  Indoor Dog Games To Help Your Pup Run Off His Energy 1. Tug of war Not only is playing tug a great source of exercise, but this game also helps  reinforce the bond between you and your pet , according to The Spruce. Ropes like this one are durable, so they'll last for many games and satisfy even the most aggressive chewers. 2. Agility Course Building an  indoor agility course for your dog  can be quick and simple. Animal Wellness Magazine has ideas for how to set up tunnels, hurdles, and more using only household objects. 3. Treasure Hunt The AKC notes that dogs have 45 times more scent receptors than humans, which means  games that take advantage of their sense of smell  will be particularly engaging. One idea is to hide treats under objects like boxes or containers, and give lots of praise when your pup uncovers each one.   4. Bubbletastic Dog Bubbles Dogs loves bubbles and will get plenty of exercise chasing them around. Better yet, these bubbles are bacon-scented to ensure yo

Ideally, puppies are socialized early in life by being exposed to as many new experiences as possible before they reach twelve weeks of age. Sometimes, however, you're faced with the task of socializing an older dog. Perhaps you've adopted an older dog that was never properly socialized, or circumstances beyond your control prevented you from being able to properly socialize your young pup. Maybe your adult dog simply needs a refresher course after being away too long from other people and/or pets. Whatever the reason, socializing adult dogs is quite a bit different from socializing puppies. What is Dog Socialization Dog socialization is the practice of acclimating your dog to other people and pets to help him better behave in these types of situations. In this process your dog will spend time with new groups of people (including children) or other pets and getting him more and more comfortable being in these types of situations. Spending time immersed in situations that cou Si

  In certain breeds of dog, there is a coat pattern known as ‘merle’. It is sometimes referred to as a color, but is in fact due to a gene that alters the way pigment appears in the dog’s coat. The merle coat pattern is popular because it is unusual and very unique, with each merle dog having a different coat pattern. Unfortunately, there are health problems associated with the merle mutation and the risk of these problems occurring increases when two merle coated dogs are mated together. The resulting litter of puppies has a high chance of containing ‘double merles’ or ‘lethal whites’, dogs that have very little or no colour to their coat at all. Double merles are highly likely to suffer from eye or ear deformities (in some cases both), which at the most extreme can result in complete blindness and deafness. Needless to say, the deliberate breeding of double merles causes a lot of controversy in the canine world — certain official bodies (such as the Kennel Club in the UK) have clampe

  Reproductive Season, Heat, Oestrus, And Pregnancy Tests Puberty or sexual maturity in the female dog usually occurs around six months of age. The smaller breeds tend to go into oestrus or "heat" earlier and some females can have their first "heat" cycle as early as four months of age. On the other hand, the large and giant breeds can be up to two years old before they come into heat for the first time. How Often Do Female Dogs Come Into Heat? On average this occurs about twice a year or every six months, although it varies from dog to dog. When cycling first begins, there may be a great deal of variability in the time between cycles. This is normal. Some females take eighteen months to two years to develop a regular cycle. There is no evidence that irregular  heat cycles  predispose the dog to false pregnancies or pyometra (uterine infection). Small breeds tend to cycle more regularly than the larger breeds. Three and occasionally four heat cycles per year can be

  Pet Digestive Issues & Care How To Stop Diarrhea In DogsDiarrhea has many causes and even many   versions . What’s behind your dog’s diarrhea will mean a lot when it comes to the severity and duration, so if you can find a cause, do it! Otherwise, take these comforting steps to get your best friend on the mend. 1. Provide Water at all Times One of the real dangers of diarrhea is dehydration. Without diarrhea, your dog can easily regulate what fluids go in with what comes out, but with diarrhea what comes out can quickly get ahead of what’s going in. Encourage your dog to drink as much as possible by providing fresh, clean water at all times. If they need a little more of an incentive to drink, you can add a bit of  low sodium chicken broth  to their water bowl. 2. Withhold Food When a dog has diarrhea, it means that something in their digestive system is out of whack. Rather than feeding their problem with regular meals, instead, give their gut a break by withholding food for 12-

  1. Label dogs as stubborn, hyperactive, out of control or stupid and then punish them for it Teach your dog appropriate behaviors instead of punishing him. Photography ©anitapeeples.com | Getty Images. This is one of the worst things a dog guardian can do. Dogs who are labeled bad dogs or have so-called bad behaviors are usually dogs who haven’t had the time put in with training and exercise. If a dog exhibits unwanted behaviors (not bad behaviors), it’s because they haven’t been taught what it is that you do want. When dogs express unwanted behaviors like  jumping on people  or furniture, mouthing you,  barking ,  pulling on the leash , etc., they are expressing some kind of anxiety or frustration. What can you do?  Take the time to teach the wanted behaviors along with  exercise , which will go a long way to setting a solid foundation of trust and mutual respect. 2.  Tether a dog People tie their dogs up to a post in a public area when going to the store, coffee shop or even a park
