How do you write an essay about barking dog seldom bite?
This is not necessarily true.
A dog bites depending on the individual case; i.e., if the dog is aggressive, has behavioral issues, is being provoked, is acting in a protective/territorial manner, etc
Do NOT provoke or initiate aggressive behavior with a dog. Dogs are potentially dangerous animals that can kill you, and many will attack if they feel they are in danger. Also to consider, you never know what kind of diseases a dog may be carrying.
If you are bitten by a dog, see a medical professional immediately.
Crate training is very important. It not only aids tremendously in housetraining but it also provides a safe place for your dog or puppy. Try giving your dog a very special treat, one that they only receive while in their crate. For example, a Kong filled with peanut butter or cottage cheese and rice.
well i always learned to make the crate a positive thing one example would be he gets fed in his crate.
i found this article that helped me.

Why cant you hear a dog whistle?
Dogs have a broader frequency range than humans. The dog whistle is a very high frequency. Women can hear higher frequencies than men. Some women can hear dog whistles. Men generally cannot hear dog whistles.
Why does a fixed female dog hump humans?
What i have heard is that they're not doing it for sexual reasons, but doing it to show dominance. You must teach your dog that he is at the bottom of the pack and not the top. A tip i've read in training books is to pretend to eat their food.
The dog hears the sound but we don't.
The human ear can only detect sounds of a frequency between 20 cycle/second and 20,000 cycles/second at the very best. Dogs can hear sounds with a greater frequency. A typical a dog whistle is within the range of 16000 cycles/second to 22000 cycles/second. To put it more technically, a dog's inner ear vibrates or resonates to the high frequency sound waves of a dog whistle but our ears do not.
Its the same with bats, they are constantly sending out high frequency sounds, to locate flying insects but our inner ears don't resonate at those high frequencies and so we don't hear the constant "chirping" sound that they are making.

If you stop her from scratching, how will you know when she wants to come in?
^^^^^^^^^^^
I'm sorry, but the vibe I get from the person who wrote this response is that they would apparently like their house to be ruined by repetitive scratching?
I have experienced my puppy scratching on the door as well, and even our sliding screen door.
One of the things I have read said to ignore the scratching. When you open a door for a dog that is jumping or scratching, you are teaching them that those behaviors open the door!
My dog hates the sound of coins being shaken around in an empty soda can. I have been teaching her that scratching or jumping on the door results in the obnoxious noise that she hates, and it has been working pretty well so far.
Why would your dog hike its leg up and pee on you?
Probobly because it was excited to see you or frightened by something . My dog pees on me when she's trying to tell me something. It's up to me to figure out what she's saying and that can take a little time.
How can you get your Yorkie to quit barking so much at the neighbors?
when ever they start to bark, hold their favorite treat in front of their nose until they stop, then don't give it to them, and when they stop barking, give it to them. or as soon as they start to bark, put a leash on them, when they bark, pul quickley to the side then put the leash back where it was, but be sure not to pull your dog. it should be in the same spot when you end the correction. it is also a good idea to put them in a sit or down and stay. this tecnique OS very usefull at meal time, t.v. time, or whenever guests arrive. you can also use it to stop your dog from jumping. don't yell at them if they get out of they're sit, down, or stay before you release them... just camly put them back in position and firmly but withought yelling or anger say stay again.
How do you get the dog to release the toy in a fetch game?
To get your dog to release a toy in a game of fetch there are two ways. One, you can teach your dog how to "drop it" on command. Two, you could squeeze your dogs cheeks in between their teeth at the back of their mouth, and their grip on the toy with lessen and you will be able to remove the toy. This does not hurt the dog.
How many months does it take for a dog to be house trained?
Yes it is possible it also has to do what type of dog it is. Like if it is a "smart"dog then yes it is possible. A had two puppies and now they are like 4 years old they are both were house trained when they were 9 months.
Also just be nice and polite to the dog but stay on top of them if they do not do what you want the dog to do.
How can you get your next door neighters dog to quit barking?
One of the best things to do in order to avoid disturbing the neighbors because of the bad behavior of a dog. Is to know that dogs are pets and in order to get rid of bad behavior, they must train him to get rid of negative behavior and disturb the neighbors
Honestly, it's not the most simple dog to take care of it, but all dogs take work. I feed my Shih-Tzus once a day, always have water, and just simply let them out to use the batheroom. Make sure you brush their coat about once a day, depending how long the fur is. But, you have to get them a haircut about 2-3 months, depending on how long you want it and how much you take care of it. They are a very good natured breed, and good for families with young children, eldery, and everyone inbetween. I would recommend this breed to anyone. I love my Shih-Tzus! <3
Why do dogs bark when you leave the house?
How do you know their crying rather then inviting all their friends and throwing a random party if your gone? XD. Dog's cry when you leave because they are pack animals, which means they follow the alpha ((you)).
Wolves and dog's are much more alike then we think when it comes to actions. In wolf packs, it is not normal for the alpha to leave the pack behind, so when your dog sees you leave, he/she may think you are abandoning them.
There are a few other theries of why dog's cry, but I don't have much time to post more then this one.
How can you find your dog's breed?
If your dog is not a purebred and you do not have papers for the dog there are places which are doing DNA testing for dogs now. This can tell you what breeds of dogs are in your dogs genetic make up.

How effective are bark collars?
Bark control collars should only be used as a last resort, second to surgically de-barking the dog, which in my opinion is cruel and unfair to the dog. It should be used when your dog will not stop barking no matter what attempts you have made.
It is crucial that before resorting to this, or as you are actually using this collar, that you are making every attempt to keep your dog amused. Most dogs bark out of boredom when they bark for long periods of time. If you are leaving your dog outside alone all day, with no toys or companions, this is most likely the reason for it barking! Buy it some toys, such as a kong toy or give it an empty ice cream container without the lid, and slide it along the ground. Yes, it will be very noisy when your dog plays with it, but this is better than it barking! Or you could just get a dog-safe stuffed or squeaky toy if you have the money! And remember to keep your dog fed, watered, and with access to shelter and warmth or freedom from draughts!
Remember: bark control collars are very uncomfortable for the dog, whether they release a bad citronella smell or whether they shock. If you care for your dog at all, you will make every attempt to fix the problem with minimal collar use!
Why do dogs bark at the mailman?
Dogs may bark at mailmen, because the think strangers are approaching their Territory, they are trying to protect you, its a old dog thing, don't worry.
Its quite natural for them to bark at the front door, if someone rings the bell or knocks on the door, so that's it really.

Which are the tricks that you can teach your dog?
Dogs can do many tricks. First you need to look at your dogs height and weight. If your dog is large he/ she can do many tricks such as:
sit
shake
down
rollover
kiss
hide
bed time
agility
beg
dance
swim ( not really a trick but a fun activity )
These are the most common tricks for large dogs but do not be mad at your dog if they can not accomplish these tricks. It took my dog 7 years to learn these. First we had to work through her fear for people ( she was abused ) small dogs can often jump through hoops which is a very fun thing to do they can learn to jump up on your back and to eat daintly. If you google these you can learn how to d them easily with step by step directions. If you have a medium dog they cam most likely do all of these tricks. Good luck and have much patience. Your dog can learn these tricks and so much more.
I made my dog,Mikey shake his hips like shikara
Why does your dog pee and poo in the house?
Well, there are a few answers to that.
Your Yorkie pees on everything in your house because...
1. It is marking its territorry.
2. You don't take it out to pee.
3. A Yorkie is a dog and that's what dogs do.
If this doesn't answer your question then good luck.
How do you stop biting your fingernails?
You can buy a solution from most chemists and stores around the globe that you put on your nails (it is clear) and it tastes absolutely disgusting so you try not to bite them.
Most people find it effective but not everybody.
Good Luck!
AnswerThere are also ways to stop biting your fingernails that you can find around the house. For example: If you are a girl, then you can paint your fingernails.You would not want to mess up your decorated nails. Another option is basically what the answer above says. You can put something on your nails that tastes really gross, like pure vanilla extract. It smells wonderful, but tastes horrible.
