How can you stop your dog from chewing its skin raw?

Usually when a dog does that they have allergies or fleas. I remember every summer my cat would get a raw patch of skin because he sucked on it because it itched from allergies.

Answer

Get the dog an "elizabethan collar" and give it a bath in soap for fleas. Get spray for fleas from the vet that will kill the fleas during their gestation cycle in your house. If you vacuum, be sure to spray inside the bag before putting it into the outside garbage.

How do you train a bomb sniffing Dog?

All sniffer dogs have the same basic training, the only difference is you need to encourage your dog to concentrate on the object you require it to find.

A tracker dog is slightly different as all humans smell different. When tracking humans it is an advantage to have an article of clothing belonging to the person you are tracking, if you haven't that advantage and you arrive at the scene of a crime and need to pick up the scent of the quarry (remembering the flat foots (police) have been milling around covering up and scent that might have been there, so you have to go out of the trodden circle and find some scent of the quarries escape, this is now most difficult. Causality and Mountain Rescue training is much easier as all the dog has to do is find a human, any human. Not a particular individual.

How do you stop your two male dogs peeing in the house. They pee everywhere. One marks and the other just pees constantly. Tried punishing them. Doesn't work. Help?

Try making what is called a Shaker Bottle: Get a bottle and put at least a handful of coins or pebbles in it, and seal the cap with tape. When your dogs make any sign of marking or peeing in a place you don't want them to, shake the bottle. This should distract them from what they were doing as the bottle makes a loud noise that startles them. As they look at you for causing the noise, sternly command 'NO PEE'. But don't use this method to potty train them: That's a different story. Also, try not to punish your dogs physically, as this will make them insecure. Hope this helped.

How do i get my dog to stop barking at nothing. It doesn't have to be an object. we'll just take her outside and she'll start barking at air. What do i do?

sounds like a pretty stupid dog to me. but dont worry. my dog does that too. but here's something you could do: when ever she starts barking, grab her mussel and say "NO!!!!", then take her inside right away. keep doing this until she stops.... if its a small yappy dog, like a yorki, SELL HER. GET HER OUTA THE HOUSE. TO A BETTER HOME. THOSE DOGS SUCK. It may help to have a companion, as dogs are pack hunters. When left alone, dogs stress out, & bark out of frustration.

Your mom doesn't want to get a new dog how can you convince her to get you one?

Honestly, if someone doesn't want a dog, they shouldn't get one. It's hard to make that work. Dogs are a lot of responsibility and it's best if everyone in the family wants one. But if you are sure you can take care of one by yourself, without her assistance, show her you are responsible and prepared. Write her a paper about what type of dog you'd like and how it fits your lifestyle. Include the cost of vet, food and supplies. Tell how you would exercise the dog, and what you will do with it on vacations. She needs to see that you are serious.

Is jumping up and snapping a sign of aggression in a puppy?

== == * Yes. Even if you startled the dog most dogs will jump, but do not snap. Some puppies will mouth a person that may appear to be snapping. It's playing, but gently and firmly any puppy should be trained properly. There are good courses to go too to train you and your puppy or there are good CD's out by: Cesar Milan (Dog Whisperer) that is an excellent choice to train your puppy. A puppy is much like any baby of any species (including humans) and are not aware they are being rough so it's up to the owner of the puppy to say 'No!' Then push the puppy away. Some larger bred puppies are more aggressive in play and the owner has to teach them what is playing and what is aggression and when that aggression should be used (protecting you home or family.) If the puppy is still continuing this type of aggression (growling, then snapping) it's highly advisable you take your pup for a thorough check-up by your vet to be sure there are no problems making the pup feel this way (could be in pain.) If there is nothing physically wrong with your pup then you can use two methods to stop this behavior: A light pat on top of the nose with two fingers and the word "shame" or "stop" and when they do praise them or use a clean spray bottle with cold water and when they start to snap give them a sprinkling in the face with the water. It doesn't take long. Along with letting them know who the boss is in the house and lots of love your pup should do just fine.
