I have two dogs who keep fighting how do I stop them?
I'm not sure if this will be the best answer, but I . I volenteer for a dog trainer for some time now and I learn new things everyday. One was that you shoukd never come between two dogs that are fghting. What the trainer did was put a shock collar on one of the dogs, probably the one who starts it. Put it on LOW shock and if they start fighting, give a zap. I know that you might think that this is animal cruelty, but it doesnt hurt the dog at all. This gives him the reminder "Hey, dont do that, it doesnt solve things!" Soon it should show affects, and soon the dog will feel safe and comforted in the collar. This is true and I have tried it on one of my dogs. I hope it does the same for you! Hope it helped! Good luck!
How do you get a lost dog to its owner?
If you find the dog somewhere then you should put up posters saying; 'Found' then tell what kind of dog and then write your phone number. Then when the call up ask for a description of the dog to make sure that it is really theirs. Just a tip. Then give them a meeting spot not at your house but somewhere near so they can't rob you or something. Just to be safe. Or just go to the pound or AKC instead and give the dog to them. I hope this helps and answers your question though!!
Do boy dogs get along with girl dogs?
It depends on the dog's personality. Animals have the same emotions as humains, but different in small ways. So they can get together.
Is it better to go walking before you eat or after you eat?
For light exercise such as walking, it really shouldn't matter. Being completely starved when walking isn't much fun at all, but assuming you're well energized, walking before isn't going to create any problems. Unless you happen to consume a huge meal, it's unlikely you'll cramp doing something as light as walking, so walking after isn't a problem either. I'm sure some arguments about metabolism and weight loss will be made, but overall, it's just good to be somewhat active, whether or not it's the most perfectly optimum calorie burning activity.
What age should you start a dog walking business?
I would Recommend to start a dog walking business at the age 12 plus, if your able to walk dog's with parents or guardians approval.
How do you stop a small terrier from going down rabbit holes?
Plug up the rabbit holes with dirt. The rabbits will move on. This is a natural instinct for many terrier breeds because they are hunters of rodents, rabbits, etc. Sometimes you can use a "cone" that you would get for your pet from the vet so they can't bite stitches or lick surgical wounds and the next time you take your dog out put that cone on his/her head and take an empty wax paper tube with a medium sized chain attached inside (it will make a big noise when smacked on the ground) and when the dog tries to go down the rabbit hole (won't be able too if you have a large enough cone on his/her head) then smack the ground (NEVER the dog) with the empty wax paper tube and chain inside and sternly (don't yell) say "NO!" (always use one word or you'll confuse the dog.) It will make a loud noise, and frighten the dog. It shouldn't take more than a week if you are constantly at the dog. Then, you can try taking the cone off the dogs neck. If the dog still persists, so must you and use the same method. Marcy
If you hit your dog how long will it remember you hit it?
- Memory Span Of A Dog: Each dog has a different memory and like people they have different personalities. For instance if you shout at some breeds of dogs they will slink and hide, while other dogs appear to have hurt feelings from being hit by their owner, but can shake it off very shortly. However, it's still very wrong to hit a dog! There is no reason for it and good training is consistency, gentle handling, specific commands, patience and good rewards towards your pet if they deserve it along with some fun. It is noted by trainers that dogs learn far quicker and retain memory to commands during play time than an hour of constant commands and no play. Dogs can remember being hit for quite a long while and some dogs will become mean and aggressive because of it because that's what they have been taught; 'don't trust a human or you'll get hit.' Although not as smart as humans a dogs brain does retain pain and shame if it's constantly being hit or beaten.
- Beating an animal is never OK. Even a dog in the wild would not be bitten and physically dominated by the pack's alpha if it stepped out of line in the wild. Wild wolf packs are made out of family members, and any disagreements are highly ritualised and it is rare for either party to come to any physical harm, as a great deal of the "fighting" is just posturing and showing teeth. 1 or 2 smacks to the hind-quarters is unlikely to do your dog any harm, but is also unlikely to do any good. Beating however, is different. If you have even hit your dog with a stick or other kind of weapon, it will remember. If you threw it down the stairs etc, it will remember. There are better ways to show your dog what you want it to do than to hit it.
- Dogs need corrections. Remember, dogs tend to repeat that which is pleasant, and avoid that which is not. Timing for corrections and praise is critical, the correction should be applied as the dog is behaving incorrectly, and praise applied as soon as the dog behaves in a way that is considered correct. Dogs look up to their owners for guidance, and the "this is what a dog would do in a pack situation" just doesn't work in a domestic setting. For an example, if a young dog or puppy living with a pack was to attempt to approach a snake, or other dangerous situation, his mother would not smack him in the butt, of across the nose, she would take him by the scruff, growl, perhaps a little shake, and the puppy would associate what he was doing as not being acceptable behaviour. If a young dog, again in a pack scenario, was to pester, annoy, or attempt to dominate another dog that is higher up in the pack order, the other dog doesn't smack it on the nose or butt, but will often posture and growl to show it's displeasure. Even these do not use physical force. However, these scenarios do not apply to a human owner and their pet dog. If the dog was in immediate danger, then restraining the dog is naturally the best way to keep the dog from harm. This is NOT the same as hitting or correcting.

What are some good things about solar power?
- Wind energy is friendly to the surrounding environment, as no fossil fuels are burnt to generate electricity from wind energy.
- Wind turbines take up less space than the average power station. Windmills only have to occupy a few square meters for the base, this allows the land around the turbine to be used for many purposes, for example agriculture.
Newer technologies are making the extraction of wind energy much more efficient. The wind is free, and we are able to cash in on this free source of energy.
- Wind turbines are a great resource to generate energy in remote locations, such as mountain communities and remote countryside. Wind turbines can be a range of different sizes in order to support varying population levels.
- Another advantage of wind energy is that when combined with solar electricity, this energy source is great for developed and developing countries to provide a steady, reliable supply of electricity.
- its free

How do you stop a yorkie puppy from biting?
It is natural for puppies to bite. They don't have hands or fingers, so they explore their world with their mouths. A puppy's mother and siblings can help teach him not to bite. For that reason, puppies shouldn't be taken from their mother too early. If a puppy has already left his mother, you can help teach him not to bite yourself.
When playing with your puppy, if he gets too rough and nips or bites too hard, give out a shrill "YIP!" or "OUCH!". Even if it doesn't, pretend your puppy's bite really hurt and stop playing with him for a short time. Puppies are smart and learn quickly that the fun and games stop if he puts his mouth on you.
Then be careful not to encourage rough-housing with your pup. He needs to get very clear signals about what behavior is and isn't appropriate. Look for games to play with your pup that don't encourage wild, wacky, biting behavior.
if it is a chew toy then they will but if they are stressed out they will chew on any type of furniture, so you should talk to your vet if your dog is well trained and is chewing on things that he/she shouldn't be.
This amount will vary a lot depending upon many factors. Most dogs wardens will average in making $40,000 a year.
What are dogs saying when they bark?
It can depend. Sometimes they are saying, "Give me more attention and love!" Sometimes they are saying, "Let me out I need to use the bathroom!" and maybe saying that they are hungry or thirsty.
Yes but you must be very careful because with the rat harnesses they sell if you are too rough then you could hurt your rat.
Please be carefull as rats have very short legs and can't really walk very fast.
How to make my dog stop growling at me?
First, this is not funny and putting the dog in another room will not solve the problem. A dog will often bark at the TV out of fear or anxiety. There are a couple of ways to handle this issue. One is to teach your dog to bark on command. This helps them to understand when it's okay to bark and when it isn't. The second method is to keep some treats on hand. Something very special that they don't get any other time, like boiled chicken. Keep the pieces very small. When your dog barks at the TV, call him/her to you. When they are quiet for a few seconds, praise them and give them a treat. Soon the dog will learn that it's far better to come and sit quietly by you than to bark at the TV.
Why does your dog keep barking at night?
Dogs usually wake up barking because they've usually heard an unfamiliar noise, which made them wake up. It may have startled them, too. Their bark is really a warning to let you know that they think something's wrong.
A dog's hearing range is much wider than ours and they can hear things in the higher frequencies where we aren't even aware there even was a noise.
Then again, it could just be someone slamming a car door a few doors down.
Dogs are protective of you and your family and it's just watching out for you.
What should you do if your dog keeps chewing her harness?
First of all check the dog harness is correctly fitted, you should be able to get one finger comfortably under each side strap or two under the belly strap. Many dogs chew out of discomfort. Check the harness is not chafing your dog either side of the front legs - this can be caused either by a poor fit, too loose or too tight or a rough lining. If you need to replace your dog harness, consider a soft, comfortable fleece dog harness for your dog, as when correctly fitted these cannot chafe or irritate.
Why does my dog bark just at me?
if they come up and sniff they like you but if they don't then you must have something they like, so you are just like me

How do you stop your dog urinating when people come to the house?
Step one is to find out whether another dog has ever urinated in the other person's house. If so, your dog may be reacting to that scent and believes it is okay to toilet there because other dogs have. Thoroughly cleaning the area with an enzymatic cleaner such as Nature's Miracle may help. Sometimes dogs don't generalize training. That means that just because they understand a command or behavior in one location doesn't mean they understand to apply it in another location. You may have to repeat training in the new location to help the dog generalize. With each new place where you review training it should take less and less time to get the job done. Supervise the dog closely when in a home other than your own. As with her original training, interrupt if she starts to act like she needs to toilet and rush her outside. Remember to praise when she goes in an appropriate location. Another approach is to control her feeding, toileting, and exercise schedule to reduce her need to toilet while you are visiting. Don't feed, water, or exercise for at least an hour before you plan to visit. Toilet just before entering in a designated potty area at the friends' home so she can see there is a designated area nearby and so she can empty out before you go in.
