Three things you can do to Fix 90% of Dog behaveral Isus

Do you have a unruly dog? My dachshund was, she would bark and bark outside all the time. It was annoying and embarrassing. In a short time 90% of the issue are solved.

Do know how? it sounds like the hokiest thing, something that you would say "that would never work".  But it did for me.
#1"Walking on a leash."
Ok Ok, I know how it sound but stick with me. Most people don't walk there dog properly I know I didn't.
Here's a video that will hopefully help you.
I did not use a slip lead I just used my dogs collar. But the most important thing in my opinion is keeping the dog next to you.And keaping calm because the dog can tell and get's exited from your energy.

#2 thing to do is "not let the dog" out the door before you. That way your dog will know you are the leader.

#3 "Find a trigger" What if your dog does bark? you need to find somethings to snap them out of  the mindset of "bark". Weather that be a noise or something else. But then you need to make sure to go to them and calm them all the way down.

Here's a video that might help:

What to Use to Brush your Dogs Teeth

It is important to brush your dogs teeth. You can go to a vet and have them sedated, to clean there teeth. But that costs a fortune! And some dogs it is not good for them to be sedated (like my dog because she is Epileptic.)You can give them tarter cleaning treats. But you need to brush there teeth too.

What kind of tooth brush should you use? If it's a big dog you can use a long handled tooth brush. For my (small dachshund) dog I use a finger brush. You can also get rubberized toys that have bristles like a toothbrush. And your dogs can chew on then and clean there teeth, you can smear a little peanut butter on it to get then interested.

Healthy Carrot Dog Treats





Hello fellow readers, I have a recipe that I made for you today. but before I tell you how to make it I want to tell you a little history of it. We have a dog named Ruben. we got him when he was five, He had bad teeth. one day we got all his teeth pulled out. now he's much happier, but he can not eat most of the tree, out in the stores. so I made up this recipe that he can eat much easier, and he loves them too. our other dog who has no problem eating the other treats, also will eat these treats. and they're also good for them because they have carrots.

Today I will be sharing a recipe with you. of how to make healthy carrot dog treats. I know your dogs will love them, ours certainly did.  And these streets are very quick and easy to make, only about 20 minutes for the whole process. This recipe makes about 30 treats.
 The first step is to mix all the ingredients together. you should come out with a doughy consistency. You will have to get your hands a little dirty for this step, a spoon is hard to use to mix so I just use my fingers. Now once it's all mixed you'll take it out brake about a quarter sized pieces off or maybe a penny, if you want smaller teats.  Get a cookie sheet out. and now take the piece you break off and squash it down flat, and put it on the sheet. Now just repeat with all of them and tell you how all the dough used. That's how you make my healthy carrot dog treats. Cook in the oven, 350 degrees. for 5 to 10 minutes.


 You'll know they're done when the outside is still if you squeeze it, but it has a little of a crisp top layer on it. It is best if you keep these in the refrigerator, because if you don't they will move very fast. They do not have any preservatives in them to keep them fresh, so they will do that.


These are so healthy you could eat them yourself (they don't taste very good, I tried)😄😝


 Simple and easy!
 So let's get down dirty.  Get out Our aprons.
 Now here is the recipe for you.

 1 half a cup of grated carrots
 1 1/8 cups of flour
 3/4 a cup of peanut butter
 1 oz  of water

Helping dogs



I love animals, do You?  we were out in the car. We saw guide dogs and their owner's training together.  it was so touching to see. the dong would guide the blind man, and a designated color would drive right in front of them!  I would think will the dog stop him in time or not?  Every time they die song stop the person and jerked him back out of danger. they lacked the block 3 or 4 times. we saw several people training with their dogs.

I love to see When Animals help people. When people think of a service dog what do you think, you think of a guide dog for the blind…. right? That is not always the case though there are lots of other kinds of services Dogs. It does not even always have to be a dog.

Teaching a Dog




basic commands
I taught all of the basic commands first, come is a very important command.

Come: you need your dog to come right away when your dog is called in case it gets into a dangerous situation. for this one you kind of need 2 people you can do it with 1 but 2 is easier. With two people you will want one person to sit at one end of the room or yarn and one at the other. place the dog with one person. the other person needs to have some treats that person will call the dog and hold out the treat the dawn will come running to the person. in turn you will reward the dog with a treat and lots of pets and then the other person will call the dog back and do the same. you will keep repeating this process several times daily. With one person. you will want to have a Long Leash on your dog. And a treat in your hand. You will want to play the dunk in front of you and run back as quick as you can still facing the dog. And say catching him we can get on the saying Come As You Are. when the dog comes you give them the treat and several pets reward them heavily.

 Sit: To teach this command you will want to have treats again. making it fun for your pooch. You will want to raise the treat above your dog's head an. If the dog doesn't automatically sit you will want to gently push on the rump of your dog to make him sit.
Stay: You will want to put them on a leash again. stand in front of them holding the leash having treats in your hand. You will want to step back a few steps wait for a second, then go back to the dog and reward them with the treat and as your dog gets better with staying. you will want to make it farther back and staying there longer each time.

Lie down: put a treat in front of the dog's nose, as you lower it to the ground.  as you say "lie down". If needed put a hand on the dogs back and lightly push down.

Wait: this is a politeness manner. I a treat in front of their nose and tell them to wait. if they go for it tell them no and tap them on their side.

Leave it: To teach this you may want a leash, so you can control them more. get a threat and through it ways away. If your dog starts to go for it say "leave it" then "come". This is where the leash may come in handy. 

To teach the dog to walk next to you. You will want to put the dog on a leash, and walk the dog as normal. Do not pull the leash tight, let it be loose in your hand.
    walk the dog right next to you. If the dog starts to get too far away, give the leash a little jerk and bring him back. As soon as he is beside you again relax the leash.

Tricks
Now I started teaching some tricks.

Roll over: take a treat. Tell the dog to roll over. Pat at the floor on the opposite side you started on. Guide the dog if needed.

shake: put a treat in one hand, put your other hand in front of the dog. Tell him to "shake". If your pet doesn't get it right away. lift the pets paw and place it in your hand. then give the treat.


Now I know it sounds hokey too but it works. your adatood makes a different, in how your dog listens to you. 

you must be {to quote Cesar Millan}"calm and assertive". Stand up straight and be the leader.
We've taught our dogs that good enough, now we can control them pretty well. Dogs need boundaries if you don't give them that or seem weak they will become the leader.


here are the videos I follow and used for training I hope they will help you too.

But most of all even through all the discipline and rules. Your dog must have some time to be reworded and play.

My Story and Review, of Getting a Pet at the Oregon Humane Society

I will talk about how we got our new dog (Missy). I will share my experience with you.

  
Picking a pet:
We got Missy at the Oregon Humane Society (OHS). We knew we wanted a small lap dog, just like my previous dog (Sadie).

You can just go and look at all the different animals at the shelter if you want. Internet is so handy for everything now-a-days. Almost everyone has a website four there business. So we looked online at OHS. We saw all the animals. It is easier and faster, I think to look at home first, and narrow it down to one or two animals you want to go see. Then go see them.



My story:

 
    Sadie was a small black dog. She loved to be held. she was almost always cold, she would get up by the wood fireplace even in her old age.

   She was  a spoiled little baby of a dog. Everyone was extremely sad when she died she was part of the family (at some point every pet is not just a pet anymore but family.) She lived a long life though 15 years, and she got to die a natural death, of old age.


   When Sadie was about 10 we got another dog, named Reuben. Sadie rejected him at first but after a while they became best of friends.
                                            Sadie                    Reuben             Sadie + Reuben


  
   Then we got A new dog Missy, After Sadie died. We were Vary worried about how Reuben would react to the new dog. He had waited in the car with my mom and brother, while My dad and me where in the shelter. We had got Reuben from a shelter setting too and did not want to subject him to that.
   My brother was holding him and when we started to come out with Missy, my mom took Reuben in the front seat with her. Which was good, because there was a totally opposite reaction than we expected. He was panting and pulling trying to get back to Missy. He welcomed Missy Full heartedly.

How to Bathe a Dog



    We have two small dogs. One is mine and one is my brothers. I usually end up bathing both of them. I don’t mind. But they can be quite a handful sometimes,( trying to jump out of the tub and all.)
