Dog Behavior

a good house trained dog means it does not urinate in the house or do any buisness and does not chew furniture and doesnt steal food from table or doesnt sit by the table while you eat and beg for food

I believe it was the Denver ban. It was put in vigor 20 years ago.

You need to let him outside more often. Or, the crate space is too big, you need to divide it to make it just enough size for him to turn around and lie down. Dogs will not go where they sleep, but at some point, if not let out he will have to.

The older the dog is the more difficult it will be but it is not impossible. Take your dog outside and walk him. Be consistent with this and commit to the time required. They will eventually have to go and when they do lavish praise on them such as "good dog". If you do this consistently they will prefer going outside and the paper habit will be broken. Remember that all dog training is essentially behavior modification and you must train them into the preferred habit. I hope this helps.

The dog might not like the sound of the instrument witch isn't rare. Dogs and pups have really sensitive hearing. The trumpet to a human isn't as loud as what a dog hears. To a dog its almost like a yell to the ear.

If this isn't the case, your dog might just be trying to sing along! :)

um.... Find the owner and apologize. And next time you're driving be more careful.

Yes, you can spay a female to prevent heats entirely or acquire special drugs from your veterinarian to delay or induce heat cycles.

It could be scared. Try to cuddle it and see if that helps. It helps my dogs so it might help yours

Like us ,dogs do miss their brother and sisters, so i warn u if u get rid of a dog in a family then it will get really upset even though u don't see it happen.

when your dog eats a coin take a giant foam hand and dip it in honey, then stick it down its throat then take it out and dip it in balsamic vinegar and rub it on your dogs lew front paw three times while on a pogo stick crushing broken glass watching the Steve wilco show with Oprah

Never, but if they are past there prime they may act a bit wierd after.

yes they can however I would not suggest that you let your dog eat to many vegetables because they can cause stomach problems and if they don't get enough meat in their diet many other problems cuased form not enough protein in their diet generally buying your dog dog food is the best way to make sure that your dog gets enough vitmains and nutreints

It sure helps! Crate help with housetraining because puppies will instinctively not "go" in their crates, because it is their "den". Just make sure that is is big enough that he/she can stand up and turn around, but not so big that they can section it off into a "potty area" and a "sleeping area". Also, puppies in crates cannot chew things that they shouldn't or swallow dangerous or valuable items. Make sure you do not make them live in their crate all the time. As a general rule, puppies can stay in their crates for as many hours as months they are old, plus one. A 10 week old puppy is 2 1/2 months old, so s/he can stay in the crate for 3 1/2 hours without needing a potty break. When they reach 6 months old, they can hold it up to 8 hours. This is how long they CAN stay in their crates, if needed, that does not mean that they SHOULD. For house training, put puppy in the crate for as long as it has been determined they can stay in the crate. Take them out, let them potty, and play for 1/2 to 1 hour. put them in the crate for that amount of time twice a day at least, plus whenever you cannot supervise them. Then if they need to stay in the crate for longer periods of time, such as in your absence or while traveling, they will be used to it. It is not cruelty. Make sure that the crate is a pleasant place to be by always providing a toy in the crate that is not given at any other time.

it is normal for pups to eat theirs and others poo, when they do you should tell them of everytime they do and hopefully they'll grow out of it

Dogs are pack animals. In the wild they ran in packs and instinctively they protect their pack. Domestic dogs think of their owners as part of their pack.

The dogs get very attached to one person. That person is usually the person who spends the most time with them, which should be their owners. If the dog feels like something or someone is a threat to their owners, they will growl and a back off warning and if you don't they will snap or bite at them.

Your dog is most likely trying to protect you.

If your dog doesn't know that your are dominate. Then it will eat slower because it is't afraid of you taking the food. If your dog eats fast. It means that (s)he knows that you're dominate. Therefore (s)he thinks (s)he needs to eat fast. With my dog for example. I can put my face next to the food bowl and move his face out of the way with mine. So when my dog eats. He doesn't know if I'm going to deside and come and eat his food. He knows that if i want. I can and will eat it so he eats it as fast as he can because he isn't sure when he is going to eat again.

Also, you might want to try feeding your dog a little in the morning and a little at night, that way (s)he is getting feed through out the day. and (s)he will most likely eat slower.

I hope I've been able to help.

Also, your dog may eat fast, because of some wolfy instincts it probably still has in his or her brain. It may think that other wolves might come to steal his kibble, so it eats it fast to make sure that no other dog has his share.

There are two ways that poodles can vary: size and color.

Size:

Poodles come in three sizes: toy, miniature, and standard. Since these sizes are a result of selective breeding, multiple sizes can occur within the same litter of puppies, and intermediate sizes can also occur. Some unscrupulous breeders will charge extra high prices for very small poodles, called "teacup" poodles, or extra large "royal standard" poodles, but these are not recognized variations by reputable breeders. Every kennel club has its own set of standards for size, but all are approximately the same. Toy poodles are the smallest recognized poodle variety, at approximately 10 inches and under at the withers (shoulders). Poodles are considered to be miniature if they are between approximately 10 and 15 inches at the withers, and standard if over 15 inches at the withers.

Color:

Poodles have coats that continuously grow and do not shed. They come in many colors, including white, cream, apricot (think strawberry blonde), red, cafe au lait (light brown), chocolate (dark brown), silver-beige, silver, blue (very dark gray), black, parti color (bicolor spotted), phantom (markings like those on a doberman), mismark (more than two colors), and tuxedo (black, with a white bib and belly).

Of course, interbreeding can produce any mixture of colors or size, though they may not be recognized by most kennel clubs.

you didn't even answer the question schnazola.what if he wants to run away?like crminal masterminds robbing a bank, its quite possible.we kids think in a different way not that you know anything about this(pfft speaking with an adult?).ok so really want to run away huh?well you'll have to perpare yourself

first you'll need your parents,adults,supervisers out of the houselure them to take out the garbage,walk a pet(say bye bye to your pet :,l), or somethingyou'll then gather the following materials as fast as possible into your backpack or something(get as well as possible):1.valuables(you'll sell $ to buy nececitys)2.profile info(you won't need that until you turn 18, when you do the police search will be over and you're perfectly legal)(having trouble with this?skip it ,you can renew it or something by fingerprints and stuff when you turn 18)3.packable food(don't worry about other food, you can sell some stuff for more food later)4.bottles of water5.compass6.anything you think you'll need(cell phone,protection weapon)

ok now you're ready,go to a public library or something to access this page from now.GL =) (or you can print this page if you think you'll need it)

decide a destination at another state(preferrably far away)～it may take few months but you can do it=D

go to a different state orphanage to be taken care ofor continue alone if you think u can manage it until you're 18(prefferabaly orphanage)

Some told me dogs that have the boney bump at the back of the head is called an intelligence bump........is this correct and if so what exactly does that mean? I know what intelligence is........LOL! Are these dogs smarter than others? I just don't know.

Take your dog to the vet to ensure there are no internal or unseen injuries to your dog.

Then-- contact animal control and report a bite (if you got the name/address of the walker)

Thirdly-- contact the owner to pay most or all of the vet bills you incurred.

Your dog could have worms or there could be another reason. There is a sac just inside the dog's rectum and all dogs have this sac. Sometimes this sac swells up and the dog has to be taken to a vet to have the sac emptied. You might relate this to a person who has hemorides. They are known to itch, same thing is probably happening to your dog. Once this sac is squeezed, rarely will it have to be treated again and one more thing. If your dog's poo is soft that's no good. He or she has to have hard bowel movements to keep this sac drained naturally.
Because [s]he can. Seriously, they clean themselves that way (after pooping, esp if they're having diarrhea issues). Potential ailments that would cause excessive licking of that area: worms, anal gland blockage; hot spot/irritation/allergies.

An 8-month-old male puppy is the equivalent of a teenaged boy. He has recently become sexually mature, and his body is very sensitive to physical contact. When you stroke him, he feels pleasure, which can translate into sexual arousal. This is true whether he is intact or neutered. In addition, male dogs in general achieve erection very easily because of the structure of the canine penis.

Note: If your puppy is still intact, you may wish to consider having him neutered, unless he is a champion show dog and you want to breed him.

STRESS and anxiety. The dog's frightened. Same symptoms when the dog is suffering from a bout of separation anxiety - he would pant, salivate, whine, scratch frantically to get out if he is in a crate, chew and generally get into a real state.
