Travel ideas for family pets

Dogs’ needs are often overlooked during holiday road trips, so I thought I’d list a few reminders if your pet dog is lucky enough to come along. Dogs are normally extra naughty when checking out somewhere new, right? ?

1. hide the chocolate from your dog.

When the car is stuffed with goodies, keep all the tempting presents in the trunk if your pet dog will be alone in the car. Wrapping paper and boxes will not stop a dog! It’s easy for me to forget what is in each gift, so when I’m wrapping presents I put all edible gifts in one spot.

2. Be respectful and appreciative.

If you are lucky to have relatives who welcome your dog, make sure you don’t push your luck. truly thank them for allowing you to bring your dog. You could even bring them a gift from your pet dog or have your pet dog give their pet dog a gift.

Follow all your host’s rules and requests, and if you’re not sure what the policies are, ask. Make sure to always pick up after your dog, wipe her paws and keep her off the furniture. Don’t allow her to bark nonstop, to bother the other family pets or guests or to run around like she owns the place.

3. exercise your pet dog a lot more than usual.

Ideally, I take Ace for an hour walk ideal before we leave on road trips. then I walk him again once we reach our destination. I also make sure he gets a lot more exercise the entire week leading up to our trip and during our trip. The less pent-up energy he has, the better.

4. Enforce your normal rules.

Dogs know when they can get away with whatever they want. help your pet dog stay focused and under control at Grandma’s by enforcing the same policies you do at home. have your pet dog sit and stay in the car until you release her. keep her leash on in the house until she is calm. carry treats in your pocket to help her stay focused. Don’t let her charge the door.

5. Bring rawhides and Kong toys.

Chewing helps dogs kick back and get rid of extra energy. Kongs and bones are also good for redirecting the dog’s attention. If your pet dog has trouble kicking back in the car or if your pet dog cries when kenneled, bring along some extra Kongs for when you need her to be quiet or still. To get the best use out of a Kong, fill it with peanut butter and freeze it for a half-hour.

6. stop a sick dog.

If you forget or run out of your dog’s food, who knows if the comfort store in Grandpa’s town is going to carry Nature’s variety grain-free duck meal and turkey meal. אני בספק. Dog’s get upset stomachs very easily if they unexpectedly switch foods. For the same reason, be careful not to give your pet dog too lots of holiday treats and goodies. The last thing you want is a sick dog.

Also, keep a small water dish in the car so you remember to give your pet dog water when you stop for lunch or gas.

7. Bring a training collar and long leash or tie-out.

It’s easy to forget the gentle Leader or prong collar when you’re heading out the door. Your pet dog will likely be a lot more ecstatic at a new place, so you’ll want to have her normal training collar along. also remember any tools that allow her to run off leash or nearly off leash such as a long lead, a tie-out, an e-collar or her favorite toy.

8. consider a collapsible wire kennel.

These are great for traveling because they fold up easily. I bring Ace’s wire kennel anywhere because it fits easily in my trunk. I can set it up again in about 30 seconds. I never know when I’ll have to leave my dog alone for a few hours, and it’s disrespectful to leave him loose in someone’s house.

9. hire a pet sitter or board your dog.

Sometimes it really is less stressful for everyone involved if you leave your pet dog home, especially if the host is not a pet dog person. There are plenty of quality boarding kennels and pet sitters out there, but make sure to book appointments far enough ahead. Do your research and ask questions before boarding your dog.

10. consider staying at a pet friendly hotel.

Most hotels in Fargo take dogs at least in certain rooms. This is the case in a lot of towns. just make sure to book in advance.

דלקת פרקים היא אחד הגורמים השכיחים ביותר לכאבים כרוניים ולצרכים מיוחדים בארצות הברית. הסוג הנפוץ ביותר של דלקת פרקים הוא דלקת מפרקים ניוונית, הפוגעת בדרך כלל בברכיים, ירכיים וידיים. מפרקים אחרים מושפעים לעתים קרובות. כתב העת דלקת מפרקים ושגרון דיווחו כי כ -27 מיליון אמריקאים סובלים מדלקת מפרקים ניוונית. דלקת פרקים יכולה גם להשפיע על הכלבים שלנו, במיוחד על כלבים בכירים.

פעילות גופנית ושמירה על משקל בריא הם שני הטיפולים הטובים ביותר לדלקת פרקים. פוסט חדש בכתב העת Journal Medicine Medicine and Chabiniation מדגיש את התפקיד המכריע שיש לתרגיל אירובי וחיזוק רגיל הן להפסקת דלקת מפרקים ניוונית והן למזער את הכאב והצרכים המיוחדים ברגע שהתרחש דלקת מפרקים ניוונית.

לא מאמינים שהמחקר שפעילות גופנית גורם למפרקים להרגיש טוב יותר? פשוט תראה מה קורה כשאתה צריך לבלות כמה ימים במיטה עם קצת מחלה ויראלית. כשאתה מרגיש טוב יותר וקם ומתנועע, סביר להניח שתרגיש די נוקשה וכואב בכל מקום. הכאב הזה נובע רק מכמה ימים של אי הנעת שרירים ומפרקים. זו גם הסיבה שאסטרונאוטים צריכים להתאמן כשהם בחלל. שרירים ומפרקים מתפקדים בצורה הטובה ביותר ונשמרים בריאים ביותר כאשר הם מתרגלים באופן קבוע.

מספר גזעי כלבי חיות מחמד גדולים יותר נוטים הרבה יותר לפיתוח דלקת פרקים:

Retrievers Golden

Labrador Retrievers

רועים גרמנים

ניופאונדלנדס

סנט ברנרדס

חוקרים מאוניברסיטת פנסילבניה דיווחו כי דלקת מפרקים לא הייתה נדירה אצל כלבים אתלטיים, כמו ביצועים בורזואה וגרייהאונד מירוצים.

Can You Reward a Dog’s Fear?

Can you strengthen a dog’s worry by petting as well as speaking to him when he’s scared?

In this post:

Can you strengthen a dog’s worry by providing affection?
How to strengthen suitable behaviors.
Why you ought to block unsuitable behaviors.

This topic was challenging for me to compose about. I never did come up with a remove response to the question, as well as I hope this publish will be a location for truthful discussion. I’d like to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Can you reward a dog’s worry by providing affection?

If only there were an simple answer!

I consulted with a number of expert canine fitness instructors for this post, including Anthony Newman who runs Calm energy canine Training. He turned the concern around as well as asked me what I thought. Here’s a summary of what I said:

It’s always worked to comfort my canine when his worry does not result in aggression. For example, when he’s frightened of a twister siren, he will curl up on his bed. This doesn’t bother anyone, so I will calmly pet as well as speak with him – or disregard him, which is most likely not so nice! When aggression is involved, like barking at a stranger, I try not to provide affection. I distract him as well as reward calm behavior.

After all my research study for this post, this is what it comes down to for me. providing comfort to a frightened canine is not going to do any type of harm. However, if the canine is showing unsuitable behaviors since of that worry – barking, pacing, growling – then we requirement to discover a method to instruct as well as strengthen a much more suitable behavior.

“We have to keep in mind that worry is an emotion, not a particular behavior,” stated expert canine fitness instructor Joan hunter Mayer, owner of The Inquisitive Canine. We strengthen or punish behaviors, not emotions.

Newman likewise stated worry will not be reinforced because reinforcement comes from providing a reward.

“A really fearful, anxious canine in a high-trigger situation, like thunderstorm-phobia, just won’t care about the cuddling,” he said. The canine won’t be able to experience it as a reward.

Why is this a difficult topic?

One reason this topic is challenging for me is since we don’t all agree on exactly how fearful dogs translate our affection.

Professional canine fitness instructor Ty brown of Dog habits Online said he believes an owner’s affection can likely strengthen a dog’s fearful behavior because there is a disconnect in communication between the two species.

A excellent example of this is when a fear-aggressive little canine is barking as well as growling at strangers from her owner’s arms. brown stated he sees this a great deal with bit dogs.

“The canine is feeling fearful, as well as the owner is stating with voice as well as body language, ‘What a excellent job. זה נכון. I support the specify of mind you’re in,’” brown said. “It’s a type of enabling as well as doesn’t instruct the canine exactly how to offer keeping that fear.”

אני מסכים. Coddling a fear-aggressive canine will not assist her develop the skills she needs to offer with her fears in the future.

“It is essential to keep in mind in any type of canine training that dogs are not primates,” stated expert fitness instructor Rob Peladeau of fine-tuned K9. numerous of the things we do to assist our kids in fearful circumstances do not equate to the canine species.Yet, some fitness instructors state providing comfort might assist a canine feel much better in the moment, at least in some situations.

In her 2011 YouTube video “Calming A Fearful Animal,” expert canine fitness instructor Suzanne Clothier stated canine owners should offer affection to their frightened dogs. however in purchase for that affection to be helpful, it needs to be quiet, firm as well as remove – not frantic.

“Everything in my body language, my movements, my tone of voice, exactly how I touch the animal, has to say, ‘I understand that’s frightening for you. I got your back here,’” Clothier said.

Brown likewise wants his clients to comfort their dogs whenever the dogs are frightened or stressed, as well as he stated the very best method to do that is with structure.

“I want them to do it in a method that leads to growth on the dog’s behalf,” he said. “For example, a canine that is stressed by outside thunder might be finest soothed by being provided a command to lie in a bed as well as stay put.”

This is normally what I finish with Ace, as well as when he is in a calm state, he is able to get affection as a reward for his calm behavior. While there are different methods to offer comfort to our dogs, the long-term goal oughtto be to figure out exactly how to get rid of the dog’s worry or assist him discover to offer keeping that fear.

How to strengthen suitable behaviors.

I always try to strengthen the behaviors I want from my dog, no matter what specify of mind he’s in. This is particularly essential when aggression is involved, no matter exactly how minor.

For example, my canine gets frightened when strangers method us in specific situations. He responds by barking, as well as this is a habits I typically don’t want to reinforce.

I can reassure my canine with affection all I want – “It’s OK. זה בסדר.” This may or may not impact my dog’s emotional state, however it’s not going to stop the unwanted barking. I understand him well, as well as while he may bark less, he’s still going to bark.

Ace will stop barking, however, if I calmly put him in a down/stay setting as well as ask him to focus on me – “watch.” His brain has to focus on something other than being frightened – obeying my commands. I choose not to utilize treats, however if treats draw out the habits I’m looking for, then so be it! All I care about in that moment is reinforcing the best behavior.

Dr. Patricia McConnell,  a licensed used animal behaviorist, composed a publish on her blog about exactly how you can’t strengthen fear through affection. one of her examples is when a fearful canine is barking at visitors. She composed that if the “strangers” toss treats at the dog, the treats would not “reward” the dog’s fear. Instead, the treats would really decrease the fear, which would ultimately assist the canine modification his habits (I like treats! Strangers bring treats! I like strangers!).

Do you see exactly how both these methods might assist a dog? everything depends upon the private dog, the distinct circumstance as well as the owner’s consistency.

Why you ought to block unsuitable behaviors.

Another element – regardless of whether or not we provide affection – is that a dog’s own actions can really make the canine feel much more fearful, according to McConnell in the comment section of the exact same post.

For example, if the canine is lunging as well as barking at a stranger, the lunging as well as barking as well as getting worked up might make the canine feel much more afraid. This is why it’s so essential to prevent, block or stop these kinds of behaviors. Then, instruct as well as strengthen “good” behaviors such as sitting quietly.

Emotions are contagious.

If I want my canine Ace to be calm, the very first thing I requirement to do is be calm myself.

If Ace is frightened of an approaching stranger, as well as I select to anxiously pet my canine while repeating “It’s OK! זה בסדר!” while we run away, what am I interacting to him? I’m telling him, “I’m scared, as well as you much better be frightened too!”

Isn’t this the ideal example of exactly how our affection can really make a canine much more fearful? I believe so, however I’ve like to hear what you think. At the extremely least, it’s not going to assist the canine feel any type of less afraid.

How else can canine owners assist their fearful dogs?

Don’t punish a fearful dog. Instead, distract the canine as well as then reward him for suitable behaviors.
Provide the canine with great deals of exercise. Dogs with less energy are typically going to be less reactive.
Build your dog’s obedience skills so he’ll have much more self-control as well as a higher capability to pay interest to you.

In going with a listing of all fears as well as anxieties, brown stated he can typically discover obedience behaviors that:

Bring structure as well as are calming.

Achieve focus on the owner as well as for that reason send focus away from the source of the stress.

Lend a sense of leadership which is needed when a canine is feeling nervous.

“For that reason, we always put a great deal of emphasis on advanced obedience with all of our clients,” he said.

What do the rest of you think? are there circumstances where affection can reward a dog’s fears?

How to assist a canine conquer a fear

San Diego canine Rescue group Sued After canine Bite

A canine rescue group in San Diego is being sued after a Labrador named Charlie bit a guy in the nose soon after his adoption took place, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. This occurred less than two months after the canine almost bit off a woman’s finger prior to adoption.

So we’re not speaking nips.

We’re speaking major bites.

From the San Diego Union-Tribune:

Ryan Hawblitzel almost lost his nose as well as has considerable scars from the Jan. 24 bite, according to his attorney, Rocky Copley. He stated the assault wouldn’t have occurred if Labradors as well as good friends canine Rescue had told Ryan’s household that Charlie had bitten one more person the month prior, as well as if the region had complied with appropriate protocols after that earlier incident.

“If Labradors as well as good friends had informed (Hawblitzel’s parents) about the prior attack, they would not have brought the canine into their home,” the suit says.

Hawblitzel is suing the county, Labradors as well as good friends canine rescue in addition to two volunteers from the group for an unspecified amount of damages. Copley stated Hawblitzel may requirement much more surgeries to recuperate from his injuries.

Full Union-Trib short article here.

(Charlie is not pictured.)

I wished to bring up the story right here since it’s a great pointer exactly how rescue groups, shelters, foster houses as well as other volunteers requirement to disclose whatever about canine bites as well as aggression to prospective adopters. ללא יוצאי דופן.

I don’t understand exactly how this specific situation will turn out legally, however I do understand typical sense states rescue groups ought to disclose all understood bite events to adopters.

I assist with canine adoptions myself, as well as I understand it’s simple to downplay or even disregard specific “nips” or bites as well as state it was the person’s fault or the nips occurred since of special circumstances.

A bite is a bite.

You can’t anticipate whatever however in this particular San Diego situation the canine had a record of biting as well as this was never explained to the adoptive family, at least according to this article.

This is aggravating on so numerous levels.
A guy was badly injured, the canine was (understandably) killed after the event as well as rescue groups in general look irresponsible since of this rescue group’s failure.

I volunteer with Labradors, Retrievers & More, a different lab rescue in San Diego that is commonly confused with Labradors as well as Friends.

So there are two things we can take away from this:

1. As rescue volunteers, we requirement to make sure we’re being responsible.

This story made me analyze my own history as a foster volunteer as well as I have to admit I have not always been as remove with adoptive households as I ought to have been.

Today I recognize all rescue volunteers have the obligation to be honest. If you are a volunteer, report all bites or behavioral problems to a board member. If the rescue you are working with isn’t truthful with adopters, then discover one more rescue to support.

2. Adopters requirement to understand what type of concerns to ask.

Adopting a canine is a fantastic method to get a pet. one of the very best methods to get a well-behaved, well-socialized canine is to discover an adult, fostered canine from a rescue group since typically the foster owner understands a great deal of info about the dog.

Still, when adopting any type of canine it’s essential to ask concerns such as:

[צ’ק ליסט]

Has this canine ever bitten anyone?

Has this canine ever nipped anyone? even on accident? (Like while playing tug)

Have you ever seen the canine growl at a person? exactly how about at one more dog?

Does he guard his food from people or dogs?

How long have you understood this dog?

Can you verify he’s never had any type of problems with aggression?

How does he react when he satisfies thrilled dogs on a leash?

How does he act around your kids?

[/צ’ק ליסט]

Rescues requirement to be honest.

Adopters requirement to ask questions.

It’s essential to get dogs adopted, however a canine adoption ought to never take concern over a person’s safety.

I’d like to get your thoughts on this topic.

Have you ever been in a circumstance where you believe a rescue group should have disclosed extra information?

Let me understand in the comments!

considering that composing for ThatMutt.com, I have come to know—and love—Mighty Paw, so I was ecstatic when Lindsay used me the possibility to evaluation one of their new products, a reflective collar with a metal buckle.

Mighty Paw metal Buckle Collar Review

My thoughts on the Mighty Paw metal buckle collar:

With collars, I’m always skeptical about their strength. I feel like plastic can get brittle as well as buckles can break.

This collar alleviates my worries since the buckle is metal. The actual system of exactly how it fastens is not one I’ve seen before, however it seems extremely strong when it’s clasped—in truth I had to look at the directions to figure out exactly how to undo the collar.

The leash attaches to a metal D-ring, so even if you have a heavy puller or your pet dog is connected out, the collar will hold. even if he may potentially want to chase the turkey vultures that have arrived on the barn!

The material of the collar itself is a thick canvas—similar to a leash. The canvas isn’t incredibly heavy, as well as a couple of times I twisted the collar as I put it on Bax.

Despite the strong material as well as the metal, the collar is not heavy.

Cost of the collar

The Mighty Paw metal buckle collar is $14.99 on its website HERE.

What’s special about the Mighty Paw metal buckle collar?

Obviously the metal buckle is unique. It’s fairly flat as well as not bulky, so it won’t interfere with any type of activities your pet dog may be doing. plus it provides me additional insurance coverage that my pet dog is secure.

I like that Mighty Paw includes two separate rings for identifies as well as the leash. I discover that this rotates the collar to ensure that the leash brings to the side as well as has less possibility of ending up in Bax’s armpit.

As well, the sound for the identifies is plastic as well as specially created to lessen jingling.

Pros of the metal buckle collar:

The metal buckle is a special fastener in my experience.

From the material to the buckle, this collar is strong as well as secure.

Mighty Paw’s special metal alloy blend indicates that the collar stays lightweight.

I like the additional assurance of the reflective stitching on the collar.

The collar is adjustable with a flat metal slide. (Bax is using a size medium on his 18-inch neck).

Cons:

It took me a minute to figure out exactly how to get the buckle undone. The tabs that you have to press to undo the buckle are quite little so if you have restricted dexterity, it might be difficult for you.

The material part of the collar is light sufficient that it may twist when you put it on your pet dog if you’re not paying attention.

I would suggest this collar for…

I happily suggest all of the Mighty Paw products I’ve tested. In the situation of this specific collar, I believe it’s a great alternate if you’re anxious about resilience of a lot more basic buckles.

The metal buckle collar would likewise be a great option if your pet dog is a heavy puller who exerts a great deal of force on collars.
