The Ultimate Guide For Dog Grooming Tips to Keep Your Dog Cool

Loving and caring for your dog is more than simply feeding them on time and giving them water to drink. A dog's body works differently than ours, and no two dogs have the same body type, just as humans do.

The responsibility of keeping healthy is actually huge and hard. There are many things a pet parent has to do every couple of days to help their live a healthy life.

Best Grooming Tips for your Pups

Here is a list of things you can and should do for your puppy every few days:

Give your pet a Bath

Bathing your dog regularly gets rid of skin irritants and cleans your dog's coat and skin. This helps your dog stay itch-free, germ-free and happy. If you have a dog that does not have a coat of fur, then you can bathe your dog twice a week. However, if your pet has a coat of fur, then you will need to bathe them every second day.

Brushing

No matter what type of coat your dog has, brushing is important for every type of pet. Do not misunderstand the logic behind brushing your fur coat. There is more to just adding to your dog's beauty with brushing.

Brushing brings out the underlying insects that may be lingering on her body. Other than this, brushing prevents your dog's coat from matting and giving them discomfort. If possible, you should brush her coat every day. There are many luxury dog accessories, such as an insect repelling dog collar or a brush made specifically for removing ticks.

TIP: If your dog doesn't like to be brushed, you can use a dog grooming glove. These special gloves are made in soft silicone and give your dog an enjoyable massage while removing excessive hair from your pet.

The de-shedding gloves have small grooming nubs and softly massage your dog whitout hurting their skin. You can easily collect the hair and peel it off in one piece.
They are perfect for sensitive and young pets who don't like to be brushed with a normal brush.

Check out the video below this article to see how the dog grooming glove works, and how dogs enjoy being brushed with it.

Clipping Nails

When you have a dog, there are many things you need to do for them, including clipping nails. Dog's nails can grow quite long and will pose a horrible problem to them and you. Longer nails can bend and break easily. Broken nails can also bleed. However you look at it, broken nails are painful and are uncomfortable for your pet. To get rid of this, clip your pet nails once a week. But do not use a normal clipper or a baby nail clipper for your pet; you may hurt your pet, this can be found under the listings for luxury dog accessories.

Cleaning Their Paws and Other Care

The paws of puppy are extremely sensitive. And since your four-legged friend loves to run around everywhere, the paws get dirty. Every time dog goes out, remember to clean your dog's paws. Remember to check for some wounds on the paws and if you find any, treat them immediately. Other than this, if it is hot outside, remember to take necessary precautions before you take your dog out. Get them some shoes to battle the hot pavements.

Caring for them is quite hard. There are many things you need to take care of. However, making use of situation-specific, such as using tick removing brushes, anti-bacterial shampoos, etc., can help you take better care of your pet.

Dog Walking Etiquette

There is no guidebook or specific rules about how you should walk your dog. But similarly to how you should behave in a public setting, there is a dog walking etiquette. So here is a couple of things you should and/or shouldn't do while taking your companion.

Control your pet.

There are different levels of control you can exercise on your pet. While walking you should not let you dog walk-up to random people unless they say it is okay to do so. Some people are allergic and other afraid of dogs.

Controlling your dog also means that it does not walk-up to other dogs. Some dogs do not tolerate stranger dogs, or are just afraid and intimated which could result in aggressive behavior.

To avoid losing control on your pooch, keep him or her on a short leash especially in crowded environments. A longer lead may be used for more remote walking areas such as trails or parks.

Always, keep your dog on the leash unless at the park or in a fenced area. You never know what or who might come out from behind the next bush. This is a safety precaution. Prevent your dog from barking too much. It is relatively okay once or twice but constant barking is a noise nuisance to the neighborhood.

Pick-up after your dog!

This may seem like the most obvious one out there, but there are way too many dog owners that do not pick-up after their dog goes to the bathroom. Be courteous to other owners and pets. No one wants to see, smell or step into what your pooch has left behind.

A reason why there are only a limited number of beaches that allow dogs, is people not picking-up. Go out prepared and always carry bags with you to pick up after your pet. This allows for a clean environment at all times.

Know the limits of your dog.

Each dog and dog breed is different. Know how far your pooch can go. Choose the appropriate weather and terrain to keep both you and your dog comfortable. If you are training or conditioning your dog, make sure you do your research or consult an expert to provide only the best. Studying your pet's behavior can help determine what type of environment is best.

There are three main dog walking etiquettes out there. Apply control over your pet when outside. Pick-up after your dog if he or she leaves a mess. Finally, make sure you know how far your dog can go. Overall, walking your dog should be a fun, relaxing, and enjoyable experience for both pet and owner.

Train Your Dog to Play With His Toys In a Nice Way And Not Destroy Them

A dog that destroys his toys.

Do you have a toy destroyer dog? Are you spending a lot of money buying expensive dog toys and you see how he converts them to small pieces in just minutes?

Well let me tell you that you might think this is a highly expensive dog hobby to afford, not to mention that it will harm you dog because he may consume the small destroyed pieces of plastic, wood or whatever the material of the toy is.

It also makes your dog has less toys to play, thus he'll start chewing bigger things like your home furniture. In this article I'll try to help you solve that problem, so that your dog can still enjoy his toys in a safer way.

The strategy to avoid this aggressive behaviour.

The strategy I'm about to explain you is excellent for that type of dog called "happy go lucky", these type of dogs enjoy destroying things all the time. In case you have another type of dog: stressed and sensitive and toys protectors, this technique won't work.

So the first thing to understand is about the appropriate toys you should get for your strong chewing dog. Buying the proper toys for these kind of animals, will be more secure for him and less expensive for your pocket. The key here is to get bigger toys of what you use to buy him.

Teach him the right way to play with his toys.

So you get nice toys for your dog, now is the time to teach him how to have fun with them without destroying them. Sometimes the most strongest toys in the market are no challenge for strong chewing dogs. So to begin with ask him to do a trick he knows or just to sit. In the event he complies, just give him the toy and stay there with him.

If he plays normally with the toy give him a treat as prize. When I say playing normally I mean mouthing the toy or moving the toy nicely. But if he starts to destroy the toy, just say eh! or hey! to make him stop. When he starts playing nicely with the toy again, reward him again and stay there with him until he stops playing with the toy.

After that hide the toy so he can't find it, and start the routine the next training session. Do this in front of the TV, to get better results.

What is he doesn't pay attention to you when playing with the toy.

In case he doesn't stop the destroying behavior when you say eh! or hey! you can try clapping your hands to change his focus to you. The most important thing here is not to punish your dog, but to stop him the aggressive behavior.

Don't do this in case your dog looks very tense when chewing, this means that your pet has very string issues of safeguarding. In the event the clapping doesn't work, spray him quickly with a spray bottle containing water.

What to do when the toy is new.

Don't leave your dog alone when you get him a new toy. You need to be sure that he has understand that a new toy is not something he just can destroy. You may experience that he might learn the lesson for old toys, but not for new ones, so apply the technique for new toys as well until you notice he plays nicely with the new ones as well.

After you notice the progress start leaving him alone with the strongest toys for short periods of time. What will happen is that you'll keep him busy and prevent him of getting anxious. After some time, you'll notice your dog will start playing nicely with these strong toys, thus you can start giving him other types of toys he might enjoy to play with.

Remember to apply the technique every time you bring him a new one regardless if it's a strong one or a normal one.

Puppy Training - Tips Reducing Bad Habits

A puppy can be prone to whining, barking and, in particular, chewing its way around the house as it explores the world around it and wants to learn what tastes nice and what does not.

The whining, barking and chewing is going to happen. Make no mistake.

Though by training your puppy in the right way from the outset, you can take positive action to train away the whining, barking and chewing to a large extent.

Bear in mind that every puppy is different and will lean right and wrong at different rates. Patience is the key with the time and effort you put in also helping to build that unbreakable bond between puppy and owner.

The barking and whining is entirely normal. It's how dogs communicate. However if the barking and whining becomes regular and prolonged it can quickly become an issue and difficult to do anything about. So start to build in to your puppy training routine steps aimed to cut down on unnecessary barking and whining.

There are a number of steps you can try here. For example:

The whining could be a sign that your puppy wants to toilet. Learn to recognise the signs and take puppy to their toilet spot.

It could be that puppy is hungry, thirsty or otherwise distressed. Again - learn to read the signs and act accordingly. Puppy should always have access to fresh, clean water and be fed regularly. If distressed, look for indications of illness and think about a trip to the vet if necessary.

It could be boredom and attention seeking. Make sure puppy has toys to play with and of course give them attention yourself.

If puppy is whining or barking just to be "naughty" then that's not what you want. I'd suggest not giving in to such behaviour and instead teaching puppy that it's not a good idea to try it on by taking them to their bed to sit and stew for a while or simply ignoring them. Yes, I know it's hard but a bit of "tough love" is necessary from time to time.

When it comes to chewing stuff up - it's going to happen. Puppies are inquisitive things and they explore with their mouths. Hmmmm, I wonder what that tastes like?" they say to themselves when eyeing up your favourite pair of shoes or favourite chair.

Unless you do something about it, that puppy will grow in to a dog which will keep chewing your stuff up because they think it's OK. It's not...

When you do find your favourite shoes destroyed, do not punish puppy. Clear up the mess and act normally. No fuss. Of course if you see puppy shaping up to take a bite out of anything, divert them on to something else before it happens.

Distract by giving them their favourite chew toy for example. And make a big fuss of them for doing the "right" thing. Teach them that when they are "good" they get a rewarded by with your affection.

Also look around your home and try to anticipate what puppy might fancy getting their teeth around and put those things out of puppy's reach.

The simple steps outlined may seem straightforward - and they are - however they are also effective in puppy training to help with reducing their tendency to whine and chew.

I hope you have found this of use should you have, or be thinking about, getting a puppy. If either do apply to you, then you may like to check out this online course on puppy training tips for beginners. Separation anxiety is something to be aware of also.

Puppy Training Tips: Stop Puppy Nipping

Puppies have sharp teeth. And as they instinctively use their mouths to explore and taste things (including you) and when playing, those sharp teeth hurt when puppy takes a nip at you with them. You are going to get nipped by your new puppy. Accept that as a fact. However there are steps you can take to discourage them from doing so and protect yourself from scratches and cuts from those sharp little teeth at the same time.

Given that nipping is natural for puppy to do - for example they do it to their siblings as part of growing up and developing - so one step to take is to try to socialise your puppy with other dogs.

Let them do what comes naturally to them if possible. You may then find that they are calmer when back in your company as they've had their fun with the other dogs and are them less inclined to take a nip at you when they think they are playing and see you as a dog substitute.

There's another beneficial by-product of mixing your puppy with other dogs. Puppy will learn how to interact with their fellow canines which can help when out for a walk for example because puppy has picked up essential doggy social skills.

Just as you and I played with other children in the area when we were young and learned at the same time, you can allow your puppy to do the doggy equivalent.

Another method you might use to help reduce puppy's tendency to take a nip at you is to build correct behaviour in to your regular training routine and general interaction with your puppy. Basically, encourage and reward good behaviour but do not punish bad behaviour.

Whilst that may sound like a contradiction, it's really not.

If you do punish puppy for bad behaviour, expect retaliation. Puppy does not know why they are being punished and they will (forgive me a slight pun) bite back - quite literally - with those sharp teeth and take a nip at you because they see it as an attack and it is their instinct to fight back. Well, wouldn't you?

When puppy decides it's time to take a nip at you, instead of getting yourself worked up, shouting at them or (even worse) hitting them (please don't do that) try ignoring them until they stop, gently but firmly put them back on the carpet or even in their bed.

Then when they do stop, are back on the floor, in their bed etc. give them lots and lots of praise.

By doing this, you are teaching puppy that when they nip they do not get your attention until they have stopped.

And when they do stop they get your praise. Much more fun for puppy. Taking these simple steps should help to reduce puppy's nipping instinct and you will have a better trained, better behaved puppy as a result.

Puppy Training Tips: Walking on the Lead and Reducing Jumping

Whilst jumping up at people may be cute, not everyone enjoys a dog leaping up all around them. Indeed, with a big, powerful dog it can be dangerous and harmful. In a similar way, puppy pulling you around all over the place when out for a walk may be natural for the puppy but is behaviour to train them out of as unless you do so, that pulling will become harder and harder for you to control as puppy grows in to an adult dog.

Therefore - it is important that you train your new puppy properly from the outset how to walk nicely on their lead and also not to jump up at people. Teach your puppy how to behave the "right" way.

An easy way to discourage jumping is every time they do it (jump up at you or someone else) is to put their paws back on to the floor, so they are back in a standing position, and give them plenty of positive praise. The general idea being to teach puppy that if he or she doesn't jump up then nice things happen and they get fussed instead.

The best time to do that, of course, is when the puppy is still small and easy to handle. When the puppy jumps up on you or someone else, gently place the puppy's feet back on the floor. When the dog remains standing there, be sure to praise it extensively.

Another technique is to simply ignore their attention seeking (I know, it's difficult) until they realise it is not going to get them what they are after. Then when puppy has calmed down - then you give them positive praise and a bit of a fuss. In a similar way to the paws back on the floor approach, you are teaching puppy that nothing good happens until they stop jumping. When they do, they get a nice fuss as a reward.

Teaching puppy to walk well on the lead and not pull is another essential early skill to teach them.

You will (obviously) need a good collar and lead. Different breeds of dog may have particular needs here (greyhounds for example need a specific style of collar to support their necks). I suggest taking some advice from your local pet store as to the best collar and lead for your puppy.

Also, for example, if you opt for a body harness-style affair, put it on to puppy and allow them to wander around the house getting used to wearing it before venturing outside.

Then it's time to start training puppy in how to walk nicely at your side. Start small. I suggest nipping out in to the garden or back yard to begin with. Give puppy a little slack on the lead, but no too much. When they start to pull and want to go have a look around, quickly change the direction and give a gentle tug on the lead to get puppy back at your side then give them back that bit of slack on the lead.

Repeat every time puppy starts to pull or want to go explore. The idea here is that you are in control and not subject to following the whim of your puppy to go anywhere they please. If you do allow puppy to do that, you are encouraging it to happen and it will get worse.

By simple correction you are teaching puppy how to walk calmly at your side. A much better behaved and easier to handle dog when you are out for "walkies".

Consistency is key with puppy training to instil the "right" behaviour. A well-trained, well behaved puppy will develop in to a well-trained, well behaved adult dog who is credit to you as the owner and your training skills.

Yes! Dogs Get Emotionally Attached To You

Dogs are said to be man's best friend. And undoubtedly, they are! They are always there when you need them and never let you feel alone. They can really lighten up someone's mood. Their love is endless. The world has witnessed many stories which tell us how a dog is incomplete with its parent.

A man in New Jersey suffering from clinical depression, read about the beneficial presence of dogs and brought a golden retriever home. He suddenly started feeling responsible and felt this strong need to live.

This is just one example. Dogs have been very faithful to men since ages.

It is seen that many times pet owners too develop a relationship with their pet, similar to that of a parent and child. This bond is called "secure base effect".

Sometimes dogs are very cautious and careful in the beginning but they can sometimes be goofy and overdo it. But they will be fine once they get comfortable around you.

For most dogs, the attachment they feel towards their owner is fundamental to their well-being. It is studied that while dogs enjoy each other's company, human attention is what they crave. You may not realize when your dog gets too much attached to you, and that attachment becomes intense to an extent that if you leave your dog for even a day or two, they stop behaving normal. They stop playing. They stop eating. All they need that time is you.

Puppies can sometimes get along with you immediately, if you spend time with them and treat them well. It is very natural for a dog to bond with its owner and if both of them trust each other, then the process happens very quickly. And from there start a happy love story as with time that puppy becomes an irreplaceable part of your life.

Sometimes when dogs are in stress due to some reason they can become very clingy. Older dogs can also show clinginess and over attachment because of deteriorating senses. That is the time when you need to understand them well and take proper care of them. They need you that time, and you should be there with them.

With all the love dogs give us, we should give them the same love in return. We should give them enough time, go on walks with them and play with them. Give them hugs and talk to them. It's a beautiful world with a dog as a pet. Cherish that.

Important Considerations Before Buying a Puppy

You have always wanted a dog. Perhaps you have retired and fancy taking long walks with your new best pal. Or perhaps the kinds have been pestering you to get a puppy and you have finally caved in. But before you rush out to make the kids' wishes come true, there are some important questions to ask yourself to be sure you know what you are getting in to.

What breed of dog best suits your circumstances and different breed of dog have different needs of their own.

You have to strike that balance. For example if you live in a small apartment going out to buy a Saint Bernard puppy probably isn't the smartest move. Instead, say a Jack Russel would be more suitable.

That cute new puppy will need lots of looking after and training. Who will do that? Do you have the time, are you able to take time from work, can your partner and/or kids put the time in.

Tough questions to ask yourself but ask you must and be honest with yourself. Do your circumstances really lend themselves to puppy ownership?

Other considerations to take in to account include grooming and feeding. Long haired breeds take more grooming. Big dogs eat more food. And more food means more expense. Think also of the cost of owning that puppy.

It's not just the cost of feeding either. Other ownership costs can add up. For example bedding, collar, lead, toys and similar.

Another consideration is insurance to cover vet bills. Different breeds of dogs tend to have health issues specific to their breed. Consider the risk here too. Do your research in to this so you are aware of the potential issues which may arise as puppy grows in to an adult dog.

And of course ask yourself, really ask yourself, if you have the commitment which dog ownership demands of you. Do you have the fortitude to take your dog out for a walk before bed time in any weather? Sun, rain or snow, your dog needs exercise.

I suggest taking advice from a local pet store and if possible a vet before you buy that puppy. Listen to what they have to say about what breed of puppy might best suit your circumstances and how best you might prepare your home first.

The pet store or vet may also be able to offer advice on local breeders from whom you might acquire your puppy. I suggest visiting the puppy a time or two at the breeder's premises and ideally seeing puppy with its mother. And before you buy, check any paperwork which may be required. A local kennel club is another source of advice.

Owning a puppy is a very rewarding experience, however please carefully take in to account the important considerations we have taken a quick look at here before you take the plunge.

How To Cultivate A Better Relationship With Your Dog

Your dog is your best friend. However we cannot be around them all the time. We have obligations such as a job. This may mean that your dog will be left alone in your apartment or house. Your dog will have to deal with this, but he or she will not like this. They will find different ways to deal with this lack of attention.

Lets face it your dog is going to miss you. They actually love you more than you can understand. They will have deal with separation anxiety. Because of this separation anxiety they might destroy stuff or howl when you are gone.

However this type of behavior is not acceptable. As the more intelligent creature you will need to train your best friend to deal with your separation with them. This will require some research and patience.

First it is important to understand what causes separation anxiety. They just want you to come home. Being left alone for the first time can be very stressful for them if they are used to human contact every minute of the day. This will be especially evident if your fury friend is from a kennel or shelter.

Being locked up is very stressful for any animal. When a dog is freed from such a horrible environment he will feel freedom never experienced before. He will see you as the reason for his freedom. This will create an instant bond with you, and losing contact with you will cause him to feel anxiety.

Dealing with your dogs separation anxiety might just involve doing some simple things. Consider leaving some of your older clothing in an area she or he can get to. Dogs have a great sense of smell and this might help them think of you and reduce their separation anxiety.

If you are planing a vacation where you cannot take your dog, consider asking a friend to look after your fury friend. This friend must know your dog and be willing to take proper care of him. This will help your dog to deal with the problem of separation from you. If your dog is already comfortable with this person this will make the transition time of being without you less problematic.

One thing to remember is punishment will not help your dogs anxiety separation. This can make the situation worse. You need to help your dog understand that you will be back. Leave your dog in a situation they are comfortable with.

Remember your dog is a lot smarter than you think. They require attention as they are your best friend.

Simple Things You Can Do To Improve Your Dogs Behavior

There are approximately 87.9 million pet dogs in the USA, according to some estimates. Many of these dog owners would like to improve their fury friends behavior.

There are some simple things you can do to improve your their behavior. Lets consider some common dog behavior problems many owners are confronted with and how to solve them.

One of the most common problems is excessive barking. To solve this problem it is important to understand why dogs bark.

There are a number of reasons: to initiate play, warn of danger, threaten intruders, discipline their your or because they are curious about something. All of these are normal reactions and to be expected. To train him to stop barking for the wrong reasons, you could praise him when stops barking and give him a treat. Keep repeating this process until he only barks when you tell him to "speak". Your dog will soon catch on that being quite gives him a treat.

Another problem is begging at the dinner table. To stop this behavior you have to discourage him from doing this. One way to do this is to put some of your food into his dog bowl. This will keep him away from the dinner table and help your dog to understand he should only be eating from his bowl.

Only give him scrapes that are healthy for him. Your fury friend must be conditioned to eat from his bowl and understand that this is the best place to find food.

Many dogs pull on their owners lease when going for a walk. It is important to take your dog for a walk at least once a day, but their constant pulling on the lease can be very annoying. They often pull in a certain direction because they see something that makes them curious, like another dog.

To help solve this problem be aware of other dogs and shorten up his lease when he becomes aware of other dogs. Some owners will always keep their dog on a short lease. I don't agree with this. Take your dog for a walk using a retractable lease. It is import to stop and let him smell things that interest him. It is very important that he knows he can do this, after all it is time out of the house.

Improving your dogs behavior takes patients. However it is worth it. But remember much of their behavior is normal and should not be discouraged. It is important that we understand why they are behaving in a certain way, after all we're suppose to be the more intelligent one.

Different Ways Dogs Communicate With Humans

Communication between your dog and yourself does not involve an actually language. After all your dog cannot express what they are thinking in words. However there are several means they use that can indicate what they are thinking. This involves using body language.

One way your fury friend uses body language to communicate with you is by the use their tail. The position of their tail and its motion can indicate a number of things. The position of their tail and its motion could indicate submissiveness, anticipation of being greeted by you or another human friend. The position of their tail and it motion could even indicate potential aggression.

Indication of submissiveness

A dog is normally a very submissive create. They seek attention and will indicate this with the position and motion of their tail. Tucking their tail between their legs is one such position. This could be a sign of fear. However when the tail is held low it could also be a sign of submissiveness and they are seeking attention. This attention could involve petting or being cuddled.

Anticipation of Being Greeted By You

Simple wagging of your dog's tail side to side could indicate anticipation of being greeted by you or a close friend. The fasted they wag their tail the more excited they are to see you. They might also bark at you to get your attention. They might be thinking they are not going to approach them and show the needed affection they desire.

Potential Aggression 

Wagging of the tail in a certain position could also indicate potential aggression. This aggression could be the product of fear or the need to protect you from potential danger. If the tail is held high and moving very quickly in a vibrating motion it could mean your dog is getting ready to fight. This could be brought on by another dog in the vicinity. This type of motion indicates an active treat.

Your dog is an intelligent creature and you can learn how to communicate with him or her if you learn what they are trying to say with their body language. This will take some patience and will also involve doing some research. There are many excellent resources on the internet which will give you the needed insight on how to understand your fury friends methods of communication.

3 Simple Dog Care Tips From The Pros

Having a pet dog is no easy responsibility. Every dog parent should always be on top of their pet's physical and emotional well-being. The goal is to have a healthy and happy pet which makes both your life and his life better. Taking care of a dog is a continuous learning process - you learn something new from time to time.

While each dog owner has their own approach on how they prefer to raise their pets, here are some easy dog care tips from the pros you can consider:

Have your dog checked by the vet regularly

Like us, as dogs grow older, they become more prone to health issues. It could be as simple as a toothache or as serious as a heart problem. The symptoms doesn't always show or it's too late when they do - that's why it's important to bring your pet to the vet regularly to have a general check up.

Annual check ups should also cover dental care, health screenings, vaccinations, parasite control as well as recommended vaccinations. According to the Academy of Veterinary Nutrition Technicians president Dr. Kara M. Burns, regular exams are the single most important way to keep pets healthy.

Prevent your dog from getting parasites

The most common parasite that can affect your canine's health are fleas. When they're exposed to other dogs who has them, your pet can easily be plagued by the external parasite. Fleas can cause skin irritation, infection, hair loss, hot spots and more.

If your pet swallows a flea, other parasites can easily be introduced to his body like a tapeworm. To help prevent both external and internal parasites, make sure that your dog and the environment he moves in are clean. Year-round prevention is ideal by getting regular flea and internal parasite control.

Keep your dog mentally and physically healthy

According to Ohio State University Veterinary Medical Center professor and veterinary nutritionist Dr. Tony Buffington, an enriched environment is key to the long-term health and welfare of both canines and felines. A daily walk or run or a regular game of fetch will keep your pet physically active and healthy.

Mental stimulation is just as important, so try a game of hide and seek, a toy or a treat hunt and other similar games at home.
