HOW TO STOP YOUR DOG FROM BARKING

Barking is a natural way for dogs to communicate. Barking may have a natural cause: the animal is sick or reacting to a certain stimulus. However, frequent unexplained barking may be the result of improper training. There could be several reasons why your dog is barking too much. The dog may bark while playing, when in danger or because of anxiety, to warn an opponent, when guarding its territory or out of boredom. Some dogs bark because they're in pain or have another health issue.

The best way to prevent barking in the first place is to try and remove any potential sources of the behavior. Consult your veterinarian to address any health conditions.

WHAT NOT TO DO?

✔️Never yell at your dog;

✔️Avoid punishments like shock collar;

✔️Don't let your dog bark constantly when it's outside, regardless of the reason. Teach your dog the "Quiet" command, or switch his attention to something more interesting, or try to avoid a stimulus that causes barking.

DOES DOG URINE KILL PLANTS

Many of us already know that dog urine is killing plants. The reason that the effect of dog urine on plants is negative because of its chemical composition. As you might have already figured out, the common belief that dog urine causes stains or darkening is misleading. After all, urine is alkaline. In contrast, dog urine burns plants due to the high concentration of nitrogen and salts. This concept hits a small piece of a plantation or grass and causes the plant to “burn”.

THE BEST DOGS FOR KIDS

To answer that question, you don't need to claim that a particular breed is the perfect choice. What really matters is the individual dog you bring into your home. The dog’s breed doesn’t matter quite as much as many think. There is no guarantee that you’ll get a sweet, wonderful, non-aggressive dog simply by picking a “good” breed. It’s just not how dogs work.

A bored, under-exercised dog with pent-up energy is more likely to steal kids toys and do all kinds of things that can get in the way of the relationship many parents seek.

A long-haired dog with high grooming needs could be a nightmare for a family who don’t have a lot of time.

If kids want a dog to play or run around in the yard with, then a playful dog will be the best option. If a child prefers the snuggling part of dog ownership, acquiring a dog who is lower in energy, is happy to sit on their lap and loves being petted is going to be the best dog for them.

WHEN DO PUPPIES START WALKING

Once your puppy can walk on its own, you can start walking. But it is very important for your puppy to have all the necessary vaccinations first.

Then you need to prepare the area from all kinds of "prey" that can attract the attention of your pet if you live in a private house. Also, check that there are no holes in the fence, so that stranger dogs do not run into the territory or your pet does not run in search of adventure. Train your puppy on a leash and collar while walking on your territory. And in no case do not allow anything to be lifted off the floor.

Most owners make the first vaccinations to their pets at the age of 1.5-2 months, this age is considered generally accepted for walking.

International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day

📍Today, February 23rd is considered the best day of the year for dogs. Do you know, why? Because today Dog Biscuit Day is celebrated!

Where and when did this holiday appear?

🍪Nobody knows for sure the origin of this holiday. But around 1828, small quantities of dog biscuits began to be produced in England. Although a kind of dog bread had already been around for many years, this particular biscuit was different. It consisted of meat, grains, and vegetables. Later, of course, it evolved into the already familiar one to us and is still loved and eaten by all dogs in the world.

The first major dog biscuit maker was James Spratt from Ohio, who came to England and produced the biscuit in 1860. And already in 1907, the first biscuit in the shape of a bone for dogs appeared in America and was immediately approved.

🦴 DOGS HAVE TO SMELL COVID 19

🐕‍🦺 Italpol demonstrated at Rome Fiumicino Airport how its trained service can identify passengers infected with the COVID-19 coronavirus.
The company has the dogs’ work in one of the airport’s terminals in the arrivals area. In the future, it is planned to use these animals, not for demonstrations, but to work with real passengers.
🐕 Italpol explained that it takes six to eight weeks to train a dog to identify who might be infected with COVID-19 by smell. One of the advantages of this method is that the dog can quickly identify a potential patient even if he does not have any symptoms. The Italian dog handlers explained that the training is in the form of a game: if the dogs detect the “smell” of the coronavirus, they are given a ball to play with.
🐶 The idea of using dogs to determine whether a person is sick with coronavirus is not new: it has been implemented not only in Italy but also in France and Finland, the study of similar methods also began in Russia last fall.
Training is based on the fact that people with COVID-19 – have a special , which dogs with a good sense of smell can catch. The task of the cynologist is to make sure that the animal reacts exactly to this smell and clearly warns about the detection of a potentially sick person.

Plain and simple, a dog running loose in the back of a moving pickup truck is a tragedy waiting to happen. The Humane Society of Utah has estimated that 100,000 dogs are killed annually because they either jump or get thrown from a pickup.

🐕 4. Leaving a Dog in a Car
Dogs in hot cars is a huge dog car safety issue. The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) reminds pet owners that on a mild 72-degree Fahrenheit day, temperatures inside a car can skyrocket to 116 degrees F within an hour.

🚖 5. Allowing a Dog to Ride in Your Lap While You
When you’re operating a two-ton vehicle, a pet sitting on your lap can cause dire distractions.
