Ever desire people would provide your reactive canine area on walks?

My personal guideline is to leave lots of area between the canine I’m walking as well as any type of oncoming people or dogs.

Most of my canine walking clients’ dogs are friendly, however some are not comfortable with strangers reaching out as well as touching them (can you blame them?).

So, I want to share a situation that occurs quite commonly when I’m walking dogs as well as a major error I made recently.

Normally if I’m walking a canine as well as somebody in the community stops me to chat about the canine it’s because they’re familiar with the dog. typically they online on the exact same street as the canine or something like that as well as have interacted with the canine before.

When this happens, I judge the circumstance based on the dog. If I understand the canine likes all people, then it’s no huge deal. I typically let the person greet the dog. If I don’t understand the canine extremely well or if I understand the canine is whatsoever fearful or reactive, we just keep walking.

Well, I made a error recently.

I made a poor judgement call.

I was walking two 90-pound dogs that are well trained however not excessively affectionate. They won’t growl at a random person, however they’re not thrilled about people petting them as well as one can get a bit anxious when his area is invaded.

So, when a neighbor stated hi to these two dogs on our walk as well as began talking as if he understood them, I hesitated however stopped as well as let him approach. (Should’ve kept walking.)

He called the dogs by name, but I might tell the dogs were not thinking about interacting. They weren’t tense, however they were looking away, sniffing the grass, etc.

I ought to have stated hi rapidly as well as then kept walking because, remember, I don’t understand this person.

Then the guy did something that absolutely horrified me.

He got down on the ground as well as put his deal with best as much as one of the dogs.

O NE LAN?!

I was screaming inside, however I understood if I tugged on the leash there was a small possibility the tension could cause an aggressive reaction.

I likewise didn’t want to tell the guy to back off since his quick retreating movement might likewise cause an aggressive response.

So what I did was make that pleased “click-click” noise with my tongue, complied with by “Here boy!”

İşe yaradı.

The canine counted on me, as well as I patted his side to simplicity the tension a bit as well as increase his confidence.

Then we got outa there.

Reminders for adults around dogs

I’m the one who made the mistake in the above situation by not protecting my dogs.

However, I likewise want to listing out a few reminders that grown adults don’t seem to follow.

Rules around dogs

Do not put your deal with as much as any type of canine unless you are 99 percent sure the canine is okay with it. This can scare, difficulty or endanger a dog.

Just since you’ve satisfied a canine before doesn’t imply the canine keeps in mind you or is comfortable with you.

If a canine is not showing rate of interest in interacting with you by sniffing, wiggling his body, wagging his tail, leave the canine alone.

Stand or sit with your side to the canine instead of face-to-face.

Those are the rules I comply with with all of my clients’ dogs, foster dogs as well as other dogs I interact with.

Yes, I’ve made errors as well (read them here). kimse mükemmel değildir.

But I’m hoping the above “rules” can at least get people to believe about their habits around dogs.

Dog enthusiasts can be the absolute worst since we have this belief that “Oh I like dogs! Onlar benden hoşlanır!”

Have you discovered that if you tell a canine enthusiast your canine is aggressive, it’s practically like an open invitation for the person to show you wrong?

So, so frustrating! as well as scary. Unless you’ve walked an aggressive dog, you would not believe what people will do. Actually, I’d like to hear your stories!

The bottom line is, a true canine enthusiast aspects dogs as well as understands that even if she knows a canine well, that doesn’t imply he’s thinking about being hugged, kissed, cuddled, etc.

I’ve been growled at by dogs for stupidly trying to hug them when they were not okay being hugged by me. say thanks to goodness the dogs was polite sufficient to growl rather than bite.

Have you ever been in a poor circumstance with a dog?

Evcil köpeğimden memnun olmanın üç nedeni Kennel eğitimli

Bir evcil köpek veya köpek yavrusu eğitiminin tüm avantajlarını seviyorum! Bir sandık, köpek yavrusu veya evcil köpeğimin gelecekteki özgürlüğüne izin verecek bir araç olarak görüyorum.

Bir sandık kullanmamayı seviyorsanız da iyidir. Ben sadece kişisel olarak birçok fayda gördüğümü söylüyorum, bu da devam edeceğim. (Kennel/Crate kelimelerini bu yazıda birbirinin yerine kullanıyorum.)

Genç Weimaraner’ım için bir sandık için değerli olmasının birçok nedeninden sadece birkaçı:

• Çiğneme gibi kötü rutinleri durdurmak • Lazımlık eğitimi konusunda yardım • Ona rahatlamak için bir yer verdi • Seyahat sırasında güvenlik

Bu yazı, evcil hayvan sandıkları, kapılar, evcil köpek yatakları ve daha fazlasını yapan bir şirket olan Carlson Pet Products tarafından desteklenmektedir.

Evcil köpeğimin köpek kulübesi eğitimli olmasının üç nedeni

1. Bir kulübe evcil köpeğimi iyi davranışlar için hazırladı

Remy şimdi yaklaşık 3 yaşında ve evde yalnız ve geceleri onu gevşek bırakmaya başlıyoruz. Onunla çiğneme, havlama, çöp veya karşı sörf içine girerken sıfır sorun yaşadık. Remy evde olmadığımızda evcil köpek yatağında rahatlar.

Bunun, ilk iki yıl boyunca Remy’yi yalnız bırakıldığında her zaman kulübesinde/sandığında bıraktığımız gerçeğiyle doğrudan ilgili olduğuna inanıyorum. Bu normalde sadece bir iki saatti çünkü eşim ve ben de evden çalışıyoruz.

Yavru köpeğimiz, sandığında bir Kong oyuncağını çiğnemeyi veya geri dönene kadar sessizce kesmeyi öğrendi. Bu kesinlikle stresli olmayan, düzenli bir olaydı.

Bu köpek yavrusu günlerinde bir sandık kullanmasaydık, evcil köpeğimin eşyalarımızı çiğnemek, havlamak, sörf yapmak veya yalnız bırakıldığında çöpe girmek gibi son derece kötü rutinler geliştireceğine inanıyorum.

Sadece bir sandık kullanmanın gelecekte nasıl daha fazla özgürlüğe neden olabileceğini göstermek istedim! Sandığımızı katlamayı ve garajda saklamayı düşünüyorum ama sahip olduğumuz için çok minnettarım!

2. Seyahat için Kennel Eğitimi

Genç evcil köpeğim 2.5 yılında biraz seyahat etmeye başladı! Aileyi kontrol etmek için birkaç uzun yol gezisi yaptık. Milli parkların yakınındaki birkaç otelde kaldık. Air B & BS’ye gitti. Ülke çapında San Diego’dan Montana’ya taşındık ve onu üç hafta boyunca Wisconsin’deki ailemin evinde bile bıraktım.

Tüm bu “maceralar” için Carlson Pet ürünlerinden bir sandık olması çok değerli oldu. Örneğin, Yosemite’e gittiğimizde ve evcil hayvan dostu bir kulübede kaldığımızda, akşam yemeğine gidip bizim köpek yavrusu odamızı yok etmediğini bilerek geri tekme atabildik, böylece bizim sandığımız vardı.

Ve ailemin evinde, evcil hayvan bakıcılarımızda kaldığında, hiçbir şey çiğnemeyeceğini veya herkesi uyandırmayacağını bilerek geceleri sandığına koyabildiler.

Bence bir köpek kulübesi seyahat etmek için çok uygun. İdeal olarak, sonsuza dek bir tane kullanmanız gerekmeyecek, ancak genç köpekler için herkes için önemli bir kaygı rahatlatıcısıdır! (Evcil köpek dahil çünkü sandıkta geri dönmeyi biliyor.)

3. ziyaretçilerimiz olduğunda köpek kulübesi eğitimi

Birkaç arkadaşımız oldu ve ailemiz bizimle kaldı ve evcil köpeğimin köpek kulübesi eğitimli olmasına sevindim. Geceleri kulübesinde kalıyor, bu yüzden herkesi uyandırmıyor.

Tatiller boyunca, bir hafta boyunca ailenin bizimle kalmasını planlıyoruz ve bu süre zarfında Remy geceleri sandığında uyursa herkes için çok daha kolay olacaktır.

Evcil köpeğimden memnun kalmamın ek nedenleri köpek kulübesi eğitimli:

Çeviklik – İşleyicileri kursu öğrenmek için dışarı çıktığında köpeklerin bir sandıkta beklemesi beklenir.

Veteriner kalır – Birçok veteriner, bir gecede veya gün boyunca birkaç saat kalması gereken bireyler için bir “sandık gibi” köpek kulübesi kullanır.

Damatlar-Profesyonel damatlar genellikle müşterileri için sandık benzeri kulübeler kullanır

Doğal Afetler – Senaryolar veya acil durumlar nedeniyle evcil köpeğinizi kasırga gibi kontrolünüzden ne zaman sandallemeniz gerekebileceğini asla bilemezsiniz.

Uçmak – Ana kabinde binmek için çok büyük bir evcil köpek ile uçmanızı tavsiye etmiyorum. Bununla birlikte, genellikle hayat bize sınırlı seçenekler sunar ve evcil köpeğinizin kargo bölümünde bir sandıkta binmesi gerekebilir.

Bir sandık kullanmayı tercih ederseniz …

Bir evcil köpek sahibi bir sandık kullanmamayı seçerse kesinlikle iyi. Hiç sandık kullanmamış birçok insan biliyorum ve köpekleri gayet iyi!

Öte yandan, evcil köpeğinizin en azından yukarıda belirttiğim yaşam durumları durumunda kısa sürede bir sandıklara girmeyi kabul etmesi zarar göremez. Bir sandık köpeğiniz için büyük bir anlaşma değilse, o zaman daha az stresli olurHiç kısa sürede bir tane kalması gerekiyor.

Bir asansöre binmek, çeviklik engellerine tırmanmak veya tırnaklarını kırpmak için eğitebileceğiniz gibi, evcil köpeğiniz için çok daha fazla deneyim ekleyerek eğitimin bir parçası olarak düşünün.

30 Günlük Mücadele: Köpeğinizi 30 yeni yere götür (Garaj Satışı)

Bugün, 30 günlük zorluğumun üçüncü günüydü. Bugün, yeni bir caddede yürürken ve o caddede iki garaj satışına giderek üçünü bir araya getiriyoruz.

Ace sırt çantasını ve çimdik yakasını kullandı, bu yüzden en iyi davranışındaydı. Bir kutu kadar yürüdü ve bu timsahı 25 sent seçti. Benim gibi kuruşlar olduğum için mutlumla gurur duyuyorum.

10 commands every dog should know

Here are 10 commands or cues every dog owner should work to perfect with his or her dog beyond the basics.

Of course, the words you decide to use are not as important as how your dog responds to the commands.

Other words could be substituted for my suggestions. For example, the word “give” would work just fine instead of “drop.”

In the comments, let me know what other words you think are important for every dog to learn.

Here are the 10 commands to teach your dog

1. teach your dog the command drop.

It’s important for a dog to know the drop command so he will drop whatever he has in his mouth if he’s not supposed to have it. It could be a shoe, towel, a baby toy or any object.
It’s also nice when a dog will drop his own toy on command when you are playing fetch or you simply want to end a play session or put the dog’s toys away.

2. teach your dog the command off.

This command is important to teach your dog for when he jumps up on people or jumps on the furniture. many people make the mistake of saying “down” in these situations. This is a mistake because most dogs have been trained to lie down when they hear the word “down.” “Down” should mean lie down, and “off” should mean get off the furniture or person.

See my post: how to teach your dog OFF

3. teach your dog to leave it.

Leave it is a good command to teach your dog for anything you don’t want him to touch. You can say “leave it” while referring to a stick, food, other dogs, a cat, people, whatever it might be. Leave it simply means leave it alone!

4. teach your dog a command for go to the bathroom such as “hurry up.”

I tell my dog to hurry up every time I want him to go to the bathroom. He will literally pee on command. I have taught him this because I used to live in North Dakota and it got really old standing outside in the cold late at night waiting for him to go to the bathroom.

5. teach your dog a release word such as “OK.”

I use the word “OK” as a release for anything I’ve told my dog to do. When he’s in a sit position, he is supposed to sit until I say “OK.” The same goes with stay, down, stand, etc. I wrote a post on the importance of the release command here.

6. teach your dog to heel.

Bu kendisi için konuşur. To avoid my dog pulling me down the street and making daily walks almost unbearable, I have to teach him to walk properly on a leash. Heel means walk at my side at my speed. this one is easier said than done, and I think it will be a lifetime process for Ace to perfect it, but I refuse to have a dog pulling me on a walk.

7. teach your dog to wait.

This command is a little different than the stay command. Basically, stay means stay until I return and release you. wait means wait until I say it’s ok for you to follow me. For example, I tell Ace to wait while I open the door before our walk. I also tell him to wait if he is in the automobile and I’m about to let him out. In both situations, I want him to wait until I am ready to deal with him.

See: stay vs. wait

8. teach your dog all the basic commands.

All dogs deserve to know the basics such as sit, down, stay, come and no! These commands help dogs fit into our society. A dog is not well trained unless it knows at least these five words. I can’t think of living with a dog and not teaching it basic obedience. The possibilities for what we can teach our dogs go on and on, but these commands are something to start with.

9. teach your dog to go to his bed.

This command is important for when you need your dog to lie down and relax. It wouldn’t have to be a bed, it could be a blanket or towel or pillow. The key is to train your dog to lie down and relax in one spot. This can be valuable when you have visitors over or when you’re eating dinner or just watching TV and your dog needs to take a break from playing and “chill out.”

See my post: how to teach a dog to go to his bed

10. teach your dog the command load up.

This is a good command for when you want your dog to get in the car. My dog loves the car, and he used to bound right in as soon as I opened any automobile door. This was a problem when I was trying to put other things in the back seat before my dog.

If Ace was excited, he’d jump in the automobile before I even had the door all the way open. I hate it when a dog is barging ahead of me, or practically tearing my arm off in order to get somewhere, so the wait command followed by the load up command helps to prevent this.

What are some other important commands you have taught your dog?

How to switch A canine From Kibble to Raw canine Food

When transitioning your canine from kibble to raw, is it best to do a slow transition by mixing the old food with the new for several days? Or is it best to just switch over best away?

You can do either.

There are pros and cons to both.

You’ll have to decide what’s best for your own dog.

How to switch a canine From Kibble to Raw

My recommendation is to do a slow transition when switching to a commercial raw canine food brand like Darwin’s. Do a fast transition when switching to a homemade raw diet using grocery store meat such as chicken quarters.

Açıklamama izin ver.

Option #1: slow transition to Raw

Best when switching from kibble to a commercial raw diet because commercial raw canine food brands tend to have less bacteria than grocery store meat.

The slow transition is what many vets seem to recommend in my experience. It’s also what many commercial raw canine food brands recommend.

If you purchase a frozen, pre-made raw canine food brand, the back of the bag will many likely have a recommendation for a slow transition like:

feed 75% old food and 25% new for 5 days,
then 50/50 for 5 much more days,
then 75/25 for a few days and eventually 100% raw

The slow transition seems to work well, especially when feeding a commercial raw brand.

Option #2: fast transition to Raw

Best when switching from kibble to a homemade raw diet.

This is a good option if you are concerned about your canine running into digestive troubles from trying to digest the two types of food – kibble and raw canine food.

Dogs typically digest raw food faster than kibble and some end up getting sick when the two are mixed.

If you do the quick transition, I recommend you fast your canine for about 18 hours. This is to make sure the kibble is out of his system. Then, give him a small raw meal.

If all goes well, feed him another raw meal in about 12 hours. After that, continue to feed 100% raw but stick to the same protein for at least a week.

You don’t want to introduce too numerous new foods at once.

Why is the fast transition best when switching to homemade raw?

Grocery store meat tends to have much more bacteria on it than commercial raw canine food because raw canine food companies have to go through some strict policies for controlling bacteria.

Grocery store meat, on the other hand, is certainly intended for cooking so there’s less issue about bacteria.

When the raw grocery store meat (and extra bacteria) is mixed with kibble in some cases it makes the canine sick because the kibble causes everything to sit in the gut longer, giving the bacteria much more time to grow.

The bacteria on the meat is typically no big deal for dogs, but in some cases problems occur when the food is mixed with kibble.

I tend to feed homemade raw myself because it’s much more affordable.

Should you feed your canine pre-made raw or homemade raw?

I recommend you start with a commercial raw brand like Darwin’s for a month or two and then tackle the homemade option if you’re up for it.

Darwin’s even provides a trial option for new customers. You can get 10 pounds of raw food for just $14.95. That’s up to 75% off! learn much more here.

I know store-bought raw canine food is expensive, but it’s just so much simpler and less tension for beginners than trying to make the food yourself.

That’s just my opinion. You can certainly do whatever you want!

What if my canine gets sick from raw food?

When a canine gets sick after switching to raw food it’s typically because:

the change was too fast or
the dog’s stomach is upset from the combination of the two types of foods

Dogs rarely get sick from the actual raw meat unless their immune systems are already weakened or they have other health problems.

See my post, will my canine get sick from raw meat?

So, to summarize:

When switching your canine to a raw diet, I recommend you slowly transition them by mixing kibble with a frozen raw brand.

Then, if you choose you want to make the food yourself, switch from commercial raw to homemade raw after a month or two.
