Dog Behavior

Obtain a cage with your new puppy

the cage will help make the puppy feel secure, will make a home there and will therefore not spoil.

Feed puppy and then put back in cage

after 30 mins take puppy out to back garden where it may spoil

as it spoils say the words 'busy busy'

return puppy to cage with treat.

repeat this every day (puppy can obviously come out of cage at other times but be careful not to overtire)

The puppy will adopt the habit that every time you take it to the garden and say 'busy busy' it will spoil and therefore never be undisciplined enough to spoil in the house or where it shouldn't.

Useful if taking dog on a train, bus etc as you can be confident it won't want to go if you have already 'walked' it in the garden.

Your dog is likely trying to establish a bond with the new kitten through physical contact and scent exchange. Nose nudging is a common greeting behavior among dogs, and it could be their way of showing curiosity or trying to communicate with the kitten in a non-threatening manner. It's important to supervise their interactions to ensure they are both comfortable and safe.

This may be a medical condition called priapism, which is when an erection persists for an abnormally long period of time. It can be caused by a variety of factors such as injury, medication side effects, or underlying health issues. It is recommended to seek immediate veterinary attention if this occurs, as priapism can be a serious issue that requires medical intervention.

It could be their way of letting the owner or friendly human know that it feels good that or they believe that they are scratching themselves and mimic the movement.

It depends on which species you're asking about,

and it depends on conditions.

For humans, for example, in a random situation the male is statistically more aggressive, but in defense of hearth and home, the female is likely to be more aggressive.

~My 2 cents--My dog does this to me when walking and at other times and I have seen dogs do this when they are in a larger group of dogs. I'm guessing it is just a way to stay close or designate the leader. Sometimes they do it for attention or when finding you (when you are in a different part of the house and they go looking for you). I take it as a compliment.This meanseither your dog cant see well or he is just trying to get you to move faster. If your cant see well that is common. Most dogs have blind spots where if you put an item (or a leg) it cant see it. so if your dog is bumping into your leg he cant see but if he is bumping then pulling ahead a little or if he looks up at you he wants to move faster.

No joke here. I have a male cat who's a little more than a year old. He hasn't been neutered. He often sleeps on his back, exposing his belly and genitalia. I happened to notice his penis sticking out, and then he twitched, ejaculated, and woke up. I couldn't turn the camera on fast enough to record it.

Our Miniature Schnauzer, female, developed SARD at four years of age. Following a trip to our vet, we we took Mika to an Animal Ophthalmology Surgeon in Williamson, MI. we learned the following. The doctor was wonderful and gave us many ideas on how to train Mika and ourselves for her life as a blind pet. Most helpful was a wonderful book we obtained at his office: ' Living With Blind Dogs', by Caroline D. Levin, RN. This is an insert from her very informative and valuable book: Following the sudden onset of blindness, the retinal cells will thin out until the greenish glow becomes visible. They go through two phases, resistance phase (adrenal overdrive) and adrenal exhaustion. Minimize or eliminate excessive vaccines and pesticide use. change their diet to homemade, grain-free meals and add the supplement phosphatidylserine. When in adrenal exhaustion, (the adrenal glands can no longer produce sufficient cortisol), hormone replacement therapy may be required. Signs/Symptoms: the onset of blindness, including hunger, thirst, incontinence, weight gain, insomnia, seizures, confusion, muscle weakness (rear leg weakness, incontinence, or cardiac problems), panting, pacing, calcium deposits, hearing loss and lethargy. This book gives a blind pet owner advice on training your pet and how to make the pets and the owners life as normal as possible with ingenious suggestions and ideas that have worked with other blind pets and their owners. We made use of the ideas for training and working with Mika and have been more than pleased with Mika's advancements. She has suffered most of the above described signs. such as; hunger, thirst, weight gain, seizures, confusion and rear leg weakness, also occassional panting. I hope this helps answer your question. If possible, I advise you to get a copy of Caroline D. Levin's book. Mika is now seven years old and most people would never guess that Mika is blind. She has them all fooled. She is happy, engergenic, and just a bit over weight!

If a dog is a puppy and has just been removed from it's Mom and siblings , it may be lonely as it is used to being around others.

No such thing - depends on how the dog is trained and socialized. Make sure you research a dog breed for traits but this will not guarantee a dog is not going to be "bad". No dog is born bad - sometimes it is from fear or from being abused that they turn bad. Make sure you take a dog to obedience so you have control over it's behaviour to keep it safe and it will be a dog you wish to have.

A dog's brain functions similarly to a human brain, with regions responsible for different activities like sensory perception, movement, learning, and memory. In a dog's brain, you would find structures such as the cerebral cortex, which processes information, the cerebellum, responsible for coordination and balance, and the hippocampus, involved in memory formation. Overall, a dog's brain enables them to perceive the world around them, learn from experiences, and interact with their environment.

Labrador Retreivers, and Otterhounds are pretty fast swimmers, Newfoundlands are great swimmers as well and are bred to save people from the water.

Agreed with above, however irrespective of normal swimming ability or speed, any dog swimming should be adequately equipped with a dog life jacket as water conditions can quickly become adverse even for the most experienced doggie swimmer and even water loving dog breeds, such as Labradors can become tired swimming and in need of support from a doggie flotation device.

It is not safe for a dog to eat sticks as they can cause choking, blockages, or internal injuries if swallowed. It's best to prevent your dog from eating sticks and provide them with safe and appropriate toys or treats to chew on instead.

The temperament of a red nose pit will vary from dog to dog. Much of the dog's temperament depends on how it is raised. A pit bull that is well socialized, and well trained will have a good temperament.

Small dogs tend to be better with little kids as they are closer in size and less likely to accidentally knock them over. However, a dog's temperament and training are more important factors than size when it comes to interacting with children.
