Dogs bite for reasons that can be traced back to instinct and pack mentality. Puppies bite and nip on other dogs and people as a means for exploring their environment and learning their place in the pack. Owners MUST teach their puppies that mouthing and biting are not acceptable. Beyond puppy behavior, the motivation to bite or snap typically comes from the following:

  • Fear or Defensiveness
  • Protection of Property
  • Pain or Sickness
  • Dominance Assertion
  • Predatory Instinct

Though some breeds are thought to be dangerous, I am not convinced that breed specific legislation is the answer. Owners and breeders are the ones who can help decrease the tendency for any type of dog to bite through proper training, socialization and breeding practices. If all else fails, try a remote dog training collar to correct your dog.

Pick a Fitness Routine for Your Dog

Friday, June 4, 2010 @ 09:06 AM

Fitness Magazine promises you won’t even notice how many calories you’re burning with these four ways to play with your dog.

Walking your dog regularly helps you rack up an average of 103 minutes per week a University of Western Australia study reveals. That’ amounts to about 618 extra calories burned.

Here are some exercises and the breeds that do best with them:

Frisbee: Herding breeds, such as collies, shepherds and sheepdogs are naturals at snachers.

Swimming: Labradors and golden retrievers, with their water-resistant coats, were bred to retrieve game birds for hunters.

Jogging: Medium to large breeds, such as Labradors and Dalmatians, love a good run. How long they last depends upon each dog’s fitness level.

Waling or Biking: Small breeds, such as beagles and high-energy dogs such as Jack Russell terriers are fine for several miles a well as short dogs.

If your dog gets overly excited and starts nuisance barking along the way, be sure to try one of our no-bark collars.

Moving With Pets? Here’s Some Advice!

Wednesday, April 7, 2010 @ 01:04 PM

Pets thrive on routine. How to maintain a routine after a move is the key to a successful transition for your pet.

1. Visit your current veterinarian. If you are moving out of the area, be sure to request your pet’s medical file  so that your new vet will know of any conditions your pet has been treated for and when they’ll be due for their next vaccinations. last until you visit your new vet.You might want to consider microchipping your pet. A microchip is a small transponder that is implanted just under the pet’s skin. The Humane Society says, “Microchips provide an extra level of protection in case your pet loses his collar and tags.”  

2. When you are beginning the actual process of moving boxes and transferring your belongings to your new residence, consider first preparing a pet friendly area in your current home, and then in your new home, that will be out of the way of the movers. Fill the room with the pet’s favorite toys and bedding, as well as their food, water, and if applicable, litter box.

3. If you are going to be living in a neighborhood with lots of dogs, especally ones next door, you might want to be prepared by purchasing a no-bark collar to nip any problems in the bud.

3. Once you have moved in, the best thing you can do is maintain your routine -  walking your pet, feeding times, etc.

Nothing Like a Deaf Dog

My husband and I got a Dalmatian not knowing that they are prone to hearing problems. Despite the clever cartoons and their unique appearance, Dalmatians can be quite a handful. But thanks to a Petsafe bark collar, we were able to quiet her down without having to use other techniques. Anyone who owns a dog can tell you that ending persistent barking can be quite a challenge, especially when the dog can’t hear.

We don’t have to worry now, though. Since getting the bark control collar, the barking has subsided without harming her health. Her overall happiness seems to have improved as well, no doubt a result of the extra attention she gets now that she’s not barking 24/7.

PetSafe Citrus Spray Bark CollarPetSafe Citrus Spray Bark Collar

The PetSafe Spray No Bark Collar uses an All Natural Citrus Spray to stop excessive barking. A dog may be man’s best friend, but continuous excessive barking can certainly test that friendship. In fact, many towns have disturbance laws against loud, prolonged noise, such as that created by barking dogs. Many owners have tried surgical remedies. Not only is this expensive, but it completely and permanently eliminates a dog’s natural ability to bark. The PetSafe Spray Bark Collar is an inexpensive, humane, but effective solution to excessive barking.

How does The PetSafe Spray Bark Control Collar Work?  It is simple to operate. Place the battery in the receiver collar and attach it around your dog’s neck. When your dog barks, a burst of all-natural citrus spray is emitted, which dogs find bothersome to their highly developed sense of smell. While not harmful, it is a sufficient deterrent to excessive barking. 

Dog Barking Problem

Friday, January 8, 2010 @ 09:01 AM

 One of the leading problems of dog owners all over the planet is when a pet dog is habitually a nuisance barker. To be able to tackle this problem, dog owners have to distinguish between ordinary barking and peculiar barking. It would take a list of IF-THEN analogy to distinguish between the two. The drill is when Spot barks up a storm, we would normally look for the source of the barking. IF we see a cat or a stray dog coming beyond the fence or a stranger passing by (mail carriers are known to get such a reaction.), THEN it is ordinary barking.

Here are some of the scenarios that would signify ordinary barking:

  • Your dog’s breed is from the terrier bloodline (they’re known to be barkers)
  • A group of rowdy children
  • A noisy garbage truck
  • A neighbor walking his dog or a dog “marking” part of your lawn
  • A cat
  • People visiting for the first time
  • Strangers

Most ordinary barking has to do with territory, possession or protection. Remember that your dog is using its barking as its way of canine communication to tell you something your dog thinks is important to you. Remember, a dog’s lineage sprung from wild dogs. To your dog, it is part of your pack and to be loyal to the pack a dog would communicate” what it feels is important to the pack (your and your family). 

Not all owner-pet relationship is perfect. Now if Spot does have a barking problem, there are means available to aid in letting your pet modify its behavior. No Bark collars are available to help you get the attention of your pet while going through training programs

PetSafe Bark Control Training SystemPetSafe Bark Control Training System

The PetSafe Bark Control Training System with a training Video features 6 levels of correction and is one of the smallest and lightest no bark collars available at only 1.5 oz. When your dog barks, a harmless static correction is emitted to correct the behavior. It is a sufficient deterrent to excessive barking. This collar is adjustable for neck sizes 6″-28″.
The PetSafe Bark Control Training System helps your dog learn the difference between good barking (for protection) and bad barking (due to boredom or over-excitement). The PetSafe Bark Control Training System picks up the vibrations from your dog’s vocal chords as he barks. The vibrations cause the no bark collar to send an electronic signal (a static shock) to your dog. Your dog will quickly learn that barking causes the signals, and that not barking is the way to avoid the signals.
