It's a dog's lifeSavvy Chocolate Labrador's dogblog

(By Joe Cinova)

So here’s the big question. When and how do I start to cut my dog’s nails? It’s a great question and with a little education and the right tools you can be on your way shortly. In this article I’ll also give you my #1 secret for cutting a small, little, nervous dogs’ nails.

 The first thing you need to do before starting is to understand the whole procedure or it can be quite a traumatic experience for your pet and for you. The process itself is much easier on a dog that has “white” or “light-colored” nails than those like my Miniature Pinchers that are black.  Ok so let’s get started.

 The first step in developing a successful program for cutting your pets nails is starting when they are young. Very young! Although cutting nails is a common occurrence for us, for a dog it’s probably one of the most nerve-racking things they can be put through. Getting them use to having their nails cut is so important. It’s something that will help them and you for years to come.

As soon as we got our girls home from the breeder, I got them used to having their nails cut. I developed my own process and started using it immediately. Even if I didn’t really cut their nails I would go thru the actions of doing so. This way it becomes second nature to them.

 Next, they always were treated and praised with a cookie after I am done. They very easily relate me cutting their nails to a positive outcome, providing I’ve done it correctly. To do so, the first and foremost item you need is a proper pair of nail cutters. DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT use nail clippers meant for a human. Here’s why.

 A dogs nails are different in 3 important ways. First, they are much harder than our nails. Second, their nails have what is called the “quick”. This is where the “living” part of the nail begins. And third, a dogs nails are shaped completely different than ours. They are basically “flat and curved to the shape of our fingers.

 The right nail cutters will make all the difference in the world. There are 2 basic types to consider. There are guillotine cutters or scissor type. Generally speaking the scissor type is better suited to a smaller animal in my opinion. Having to manipulate the larger guillotine type cutter on small nails just isn’t an easy thing to do. Also, the scissor type nail cutters have a “backing” plate to prevent you taking off too much nail at one time.

 Both of these cutters work well on a pet’s claws for one big reason. They are shaped to enclose and cut all around the nail in one shot. If you used regular clippers for a human, they will “crush” the nail and it will break off in pieces. Your dog will go nuts.

 When we cut our nails we know we can safely cut the nails down very close to the tip of the finger. If we cut too close to the skin, IT HURTS! Well, in a similar fashion, if we cut too close to the “quick” on a dog’s nails IT WILL HURT THE DOG. Preventing this from happening is the difference between keeping them happy and you from sweating bullets.

 So what is the ”quick” in a dog’s nail? Simply put it is a blood vessel that runs inside the center of a dogs nail. This is the part that you need to watch out for and the longer you wait between cuttings the closer to the end of the nail it will be.

On light colored nails it is easy to see. It is the “pinkish or whitish” looking colored part of the nail closer to the paw. Shining a light thru the bottom of the nail will also let you see it better. For dogs with darker or black nails it is much more of a challenge to cut the nail properly. Shining a light may help but the proper way to do it is a little at a time.

 As you cut off very small sections of the dark colored nail you need to keep looking at the front edge of the nail. The nail will have a top dark color and the bottom will be a light or off color white. Once you cut the nail and are at a section where the “top dark color” turns to a slight gray or even a pinkish looking color, you need to stop. This is where the “quick” begins. Success! One down seven to go.

 Clipping their nails on a REGULAR basis will help tremendously. Every three to four weeks should do the job. Even small cuts automatically make the quick retreat back towards the paw. This is what you want to happen so it’s not as much of a worry. This is especially true for dark colored nails.

 If you wait too long between cuttings it is a major discomfort to the animal. It can cause health issues including sore feet and hip problems. The nails should barely touch the ground when they walk. So if you hear them tapping on the floor or see them getting caught in the rugs, it’s time to cut them.

Now for my #1 secret for cutting a small, little, nervous dogs’ nails. Remember I told you I have Min Pins. They are quite a high strung breed and never have and still don’t take well to having their nails cut. The girls, who are 5 years old aren’t that bad. TC on the other hand is a male. He just turned 17 years old this year and is still feisty as ever.

 He is the one that needs all the comfort and understanding in the world before I can touch him. He has never gotten used to it until a few years back. The secret I use is to cover him with his own blanket while I am cutting his nails.

He always tried to nip whoever cut his nails. So I first bought a small muzzle. That stopped him from biting but it made him More nervous. So I decided to place his blanket on my lap put him on it and cover him up in it while I cut. It calmed him down, which calmed me down and now we’re both friends again. LOL!

 I reach in and take one paw at a time and it’s now a pleasure. For whatever reason, having the blanket around him keeps him calm so it’s well worth trying especially on a smaller dog. You’ve seen the same effect on other animals. Ever watch them try to wrap up an alligator on TV? What’s the first thing they do? They throw a blanket over their eyes. Well its doing the same thing here, its keeping them calm.

 Talk to your vet and have them show you the correct procedure for trimming your pets nails. Use sharp nail cutters and remember to start them young and keep their nails trimmed. Proper pet care is a great responsibility. The most important thing for you is consistency and patience. Don’t let the little things stop you from enjoying their company. You’ll be glad you didn’t and so will they!

 Thanks for reading.

For most dogs with long hair fall brings the second heavy shed of the year. Dogs such as the Belgian Sheepdog with it’s jet black coat can be strikingly beautiful if maintained with the appropriate dog grooming supplies.

You will notice during dog grooming that the coat of longhaired dogs is double, with a soft, dense inner coat and a longer, slightly coarser outer coat. The coat on the Belgian for example, is medium long with noticeable fringes on the legs and tail as well as longer and thicker hair around the neck in the ruff and chest area.

While dog grooming a Belgian take note of any white on the toes of the back feet, which can extend between the pads, any white on the front feet is a serious fault in the show ring. The muzzle can have a slight amount of white or gray coloration. In some areas, the coat may fade to a slightly reddish tinge and this is not a fault if it is due to the environment and not to the actual coloration of the dog.

The Belgian Sheepdog as well as all longhaired breeds of dogs “blows” their coat in the spring and fall. This means that the winter and summer coat is lost in a very heavy shed twice a year. Longhaired dogs actually have two coats; the outer coat is thicker, coarser and designed to provide protection and waterproofing. The inner coat is softer, shorter and denser, adding insulation for the dog.

When shedding the inner, softer coat often becomes matted or tangled with the longer, outer coat resulting in thick, knots of hair that may need clipping to be removed. Daily dog grooming with a quality dematting tool will prevent matts and tangles. Also during the shedding season, a bath with FURminator dog shampoo will loosen the hair and make dog grooming much easier. Remember to use only dog specific dog grooming supplies, as human products will cause skin irritations and other issues.

Bathing your longhaired dog in the heavy shed times of the year in your own bathtub will leave a mess. If you choose to do the bathing yourself, it is best done outside in a dog bath tub. This way all of the hair can be collected and discarded without clogging your drains. Using FURminator dog grooming supplies will keep your house hair free for about four to six weeks. To accomplish this goal you will need to really work up a lather when bathing and then immediately brush your dog when the bath is over.

Always groom the outer coat first using a stiff bristle dog brush or dog combs. After the outer areas, including the fringe on the legs and the longer hair on the ruff is completely knot free, use a dog-grooming rake or pin brush to brush the inner coat. Simply and gently, push the longer outer coat up and groom the inner coat downwards in the direction of hair growth. Using these dog grooming supplies daily, especially during the shedding season will prevent most knots and mats from forming.

Using dog grooming scissors, clip the hair around the feet and between the pads to prevent balls from forming between the toes. These balls of hair and debris can cause severe lameness and infections between the toes. Clipping the long hairs on the ears and plucking or pulling any long hairs, in the outer ear area will help prevent infections in the ear itself.

Lastly, your dog grooming sessions should include a brushing their teeth. This component is something some dog owners forget. Dog are just as susceptible to the same tooth and gum diseases as us humans. Grooming your dog should be fun for all. By using the appropriate dog grooming supplies, you will enjoy a cleaner house and beautiful looking dog with fresh breath ready for those sloppy kisses.

Pugs are compact dogs that are full of charm. The breed is instantly recognizable by its short legs and stocky build. However, the most prominent feature of the Pug is the extraordinarily large eyes and wrinkled little face. Although some small breeds of dog can be snappy and aggressive, the Pug is known for its complete lack of aggression. Consequently, the Pug can make a wonderfully affectionate, loyal and playful family pet.

Origins of the Pug

The origins of the little Pug are thought to begin in Asia, where they made their first appearance pre 400 B.C. Unfortunately, it is impossible to be accurate about the date, but it does make the Pug one of the oldest breeds of domesticated dog. As a small breed, the dog has always been a favorite among royalty and nobility.

However, by the 18th century the popularity of the breed was cemented when being kept as the pet of Holland’s William of Orange. It is believed that William’s pet Pug saved his life, by alerting him to the impending arrival of the Spanish forces. After this event, the Pug was name as the official dog of the House of Orange.

Due to its size, the Pug was not really capable of being used as a working dog, subsequently they were principally kept as pets by the rich and powerful. Nevertheless, as William of Orange’s Pug demonstrated, they could also prove useful to humans.

Appearance

Usually, the average Pug will grow to approximately 12-14 inches in height and will weigh about 20lbs. However, owners should be aware that Pugs can put on weight very quickly, because they have a seemingly incessant appetite and a love of all things lazy. Therefore, it is important not to overfeed a Pug and to ensure that he, or she, gets plenty of exercise.

The breed comes in a variety of colors. However, the most commonly seen are fawn, black, apricot and silver. Regardless of the color, the Pug’s muzzle is always black. All Pugs have very short coats, which are easy to groom. Nevertheless, the Pug will shed profusely during the shedding season, so the breed may not be suitable for allergy sufferers.

Temperament

As mentioned above, the Pug is a very loyal dog, which becomes quickly attached and devoted to his, or her, owner. This affection can cause problems if the dog is left alone for extended periods, while you are at work for example. In addition, the strong attachment that a Pug feels for its owner can manifest itself in jealous behavior if the dog is not receiving any attention. While this means that good training is important, potential owners should bear in mind that aggression in Pugs is almost unheard of, so jealousy will not pose a danger to people or other animals.

Pugs are known for being extremely intelligent, which has its pros and cons. On the upside, it means that training them can be a quick and easy process, but, on the downside, Pugs will quickly become bored with repetition. Therefore, training needs to be varied to keep them amused.

Health Concerns

Like most breeds of dog, the Pug is susceptible to some genetically predisposed medical issues. Pug owners may find that their dogs suffer from obesity, skin irritation, allergies, breathing problems and sensitivity to temperature. To avoid potential skin problems, it is wise to regularly clean a Pug’s face, including between the wrinkles. Moreover, to help prevent obesity and breathing difficulties it is important that a Pug gets plenty of exercise, but be careful not to overdo it, as this may increase breathing difficulties.

Regardless of the many health problems that the breed is susceptible to, the average Pug has a relatively long life, living for 12 to 15 years.

Despite having a face that only a mother could love, there is something incredibly cute about the Pug. The breed makes a wonderful family pet, but it is always advisable to assess the needs of the dog before bringing one home.

Bungee dog leashes are a new and improved way to walk, train, and manage your pet more effectively, and with less effort. They have been proven to be helpful aids in making all these activities much more pleasant. The following information should provide encouragement and hope for anyone who is seeking an easier way to handle a dog.

There are quite a few of these pet accessories available, and some of the basic characteristics are common with all of them. Made with elastic cores, all are constructed to alleviate the pressure on a dog when they are pulling against a person. The bungee leash serves as a type of shock absorber, where the pressure is decreased, and not concentrated on the dog’s neck, shoulders, and back like it is with a standard leash.

The bungee dog leashes will also minimize the hand stress on the person walking or training a dog. This can be a tremendous relief for a person with arthritis or other physical conditions. A reduction in pressure makes them easier to hold, without having to wrap the leash around the hand.

All leashes have a tendency to get tangled quite easily. Another nice feature of the bungee dog leashes is that they do not tangle as often, like those made out of non-elastic materials. The elastic performance of the bungee core makes this possible, and helps the whole dog-walking experience to be a much more pleasurable one.

Some features of these bungee cord leashes are very helpful when used for training. Most of them will stretch 6’ to 10’, which allows adequate safety when teaching a dog it will not be rewarded when tugging the leash, and rewarded when it is relaxed. Some also have a self-correcting feature, which permits only the correct length of leash for training purposes.

It is best to purchase bungee dog leashes that do not have an excessive amount of stretch in them. This will help to avoid the sling shot effect you can get from some of them. Different sizes and styles are available for dogs up to 165 pounds. Extensions and couplers can be used easily with these leashes for walking more than one dog.

Walking and training a dog can become a more pleasurable experience by using one of these leashes.

Steven Weber has many articles on his site about dog training, dog health and using bungee dog leashes.

Working out how to make homemade dog food may be time consuming initially, but if you aim to make seven different meals, it will give your dog variety and you will be able to slip easily into a weekly routine.

That makes life a lot easier. You just shop for the same things every week.

I like easy. There are plenty of things that keep our minds occupied without creating any more. And your dog’s diet is too important not to take seriously.

But if you want to make your own dog food, you do need to know a bit about nutrition. Or you need to go somewhere reliable for that information.

How do you know it’s reliable information?

Whenever I want to know the answer to a diet related problem for a dog, I always try to work out what a wild dogs diet is. Wild dogs have evolved on their diet for millennia. It has stood them in good stead.

Domestic dogs have been fed commercial pet food for just a few decades. Humans know very little about the complex substance called food. They try to synthesise nutrients or cut corners for profit. In the long term, it’s unlikely anyone can improve on nature.

The first, vital thing that this says to me is that dog food should be raw.

There are now a growing number of raw dog food suppliers springing up everywhere. But you do need to be a bit wary.

First, is this quality food? It’s unlikely to be as the quality food will go for the more lucrative human market. So the next question is, is the quality acceptable? Go by the look, the smell and what your dog thinks. A healthy dog will generally not eat bad food (except for commercial food with it’s appetite stimulants and other ‘disguises’).

The next question is, does the food have a high fat content disguised by beetroot juice (yes, it does happen)? You can tell by the slightly odd colour and by how greasy it is.

Next, is the food balanced? When learning how to make homemade dog food, this is crucial. Feeding your dog one type of food is unlikely to provide him with all the nutrients essential for a healthy dog.

And the final important question to ask is, does the food contain preservatives? Preservatives that are used in dog food and pet food generally don’t bear thinking about. They are not the less harmful ones considered acceptable (by some) for human consumption. They are the real nasties – ethoxyquin, formaldehyde and worse.

Taking all these points into consideration, you may find it preferable to make your own dog food from scratch. That is, to buy each ingredient individually, so you can see the quality, and mix them all together for that all important balance.

However you work out how to make homemade dog food, your dog will be much happier and much healthier as a result. Although it’s unlikely that you will spend more in terms of money on a homemade diet, you will in all probability, spend more time, certainly initially as you get your head around it.

However, when you weigh that up against the enormous financial savings you will make on your dog’s good health, let alone the angst you won’t suffer, it’s easy to make the choice.

We are all aware that there are certain behavior patterns pet owners will not tolerate from their dog. Activities such as eating your newspaper in the morning and your show for lunch can be categorized as bad. Barking all night or attacking your neighbor are also signs that your dog could use some behavior training, which might help him a lot, and make your life a whole lot easier. Additionally, even if this may sound like an overstatement, keeping your dog under controlled and acceptable patterns of behavior may also save you as the pet owner, from some trouble with the law.

Dogs that bark all night can become a real nuisance. However, the trick is not to lose your patience, since getting angry and shouting at your dog will only result in a competition in which the dog will try to be louder than you. The first step is to try and find the reason he is barking. Some dogs are afraid of the dark, there could be an animal hidden under the porch, or a legitimate security breach in your home. If you feel you have searched everywhere and failed to produce a reason for the constant barking, then perhaps, the issue is that your dog doesn’t know it’s wrong. At this point some behavior training needs to come in place. There are several items in the store that can be of great help. The collar, for example, will provide a small electric shock at a distance letting your dog know that what he is doing is bad, in this case barking.

A more serious behavior problem would be a dog that bites. Not only is a biting dog putting the whole neighborhood at risk, but also himself. Depending on where you live, the new laws in the United States give authorities the power to put down your dog if he is considered to be a public menace. Thus, it is a good idea to start training your dog early to avoid any problems in the future. Young puppies are inclined to bite your hand in a playful manner, because it’s in their nature to do so. However, when they engage in this type of behavior, have a toy on one hand, and praise them with the other. If you repeat this activity enough, they will soon realize it’s a good thing to chew on the toy because they are getting rewarded for it.

Training dogs to improve their behavior can be burdensome for those doing it for the first time. If you feel you need some help, don’t be afraid to ask your veterinarian to point you in the right direction. Ask around for dog training classes in your neighborhood, that will not only get you on the path of training a good dog, but will provide a medium for your dog to develop social skills with people and other dogs. Considering that behavior problems on dogs are mostly related to their surroundings, a more comfortable, group atmosphere may work wonders. Show your dog a good time, and in the process you will gain a friend that respects you as well.

When your dog is caught in the act, doing his business in the living room floor, remember that as a child you were also unaware of the right thing to do. Teaching your dog not to leave his excrement all over your home will require teaching your dog a few things, which will not be accomplished in one day. You will need to set aside some time for the task, and be prepared to spend some more observing your god’s behavior in order to be successful. If you feel you are not up to it, or simply just lack the time necessary to come through, consider a dog trainer. A professional can ease your burden, making sure your dog is trained properly and in the least amount of time.

Do not be fooled, house training your dog is a difficult task that demands much of the owner’s time and attention. The first thing you need to do is observe your dog, in order to tell when he is looking to relieve himself. Some people seem to believe their dog will show obvious signs, like barking. Only to find dog stools all over the house. Some of the signs you are most likely to notice is squat walking. You dog will bend his hind legs and walk slowly and conspicuously towards a selected spot in the house he has already chosen himself for his mischief.

House training your dog is not at all complicated, yet it will take some time. The next step is to place some newspaper somewhere around the home. Whenever you catch your dog leaving excrements anywhere besides the paper, you need to take him to the newspaper immediately. The purpose of this activity is to let him know where he needs to go, even if you’re not around. Depending on how stubborn your dog is, it will take that many trips to the paper before he understands the message you are trying to convey.

The third step in this process is, having learned the signs on your dog that show he is in need to relieve himself, quickly pick him up and take him outside, or to his assigned newspaper in the house. Once you have taken the dog to his “special place”, speak the words you will assign to this activity, like do your thing, poppy time, etc. You will be trying to associate the activity with the words. But most importantly, once he is done, give him lots of praise. Show your appreciation for a job well done. Praising your puppy for a good deed is a lot more effective than chasing him around to punish him physically, once you’ve noticed he has done badly.

Finally, pet owners need to realize that their dog is not going to get it the first time around. Some dogs will require much repetition, some more than others. There is also a great deal of published information explaining various methods and techniques. Explore the alternatives and run them through your veterinarian, who might be able to give you and important insight on house training your dog.
