Dog Behavior

Simple answer but you won't like it:

Because they were given an opportunity to chase it, and they had fun chasing it. The same reason why they run away from you-- they think being chased is fun and game.

You need to TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN. First, provide an environment that they cannot fail in (always leash, enclose, etc). If you give them any opportunity to fail (chase animals, cars, people), they will try, and learn that it's fun.

Secondly, you need to do obedience training. The "come" command is the most important one. It takes a LOT of time and efforts, but it pays off.

The other thing is you can wait till they're older 7-10 years old. That's what a lot of people will tell you. Total BS. There is no substitute for 1) providing an environment in which they cannot fail and 2) training training training.

Pit Bulls are VERY strong dogs. Dont let your children take them on walks alone. But on the other hand Pit Bulls are like the MOST friendly dog EVER!! I have 4 of my own. They are also GREAT guard animals. Nobody will mess with you when a Pit Bull is around. When you hear things about that make you feel like they arent friendly don't give in. I HIGHLY recommend getting one.

I hope this helped!! :)

WATCH D.O.G.S. stands for Dads Of Great Students. It is a national program that encourages father figures to volunteer at schools and provide positive male role models for students.

I'm not aware of any organization that provides surrogate dogs. You would want to find someone near your location that has a bitch that is nursing. You might ask your veterinarian if they know of anyone or you could post a add in your local paper. Time would be critical and you might need to bottle feed in the mean time.

The impact of bringing a new dog into a home on the resident dog's happiness can vary. Some dogs may enjoy having a companion, while others may feel stressed or territorial. Proper introductions and monitoring of their interactions can help ensure a positive outcome for both dogs.

Dog poop can go in the trash bin, or you can flush it down the toilet if you use flushable dog waste bags. It's important to properly dispose of dog waste to prevent contamination of water sources and reduce the risk of spreading diseases. Some cities also have designated dog waste composting programs.

Why would you want them to? There are enough lab mixes in humane societies, we don't need to pollute the streets with more mixed breed mongrels whose parents were not breeding quality. Go to a shelter, most of the dogs there are lab crosses. We have enough of those already. That is why millions of dogs are put to sleep a year, because people think puppies are cute so they breed whatever dogs they can. Get your dogs fixed and breed some registered breeding quality dogs if you want to breed. That means good confirmation, sound personality, no quirks, diseases, or faults. America has enough backyard breeding of faulty dogs, and it is easy to give away pups when they are cute and little, but then they grow up and end up in the shelter.

Humping behavior in dogs is often a sign of dominance, excitement, or playfulness, rather than strictly sexual behavior. It can occur between animals of any gender as a way of establishing authority or hierarchy in their social interactions. It is not indicative of sexual orientation or preference.

When a dog wags their tail vigorously while lowering their upper body and barking loudly, it can indicate a high level of excitement or arousal. This behavior can be a signal of anticipation, playfulness, or sometimes even aggression, depending on the context and body language of the dog. It's important to assess the overall body language and situation to interpret the meaning accurately.

stage 1 labor is signified by restlessness, nesting and a drop in core body temperature (taken rectally) normal is 100-102 F stage 2 labor is contractions and CLEAR discharge, the contractions are visible when the animal lays down and you will see her pushing, there is little to no vocalization, a dog screaming out is not normal. If your dog is pushing for over 30 min without a puppy produced it is an emergency and you need to head to the vet, ER or your regular vet, call first. If your dog is having contractions over 2 hours and not pushing or seeming overly distressed you need to call your vet. If you have smelly discharge, dark green discharge and no puppy shortly before or after, you need to call also, if you have a temperature over 103F you need to go in your dog may have an infection or be working too hard and may be putting the puppies at risk. You may ask others and they may tell you it is safe to wait longer than 2o min while pushing, the reason this is not recommended is that dogs can get a condition called uterine inertia this basically means that after the uterus has worked on contracting so hard, it can no longer do so effectively, if you wait longer you risk this condition meaning your vet will not be able to help your pet with an injection that may increase the intensity of the contractions and may be forced to do a c-section which is much more expensive and can carry risks for the mother and puppies. Hope this helps, good luck!

we have a 7-month-old and she is 5 pounds and only 3.5 when we got her at 4 months. The vet said she wouldn't get much bigger. we have a 7-month-old and she is 5 pounds and only 3.5 when we got her at 4 months. The vet said she wouldn't get much bigger.

Dogs don't "smell" fear they sense it. They can sense it in humans better then in any other animal because they have the best sense of human emotion, feelings, and other things out of all animals including other humans sensing it in other animals comes from their hunting ancestors, wolves.

Keep in mind that some dogs are smarter than humans! And dogs are not dumb! Get it straight! OK?

But some dogs can be dumb defends how their trainer was to them and if they listened.

the most dumbest dog in existence is the shar-pei i would know

Pit bulls may hang from ropes as a form of exercise or play behavior. It can also satisfy their natural instinct to grab, pull and tug on objects. However, it's important to ensure that the activity is safe and monitored to prevent any harm to the dog.

The extra pocket on a dog's ear is called the ear canal or ear flap. It helps amplify sound, protect the ear canal, and regulate temperature. It is a normal and functional part of a dog's anatomy.

Puppies typically urinate about every 1-2 hours, depending on their age and size. However, they may need to go more frequently after eating, drinking, or playing. It's important to take puppies outside frequently to allow them to relieve themselves and avoid accidents indoors.

According to Antônio Carlos Gil ("Como elaborar projetos de pesquisa", 4th edition, Ed. Atlas, 2009, p.42):

"A research is said to be explicative when its central point is to identify the factors that determine or contribute for a given phenomenon to happen. This is the sort of research that deepens the knowledge about reality, for it aims to explain the reason why of things."

It is not recommended to lock your puppy in a cage at night as it can cause anxiety and stress. Instead, provide a comfortable sleeping area where your puppy feels secure and can move freely. Properly crate training your puppy can help create a positive association with their crate.

Small puppies cannot poop randomly. They must be stimulated in order to poop. At first they are stimulated by their mother licking their abdomens and genitalia. As they get older they are stimulated by waking, exercising, eating, and drinking. Until a pup is three months old they don't have control of the sphincters that release feces, so housetraining focuses on maintaining a schedule based on what stimulates them. From three months to six months of age the pup gradually develops more and more control of his own body functions. By six months he has the physical ability to control when feces are released. If he has been raised properly he will know by then were the preferred place to toilet is, will prefer keeping his den (the home) clean, and will attempt to "hold it" until given the opportunity to go outside to toilet.

Lock jaw, also known as tetanus, is a condition characterized by severe muscle stiffness and spasms, particularly in the jaw muscles. It is caused by a bacterial infection and can be potentially life-threatening if left untreated. Vaccination is available to prevent tetanus.

Dogs may whine due to separation anxiety, attention-seeking behavior, boredom, or simply to communicate a need or desire. It's important to rule out any underlying medical issues, establish a routine, provide mental and physical stimulation, and consider positive reinforcement training to address the whining behavior. Consulting with a veterinarian or a professional dog trainer may also be helpful in managing and modifying the behavior.

It is not normal for a dog to be still panting over 24 hours after birth. Something may be seriously wrong with her if she ate 11 puppies. Her temperature is actually quite normal, since 38.05 C is the same as 100.5 F, well within the range of normal for a dog. She could have a temperature of up to 102.5 F, or about 39.2 C, and still be normal. However, because she ate all the puppies and because she is still panting, she should be seen by a veterinarian immediately, to determine if she has a serious problem.
