Three Ways Rottweiler Say “I love you”

How do Rottweiler show affection? As a loyal and devoted companion, a Rottweiler becomes deeply attached to his owners and can show his affection in many different ways.

Read on to unlock the ways Rottweiler say “I love you.”

Like snowflakes, there are no two Rottweilers alike, they all come with their own distinct personalities, and those who own more than one, can attest to that. Some Rottweilers are reserved, while others are more outgoing and deliberate in their affectionate displays. Regardless of their personalities, most Rottweilers boast one distinctive perk: they love to be near you, and if possible, in the same room and in close contact with you. While all dogs show affection to their favorite people, Rottweilers seem to do it in their own, unique ways.

Three Ways Rottweiler Say “I love you”

Your Rottweiler of course will never tell you “I love you” nor will he buy you a Hallmark card with those words printed on it. As we have seen in a previous article, dogs don’t exchange kisses or hugs amongst them as we do with each other, but many tolerate them from us (and some enjoy them too) because they were conditioned to it. And what about when your Rottweiler slurps your face like if you were a giant lollipop, are those really the canine version of kisses? While we may never really  know with certainty what those dog kisses (and many other canine gestures) truly mean, until the day dogs can talk and give us their interpretations, we can only make assumptions.

Humans and dogs are two different species and talk a different language. When we ascribe human traits and emotions to animals we engage in what is knows as anthropomorphism which can lead to misinterpretations and mask the dog’s real response to a situation. Your Rottweiler will therefore most likely “speak dog” rather than human language to manifest his closeness to you and following are some ways he does it.

Rottweiler Leaning Against You

As mentioned, Rottweilers love to stay as close to you as they can. Many Rottweiler owners claim they own a “Velcro dog” because their dog just has to stay attached to them. A common behavior is leaning against you. Often, this happens when you are standing still and suddenly feel pressure on your leg, and if you’re light like me, your Rottweiler may even sometimes unbalance you.  But don’t worry, he’ll do it too when you’re sitting.

This is likely your Rottweiler’s way to manifest his closeness to you and demonstrate a desire to keep track of you and your whereabouts. Some say this  behavior is reminiscent of this breed’s past as drover dogs; when they would lean against cattle to move them in a specific direction. Not sure how true this is, but it’s surely an interesting point worth pondering.

The Rottweiler Purr

I really never had the pleasure of owning a Rottweiler that “purrs” but heard many other Rottweiler owners witness it, so thought it’s worth mentioning here. My Rottweilers don’t purr but they’ll make an occasional grumble when I scratch them in their preferred spots as a sign of  “appreciation.” If your Rottweiler is totally relaxed and you do not recognize any of the stress signs discussed in the previous article, most likely he’s “talking” to express his contentment in being loved on and staying close to you.

If you’re not too sure if he’s enjoying your touch, try this experiment: stop petting him. If he paws you, nudges your hand or gives signs of engaging with you, most likely he was enjoying the interaction and is telling you: “please keep on doing what you were doing.” but the ideal and safest way to differentiate a growl from a Rottweiler purr is to hire a professional to help you out.

Rottweiler Love Licks

Many of us call these “kisses” but are they really kisses? They may seem so when they are targeted near our faces. The behavior may be reminiscent of a pup’s past wild ancestry when around the age of weaning, he would lick his mother’s face to stimulate her to regurgitate. Back in time, it was difficult for mother dogs to carry a whole carcass to the den, so they would feed their puppies by regurgitating when their pups licked the corners of their lips. As they grew, the puppies kept on licking the face of adult dogs as a way of showing submission and we still see this behavior today.

The puppies would typically keep their ears back and body low while licking the adult dog. Of course, our Rottweilers don’t expect us to regurgitate, but adult dogs may keep on licking us as a sign of respect or perhaps a way of telling us that we’re special to them. If you have been away for a good part of the day, there’s a good chance your Rottweiler is licking to say hello and welcome you back. And of course, if you have been eating something tasty, that lick  strategically stamped near your mouth may be your Rottweiler’s hopeful way to get his share!

And of course, Rottweilers may show affection in may other ways. Some may put their paws on you, or they’ll put their big, blocky heads on your lap. How does your Rottweiler show affection?Consider that many of your Rottweiler’s behaviors are encouraged with positive reinforcement, and therefore, behaviors that are reinforced, repeat.

So if you’ve been showering your Rottweiler with attention every time he jumps and licks your face, rest assured, he’ll keep on doing that. Any time you don’t like a behavior or feel like it’s getting out of hand, stop fueling it and be consistent.  He may continue trying for some time, but if you keep it up, he’ll eventually get the message and give up. And what  if you just want to put a halt to a behavior temporarily? Just train your Rottweiler a command to let him know you had enough.

7 Stress Signals in Your Dog

While humans are used to manifesting their emotions verbally, dogs, on the other paw, are masters in body communication. It’s up to us to decipher what they’re trying to tell us by paying closing attention to these subtle dog stress signals. Let’s unlock them now. Read more….

Dogs mainly communicate through their tails, facial expressions, ear and eye position and their body postures and movements. They may also vocalize too, but they primarily use their bodies. When studying dog body language, it’s important to look at the entire dog instead of focusing only on one, single body part. This is why you cannot rely on a tail wag only; in some cases a tail wag is far from being friendly! Don’t approach a dog whose body appears stiff, the hairs on his back (hackles) are raised and the tail is kept high and  is moving rigidly in short arcs (flag tail.)

Dogs Have Incorporated Warning Systems

We often hear people claim that their dog bit out of the blue. It’s quite rare that a dog really “bites out of blue.” In most cases, the dog may have communicated his uneasiness through body language, but these subtle signs went unheeded. At times, this can happen when a dog is repeatedly reprimanded for growling. With the dog’s warning system no longer in effect, the dog goes straight to a bite.

Reputable dog trainer and owner of Peaceable Paws, Pat Miller, calls a dog’s growling a “gift,” something to treasure because dogs are communicating uneasiness and give us an opportunity to stop what we’re doing. It’s like a toddler’s way of using “his words.” When you punish the growl ,or the snapping or snarling behavior, you’re not addressing the underlying stress that triggered the behavior in the first place. Instead, now with punishment in addition to stress, the dog’s level of discomfort increases and the dog learns that it’s no longer safe to warn, so the end result is a dog who bites without warning. A very dangerous situation indeed!

In the previous article “Five things dogs like and love you to do” we claimed how many dogs aren’t that fond of being hugged and kissed, even though at times there may be exceptions to the rule. We also discussed how Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist Patricia McConnell looked at 50 pictures of dogs being hugged and noticed happy owners but uncomfortable dogs. While dogs may not growl, snap or bite when they’re hugged, they may manifest uneasiness in many subtle ways. Failure to read these signals may lead to a dog escalating which may lead to a bite. In this article, we will look look at some stress signals dogs give out that intend to say: “I am feeling uncomfortable.”

Watch For These Stress Signals in Dogs

As mentioned, dogs often rely on subtle body signals to communicate stress and uneasiness. It’s up to us to recognize these signals so we can take measures to prevent the dog from getting overwhelmed. Paying attention to these signals will make you a better owner as you’ll be able to be more in tune with your dog’s feeling. Yes, dogs have feeling too! So keep an eye on these:

Yawning. Watch the context in which this happens. Most likely, unless your dog was napping, he is manifesting that he is starting feeling tense.

Lip licking. Raise your hand hand if you have several pictures of your dog with his tongue out busy licking his lips or nose. This is not a coincidence. Many dogs are slightly nervous about getting photographed with that camera near their faces. You may also notice several lip licks when dogs are being hugged and they don’t like it.

Panting. Again, look at context. If it’s really hot and you haven’t taken your dog out for a romp, the yawning can be a stress signal. Often, the mouth looks tense and the ears are pinned back. Be careful when a dog is stressed and panting and then suddenly closes his mouth. This can be a sign that a snap or bite may be coming.

Whale eyes. This occurs when the white of the dog’s eyes show at the corner in a half-moon fashion. You often see this when a dog  looks sharply in one direction and doesn’t like what you are doing.

Looking or turning away. You are moving towards a dog and the dog turns his head away or even turns away? The dog is asking to maintain distance. Children who chase or corner a dog that has been repeatedly and unsuccessfully trying to give “leave me alone” stress signals such as turning the head, often get bitten this way.

Ears pinned back. This can signal stress but again, you must look at the entire dog. There are times when the ears are pinned back and the dog is actually happy and likes the attention.

Scrolling fur. You often see this when dogs were just bathed or get up after rolling in the dust, but if you see it when a dog is interacting with people or other dogs, this may be a way of relieving tension after a stressful happening.

These are just a few of the many stress signals dogs give out. Stress signals may vary from one dog to another. There are many others including dilated eyes, breathing changes, low tail,  lowered body, weight shifted back, slow movement, refusal to eat, pacing, sweaty paws and more. Watch your dog carefully for these signs. If you notice any stress signals in your dog, work on avoiding putting your dog in stressful situations and ask a professional for help in changing your dog’s emotions about them.

Tip: If you really want to train your eye, as stress signals often happen fast, watch videos of dogs interacting with children, people and other dogs and play them in slow motion. How many do you recognize?

Five Things Rottweilers Like and Love You to Do

What things do Rottweilers like and love you to do? There’s no denial over the fact that we like to love on our Rottweilers, but when we do so, we often do it our way. Let’s unlock things Rottweilers like you to do, but this time from a canine’s standpoint. And no, surprisingly, two things we commonly do didn’t top the list. Read more…..

It comes natural for us humans to see things our way and we often unknowingly reflect our anthropomorphic views on Rover. We therefore assume that our Rottweilers like to be hugged and kissed because that’s what we do in our culture to demonstrate affection, but we may have really never asked ourselves if our Rottweilers enjoy these activities as much as we do. So let’s start off with clearing a common misconception.

Do Rottweilers Really Like Hugs and Kisses?

rottweilers
rottweilers love kisses

If we look at pictures of humans hugging Rottweilers, we often see Rottweiler owners happily embracing their Rottweilers but what about the Rottweiler? It’s not usual to see the Rottweiler licking its lips and looking over all uncomfortable. Patrica McConnell, a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist in the famous book “The Other End of the Leash” explains that hugging is an instinctive hard-wired behavior of primates. Rottweilers do not hug; actually, to the contrary, putting paws on another Rottweiler’s shoulders is considered very rude in Rottweiler social etiquette. On top of that, Rottweilers do not like being restrained. Out of 50 pictures of hugged Rottweilers, McConnell saw none of them looking happy.

And what about kissing?

In the human world, kissing is our way to offer affection, but what about Rottweilers? We never see Rottweilers kissing each other in the real sense of the word. Putting our faces near an unfamiliar Rottweiler is also very risky business. Rottweilers who have been conditioned to being kissed may tolerate them; however, once again, we’re engaging in behaviors popular among humans and not so much in Rottweilers.

It’s important though to make one clarification: while many Rottweilers dislike hugs and kisses, there are always exceptions to the rules. It’s possible that some Rottweilers have been conditioned to put up with our human displays, perhaps some even enjoy them, and at the very best, some may just tolerate them. Wondering if your Rottweiler enjoys hugs and kisses? Stay tuned for our next upcoming article on how to recognize stress signals denoting uneasiness in Rottweilers. If your Rottweiler shows any of these signs when you kiss him or hug him, it’s time to focus on things Rottweilers really likes you to do.

So What Things Do Rottweilers Love You to Do?

So if Rottweilers aren’t that fond of hugs and kisses, what would they love us to do? In order to find out, we must put ourselves in our Rottweiler’s shoes. For once, let’s put away our anthropomorphic views and do what’s in the best interest of our Rottweilers, shall we? Here is a rule of thumb: if your Rottweiler really likes what you do, he’ll likely ask for you to do it more and more, so pay attention to what your Rottweiler is trying to tell you. Keep in mind though that not all Rottweilers are created equal, to each his own.

Yes, Grab That Leash!

You heard this coming, didn’t you? If your Rottweiler gets all happy and excited when you grab the leash and does the happy dance, most likely he can’t wait to go outside and enjoy a stroll with you. Most likely if he could talk he would be telling you something like this: “Oh, cool! What a great idea! I’m up for it, let’s get going!” This simple activity is free, and best of all, it also keeps you healthy and in shape.

Yes, Gimme a Sniffing Adventure!

While you’re on your walk, make it a habit of allowing him at least one or two stops to engage in his favorite activity: sniffing! Most Rottweilers love to sniff, and best of all, this activity can be tiring. In order to prevent your Rottweiler from constantly pulling to go sniff everywhere, find a compromise and allow him to stop in a few places after obeying a simple obedience command. For instance, you can ask him for a sit and then reward him by telling him “go sniff!” Granted, he’ll be super happy you have given him this much cherished opportunity.

Yes, You Got the Right Spot!

While kissing and hugging may not be on the top list of things your Rottweiler loves you to do, petting him the right way may rank high in his hierarchy of wishes. Your Rottweiler most likely loves it when you pet him if he gives you signs of wanting you to continue. Try this experiment: pet him and then abruptly stop. What does your Rottweiler do? If he nudges your hand, leans against you or paws at you, most likely it’s his way of telling you: “keep on doing what you were doing.” Remember that all Rottweilers are different. Some Rottweilers may love belly rubs, others may not. Several Rottweilers don’t like pats on the head especially from strangers, while others may prefer scratches behind the ears.

Yes, Gimme Mental Stimulation!

We often think about providing our Rottweilers with exercise, but what about mental stimulation? Rottweilers crave that too! Your Rottweiler will be happy if you find him ways to keep his mind busy. Instead of feeding him using the food bowl, stuff kibble in a Kong Wobbler or toss his kibble around the home for him to recover.

Yes, We Love Routines!

Last but not least, your Rottweiler will be very thankful if you incorporate consistency and routines is his day-to-day life. Moves, abrupt schedule disruptions and too many changes will stress him out. Let him relax with a predictable schedule and clear, consistent rules.

And of course, among things Rottweilers like you to do, we must add that Rottweilers love when you feed them, play with them and train them if you make these activities extra fun!

8 Facts About Fleas and Ticks In You Dog

8 Little Known Fact About Fleas and Ticks
By Adrienne Farricelli

Without a shadow of doubt, we all love our dogs, but we surely aren’t fond of those pesky parasites which hitchhike on our beloved pooches and end up inside our homes where they reproduce freely quickly causing an infestation problem. One of the most common parasites found on dogs are fleas and ticks. How much do you know about them? Knowledge is ultimately power, as only by knowing your enemies well you can better eradicate them from your best friend and your comfy fortress.

Getting to Know Fleas Better

Nobody wants to get close and intimate with fleas, but it’s inevitable if you live in an area where these parasites thrive. Many dog owners confess they have never seen fleas until they have introduced dogs and cats in their homes. These critters come in small packages, but their effects on your companion can be quite big. Your dog will itch and scratch miserably and look at you with a pitiful face asking for help. Following are four little known facts about fleas.
Their Saliva Can Cause Issues
It’s easy to point the finger at fleas for causing that annoying scratching, but hold your horses before blaming them. Truth is, it’s often not the flea per se to cause that intense itching; rather, it’s an allergic reaction to their saliva. According to veterinarian Ron Hines, when fleas bite, they insert their mouth parts into the dog’s skin and their saliva contains an anticoagulant that makes the blood flow freely so they can easily enjoy their meal. It’s this saliva that turns out being highly irritant to some dogs which develop generalized itching. All it takes is just one flea for an upsetting bout of itching and scratching to start. To make things even worse, the constant licking, biting and scratching to ease the itch, may trigger an annoying skin infection.

They Leave Undeniable Proof ‘Behind”
Wondering if your dog has fleas? There’s an easy way to find proof of their presence. Consider yourself extra lucky if you own a dog that has a light colored coat. If you look carefully at your dog’s coat and see something that looks like dirt, chances are, you may be looking at flea droppings. Not too sure? Simply grab a little of that “dirt” and place it on a wet paper towel. If it assumes a reddish tint, you’re dealing with flea dirt which is simply digested blood.  A fun fact: female fleas are true vampires, they’re indeed capable of consuming about 15 times their body weight of blood in their lifetime!

They Can Mutate into Worms
OK, this is a bit of an exaggeration, as they obviously can’t directly turn into worms, but if your dog ingests an infected flea, he may end up with tapeworms. How is that? Fleas act as intermediate hosts for tapeworms. So if say your dog is grooming himself, and he accidentally ingests an infected flea, once in the dog’s intestinal tract the flea’s body will break down releasing larvae which attach to the dog’s intestinal lining and grow into adult tapeworms. Another good reason to get rid of fleas.

Fleas on Your Dog are Only the Tip of the Iceberg
One of the biggest mistakes dog owners make in fighting fleas is only treating the pet. Truth is, if you only treat your dog by applying topical products to his coat, you’ll likely see fleas again very soon. To say “Sayonara” once and for all, you’ll need to treat the environment as well. It’s a hard fact to accept, but female fleas lay about 20 to 30 eggs a day and these eggs often fall to the ground which means on your dog’s bedding, your carpet and even your bed if your pet is allowed up there. To completely eradicate fleas, you must therefore treat the dog and the dog’s indoor and outdoor environment. Look for insect growth regulators which kill adult fleas and all the flea’s other life stages.

Getting to Know Ticks Better
If you thought fleas were bad enough, wait until you learn more about ticks. Like fleas, ticks are attracted to your dog’s blood and just can’t wait to feast on him. Unlike fleas though, ticks are not bugs; rather they are arachnids, which makes them related to spiders. Following are four important facts about ticks.

They Cause Diseases to People and Dogs
Depending on where you live, ticks can be carriers of several debilitating diseases transmitted to both dogs and people. Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever, erlichiosis, anasplamosis and babeiosis are just a few examples of tick-born diseases found across the globe. Learning how to recognize tick-borne disease in dogs is important if you live in a tick-infested area, but most importantly, you want to work on prevention. Luckily there are many products that can help keep them at bay.

Timing is of the Essence
The risk for tick-borne disease gets much higher the longer the tick is attached to the dog’s skin. This is why it’s a good reason to often check your dog’s coat for the presence of these parasites. According to the Food and Drug Administration Newsletter, when a tick is removed within 24 hours, the chances for Lyme disease and other infectious tick-born diseases lowers.

Avoid Stressing them Out
It takes a certain strategy to safely remove ticks from your dog. Avoid jerking, twisting, burning the tick with a cigarette or a match or pouring kerosene or nail polish on the critter. These strategies cause the tick to be in distress and cause it to expel contents of its digestive tract into the wound and can even put you at risk for cross-contamination if the tick is infected and you have an open cut. The correct way to remove ticks is to simply get a pair of tweezers or a tick removing tool and pull straight up without squeezing the tick’s body.  It’s a good idea to wear gloves.

Don’t Let Ticks Lose Their Heads

When you grasp a tick with the tweezers or those special tick-removing tools, make sure you grasp firmly as close to the dog’s skin as possible right where the tick’s head and neck attach. Don’t squeeze or twist or the head may break off and remain embedded in the dog’s skin. If the head remains embedded, it may cause a local reaction but it will then work its way out on its own.

The New Trend that is Chinese Panda Dogs
written by: viviyai

A new wave that is not related to the latest fashion trends or mobile technology is fast sweeping across China. Actually, it is about the adorable and unique panda dog. It has become so popular making it difficult for pet stores to meet the high demand all over the country.

The Panda Dog
From its name and appearance, you may think that it is a new breed. Reports show that these feathery and lumbering companions belong to the Chow Chow breed. This is one of the native dog breeds in China, although it has been made to resemble the panda following a grooming and dying process.

The Bichon Frise is full of glamour and appears to be the native bear in danger of extinction in China. It is a two hour process while the color lasts for about 6 weeks, after which the pups should be returned to the shop for a touch up.

One of the pet store owners in Chengdu City; Hsin Ch’en revealed that the perception of the Chinese about having dogs as pets has extremely changed. In the past, the Chinese were known to prefer eating dogs than having them as a companion. However, currently the Western idea of adopting them as family members has been adopted.

In the recent past, most people preferred keeping the Tibetan Mastiffs as pets. They were followed by the Lab and the French bulldog. The latest trend among the Chinese middle class is the Panda dog.

Although the panda dog pups are more priced than the other breeds, people do not have a problem in buying them. It is because their owners love the attention they get as they walk their Chinese Panda dogs around the town. Being able to show off about the price of the dogs to their friends is also of great worth.

It is a controversial topic
There are no harmful chemicals or form of cruelty that is involved in changing the pooch to a panda. However, sufficient information about the process of grooming such as the exact dye used has not been provided by the owners of pet stores or other concerned individuals. However, Cesar Milan, who is a famous dog trainer in the world, claims that the use of dyes makes the whole process unsafe for the animal.

All dyes used on dog fur contain some amount of chemicals in them. The dye used on human hair is even more harmful. The chemical causes harm on human skin and is bound to have more rates of irritability and present long term danger to the dogs.

There are risks of the chemical getting into the mouth, nose and ear of the dog causing serious health effects. Food coloring is the safest way to do the grooming. The use of real food like beets and blueberries would be the most appropriate since they contain no chemicals. The food should be safe for dogs. Organic or artificial foods are also a proper alternative.

The Chinese pet store owners are using the food coloring option which lasts between 4 and 6 weeks to obtain the new panda look. It is appropriate that dog safety is considered first before their profitable sale.

Can Husky Talk?

written by : Nada Saad

In general, talking and barking are actually genetics yet they are not compatible. A dog who talks won’t bark often.Training a Husky is a challenge. They are extremely intelligent, stubborn and independent which can make it difficult when training. So it will take big time to train them, it’s not impossible to get your husky dog to talk but you need patience and time. On the other hand you can find your husky dog talking with no effort from your side, thanks to their intelligence level.

 

Huskies are usually vocal, but they’re not barkers. They howl more frequently than they bark and this helps in getting a husky dog to talk. They will never talk like humans, they won’t spell letters, they will just howl in the rhythm of words.For ex: I love you, you will hear It “I wooow yu”.

It’s a bit close to how babies learn to talk at first.All you need to do is to notice what makes them howl. Some huskies howl when you expose them to weird sounds that may compel them to howl like music, videos of howling dogs, treat, teasing them with a toy and some will howl just because you howl. And as a husky is an independent and stubborn dog so some of them won’t howl unless they want to and this is why it’s important to keep your patience.
Find a way to make them produce the sound (like wooing at them), then reward them, as they understand what you’re looking for, add the command to it. Once they woo back every time, you should say speak or say hi or sing then woo at them.

And you can also repeat an easy word many times till they try to imitate you and say it back. Once they try to make a voice (howling) give them a treat.

Why dogs hate cats

written by: Abbynduts13

Every society has its own myths. The bottom line is to try and understand the reasons behind how things in real life are they way they are. One such interesting Chinese myth is why dogs hate cats. Here is the story:
There lived a Chinese family, the Wang family. One winter, there was serious food shortage that resulted from a number of factors- Ming-li, the son had caught pneumonia, thus more money was spent on medicine, and worse still, his father had fallen ill, and had been sacked. Unfortunately, he died a short while later.The bereaved family was left in dire poverty.

They lived on crumbs. However, Ming-li always stayed hopeful, and went out daily searching for work, so as to get food for his family. He hoped to get some copper which he could sell, if work evaded him completely, invoking his belief in the provision of the gods. Other victims of this dire food shortage were two pets- a dog and a cat named Blackfoot and Whitehead respectively.

One day, an old bald priest passed by and Ming-Li’s mother almost sent him off highlighting their plight. However, the priest was adamant. He showed her a golden beetle and told her that it was a gift from the god of filial conduct, who had noted her sons’ goodness.

On seeing it, Mrs. Wang was very excited. She thought that she could be sold for some good money that would be used to buy millet that could sustain them for a few days. However, the priest informed her that the beetle was not to be sold, as it had brought good fortune to them- it could feed them. All she needed to do was boil some water in a pot, put the beetle inside and mention all the food she wanted. She would then cover the pot for about 3 minutes.

Mrs. Wang was ready to test this new solution. She thanked the priest. She was advised to try it out when the priest left. Immediately, she followed the instructions, and in a while, the pot was full of dumplings, which she had requested. She gluttonously ate and fed her two pets. This was quite unusual. When Mingli came back home, he found his mother extremely excited. In a little while, there was food for him, and his mother couldn’t wait to explain. The two pets were fed with all the remainders of food, an unknown phenomenon in the Wang family.

The Wang household became replete with all sorts of food and they all grew fat and lazy. Mrs. Wang began to invite friends over to enjoy her delicious food. One day, Mr. and Mrs. Chu came over and they stole the golden beetle. When Mrs.Wang came back home that evening, her treasure was gone. This was marked beginning of sliding back to their previous lifestyle, where they had survived on.

Hunger drove the pets to the streets looking for left-over bones and morsels. Interestingly, Whitehead began to look excited and Blackfoot wondered what he was up to. Whitehead had actually seen Mrs.Chu steal the beetle. They hatched a plan to retrieve it.

When they got to the Chu’s, a big rat helped them retrieve it, with a promise that Whitehead would not feast on her. On their way back, Blackfoot swam across a river with Whitehead on his back. Whitehead was distracted by a fish and he let go of the good fortune as he dived to get the fish.Blackfoot helped him retrieve the fortune.

When they got home, Blackhead was tricked into waiting outside, while Whitehead went inside. The latter got the best food, while the former got thinner and thinner. Angered, Blackhead killed Whitehead and called the other dogs to witness the results of selfishness.

This is the story that the Chinese use to try and understand the animosity between these two pets that we like to have in our homes.

Reasons Why You Shouldn't Allow Your Dog to Sleep in Your or your kids Bed
Reasons Why You Shouldn't Allow Your Dog to Sleep in Your or your kids Bed

Dogs Just like Babies
Written By : Nada Hassan

Dogs aren’t slaves, and their role is not to please their owners. They have needs just like us and it’s very important to fulfill those needs,Dogs are similar to human beings when it comes to feelings, they feel happy, sad, angry, hungry etc. But their brain functions differently. They don’t think in words, they just have needs and goals, and they aim to achieve them

Sometimes you will find your dog destructive and aggressive. This only happens when their needs aren’t fulfilled. When we keep them away or lock them to protect our furniture and shoes, they become stubborn and their needs and goals are still there, there is just no room for them to achieve their goals, but soon you will notice their aggressive behavior If we didn’t provide them with proper activities they will act on their own, this is when they’ll chew up our shoes and tear apart our furniture.

Dogs love to run and play, and use their energy, if not, they will use their energy to destroy everything Just like babies, dogs learn through social learning, they imitate other dogs and humans through conditioning. There are two types, the classical and the operant conditioning. The classical is responsible for the involuntary response and the operant is responsible for the voluntary response

Classical conditioning forms an association between two stimuli, it is when the dog salivates when food is served. For example, before every meal ring a bell, so he will associate the bell with the meal and every time he will start to salivate when he hears the bell, because he will understand that food is on the way

Operant conditioning forms an association between a behavior and a consequence, it is when the dog sits for a treat. When training your dog, you should use two techniques, reinforce the good behavior and punish the bad behavior

For example, you are trying to train your dog not to jump on you, so you will start with the “Positive Reinforcement” give him a treat or attention, if he jumps then use the “Negative Punishment” don’t give him your attention. The other time he jumps give him “Positive Punishment” push the dog down or give him a bump on the nose, this is how you discourage the jumping. Finally, use the “Negative Reinforcement” stop pushing the dog down

Dog basic need
Written By : Nada Hassan

Dogs aren’t all the same. Each breed and individual within each breed are different, they have specific needs and habits. However, there are several basic common needs among all dogs. In order to be ready for a dog you should first be prepared to fulfill those needs.

Daily Exercise
Just like humans, dogs need exercise. Your dog must get the exercise he needs in order to be a balanced, healthy and happy dog. You should walk your dog at least twice a day till he gets tired, but if you are not physically able to walk for long distance, try a backpack. By putting a weighted pack on your dog, he will still be working through all that excess energy, therefore you can walk a shorter distance. But you must get back to your vet first concerning the proper amount of weight for your dog. Also, walking with your dog is an excellent way to bond with him.

Healthy Diet
Pay attention to your dog’s diet. Unbalanced and poor diet will mostly cause your dog to experience weakness, skin and coat issues, and even their behavior will change. You should feed your dog premium dog food and make sure its main ingredient is meat. Don’t look for cheap food because you almost get what you pay for.

Positive Social Interactions
Dogs are social animals, they crave social interactions, they love to meet people regularly and play with other dogs. Dog’s park is a great place for your dog to socialize, interact, play and meet new people and dogs. Yet locking your dog or let him spend too much time indoor will affect him negatively, he will be weary of humans and dogs, also it will lead to behavior issues. Furthermore; dogs need good quality time to bond with their owners, it helps them feel happy and secure within the family.  

Mental Stimulation
Dogs are very smart creatures, they love to learn. Their intelligence allows them to understand commands and signals. They love to practice solving problems and learn new tricks. Mental stimulation helps reduce boredom, anxiety and stress. Make sure your dog understands the trick before you teach him another trick. Also, dogs love toys, by providing your dog with interactive toys along with training sessions he will be able to think, work and play when you’re not around.  

Sufficient Shelter
Dogs have feelings just like humans, we can’t just leave our children outside in the yard. But if you have no other option and you have to leave your dog outside, then you must supply him with a proper shelter, make sure to provide him with a potent dog house to protect him from the cold/hot weather, and a constant supply of clean water.

Predictable Schedule
Dogs need to be fed and walked regularly in specific times. Don’t leave your dog to wonder when their next meal or chance to go for a walk may be. Confusion, frustration, stress and anxiety will occur when your dog’s schedule is inconsistent.

Comfort with Independence
Make sure your dog copes with separation, so he won’t suffer anxiety and behavior issues when left by himself. He should get plenty of things to do when he is left alone. If you spend too much time with your dog he won’t know how to be alone, yet that doesn’t mean to leave him alone for a long time. Remember they consider themselves a family member.

Clean Water
A dog can spend a long time without food, but can’t spend a long time without water during a hot day. This will cause him health problems. Make sure your dog’s water is clean and always available.

Basic Grooming
Dogs need to be bathed from time to time and their nails should be clipped regularly. It’s very important to brush you dog’s coat, their coats are higher-maintenance than others. Yet it doesn’t matter if their coat is short, because brushing gives you a chance to free your dogs from bugs scrapes and other problems.

Discipline and Structure

Dogs might poop in line with the Earth’s magnetic field

written by: elyson

For a dog owner seeing a dog poop may not be surprising. However, that it always tend to spin around or move in circles before doing so can be startling. And the reason behind this norm is the Earth’s magnetic field. Dogs together with sea turtles, birds and even cows use this principle of aligning themselves to the Earth’s magnetic field to either orient themselves in the case of dogs and cows or gauge distances.

This is especially concerning the sea turtles and birds that use such magnetic field to travel over longer distances that they would in other circumstances not managed. For instance, while grazing cows tend to align themselves along the north-south axis and the main reason for this is unclear.

To the human beings this has not affected their behavior. Recent unearthings are however stating otherwise. According to the latest researches done, it has been discovered that human beings at one point back in history might have experienced the same thing with the Earth’s magnetic field. This is due to the presence of light-sensitive proteins found in their eyes.

When magnetic field conditions are calm and stable, dogs like to excrete while aligning themselves along the north-south axis, a similar practice noted earlier in cattle as they graze.

This trait was discovered by researchers from Germany and Czech who conducted a study on dogs of different breeds. The researchers analyzed more than 70 dogs all from 37 different breeds within a time span of 2 years.

They then published their findings in the Frontiers in Zoology and in the journal the conclusion was that, dogs under normal circumstances poop under the influence of the earth’s magnetic field. This practice cuts across all breeds and whether the dog is male or female it will still align itself the same way. It should also be noted that though calm magnetic field conditions come rarely especially during daylight hours, when they do, dogs even those that are often choosy about how to poop, would suddenly excrete along the specified north-south axis.

 

In terms of urinal traits or defecation, dogs of both sexes male and female, have no preferred posture that set them apart. Instead they urinate and defecate in the same posture even though male dogs tend to be more aware of the north-south axis. This is because unlike female dogs, they prefer to align themselves along this line each time they urinate.

In the process the lift their legs, a behavior that is consistent with all male dogs. However, what has baffled many researchers is knowing which type of leg a male dog would prefer to raise while urinating. Such tendency has now raised questions and is a case for ongoing studies. If successful, the researchers would like to find out which direction the dog prefers to face depending on whether it has lifted its right or left leg.

Generally, despite the fact that it is difficult to understand why a dog would align its body along the north-south axis, it is still a subject worth delving into. This way you might know a thing or two about your dog you never thought of before.

Why Does My Dog Spin Before Going Potty?
written by: tigerrlily218

Are They Making Crop Circles?

Almost all dogs make strange choices when it comes to potty breaks and odd bathroom behavior is not just confined to one particular breed. Some dogs will do their business in the grass regardless of weather conditions, while others refuse to even set one paw down if the grass is not well manicured and dry.

Some breeds may not even want to touch the grass at all and may prefer to go potty on concrete or your precious hardwood floors. However, a lot of dogs will spin in circles before finally settling on what appears to be a magical spot to relieve themselves.

This behavior is common in all dog breeds and ages and chances are, your dog has done this at least once! While it certainly is funny, you may be wondering why your fur child is spinning. We can assure you that there is a logical explanation for your dog’s odd behavior and it has nothing to do with making you laugh or shake your head in confusion.

Magnetic Fields and Your Dog

According to research, dogs spin in circles because they are trying to align themselves with the earth’s magnetic field. Like most animals, the earth’s natural magnetic field has a strong effect on them. Dogs prefer to do their business once their body is positioned along the north-south axis.

They also like it when the magnetic fields are calm. When the fields are out of sync, dogs will not necessarily align themselves with the axis and may not spin in circles at all.

While this may seem like a completely crazy theory, research and studies involving over 70 dogs in a 2 year span confirmed that dogs do prefer to align their bodies before taking a potty break. Unfortunately for Fido, the magnetic fields are only calm for about 20% of the day, which does not leave much time for alignment! Keep in mind that they will relieve themselves even when the magnetic fields are not perfect.

When these studies were conducted, the dogs were not given specific instructions or commands in order to avoid confusion and biased results. They were simply let outside to do their business and observed. For all intents and purposes, the study was blind.

During their research, the scientists also concluded that the sun has little to do with the dog’s positioning. A lot of people believed that this spinning behavior was due to the fact that the dog was attempting to find the best position available where the sun’s blinding rays were not in his or her face. However, the research done showed that the sun’s position had no effect on where the dog stopped to excrete.

So Why Align North-South?

Although scientists were able to conclude that your dog is spinning in an attempt to align with the earth’s magnetic field, they could not say for certain why this alignment was so important. They could not say with absolute certainty that dogs were picking up on a sensory effect of the field, or if they just felt more comfortable in that particular alignment. However, they did determine that dogs will avoid the east-west position when possible.

THE DOG THAT SAVED HIMSELF

written by: Nigel647

Dogs have been known to be the most loyal pets to human beings since time immemorial. They are playful and they offer security to home owners. They even go as far as saving people’s lives by rescuing them or calling for help. The most outstanding thing, though, is when a dog saves his own life by dialing the 999 emergency services.

Well, this occurrence is not surprising for a dog that has been trained to dial certain numbers in case of an emergency. In 2006, a man named Kevin Weaver from Orlando was saved by his dog, Belle.

The dog speed dialed number 9 just as he was taught, on Kevin’s phone when he went in to a diabetic seizure and as such, he was saved. In England, 2009, a golden retriever named Bailey dialed 999 when chewing on a cordless phone. However, this other case is distinct since the dog in question had no prior training that involved calling for help in an emergency situation; in fact, the owners had always found the dog a bit sloppy.

Unfolding of events

George, the dog, knocked the house phone over to the floor and started playing with the phone’s cord. Amidst the fun he was having, he managed to get the cord over his neck and the cord was now strangling him. Even a sloppy dog knows when things are going wrong obviously due to the choking. As George struggled to free himself from the tangle, his paws miraculously managed to dial 999 on the phone. The operator that received the call could only hear heavy breathing and gasps from the caller.

He immediately assumed that the caller was sick and decided to send help to that particular house. Paul Walker, the neighbor, let the police in with his spare key. The police immediately went ahead searching the whole house for the patient, a human being to precise. Paul looked around too and was shocked to find George lying on the ground with a cord around his neck.

Paul untied the cord and freed George. He reported that he found the dog’s paw on the phone and that the miraculous dialing of the number had led to George saving his own life. An even more surprising factor is that the house phone was not the modern push-button kind, but the traditional ones with the dial ring. This makes the dog’s ability to dial even more astounding. George is a pet dog to Lydia and her father, Steve Brown. These two owners were just as surprised as everyone else to hear of the ordeal. They both claimed that George was an average dog with no special skills or abilities.

He had not been taught anything and that he always spent his time chewing socks. Cassie Murdoch of Jezebel said that they should probably let him chew on more socks after such a remarkable experience. She also advised the family to get a cordless phone to avert such accidents.

Such occurrences of dogs getting strangled by phone cords are common but they can be avoided by owners getting cordless phones. A dog saving his own life is miraculous.

How to Determine a Dogs Age in Human Years

Most people don’t realize, but dogs age faster than humans. Their average lifespan is around 14 years. It depends on the dog’s health, lifestyle and size. There are many people who calculate a dog’s age in human years, it is not the correct method. Dogs age very quickly in their early years as compared to later ones. For the first five years, most breeds age at the same pace. However, smaller ones age slowly than larger ones. Here are some tips to determine a dog’s age in human years.

Estimate the Age – If you don’t know your dog’s exact birth date, you need to estimate the age. His teeth can be a good indicator to determine his age. A small puppy can have all the baby teeth by 8 weeks. The permanent ones show around 7 months of age. A dog between 1-2 years may have some tartar buildup. Similarly, a dog between 2-5 years may have some yellowing of teeth. Dogs who’re older than 5 years have serious tartar buildup. They may also suffer from some dental disease. Senior dogs who’re over 10 years old show signs of cataracts, graying fur, and joint disease.

Determine the Dog’s Size – It is important to determine the size of your dog. Small dogs weigh just around 20 pounds, while medium dogs are heavier between 21-50 pounds. On the other hand, large dogs weigh around 50 pounds. Most dogs age at the same rate in the early years. However, larger breeds age more rapidly. This affects the calculation of their age.

Calculate Approximate Human Age – You can simply multiply the age in months by 2. This should be done for small puppies up to 5 months old. It is important to understand that puppies age very quickly in the first year, especially the first five months. Gradually, this rate of growth will decline.

For puppies between 6-8 months, you should multiply the age by 1.5. This is done to consider the decreased rate of growth and aging.

While calculating the age of puppies who’re between 9 months to 1 year, you should multiply the age by 1.25. A one year old dog in human years is around 15 years old. Dogs age 3/4th of a human year for every month. Therefore, when a dog is 2 years old, he will be around 24 years in human years. For some breeds and sizes, this number may be smaller.

For dogs aged between 2-5 years old, you should subtract 2 from the age and multiply the number by 4. You need to add 24 to this number to determine the dog’s age in human years. This figure is always the same for breeds up to 5 years.

For dogs who’re over 5 years old, you need to subtract 5 from the age. For smaller breeds, you should multiply the remainder by 4, and add 36 to it. For medium breeds, the remainder should be multiplied by 5, and 36 should be added to it. For larger breeds, the remainder needs to be multiplied by 6, and 36 needs to be added.

It is important to understand that large breeds over 15 years old age around 27 human years when they’re between 15-16 years old. This is because of the larger bone structure of the dog. It may lead to joint problems and other issues.

 

How to Teach a Dog to Swim

By

dog

Follow the steps to teach a dog to swim. Majority of the dogs are born without knowing how to swim especially water retrievers like Chesapeake Bay retrievers and Labradors and they have to be taught swimming when they are puppies or young adults. If you want to teach a dog to swim, you have to train it which is not daunting task as you only need to have ample water for the dog to swim so that his feet do not touch the bottom of the water and the dog should also be willing to learn swimming. Dogs possess an excellent capacity and physical capability which enables them to learn the swimming lesson very quickly. 

 If you want to teach a dog to swim you can do it easily with the following steps which includes-

Step 1- preparation for swimming- firstly you should put the vest, collar and life jacket of the dog for preparing him to swim. Let him walk for a while with his jacket until he is comfortable and relaxing and shows the sign of being well prepared when he starts wagging his tail. 

 Step 2- location selection- you have to be very careful while selecting a location as the dog may experience difficulty in approaching the water if he had only interacted with water in the bath tub. Thus at first you have to be careful while introducing you dog to the water that has no currents or waves and the water body should be quiet and small like a pond or kiddie pond. You should avoid water with discernible current but you can have a stream with grassy bank.

 Step 3- gradual approach- always let your dog go into the water slowly so that he can sniff the water and play with it as he wants but you should always avoid chlorinated pool water. You should lead and coax your dog if you want to teach a dog to swim.

But if your dog stops while going into the water then let him relax. If swimming is making your dog feel uncomfortable then you will know it from his rigid posture which includes low and forward head and tail positioned downwards in between his legs.

The dog may even whine and grimace. If you notice any of these postures then make him feels comfortable by talking slowly to him and don’t allow the dog to come out of water. Gradually stroke the chest, neck and head of the dog to make him relax until he starts wagging his tail again.

Step 4- proper encouragement- encourage your dog to approach the water gradually as he put his front feet in the water and make him follow you into the water and reward him for taking initiatives for swimming. You can offer him a floating toy as a reward that is stuffed with treats as he will love it. 

 Step 5- prepare for dog’s reaction– wait to see the reaction of the dog when he first leaves the bottom of the water. Hold the dog under his midsection with your arms while placing a hand at his ribcage’s bottom and the other hand on his stomach. You should also encourage your dog to use his hind legs as using his front paws only will make him too tired very fast.

If you want him to put his neck forward then lure him with food and toy that will enable him to keep his head on the water’s level. If you want to teach a dog to swim, you should always support him for making him relaxed so that the dog can use all his legs for swimming. After he starts swimming without nervousness or encouragement then remove the leash from his collar.

Another Benefit form the Dogs’ Strong Senses

written by: larabrooke

We all know that dogs have great senses, way stronger than the human ones, but a new study from this month, March 2014, amazes us with the information it provided.A team from Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), dealing with research activities, has been working on a study and determined how dogs can find explosives like Composition C-4 for example. This research found the these animals react best to the real explosive, this creates a doubt in the usage of products made to imitate the scent of C-4 for the training purposes. This new information is a result of a hard work, and the contract for this research is for four years.

John Goodpaster gives us information about the process, he explains that the dogs were trained to achieve these results, to find actual explosives.The work of these well-trained detector dogs is effective and proven, and the study wants to find more information, to improve its work and to find out which chemical compounds cause the dog to sense a specific explosive and to give some alert.

Previous researches have given information and have supposed that some specific non-explosive chemicals released by Composition C-4 can cause a dogs to give an alert, and that these substances could be used for training of dogs in place where real explosives can be found. This is an important step of the improving of people’s safety.

At the beginning of the study, the researchers from the university found that the non-explosive chemicals emitted by C-4 mimics can be found in a lot of everyday different plastic objects. There were many objects that were included in the testing, like PVC pipes, movie tickets, plastic bags, plastic wrapping, etc. Some of the tested objects emitted significant levels of the compound recommended training dogs.

The researched decided to test the senses of the dogs in the second phase of the project. 33 trained dogs were used to see if they would actually respond to the compounds.

The performed trials showed that these animals did not respond in any meaningful way to some of the odor compounds from the C-4. The dogs seem to be very smart or very sensible, they cannot be easily fooled, and they are very specific. The study revealed that if they are trained on the full scent, they will find actual explosives only.

And because they are very specific in what they find, the study can be really helpful in court, the dogs detection can be used as evidence; it can resolve some of today’s issues.

The team performing the research recommended that the training should be done with actual explosives. As we know, there is technology for seeking and detecting explosives, but dogs may be a better option, because they are fast, have strong sensitivity and can search for many objects.

They are not that hard to be trained, this means that their potential can be improved with the proper training, and may be soon there will be more studies like this one, encouraging and with great results.

How To Relax A Nervous Dog
written by: marvintana

There are different causes of dog nervousness, but in most cases, the nervousness might develop from a stimulus such as separation, fireworks, or thunder. Dealing with the nervousness includes behavior adaptation and the creation of a perception that will make the dog see the environment differently. The approach is geared towards making the dog perceive the situation or the stimulus as a positive thing rather than a negative one. There might be extreme cases of nervousness and this is where the need for a veterinarian arises. In other mild cases you can follow the following steps on how to relax a nervous dog.

First Step

It is crucial that you monitor the behavior of your dog so that you can identify the cause of the nervousness. If need be, you can create a stimulus such as playing a recording of a certain noise that you believe causes the anxiety.

Second Step

Pay attention to any situations or stimulus that might be causing the nervousness. If there are general anxiety disposition, then you might be dealing with an attention seeking fake anxiety. This type of nervousness can be handled through obedience training, play time and spending time with your dog.

Third Step

You should expose your dog to the stimulus you believe causes the anxiety. If you believe the nervousness is as a result of loneliness, leave the room for a while and listen for whining, if present, then you might be dealing with separation anxiety. Some of the indicators of anxiety include, whining, pacing, ears folded back and salivation. You should regularly check for such signs when there are loud noises or after leaving the dog alone for a while.

Fourth Step

Introduce a distraction that will shift your dog’s attention from the stimulus. You should create a situation that makes the dog nervous by getting a vacuum cleaner out or preparing to leave the room. Prior to switching the cleaner on of leaving the room, throw a toy to your dog. This will not allow ample time for the nervousness to kick in. their attention will be shifted and slowly the anxiety will disappear with each repeat of the situation.

Fifth Step

If your dog exhibits nervousness, due to the situation you have created, stroke them slowly and if they wish to wander away, let them. If you act normal, you are communicating that there is no need for alarm.

Sixth Step

Create the stimulus situation again and this time use a food treat. If it is separation anxiety, your absence is the cause and you need to associate it with something positive like a food treat. Anxiety is mostly associated with fear and some negativity, creating and associating the stimuli with positivity will go a long way in relaxing your dog.

Seventh Step

Get rid of the stimulus and have a normal interaction with your dog. They will start believing that the situation is not permanent and will be more comfortable. When repeated over a long period of time, these steps can help a great deal on relaxing a nervous dog.

Dogs Feel Your Pain, Studies Show It With Relevant Facts
written by: kenn65

If you try yawning next to your pet dog, she may do exactly the same thing. Even though it seems simple, this contagious act is considered remarkable. Furthermore, just a few animals can do it, and dogs are the only species that cross this species barrier. Right now, new studies are emerging, which show that dogs feel your pain. Even when they hear the sound of yawning without necessarily seeing that person, they’ll start yawning too, and that’s solid evidence yet that these canines may empathize with human beings.

Over a long period of time, dogs have been considered man’s best friend, and studies are showing it already. According to one study, published in a journal named ”Animal Cognition”, dogs may approach people who are in distress than people who are relatively calm. Deborah Custance, one of the experts carrying out the study was quoted saying there are many reasons to believe that dogs may be very sensitive to human emotions than other species.

In order to prove Custance’s statement, another study was set up at Goldsmith University by researchers who were interested in the same area (Custance was included). A total of 18 dogs, all coming from different backgrounds were individually exposed to 3 scenarios. The first scenario involved two people talking, the second one was about a person humming in an awkward manner with the intention of inciting the dog’s curiosity. The third scenario involved a person pretending to cry. The experiments were conducted in the presence of the dog owners and strangers. More dogs ended up approaching individuals in distress than those who seemed perfectly normal.

It’s surprising to discover that the dogs approached strangers more often, just like they would have done to their owners, a sure sign that their empathy did not discriminate the familiarity or unfamiliarity of the people involved. Scientists now suspect these traits might have been passed on from one dog to the other over thousands of years as they interacted with human beings.

Custance and her team reasoned that the fact that dogs can differentiate between crying and humming is a sure indication that their interest for people who cried was purely driven by more than just curiosity. In other words, the act of crying was interpreted by the dogs to mean a stronger emotional feeling and thus it provoked a stronger emotional response compared to talking or humming.

They continued to argue that if the dogs’ action during the crying moments were motivated by comfort-seeking, they would simply approach their owners, who are their usual source of comfort as opposed to strangers. These dogs randomly approached whomever seemed to be in distress regardless of their identities.

That’s solid evidence that dogs feel your pain. In all the studies that were conducted, the results showed that dogs were responding to people’s emotional distress rather than their own needs, which highlighted their empathic-like traits.

If you used to doubt about the fact that dogs feel your pain, the studies above are a sure indication that you should start trusting man’s best friend—the dog.

Five Signs Your Dog Loves You

By

Your Dog Loves You
Your Dog Loves You

Signs Your Dog Loves You can only manifest through your commitment to all the aspects of the canine’s well-being. Known as a subspecies of the gray wolf, the household dog is a mammalian derivative of the Canidae family in the order of Carnivora. The most domesticated animal in the history of mankind, it has been kept for hunting, working, sports, as a food source, and pet.

Scientific evaluation of canine intelligence is yet to be fully interpreted, although there is adequate proof that dogs enhance the human mental and physical health. Whilst a host of studies have taken place to measure the amount of signs and words a dog can grasp and how long it can last within their memories, the ability to learn fast in some species has been noted.

Investigations have proved that dogs exude feelings of guilt when reprimanded, and other intricate emotions such as anticipation,\ and jealousy. They have being known to have adaptive, obedience, working and instinctive intelligence.Their instinctive understanding is evidenced by their ability to carry out tasks as taught by humans, and similar to the canine’s rearing habits such as, pointing, herding, fetching, companionship and guarding.

Below is a list of Signs Your Dog Loves You:-

1. Love exists under a two-way regime. Showing your dog a cold demeanor and expecting to be loved back will only enhance a bond that is solely governed by food, fear and shelter. Love can be created via committing to engage in your dog’s needs such as walks, affectionate cuddling, playing together, and attention during the canine’s illness or bathing, moments.

2. Dogs love to eat and since their brain is incapable of future planning, they trust their owner will provide the meals as is usually the norm. If after your pets belly is full and they come over to you immediately for a cuddle, then you are truly loved.

3. Canines are naturally social and flexible, since they derive from the wolf family that is known to exist in packs. As a member of your family, the dog will feel comfortable sleeping on your bed, or with any other occupant in the household, more than it would in a crate, or on the kitchen floor all by itself. A canine fully devoted to you will choose to sleep on your bed as a sign of friendship and trust.

4. Dogs that are well bonded with you and have adjusted to your schedule of leaving and coming back will never display any negative behavior of anxiety, or frenzied activity. Although not clinically proven, such reactions have been thought to either be a social sign of fear phobia of loneliness, or an attempt to portray love.
5. The way your dog greets you or any other occupant on arrival, speaks volumes. Closely observe your dog’s behavior with each occupant, to determine its level of love. If the dog jumps up and down on you when you arrive and does not repeat the same with any other family member, then it can be considered as a positive sign of affection.

5 Amazing Stories of Dogs Who Saved Their Owners Lives|

written by: Quarticles

Whereas most people are quiet skeptical about the dogs’ courage and determination to save the lives of their owners when they are in danger, there are however many cases when dogs have been reported to save their owners lives. Here are 5 amazing stories of dogs that have saved their owners lives. These stories will definitely motivate you to start treating your dog better and change your perception about dogs for the better. 

1. Angel Vs Cougar 

Very few dogs have a better name than Angel. When the dog’s 30-year owner, Austin, was attacked by a cougar, Angel stepped between them. As the dog was battling the wild cat, Austin’s family called the police. Angel was still battling the cougar by the time the police arrived and shot the wild cat dead. Though Angel walked away with minor injuries, the brave dog didn’t not only survive but also saved Austin’s life. 

2. Tater Vs Bull 

Woodson Barry of Alburnett, Iowa, owes his life to his beloved dog Tater whom he had raised from birth. When the 54-year old farmer took his bull to the vet, the bull suddenly became violent and attacked him. The veterinarians tried their best to beat the bull, but the animal charged and chased them away. Luckily Tater stepped in and attacked the 2,300-pound bull. He fended the bull off until Woodson got up and escaped. Though he suffered from a broken rib, he however noted that he is happy to be alive courtesy of his beloved pet.

3. Raelee Vs a seizure 

Initially, Yolanda Segovia of Florida was reluctant to take in Raelee (the lost dog that her neighbor had found).

Owner Biggest Mistake That Makes Rottweiler Aggressive When He Grow Up

Rottweilers are known for being very protective and loyal dogs, and can often be quite powerful for this purpose. Unfortunately, this also means that they’re much more susceptible to aggressive behavior especially if the owner encourages it.

Aggression, however, isn’t a trait that a rottweiler is born with; while they may be more prone to it, such behavior can be nipped in the bud as it’s growing up, but only if the owner is willing to be patient and strong with the dog.

There are a number of rather simple mistakes that an owner can make as the rottweiler grows up, and being conscious of them can really help in significantly reducing their aggressive behavior later on in life.

Being Complacent
One of the biggest mistakes you can do is ignore when aggression is triggered in your rottweiler. It’s important that you pay attention to what makes it aggressive, so that you can better deal with the problem. For example, if the dog starts barking when visitors come over to your house, simply ignoring the problem won’t make the dog stop.

You can choose to have a firm, strict tone with it when it happens, but you can also reward the dog whenever it doesn’t react aggressively to a visitor. If they feel that they’ll be rewarded for being a good dog, they’ll be more likely to continue that kind of behavior.

Although you shouldn’t always ignore signs of aggression, it can sometimes be appropriate since dogs in general look to their owners as to what should be a threat. If it sees that the owner is being calm with a visitor, they’ll be more likely to refrain from acting out.

Keeping the Dog Busy
A rottweiler is one of those dog breeds that requires constant activity in order to be reasonably happy. They require plenty of exercise and outdoor time, and if they end up tired out by the end of the day, they’ll be much more likely to be passive when it comes to visitors and strangers.

So keep the dog as busy as you possibly can; much like a human being, being cooped up in and around the house doesn’t help much of anything, and can often make aggression and/or anxiety in the dog even worse since they’re not getting any real-world or social interaction with other dogs and other people. Essentially, you want to make the dog as experienced as possible with other creatures, so that it can discern what’s actually a threat.

The 10 Biggest Mistakes Dog Owners Make Daily

People who have pet dogs normally make a lot of mistakes with them. Here are 10 common dog owners mistakes that people commit daily as explained by Valdae Rytapel a southern California dog trainer.

1.Humanization –dogs are not relatives or children thus do not need to be treated like humans. If you treat them like humans they will most likely treat you like a dog.

2.Democracy- dog owners mistakes also include extending democracy to the canine as it simply does not work. For the dog to be accepted into the family make him or her the last in the hierarchical social order and forget about bill of rights.

3.Letting the dig live on welfare- dogs need to work i.e. physical and mental exercises to earn their food and possessions just as they would do if they were out in the wild. Keep in mind that a tired dog is a good one.

4.Afraid to say no- set limits for the dog and also enforce limits with consequences without being scared or feeling guilty about saying no. correct the dog as a dog and not a human.

5.Speaking English to the pet- this also makes it to the list of dog owners mistakes. Dogs only understand dogglish. This means only tonal variations can help make it understand what you want it to do.

6.Giving out unconditional affection- although dogs need human affection it is not the only thing they need to be happy and balanced. They actually need more discipline and structure and look for rules and sign of leadership a balance between discipline and love.

7.No demands for respect- the same way that no human will listen and give you respect because of gratitude is the same way dogs think. Always demand for respect and you will get it.

8.Privileges that they don’t deserve- this is quite common among dog owners mistakes and quite frankly it should not be tolerated. This is especially if the dog is displaying any kinds of problem with behavior or is under rehabilitation.

9.Allowing the dog to bark in the house or lead on walks- this goes to show that the dog is in control and not the owner. Dogs that bark too much in the house feel like they are in authority thus are decision makers.

10.Not allowing the dog to be just a dog- there are very many people who do not want their dogs to be dogs but humans. Know that they are very different from people thus they need to be dogs to be happy.

new invention ‘Dog mind reading’

written by: snowy22315

Everyone who has ever owned a dog has always wondered what is in a dogs mind. What is fido or fifi thinking? Although as most people know dogs are pretty good at communicating their needs and desires, there is now some things that you can actually do to make sure that you have a better idea what your dog is thinking. For those that have always wondered, and that may include most pet owners, using a dog mind reading device may let you know what your dog may be thinking. This may seem like the stuff of science fiction but truly these devices are being developed and researched at this very time.

A mind reading device has been invented that fits securely around your dog. This device measures the brainwaves that dogs transmit and can be a translating device to let you know exactly what your dog thinks when they are wearing this item. Those who have used the device have found that dog mind reading may actually be possible. Although the device has not proven to work conclusively at this point, it is possible to read basic brainwaves that the dog may be transmitting, and use them to find out what the dog may be hoping to do,it does some tracking of their emotional state and their arousal level.

The dog reading device, aptly named No More Woof is something that is supposed to read your dogs mind and translate those barks,woofs and arfs into something that is intelligible to people. The company www.fastcompany.com director Thomas Manzetti started with a machine that very simply read dog’s EEG. This translated into something simpler and larger than life. According to Mazetti the project used items that already existed. These would include a device that could read the dog’s EEG. The companies used an EPOC which was already available on various websites.

The EPOC was used to discern mental states in dogs. Once they used this EPOC device they could discern some very basic mental states in dogs. It is easy to determine when a dog is sleepy, calm or upset according to the device. The device also contains a cheap Raspberry Pi processor. There is also an entire Swedish team that has been working on the dog mind reading device. The website for the product is http://www.indiegogo,com/projects/no-morewoof.

This is the No More Woof device in a nutshell. The core emotions were easy to deal with but in terms of deeper emotions the devices complexity grew. The studio would like to track more nuanced thoughts. They wish to use an algorithm that can earn the thoughts your dogs may be thinking. They are hoping that the dog would speak in short sentences like “I would like to eat” or “I like to play with this ball.” Small print shows up on the device stating that you are supporting research and that it is not a finished product. So while the No more woof device is promising and affordable at only 65 dollars, it is not a finished and polished product that has been proven conclusively to read your dogs mind.

The main developer Mazetti is already thinking of other core concepts and other simple innovations and developments that could make the prototype easier to take advantage of and to use with the dogs of your choice. A complemetary system would be that the dog who thinks he is hungry would go up to a cupboard and easily be able to access a treat. Since dogs are very trainable and they are some of the ways that these devices would be able to be used for them to open a cupboard and easily access a treat if that is their intention. This would undoubtedly make your dog very happy indeed.

The emotion detecting radar would no doubt be overflowing with happiness when the dog comes around. It is obviously a leap going form reading dogs very basic emotions and instincts to processing complex thoughts and emotions, but face it, dogs are essentially very simple animals that do not have very complex thoughts. This device could allow dogs to easily learn the concepts of action and reward.Since dogs are very trainable, they will be able to possibly steer toward things, like cupboards, and can possibly steer toward things in its mind like a toy or of course the all important food. The application of this device is something that is felt all over. Although some people have felt that this idea is truly implausible the idea seems to bear merit as early experiments seem to show that it does indeed ready dogs emotional states and seems to have applicability in some research.settings with dog.

Some point out that the No More Woof device is never going to work as it works in humans since dogs do not process language in the way that humans do. In other words their language ability is limited. Even though this may only produce effects that are like visualizing the dogs behavior it should still be a fun way to observe the dogs behavior, and develop the ways that individuals can work with their dog and have fun observing their behavior.

These are some of the things that you can find and take advantage of a device that may make you a bit more in tune with your dogs behavior. Some point out the algoritms may be more like robotic responses mimicing siri,than actual indication of a dog’s thoughts. Critics of Woof No More point out that we can not accurately decode human speech reading EEG’s and if this is the case,why would we be able to decode dogs thoughts?The whole thing seems to be a bit far fetched and even a little ludicrous to some critical thinkers.

Other critics have pointed out that you may be buying the world’s most expensive chew toy that might only have a lifetime of less than a minute. However,whatever your feeling about Woof no more,evidence seems clear that this device can be a fun way to spend a few hours with man’s best friend and companion.

Lesson We Should Learn on Treating Our Pets

This Dog Spent 15 Years Being Chained to a Tree. Until This Man Rescued Him and Set Him Free.

written by: oliviashannon

Mani the Stafford shire Terrier was only a puppy when the people who owned and took care of him decided to tie him in their residence in Australia. Mani did love and like chewing things just like the other puppies and because his care takers never gave him the best things to chew and eat or even unchain him so that he could have some exercises or even give him good training, Mani decided to destroy the furniture. When he destroyed the furniture’s then his care takers decided to throw him out so that they he could not destroy other furniture’s and also so that they could save the remaining furniture’s they had. Whenever they threw him out, Mani would always escape and he had now known that there are more better places in the world where it was best for spending a living. The former owners of Mani would chain him up to a tree so that he would not escape. This happened for 15 years and he remained chained.

There came a man who fortunately found Mani and since he had a girlfriend they would not let Mani suffer alone and continue enduring suffering where he had been held as hostage. Mani was usually underfed and neglected completely. The couple did decide to approach the former owners of Mani and they did agree to provide Mani with a better life than the one he was having. Fortunately and out of luck the former owners did accept the offer.

Those who rescued Mani normally say that from interactions he had had with him several weeks looking for a new home where he could make his residence. He also said that he understands what means by being mistreated and how mistreating may do harm to the dogs behaviors. He also never showed any signs of aggression towards the dog but he also interacted well with the three-year-old cat, which he met in his new home. This couple did contact a friend who used to run a non-profit animal shelter and within the first week Mani had been and found a new home. The person who had decided to adopt the dog did send some photos of Mani and they looked so nice because they revealed that Mani was been fed properly and also strong as he was having enough exercise. He also looked nice free from his chains.

The elderly dogs rescuer said that regardless of what he did for Mani, it was about time for fact that his good dog lived out as a reminder of his years with a family that cared and a family that would treat him with enough respect and care that was well deserving. He also believed that since he was not living in America, so the place that he resided is also legal and as a bright person he believed that it was a right treating all animals with a high level of respect because being restrained in one place like Mani was restrained in a tree and also been starved is so inhuman.

The life lessons we learn from this article are;

We should not ignore our dogs

We should not leave our dogs out when it’s too cold or too hot

No matter how busy we are we should always have time with our dogs and other pets.

We are supposed to give our pets some comfort whenever they are scared

Never ever take out your stress with your pet

You should never get frustrated and give up on your pets

You should teach your pet new things.

You should take your pets to new places so as to visit other pet friends 

You should not abandon your pet when new people and family members arrive

How To Protect Your Dog From Hypothermia

written by: ambjrm2014

Keeping dogs warm and safe during winter’s harsh elements is at utmost importance to ensure a healthy, long life. When conditions become too cold for us, they are also too cold for our animals. Fur is a good insulator for our dogs, but it is not enough to keep all of them safe in the cold.

Some dogs are able to withstand the colder conditions, but most dogs need our help to keep warm. An example breed is Huskies, which are better suited to face the elements than your average dog.

Place Heaters Carefully If possible the best remedy to this is to bring your pets inside and arrange your house so they can maneuver safely. This includes moving heaters so they are not in the way of the playful, active puppy or dog. Also, do not let your dogs lay in front of heaters.

Place your heaters high if possible as some animals have been burnt from simply sleeping directly in front of a heater. Ensure that heaters are off the ground and cords are placed where animals cannot chew on them. When you use central heat, the air is dryer than your dog is used to.

Be sure to have fresh, cool water in your pets access at all times to help compensate for the loss of humidity in the air.

Limit Time Outdoors When your dog goes outside limit the time he spends outside and how much skin is exposed, including his foot pads. Hypothermia can set in sub-zero temperatures and the moisture in exposed skin is sure to chill quick.

Letting your dog stay outside for prolonged times can be extremely dangerous in severe temperatures. Also, make sure that the water supply outside is not frozen, so your dog will always have fresh water when he is outdoors too.

Older Pets or Chronic Illnesses If your pet is older, keep a close eye out for upcoming illnesses caused by extreme cold conditions. Cold weather can make arthritis worse for our older dogs.

Stock up on any medicine your dog may need from the vet before the weather gets back in the event that roads are not safe enough for travel. Also, pets who already have a chronic illness can have an increased chance of developing further problems when exposed to potential hypothermia situations. If you notice any new problems with your animal, contact your vet immediately.

The Best Defense One of the absolute best ways to ensure your pet is safe is to take these preventative steps ahead of the cold weather. If you know of a storm coming in and your have an outdoor dog, consider bringing him inside until the weather breaks. In some cases where this is not an option ensure he has a shelter outside, and try to put some insulation of some sort (hay, blankets, dog bed) inside for him. For dogs who are prone to chewing, do not allow them cloth for insulation. Heating mats can be purchased and placed in, or under, a dog house to help keep your pet warm.

How to Survive a Dog Attack

written by: TheJoker

There is probably nothing as frightening as getting attacked by a vicious dog. Breeds of dogs that are known to attack humans can weigh more than 150 pounds and kill a small child or even an adult easily. Having knowledge of what to do in case of a dog attack can help someone survive. 

 

A dog that is on the verge of attack is likely to be staring at its victim, deliberately moving towards him or her while growling, baring teeth and hair raising on back. When confronted by a threatening dog, it is advisable to stop, avoid eye contact and wait for it to exit the area. Should this not be possible, a person should slowly walk backwards until the animal is out of sight. Running away from a dog is a big mistake. Humans cannot outrun a dog, and trying to run away will only make an attack more likely by escalating the situation. 

 

In case an attack cannot be avoided, the victim should curl into a defensive posture. One should use any object in their hands to shield the face from the dog. If there is a nearby structure like a fence or a tree, the victim should try and use it as support. If the person under attack has a child with them, he or she should turn their back to the dog while placing hands firmly around the kid’s body. This not only prevents the dog from biting the kid, but also deters the kid from moving or running, something that would worsen the injuries. 

 

There is a commonly occurring image about dog attacks in the media. It usually shows an attacking dog jumping and grabbing the victim’s arms. Usually, the image is preceded by a protagonist wrestling with the dog after wrapping something around his or her arm. Such images are untrue and misleading. The canines uses to film such videos happen to be law enforcement animals trained to immobilize and restrain a target. An ordinary person is unlikely to be attacked by such a dog unless they are a criminal. They are likely to be faced by an aggressive dog that does not aim for the arm. Instead, it will aim for the neck and head. Protecting the head and neck must be done at all costs using the arms or any other nearby objects. If the victim has a child with them, the kid’s neck and head must be protected. 

 

In case the dog bites some limbs, the victim should not attempt to struggle to be free. The more a person struggles, the more severe his or her injuries will be. The victim should stay completely put, waiting for the animal to let go. Even if it lets go, they should continue staying still until it leaves. Although this seems rather difficult to do, one must try. Struggling and fighting back is the natural tendency. This urge should be resisted as struggling with a dog will only worsen the injuries incurred.

 

A victim is more likely to suffer life-threatening injuries if he or she is pushed to the ground by the dog. One should therefore try all they can to stay upright. If pushed to the ground, the victim should roll into a ball.

Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Allow Your Dog to Sleep in Your or your kids Bed

written by: Ruthie

As much as dogs are considered man’s best friend, one shouldn’t forget that they still are animals. Humans and animals are different and some things just don’t mix. Dogs are very faithful to their owners and caregivers and this tempts people to treat them as more, animals. 

On the other hand, there should be a limitation as to how close one lets their dogs get to their children. Kids are sensitive and more prone to diseases and accidents than adults are. Some people allow their dogs to lick their face, eat on the same plate as they do and even sleep on their beds. This habit should be highly discouraged due to some backed up facts.

1. Dogs Carry Diseases
An observation on dog habits will clearly tell just how dirty they are. For starters, dogs that sleep in kennels poop and sleep in the same place. Some even go to an extent of licking their own waste and rear end. 

On the other hand, when dogs get a hold of bones they can chew them for days, weeks and even months. These bones are prone to mold and rot yet these fur friends chew on them anyway. These facts go to show just how dirty and germ infested dogs mouths really are. When one allows their dogs to snuggle up next to their kids in bed they subject their little ones to all these germs.

2. Parasite Infested
Dogs scratch and itch all the time. There is no telling where a dog has been and this leads to their getting infested in fleas, mites, intestinal worms and parasites. No matter how clean your dog is, hanging out with an infested dog will make them carriers too. They bring these infestations home and when you allow them to snuggle with your child; these fleas jump around even to your child’s hair. The fleas jump all over the room and getting rid of them becomes a problem.

3. Prone to Accidents
It is always advisable that kids sleep in clean bedding at all times. A dog snuggling up next to your child might not be such a good idea. Dogs have accidents all the time especially untrained ones. This means that they can pee and/or poop in your child’s bed hence force them breathe in the dirty air all night long. This isn’t healthy and should be discouraged.

In the wild, dogs and their families, for instance wolves and foxes naturally operate in packs. Each pack has their own master to which the others have to obey and follow. For a dog to be faithful, it has to be put in its place at all times. Once a dog feels that it has authority over you, then they start being rogue. A dog that tends to insist on being on a high ground or next to their master, they believe that they own them. Some people may think that sleeping with their dog is a sign of affection and equality but a dog translates this differently. Dogs do not have equals; they either are the master or subject. Their sharing a bed with you outright means that they are the master. It is only a matter of time before it turns on your child.

Why Dogs Shake

Dogs Shaking Behavior: Different Reasons

written by: Chris_A

Dogs have many kinds of behaviors, some well known, others not so much. A very good question that is asked often is, why do dogs shake? The answer might be many fold.

Dogs evolved from domesticated wolves. And wolves were and are wild animals, living in a very dangerous environment. Survival for them is top priority. If you see a dog shake frantically after getting wet, it is because of the fact that he is wet. Being wet in the wilds is very dangerous.

A very wet coat, can increase the dogs weight many times, making it harder to run and escape enemies or hunt prey. If it is cold outside, getting dry can be a real problem and the dog could loose of lot of internal body heat. Thus, shaking can get a dog almost completely dry in a few seconds. A trait domesticated dogs probably inherited from their wolf ancestors.

Another reason dogs shake themselves is to literally shake off emotions. Dogs shake after getting into a fight with another dog, being yelled at, or if you hug and pet them. It is their way to deal with intense emotional moments and a way to cope with them and get back to their normal non emotional routine. Dogs, like humans, are very emotional beings.

Dogs shake to shake of imaginary objects from their coat. This trait is also a remnant of the wild wolf ancestor to modern dogs. In the wild, wolves would normally sleep on the ground, full of dirt, dried leaves, pebbles but also insects and parasites, like bugs and fleas and other animals.

The instinct remains, and after they wake up, dogs shake to get rid of all of these imaginary things. Even if your dog has a cozy dog house or a clean shelter, where he usually sleeps, he still does this.

If you clean or brush your dog much, you might notice that he would shake wildly after. This is also very normal. Dogs do not really enjoy excessive touching or petting or a lot of tugs.

The idea here, is that the skin of dogs is very loose. Much more loose then human skin. This is an advantage for getting dry, because the skin of a dog moves much faster then its backbone, and when dogs shake, they can get very dry very fast because of the free moving loose skin. If you excessively touch and groom your dog, the skin gets into uncomfortable positions around the dogs body, thus, by shaking, the dog just simply puts his skin back to normal.

Of course there are many other reasons as well. A dog could have a skin irritation, or an object stuck to his coat, that he wants to get rid off. He could also just ask for a loving massage.

It is very interesting, though, that among many other behaviors, shaking directly reminds us that dogs were once wild animals, and much of those wild, ancient animal instincts still remain in them.

2. Extreme grooming camel dog

What Dog has the Strongest Bite?

What Dog has the Strongest Dog Bite ? German Shepherd Bite Force – 238 PSI . Doberman  Bite Force – 245 PSI  . American Bull Dog Bite Force – 305 PSI.   African Wild Dog  Bite Force – 317 PSI.  Rottweiler Bite Force – 328 PSI.  Wolfdog. Bite Force – 406 PSI.  English Mastiff  Bite Force – 556 PSI.
Kangal  Bite Force – 743 PSI

Dogs are one of the most loved pets in the world. Because of these canines’ close living proximity to humans, it is of great interest to know which of the various dog breeds have the strongest dog bites.

Drs. Brady Barr and Joe Camp were one of the brave souls who set out to determine which canine species have the strongest bite back in 2005. Using digital bite meters, the researchers were able to measure bite force in pounds per square inch, or PSI. Results, which were featured in National Geographic, showed that larger dogs have stronger biting force than smaller ones.

What is PSI?

PSI is a unit made to calculate the pressure released upon any given point. The full meaning of psi is “Pound per Square Inch” or “Pound-force per Square Inch”. PSI is a measured result of all the pressure applied over one square inch of a pound. It is a very commonly used system and is easy to understand for even some of the most scientifically challenged people. To understand this a little better, take a tire for example. The average tire’s pressure generally falls around 32 psi or pounds per square inch.

According to various studies, these dog breeds have the strongest dog bite of them all:
