Dog Biting Problems-As Serious As It Can Get

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Of all of the dog behavior problems there are, biting is probably the most serious. If your dog pees on the rug, runs away, or goes on the couch it probably won’t be a big deal. If you dog gives someone a serious bite, however, many communities require that it be put down. Dog biting problems can literally mean the end of your dog’s life, so it is important to train your dog to never bite anyone.

On the other hand, biting problems are common and quite normal in case of puppies. This problem arises mostly during their teething period when they have an uncontrollable urge to chew and bite on anything and everything. Though a puppy bite might break your skin it will not pose any other serious problems. However, this is the right time and age to train your puppy not to bite ever again

Don’t be cruel to your dog or excessively harsh with the discipline, but let your dog no when he bites you too hard. If you dog bites you hard, pull your hand away immediately and say ouch, or bad dog, or something like that. Let him know that he has hurt you.

Most often, biting problems in dogs are caused due to psychological problems. Mostly, dogs do not bite just to hurt someone. They try to bite when they want to hold on to something or they bite to warn someone of something. They also take a bit just to play. If you do not take the effort to correct the biting problem when your dog is still a puppy, then this problem might escalate to cause grave problems

Of course, some dog biting problems occur because of aggression. You might just have a temperamentally difficult dog that gets angry and tries to hurt. If this is the case, you really need to send him to obedience school. These sorts of dog biting problems often lead to another dog being seriously injured, or even a person being hurt.

You absolutely have to take the problem completely seriously and find help even if it costs a bundle. Dog trainers can help almost any dog, but your average pet owner can’t.

If you have a pooch with biting problems in your neighborhood, the best defence is to be prepared with a bottle of pepper spray that is specially formulated to combat biting dogs. Never hesitate to use the pepper spray if any dog tries to bite you. Or, you could opt for a friendlier approach by offering a beef jerky.

Food For Fido

Tagged Under : , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Having the correct knowledge of what to feed your dog can be very confusing. Every expert out there has his own favourite canine diet and there is such a vast selection of dog food available that it can be quite overwhelming for the first time dog owner to decide what to feed.

In fact lets be honest even us long time dog owners get caught up in all the different opinions and information and who knows what is what? Think of it—-Fresh, tinned, dried, vacuum-packed ..the list is never ending. Obviously a puppy has a different food requirement from an adult and older dog so make sure that you feed the puppy the correct puppy diet from the choice of food available.

The majority of pet shops and many vets will probably advise feeding your new puppy or dog on a complete dried food which is considered nutritionally balanced. Some will suggest tinned food or vacuum packed meat products. These types of food are many and varied and are advertised as suitable for most dogs. In fact most of the advertising will suggest that it is the only way to feed your dog if you want him or her to have a long and healthy life. To discuss each and every type of manufactured food product would be a major book in itself so lets look here at another choice…the Natural diet.

This diet is structured on what your dog would eat in the wild and what wolves eat in the wild today. It is a diet based on raw meaty bones and what most people fed their dogs until the dog food manufacturers got hold about 30-40 years ago. It is the diet that your dog is designed to eat. They have the teeth to tear,shred,rip flesh and crunch bones and their stomachs are designed to digest both raw meat and raw bones. Remember that dogs are carnivores and their diet would be mostly meat and bones. They may eat the stomach contents of prey ,that is the vegetable matter but it is not a vital part of their diet and they do not need it.

Most vets will recommend one of the commercial diets as the instructions are on the packet and they do not have the time in a normal consultation to go into the benefits of natural feeding and the quantities needed. Some vets sell dried dog food and so will recommend it. Some pet food manufacturers sponsor Vet colleges so therefore the alternative ways of feeding are not given priority or even discussed and veterinary students do not learn them.

In fact to be honest many dog owners are told that raw uncooked bones are bad for their dogs. The convenience of opening a tin,or scooping out a couple of mug fulls of dried food is simple, requires no thought and suits the busy lives that many owners now lead. The fact that there is now a massive multimillion pound industry which effectively tells dog owners that they the owners couldn’t possibly work out how and what to feed their dogs on their own,has lead to increasing numbers of dog owners accepting that the manufacturers must know best and being drawn into buying commercially prepared food and artificial bones.

All tinned and processed foods have been cooked and the resulting changes in the structure of the food means that the dogs digestive system has to work much harder as it was designed to digest raw ingredients. Then there is the major effect that cooked processed food has on the dogs teeth. The majority of dogs fed on an artificial diet will have to have their dirty teeth and infected gums attended to by a Vet several times through their lives.The processed food gets stuck in the teeth causing infection. Just take a look at at your own teeth after you have eaten dried food like a biscuit…..that’s what your dogs teeth look like after eating dried pellets. Even using artificially produced teeth cleaning products will leave a deposit on the dogs teeth.! Bacteria enter the body through the diseased and infected gums and teeth and this can set up chronic infections which later may result in liver,heart or kidney problems.

Cleaning your dogs teeth is not going to remove all the gunge and honestly who is going to clean their dogs teeth twice a day! By eating raw bones the dogs floss their own teeth in the ripping and shredding action. The only teeth that need to be artificially cleaned are the canine teeth which are the teeth designed for killing the prey and are not involved in the ripping and grinding motion. Try cleaning your dogs teeth with an electric toothbrush …not as bad as you think! If you start when they are a puppy I can assure you they will get used to it.

Get Your Dog A Shrink

THE MORE I SEE OF MEN THE MORE I ADMIRE DOGS Madame De Sevigne

The are shelves and shelves of books dedicated to the nature and success of our relationship with dogs. Endless films and stories of just that testify to the nature of that bond and many of us have our own stories lodged firmly in our memories.While it has long been known of the special physical and mental health benefits of owning a dog like reduced blood pressure and increased self esteem we do not like to admit to the negative sides of owning a dog.

We are very protective of our dogs even if he is driving everyone in the neighborhood crazy with his barking. In society today we need to care for something ,we need a dog to activate us into taking exercise and to keep us in contact with nature.The dog may be the perfect receiver for the release of our caring emotions. But have we become over sold on the “dogs are good for you” theory. I do believe that sometimes there is another side to the coin and we need to look at it.

Dogs can cause a rapid and dangerous rise in blood pressure….like when you walk into your garden and those prize petunias are dug up and wilting. You come home to that darling Labrador puppy and half of that lovely rug in the living room is chewed to bits.

The toilet roll add with the small puppies comes to mind so cute except not that cute when it’s your toilet roll all over your house wrapped around the furniture. Then the overprotective dog that bites strangers who come to the house. I mean lets tell it like it is. My Jack Russel is my pride and joy but we no longer have our Window Cleaner. in fact the word must have got around because we seem to have problems finding one.

My Jack Russel is my pride and joy but we no longer have our Window Cleaner. Jack Russels are very territorial and protective and the poor unsuspecting man put his hand through a hole in the gate to get the bolt open. Quick as a flash he had his teeth sunk in. No amount of apologies and explanations of how the dog may have felt he was an intruder could overcome my embarrassment as the poor man wrapped his hand in a handkerchief assuring me he would do the windows on another day and scuttled off into his Van and out of sight.We haven’t seen him since!Word must have also got around as we are finding it difficult to secure a new window cleaner.

On many occasions dogs require utmost tolerance and patience when they are puppies and often when they are adults as well. For the dog that growls at strangers or soils indoors we can turn to training, re homing or turn to the vet to end it all. you really have to be prepared and tolerant to get through those early days.

Many of us today with all the training materials available to us are far too involved in that protective friendly relationship for such callousness but I have memories of it happening on a frequent basis in my fathers practice in the 60s.Dogs from the farm would be brought to the clinic to be put down because they had become problematic. My father not having the heart for it used to tell them to leave it with him and we would end up keeping them. At one time we had 17 dogs.

Most owners of dogs with behavior problems will put up with it than be faced with the ultimate solution. Then again what constitutes a behavior problem is highly variable. For some a single mistake on the carpet is sufficient to cause rejection while others put up with far worse without raising a hair. We all like our dogs to do what we say but it takes some work and perseverance to get there.A behavior problem is only acknowledged when the pains of owning a dog exceed the joy It brings.

Tackling problems takes time, time to look at all the factors that may be influencing the dogs behavior, the structure of its home environment and its relationship with the family and people outside the house. We need time to look at the dogs development and early upbringing in the true psychologists style of going back to childhood.So many problems have their roots in the dogs puppy hood and when we bring that lovely dog home from the kennels who knows what has gone before.No two dogs are alike, no two owners are alike and no two problems. So a broad approach is needed to identify the likely causes of the problem and decided on the treatment for each owner.

Tackling problems takes time, time to look at all the factors that may be influencing the dogs behavior, the structure of its home environment and its relationship with the family and people outside the house. We need time to look at the dogs development and early upbringing in the true psychologists style of going back to childhood.So many problems have their roots in the dogs puppy hood.Remember when you bring a dog home from the kennels who knows what has gone before and what the dog has learnt

Often the dogs behavior may need a little fine tuning for the dog and its owner to appreciate each other to the full once again.
