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.

What word means to tremble or shake?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I'm not sure what you're looking for here. It really depends on what kind of shaking or trembling you're talking about. Is the word "convulse" or "convulsing" or "convulsion" what you're looking for?

What happens if a dog gets injured during an Iditarod race?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Having run the Iditarod, I can tell you exactly what happens. Every single checkpoint that the race goes through has a team of vets available and ready to evaluate and treat injured dogs. The vets partners with the mushers to go over every team when they enter a checkpoint, evaluating individual dogs and answering any questions the musher may have. Likewise a musher can "drop" a tired or injured dog at any checkpoint, meaning they sign the dog over to the Iditarod vets and volunteers to care for and transport the dog back to Anchorage.

Dogs, especially any injured dogs, are top transport priorities, and bump everything else...including humans. The "Iditarod Air Force" a highly skilled team of the cream of the Alaskan bush pilots, will make priority transports of injured dogs from the checkpoints anywhere along the race back to Anchorage and advanced medical care if needed. Most dogs simply need rest, and are transported back to Anchorage and picked up by the musher's designated local contact person. If more treatment is required, the dogs are taken directly to advanced veterinary clinics to have that performed.

The health and safety of the dogs is the top priority for the mushers as well as the vets and trail volunteers. After all, the musher can't travel without them. I dropped 2 dogs in Ruby, a little over half-way through the race, because of sore shoulders -- it was in their best interest, even though they still wanted to go. By the time they got to Anchorage and my handler picked them up back there, they were bouncing around looking for the party...they're gotten enough rest to heal, which is the one thing I couldn't give them enough of on the trail. And I knew that they would be well taken care of once I dropped them and put them in the hands of the vets, pilots and volunteers.

How much revenue did Michael Vick's dog fighting operation produce?

Asked by Wiki User

According to CBS News, Michael Vick admitted that he financed the Bad News Kennels dogfighting operation and helped kill six to eight dogs. Vick also admitted that he provided money for bets on the fights, but stated that he never shared in any winnings. Exact revenues will most likely never be known, given that it was an illegal operation.

Have dogs died from chewing tennis balls?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They can be. Tennis balls have an almost abrasive material covering them, and over time, this can cause damage to your dogs' teeth. Also, if your dog is strong enough to tear a tennis ball apart, he/she could choke on the pieces or swallow them, causing gastrointestinal problems.

Suggestion: Switch to racquetballs or vet-approved toys, and always monitor your dog when playing.

Where do your football pads go?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Helmet on the head. Shoulder pads on your shoulders. These two are easily identified. Hip pads on the hips, you can tell the hip pads by their shape...if you hold them upside down, the flat part down, they usually have a circular portion on top. They will have snaps too, and these snaps attach to the belt. Butt pad goes over the tailbone. It has snaps and attaches to the belt also. Thigh pads go on the FRONT of the thigh. They look like a half pipe with three ribs pointing outward. You put them in pockets inside the pants. Knee pads go on the knees and are shaped like a "bra cup". They are put inside pockets in the pants as well. Mouth pieces are dipped in boiling water for 4-5 seconds until softened then bit down on. Try to create a suction witin the mouth and it will form to the teeth and bite best. Afterwards, dip into cold water to hold form. The long tab on the mouth piece is attached to the helmet's face mask. Don't cut it off unless the league your in allows it...most don't.

Do dogs eat puppies feces?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, dogs do indeed eat puppy feces. They eat small amounts when grooming or licking the anus to help stimulate defecation in puppies. They may eat larger amounts of feces to clean up after the puppies. That has a role in the wild of helping to hide from predators. The puppy waste may draw predators, and eating it gets rid of it.
