Dog Training

Cats are more independent than dogs and thus usually harder to train to do tricks. However with a little effort many cats will learn to do tricks. Whether cats or dogs learn more tricks is usually more an issue of the patience of the human trainer, not the animal.

Yes, some dogs bark when they want attention, or when they are anxious.

All likelihood is it is nothing, usually with heart problems there is also other things associated with a problem. Do you have any diziness, shortness of breath, temporary loss of sight, or vomiting? Really, it's probably nothing if there are no other symptoms. Probably worst case scenario is it is just a heart murmur. If it is noticably skipping beats you should consult your physician.

Puppies can start on soaked dry puppy food at around 3 weeks of age. Just soak the puppy food in some warm water and let soften to just a mush. Then you can add a little Esbilac, warm water or canned milk (never use cow's milk). diluted one part canned milk to one part water. At around 4 weeks you can soak the puppy food with just warm water and then eventually they can eat the dry puppy food just dry & crunchy. Always use a good name brand dry puppy food, not some cheap store brand.

I love small dogs And very big dogs. Big dogs are usually wimpy and small dogs think they are waaay bigger than they really are. Just keep at it. The small one may think he's protecting you. Keep telling him "no" whenever he does it. If the dogs are social enough that they don't fight over food, try having the small one in you lap (with a good grip on him) and the others can gather around for some tiny bits of treats. Or make them all sit in front of you and do "paw" for a treat. Good behavior gets the treat, bad behavior gets bypassed. Whatever you try, keep it up long enough for the dog to "get it" Ten minutes at a time should do it. You can usually win through food. But remember to keep the treats miniscule or you'll wind up with a pack of fat dogs. Good luck.

I ever heard it will, and I believe it because in general if a dog bites it means it has not been well educated, it is very hard to change it once adult.

People today, often train hunting dogs for FUN and hunt for FUN! Sadly they do not need the food but do so for TROPHIES hanging on their walls. But don't blame the dog, he is just being loyal to what his owner has trained him. :(

Feed the puppy in her crate. Many times during the day, put the puppy in her crate with a food-filled toy. Let her out of the crate fairly soon when she's quiet and calm. Keep the crate near you at first so she doesn't think she's been abandoned. Put the crate beside your bed at night. Gradually over a couple of weeks, move the crate out of your bedroom and into the room where you want her to sleep.

As many as they want. But usually only 8 of them will be working and the rest can do whatever.

You might be able to train an aggressive dog to not bite, but this will take a skilled dog trainer and a lot of time. In public, you can keep the dog muzzled with a basket muzzle, although people around you are likely to yell at you for bringing a dangerous dog out in public.

Honestly, if a dog has gotten into the habit of biting and nipping people, the safest thing you can do is have the dog put to sleep. If you keep the dog and someone gets seriously hurt (or killed), you are liable and the dog will be euthanized then by court order.

WARINIG; Do NOT cut yourself were you gave yourself a love bite, Until you cannot see the bite no more. If you do you will have a huge ammount of blood come out at once.

All the blood sucks to your skin and stays there so if you cut yourself your blood comes out pouringley..(:

Go to the doctor! It's most likely infected.

It is a semi-polite or mock-deferential way of saying "I disagree with you"

There are many dogs that develop guard dogs habits out of pure instinct. My Rottweiler, for example, barks whenever she hears a noise that does not sound normal to her in the house. There is no way that we could have taught her that. On the other hand our lab barely barks when someone rings the doorbell or knocks at the door. It is more of a breed thing, and which dogs are naturally protective and which dogs aren't.

Yes, pineapple is supposed to make their poop taste bad.

No it's not true. However, putting its nose close to it and saying no and giving it a tap on the but does help!

it may have an anal problem check his bum and worm him. if it persists get the vets opinoin

Not Necessarily

Although there are historical accounts of dog fights going back to the 1750s, widespread activity emerged after the Civil War, with professional pits proliferating in the 1860s, mainly in the Northeast.

Ironically, it was a common form of entertainment for police officers and firemen-the "Police Gazette" served as a major source of information on dog fighting for many years. Although many laws were passed outlawing the activity, dog fighting continued to expand throughout the twentieth century.

Many of the dogs were brought over from England and Ireland, where dog fighting had begun to flourish after bull-baiting and bear-baiting became illegal in the 1830s.

Henry Bergh, founder of the ASPCA, was particularly repulsed by the brutality of the dog fighting he saw in New York and elsewhere. His 1867 revision of the state's animal cruelty law made all forms of animal fighting illegal for the first time, including bull, bear, dog and cockfighting. The involvement of regular police in dog fighting activities was one of the reasons Bergh sought and received authority for the ASPCA Humane Law Enforcement Agents to have arresting powers in New York.

Most law enforcement experts divide dogfight activity into three categories: street fighting, hobbyist fighting and professional activity:

"Street" fighters engage in dog fights that are informal, street corner, back alley and playground activities. Stripped of the rules and formality of the traditional pit fight, these are spontaneous events triggered by insults, turf invasions or the simple taunt, "My dog can kill yours." Many of these participants lack even a semblance of respect for the animals they fight, forcing them to train while wearing heavy chains to build stamina, and picking street fights in which they could get seriously hurt. Many of the dogs are bred to be a threat not only to other dogs, but to people as well-with tragic consequences.

"Street" fights are often associated with gang activities. The fights may be conducted with money, drugs or bragging rights as the primary payoff. There is often no attempt to care for animals injured in the fight and police or animal control officers frequently encounter dead or dying animals in the aftermath of such fights. This activity is very difficult to respond to unless it is reported immediately. "Professional" fighters and "hobbyists" decry the techniques and results of these newcomers to the blood "sport."

"Hobbyist" fighters are more organized, with one or more dogs participating in several organized fights a year as a sideline for both "entertainment" and to attempt to supplement income. They pay more attention to care and breeding of their dogs and are more likely to travel across state lines for events.

"Professional" dog fighters often have large numbers of animals (often 50 or more) and earn money from breeding, selling and fighting dogs at a central location and on the road. They often pay particular attention to promoting established winning bloodlines and to long-term conditioning of animals. They regularly dispose of animals that are not successful fighters or breeders using a variety of methods, including shooting and blunt force trauma. Unlike "professional" dog fighters of the past, both "professionals" and "hobbyists" of today may dispose of dogs that are too human-aggressive for the pit by selling them to "street" fighters or others who are simply looking for an aggressive dog-thus contributing to the dog bite problem.

As with any other illegal underground activity, it is impossible to determine how many people may be involved in dog fighting. Estimates based on fight reports in underground dog fighting publications, and on animals entering shelters bearing evidence of fighting, suggest that the number of people involved in dog fighting in the U.S. is in the tens of thousands.

Dogs that bark at big animals are probably scared of them so training it out of them is all about building their confidence. Positive reinforcement is probably the best course of action. For this a clicker and treats or a toy are needed depending on what the dog prefers.

To set the dog for success make it easy for them at first. Keep the horse at a distance so the dog doesn't feel the need to react and defend itself. Praise and reward them (by using the clicker and giving them a treat or playing with the toy) if they stay calm and focus on you rather than the horse. As the dog gains confidence you can move gradually closer. If you move too fast and the dog reacts go back to training further from the horse.

It may take a lot of patience but eventually the dog will see horses as no big deal and won't react by barking anymore.
