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.

Are dogs afraid of mice?

Naturally animals do not have magnets in them - although they may have an affinity to magnetism.

The only animal I know of - and there may be more - that have a magnet in them is cows. Called - not surprisingly - a cow magnet.

It is placed in their stomach, to attach any metal object they might ingest - they are not the brightest of creatures - to prevent "hardware disease" in cattle.

It prevents, ingested "iron" material from passing into their rectum, where deposits will cause painful and of course, high vets bills.

How old should a dog be to eat dog food?

Well, they all have to eat so right away!

But seriously, start as a puppy with puppy chow. At about maybe 1-2 years then move on to regular dog chow and at age 7 dogs are considered senior citizens so give them senior dog chow. I would reccomend consulting with your veterinarian about a specific care plan for your dog's personal needs.

Can adult dogs eat puppy food?

If the dog is a smaller breed, like a chihuahua, you should feed it puppy food until it is about 8 or 9 months old, but if it is a larger breed, like a whippet, you should feed it puppy food until it is about 1 year and a half old. When you do make the switch between puppy food and adult food, you should mix half the amount of puppy food you normally feed it with half the amount of adult food you are going to feed it together, then put in a bit of chicken or rice to make it easier for your dogs system to get used to. If you do not introduce the switch in a subtle way (by adding chicken or rice) your dog's stomach will not get used to it and will simply give it back. (which could be a bit messy!!) Hope this helped ! :-)

Should you breed a 2 pound female dog with a 6 pound male dog?

You could try, but it would be difficult and very dangerous for the female. I'm not entirely sure the male would be able to copulate, actually, as the female is so much smaller than the male - it might take artificial insemination to breed the female.

Also, you run a very large risk of maternal-fetal mismatch, in which the puppies are too big to be delivered through the birth canal. If a puppy gets stuck during delivery, both the mom as well as all unborn puppies can die.

Why do dogs curl up there front paws?

This is most often a sign that the dog is watching, waiting. He is feeling playful and wants to run and chase. You need to try to see if the dog's tail is wagging while he is doing this. Usually he is wagging it slowly up in the air behind him, waiting for a chance to start playing, and running around. I think most of the time is a good sign and indicates he wants to play. Enjoy.

Can dogs sense storms?

not in the literal sense. dogs most certainly pick up clues through their senses, whether it is sight (your hesitation), sound (they can hear a hearbeat from five feet away), or smell (your sweat-humans give off a stress hormone) allowing them to perceive your fear. http://zebra.sc.edu/smell/ann/myth5.html yes dogs can smell fear and that is why if you are scared by a dog the dog will run after you. This is because they sense your fear and think that they need to run as well whether it be that it thinks you are the thing to be afraid of or it will search for something to be afraid of and sometimes can't defrentiate between you and what to be afraid of. Also say there was an intruder in your home the dog will not only sense the intruder but they also sense that you know it's an intruder so they will know what to do. I hope that answers your question. diffently!my friend has a dog(small dog) that bite me and now im so scared of it!so every time i come near it it bites me!

Are you supposed to smile at a dog?

Ask an expert on dog behavior why dogs smile, and you may get a somewhat complicated answer involving submissive behavior, automatic responses, etc. They often ruefully conclude, "But dogs don't really smile, at least, not for the same reasons we do."

Ask the average dog owner the same question, and he'll respond indignantly: "Of course he smiles! Just look at that face; he's smiling right now - you can't say that's not a smile!"

Yeah that's true actually. Great answer!

What happens when you sniff a dogs butt?

When you sniff a dog's butt, you are essentially getting to know the dog's unique scent as a form of social interaction. Dogs have scent glands near their anus that release pheromones, allowing them to communicate with each other in a way that is different from humans. However, it is important to note that this behavior may not be appropriate in all situations and should be avoided if the dog is not familiar or comfortable with you.

Are dogs kept in cages?

No, dogs should never be 'kept' in cages. They should be able to walk freely.

That should not be confused with a dog 'crate', which is in the form of a cage, but not for the same function as a rodent cage for example where the animal lives inside it. A dog crate replicates a dog's 'den' and gives it a secure, familiar place to go inside if needed. There are ways of training the dog using the crate, and it can be used to transport the dog on a short trip. However the dog is not 'kept' in the crate, long term.
