Dog Behavior
Dogs are unable to talk just like we do, but we can still understand their feelings by observing their behavior and body language. It is compulsory that an owner is aware of his dog's body language, as it will not only strengthen their bond, but will also prevent tragic results where the owner is forced to abandon his dog due to behavior problems. In this category, there are questions relating to the different body languages of dogs, their behavior, etc.

Why do dogs pant and birds open their mouth and elephants flap their ears?
- 1 answer
The reason why dogs and birds pant through their mouths and elephants flap their large ears, is to control (reduce) their temperature.
Some animals can sweat through their skins and cool themselves as this sweat evaporates from their skin.
However, dogs, birds and elephants (and perhaps some other animals) can not sweat so they either evaporate water in their mouths or pump blood into their 'radiator' sized ears to cool themselves.
Can spayed female dogs still have a period?
- 1 answer
no. Dogs don't have a period they have a cycle If your female dog has had an operation for desexing purposes she does not have a cycle at all . when you have your female dog desexed your vet will make sure that all her reproductive system can no longer function to have a cycle, if your female dog is having a cycle and you have had the operation done by a vet then I would take her back to the vet because Spaying, or desexing, is the term applied to the operation in which the ovaries and uterus are removed from the female dog . The object of spaying is to stop the bitch from coming on heat and reproducing, so if she is still having a cycle then shes not desexed most dogs will have a little scare on their belly from the operation I hope this answer your Question.

What does it mean when your dog nudges another animal with his snout?
- 1 answer
A dog may nudge another animal with it's 'snout' because it may want it's attention for any ceritain reason. I'm not entirely sure, in some cases they nip, or lick. My dog nudges my cat purely because it wants the cat to knowledge it's existance. The cat completely ignores him, which then causes him to bark.
---
It is part of their conversation. My German Shorthair, Allie, nudges me when she wants to say something. She has certain sounds and whines for certain things. Whether she says her water dish is empty (she takes me to the kitchen sink and whines) or it is 6pm and time for her supper (takes me to her tupperware container with her food, across the kitchen from her dish) or goes to the turntable cupboard, waits for you to open it, and SHE takes out her quart jar with snacks.
She converses. Does she want to go out? Opens the door to let herself back in. Also, whines at 9pm, time to go to bed. She loves being at my computer area, lays at my feet.
Lately my dog will act confused and hide under the bed after being outside He has his own bed that he normally sleeps in Do you think he might have eaten a frog?
- 1 answer
It's hard to judge why your dog is confused. He may have eaten something weird, but you wouldn't know from that one symptom. If he has diarrhea (if his poop isn't solid), then it might mean he's eaten something bad but it usually doesn't result in confusion, so I doubt he ate a frog. If his sleeping, eating, and living habits change, then you should seriously consider the problem...
Your dog may be confused from a fear of something, which I think is most likely. I suggest you take a few hours to spend some time quietly with your dog in the backyard, with little interaction. Soon your dog will wander off on his own, and then you might find out the problem! :)
Another possibility is that your dog might be sick. If you have evidence leading to your dog eating a frog or something else, then maybe he caught a virus from that.
I'm pretty sure that your dog isn't seriously in danger, but remember that you should always have your vet's phone number on hand!

What if a puppy only opens one eye?
- 1 answer
Most puppies have slightly different open times for each eye, generally separated by less than 2 hours. However, it is possible for a puppy to have one eye open on one day (say, a Monday) and the other eye not open until the next day (in this example, Tuesday). However, if one eye remains closed after the other has opened over 24 hours prior, you should take your puppy to a veterinarian for examination.
Sometimes puppies can be born with congenital structure issues in one eye that prevents the eye from opening naturally. Puppies are also quite susceptible to orbital bacterial infections, which can also cause an eye to not open as normal.
Can adult dogs eat puppy food?
- 1 answer
No, puppy food is for growing pups, it helps the pup develop a healthy brain and strong bones. Full grown dogs should be eating food for DOGS. puppy food is not enough to fill a Full grown dogs stumach.
Puppy food is good for and should be given to pregnant dogs for about a month before she has the puppies, and it's good to continue with puppy food for a while after she has them. By feeding your adult dog puppy food, she will be able to consume the necessary nutrients to provide for her rapidly growing brood. You can gradually switch her back to her adult food after the pups are 4-5 weeks old.
Can wolves be trained to be loving house dog pets?
- 1 answer
NO. Wolf cubs taken from wolf dens even as young as five days old will be quite fine until they're 8 weeks old, and then rapidly become quite wolf-like, independent, and difficult. Since they are among the strongest of the canines, like any other large breed of dog in terms of strength, speed, and power of biting jaws, with their uncooperative attitude, they can be extremely dangerous. It takes a minimum of eight generations of very careful selective breeding to create a domesticated animal from a wolf. Nova, 2010. However, since wolves prefer to avoid rather than cause trouble with humans, even owner-humans, they are not the most likely to bite -- being behind about five other dog breeds in likelihood of actual attack. But if they do, look out!
Another Answer
No. Not because they are "vicious" or "dangerous" either. That is a myth. Wolves do not make good pets because they are timid and afraid of humans by nature. They are very smart, but hard to train and are stubborn and ignore commands anyway. They require intense amounts of socialization. The biggest reason why people do not own wolves is because they need a 1600 sq ft enclosure with at least 8 foot high fencing. Wolves cannot be in the house - they are extremely destructive and cannot be trained or disciplined other wise. So unless you don't mind losing all, and I mean ALL, of your furniture, torn up carpets, chewed up walls, and broken doors then I would not get a wolf.
Not to mention that it is illegal in the USA to have a pure wolf without being a sanctioned USDA approved facility. Also, there are no breeders in the USA who sell or breed REAL pure wolves. There is a big controversy over "wolf" and wolfdog breeders. Most "wolf" and wolfdog breeders that advertise wolves are actually selling (sometimes poorly bred) wolfy-looking dogs such as Huskies or German Shepherds or high percentage wolfdogs.
Another Answer
I wouldn't recommend a wolf. My cousin has two VERY destructive Huskies, which have gotten out the house several times, ignored orders, and bite. These are very closely related to wolves, which proves that wolves are even MORE difficult to train. But if you decide to get a wolf, (Good luck) I'd imagine that they'd probably get out of the house, harass other dogs, which may lead to possibly killing any cat, rabbit, and small dog in sight. You might want to consider a wolfdog hybrid. They are legal. However, it takes a lot of know-how to be able to fully own and train a wolfdog.
Edit: There are exceptions. As a 30+ year trainer of War Dogs (in combat), K9s, and Protection Dogs (and having the required permits to rehab or own) I've had 3 wolves (brought to me by people that tried to gas the entire den). I've also spent a full cycle with them in the wild, solitary in the mountains and I love the big guys. They are NOT DOGS and not suitable as pets unless everyone they daily encounter has a similar training background and you have appropriate facilities. Definitely not family pets. They instinctively respond differently and have to be trained and handled differently. Staring into their eyes around an evening fire (these were wild wolves I'd gotten to know) and you'll immediately notice a completely differently level of intelligence. Not more or less than say an alpha German Shepherd, but different.
That said, my edit is to advise NEVER to acquire a wolf/dog hybrid. They may be pretty, but, by nature, confused between constantly competing wild animal with it's prey instincts and domesticated pet. People breeding them are are out to make a buck with little consideration of the consequences. By definition, they will never be clear headed or well bred but always "hard animals" to handle and dangerous to an average person. Even if you understand them to a large degree.
Even my own German Shepherd War Dog, trained to do irreparable damage when "sent" after an enemy loves kids and puts up with them pulling on his ears, tail, trying to ride him, etc., enjoys them all and is trained to protect them if they are threatened. He also dominates the wolf in residence that I'm rehabilitating (to be released back to the wild in Yellowstone). Though normally fine, if triggered for whatever reason, an adult male @ 285-300 lbs stands little chance and I've had it try me, for reasons unknown (incident resolved without injury to either). The point being, DO NOT acquire one.
