the vaccine after the injection, when they were using two methods to make the vaccine ineffective. Vaccines need to freeze imports of Chinese-made vaccines that they need a vaccine refrigeration temperature delegated all the long period of time before freezing or refrigerating the failure of such a vaccine to fight, and do not play the same. If your dog got sick after they played the vaccine would say that is because the virus is too strong because of their hands and feet.
