Hey Dog-Secrets,

Dog Quote: They are better than human beings, because they know but
do not tell.
…..Emily Dickenson

*********************************

Separation Anxiety

Many people are unaware that separation anxiety even exists with
their dog.

There are many different traits that can be seen in a dog due to
separation anxiety.

When we leave home for work each day, most people are unaware of
what their dog is experiencing, and for many of them it is
separation anxiety.

We assume that because the dog appears to be happy when we arrive
home at the end of the day, that it has been happy all day long.

In many instances, the dog could have had quite a traumatic day.

More Information:
doginfozone.com/likes/train

Many dogs are concerned that when their owner leaves, they might
not be coming back.

They have no way of knowing that we will be back in eight or nine
hours.

The stress that this causes for a dog can lead to destructive
behavior where they will chew everything in sight.

Other dogs might express their stress by soiling the house.

Either way, if you come home from work and find that your
well-trained dog has done something out of the ordinary you need to
consider whether it has had a stressful day or not, and certainly
not reprimand it until you know what the circumstances have been.

If you sense your dog has been stressed during the day, you might
like to consider giving it more toys to stop it from becoming
bored, or better still, have somebody call in and visit at some
stage throughout the day so it knows that it is not alone.

Exercising your dog in the morning before you leave is a good idea
because it is more likely to sleep during the day.

Another method to reassure your dog that you will be coming back
when you leave, is to do several smaller trips in the course of a
few days or weeks, where the dog becomes more and more accustomed
to you leaving and returning at different intervals.

By slowly extending these hours of separation, your dog will become
accustomed to it, thereby eliminating separation anxiety.

SitStayFetch Newsletter Series:

Hi Mike

Welcome to our weekly newsletter series. This week Abril says…

“Hi Daniel, I would like to thank you for making my life easier.
Since I purchased your book Sugar and I have become so close, I can
take her out on walks in front of people, she would always become
too hyper by other people that she was intolerable. She now is a
well trained companion that I can take everywhere…”

And we hear from Kellie who has a question that starts like this…

“I have a very alpha border terrier and a non-alpha pug. My alpha
border continually challenges me but remains submissive to me - yet
he’s always there pushing the button. I’ll explain as we go. I am a
foster home for strays and rescues from the shelters. I foster
until the dogs are adopted and this turnover is about every 2
weeks. Most rescues I place are small dogs and most come with
issues…”

Hi Dog-Secrets,
Here is your next dog food recipe, compliments of
doginfosecrets.com :

Chicken Flavored Dog Biscuits

2 1/2 teaspoons dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
1 teaspoon salt — optional
1 egg
1 cup chicken broth — slightly warmed
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup rye flour — optional
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 cup cracked wheat
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add salt, one beaten
egg, and the warmed chicken broth. Add all flour except the
all-purpose flour and mix well. Slowly add all-purpose flour until
a stiff dough is formed and it can be kneaded by hand.

Knead for only a couple minutes, just enough to get the dough to
hold together. Roll out dough about 1/4″ thick and cut with cookie
cutters, Place biscuits on a large cookie tray and place directly
in a 300 degree oven, they don’t need to rise. Bake for 45 min. and
then turn off the oven.

You can let them sit in the oven overnight and in the morning they
will be real hard and good for your dog’s teeth. You could also
vary this recipe by adding milk for a milk-bone type biscuit or
shortening for a little extra fat.

Try different liquids and even honey or molasses, Check with your
veterinarian for any other nutritional suggestions.

Thanks,
Mike Gates

Hey Dog-Secrets,

Dog Quote: The other day I saw two dogs walk over to a parking
meter. One of them says to the other, “How do you like that? Pay
toilets!”
…..Dave Starr

*********************************

Stopping your dog from chewing everything in sight.

It is only natural for dogs to want to chew.

It is a natural instinct, but they need to be trained what they can
and can’t chew without causing problems.

While they might feel the need to sharpen their teeth you certainly
don’t want them to be doing that on your furniture.

It is a lot cheaper to invest some money in suitable toys that the
dog can chew or get their teeth cleaned professionally than to
replace expensive household items.

More Information:
doginfozone.com/likes/train

The simplest method of training a dog not to chew everything in
sight is to confine it to a small area where only those things that
it should be allowed to chew are present.

The dog will then become accustomed to the smell of those things
that it is allowed to chew and then when it is allowed out into the
household where other items are present you can teach it not to
chew items such as furniture, shoes, clothing, etc.

It is also possible to teach an old dog not to chew items by using
the same techniques although it is harder if it has been doing this
for many years of its life.

It is always preferable to teach your dog the lessons they need to
know as soon as possible as training gets harder with the age of
the dog.

If the dog is going to be left inside for extended periods while
you’re not around it is wise to remove any items that you don’t
want it to chew until it is fully trained.

Until that time, the dog should be content with suitable chewing
toys.

SitStayFetch Newsletter Series:

Hi Mike

Welcome to our weekly newsletter series. This week Sabine and
Quincy say…

“Through continous practice Quincy now heels wherever I go, keeping
a constant eye on me. Teaching her the sit and especially the down
was very important to keep her with a submissive attitude. She
fought it for a while but I consistantly showed her that there are
no options when I give her a command…”

And we have a question from Chris, which starts as follows…

“I volunteer at our local animal shelter for our Humane Society
every Saturday and whenever else I can. Well, I had a Golden for 11
years, she had to be put down June of 2004….VERY sad day for our
family. I started volunteering in August that year and in
October found this poor, scared, but beautiful flat-coat retriever
at the shelter. It was very obvious she had been mistreated, was
pregnant when she was turned in and the shelter decided to spay her
so she never had the litter (She was 1 1/2 years old at the
time)…”

Hey Dog-Secrets,

Dog Quote: A dog is the only thing on this earth that loves you
more than he loves himself.
…..Josh Billings

*********************************

The Command to Come when Called.

One of the most basic and important commands that you will need to
teach your dog is to come when called.

No matter what else happens, if you have taught your dog this
command you will always be able to maintain control whether at home
or in public.

Should your dog ever get off it’s leash or escape from your
property you will know that when you call it that it will come back
and this certainly makes life a lot easier for the dog owner.

More Information:
doginfozone.com/likes/train

For working dogs, this is a vital skill as a handler needs to know
that at any time they can get the dog back beside them and ready
for their next command.

When you are comfortable that your dog knows the commands of ’stay’
and ‘come’ you no longer have to be as concerned that it needs to
be kept on a leash at all times.

This allows both the owner and the dog to have a lot more freedom.

Generally, this command of ‘come’ is incorporated when teaching the
dog to stay, as these two lessons work hand-in-hand with one another.

The dog is first taught to stay and then the owner will teach the
dog to come, while still on an extended leash.

After gaining success in getting the dog to come, while still on a
leash, the owner can then teach it to do so without the leash.

Obviously for an untrained animal this would be better taught in an
enclosed area until the dog has learned to respond to that command.

SitStayFetch Newsletter Series:

Hi Mike

Welcome to our weekly newsletter series. This week we hear from Dee
and Nickey as well as answer a consultation query from Carole and
sadie. Carol writes…

“Six weeks ago I adopted a 9 month old Beagle named Sadie. We have
bonded well and she is doing very well, except for one thing…….
can a dog become obsessed with a ball? She loves to play fetch!
Which is fine for about 15 minutes or so at a time, but that’s all
she wants to do (except for our walks together).

There are times that I simply cannot play ball with her and she
becomes VERY annoying and insistent. She has an interesting variety
of dog toys, but won’t play with anything but this one particular
ball. Do you have any suggestions?”

Hey Dog-Secrets,

Here’s Today’s Joke: Why did the Dachshund bite the woman’s ankle?
Because he couldn’t reach any higher.

*********************************

No owner likes to get a call from the pound telling them that their
dog has been picked up for roaming the streets, but even the best
trained dog can escape and end up in places where it shouldn’t be.

In many towns you can find yourself in legal trouble if your dog is
found to be wandering the streets.

And quite rightly so as a dog on the loose can do quite a lot of
damage to other people’s property, pets, children and elderly folk.

More Information:
doginfozone.com/likes/train

Dogs that generally try to escape from their property are usually
those that have not been trained or are bored.

Boredom is most often the case, and giving your dog suitable
stimulation to ensure that he/she remains contented on the property
can prevent this.

This can be as simple as leaving toys for your dog to play with,
fresh water and a suitable place to sleep, shelter from the
weather, and anything else that the dog might need while you aren’t
in attendance.

Obviously a big fence and a locked gate will go a long way to deter
your dog from escaping.

Consider the alternative of trying to catch your dog once it has
escaped, and the damage that can be done, should it run out in
front of a cyclist or a car.

Prevention is always best.

Giving your dog regular exercise will also reduce the likelihood of
it wanting to escape.

Even the fact that the dog knows it will be getting exercise when
you arrive home will eliminate much of the possibility of having it
escape during the time when you’re away.

If your dog gets this exercise before you go out you are less
likely to have problems because it is more likely to sleep after
having exercised.
