Hi Dog-Secrets,

Here is your next dog food recipe, compliments of
doginfosecrets.com :

Ellie’s Dog Loaf

2 1/8 cups water
2 cups brown rice
2 large potatoes
2 large carrots
1 1/8 pounds pumpkin
2 cloves garlic
3/4 bunch silver beet
1 cup whole meal pasta — or Soya pasta
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup whole meal flour
1 1/8 pounds mince (or liver or fish)
3 eggs

Boil the rice in water for 10 - 15 minutes and chop the veggies (I
put them through the food processor) Add the veggies and pasta to
the rice and cook for 10 minutes.

Turn off the heat and leave to
cool (not vital if you’re like me and in a rush!) Add mince, eggs,
herbs, rolled oats and flour and mix together. Add more oats or
flour if mixture is sticky (should be like a fruit cake mix).

Spoon into oiled and floured loaf tins and bake in a hot oven 180
degrees CENTIGRADE for 1 hour.

Remove from tins ,turn oven off and return loaves to oven for 5 -
10 minutes to firm bottom crust.

Take out of oven, leave to cool and use immediately or wrap in foil
and freeze.

Makes about 3 - 4 loaves.

Thanks,
Mike Gates

Hey Dog-Secrets,

Here’s Today’s Joke: Why do dogs wag their tails?
Because no one else will do it for them.

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

Reward training your dog

Reward training is quite possibly one of the oldest methods of
training dogs, dating back to the days when people started trying
to domesticate wild animals.

It is probably the method of dog training that most of us are
familiar with, and it is a natural instinct to reward the dog when
they perform the task that we have asked of them.

Some people prefer to use a combination of the reward training
methods and the leash and collar training to get the best out of
their dog in the least time.

Some dogs respond better to reward training than leash and collar
training so your decision might depend on what method you see
working the best with your dog.

More Information:
doginfozone.com/likes/train

Reward training for dogs, has seen a remarkable increase in
popularity over recent years with many people finding this as their
preferred method of training their new puppies.

There is no definitive answer as to what the best type of dog
training is, as some dogs respond better to one technique than
others.

There are certainly some advanced techniques that are taught in the
top dog training manuals that will ensure you train your dog,
faster and easier than trying to do so on your own.

Most dogs will respond to some extent, to either method of
training, and any training is certainly better than none, even if
you only teach your dog the most basic commands.

Reward training is even used for dogs that work in the military and
police.

Those dogs that are used for scent detection and tracking are also
often trained using some form of reward training.

Generally, reward training is in the form of some type of food
reward.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jumping on People

No matter how much we might enjoy our pet jumping up to greet us,
there are many people who dislike having a strange dog coming up
and jumping on them.

For many people it can be a frightening experience as not everyone
is a dog lover.

Besides that, many people just don’t want dirty paw marks over
their clothing.

It can also create major problems if a large dog were to jump up on
a child or an elderly person.

More Information:
doginfozone.com/likes/train

Dogs will generally jump up on people because they are overly
excited and pleased to see them - even if that person is a stranger.

Many people inadvertently encourage this behavior by rewarding the
dog with attention after the dog has jumped up on them.

The dog then seeks similar reward from other people whether they
like it or not.

This is detrimental to the proper training of the dog and all
members of the family must realize that they’re doing more harm
than good by encouraging their dog to jump up on people.

Consistency is important in all forms of dog training, where
members of the dog’s family will need to exercise discipline and
accept that training will be all the more difficult if the dog is
allowed to continue with this behavior.

Failure to do so will lead to confusion with the pet not knowing
what is right or wrong.

An alternative to having your dog jump up on you and other people
is to teach it to sit and lift it’s paw when greeting you for a
handshake or similar tricks where the dog will be rewarded with
attention.

Training your dog to not pull on the leash

One of the most common problems people have with their dogs is
pulling on the leash.

There are many reasons why this can occur, and quite often it is
nothing more than excitement on the dogs part.

If this is the case, allowing the dog a few minutes to simmer down
before taking it on his/her walk can often stop it.

More Information:
doginfozone.com/likes/train

Once again, the dogs pack mentality can come to play with the dog
assuming leadership over its owner as the leader of the pack.

This comes back to the basics of dog training where the dog must be
aware of who the master is.

Failure to get this basic dog training technique under control can
lead to all sorts of problems, particularly if the dog gets off the
leash.

In the presence of other dogs, and sometimes young children this
problem becomes pronounced.

One of the basics of dog training is for the owner to establish him
or herself as the leader of the pack otherwise no training can be
effective.

Once this is been established you can start the process of getting
your dog to walk calmly beside you with or without a leash.

And that process can only start if you are able to get your dog to
sit calmly while you put the leash around its neck.

That is the very first step of training your dog to walk without
pulling in its leash.

Once you succeed in that task, you can move on to the next step
where you can get your dog to walk beside you without a leash and
be assured that he/she won’t run away.

And from there you will not be one of those people where the dog is
taking them for a walk.

noodles in with meat and vegetable mixture when ready to serve.
Italian and Chinese noodles will both work.

Try to substitute mackerel (a fish) for meat in some meals. I
usually buy the canned stuff which has little bones in it. They can
eat these bones. A little of the canned stuff goes a long way
though–it has a lot of salt!

Thanks,
Mike Gates

Hey Dog-Secrets,

Dog Quote: If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous,
he will not bite you.
This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
…..Mark Twain

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

Preventing Unwanted Urination.

There are a number of reasons why dogs have problems with
inappropriate urination and in some cases defecation.

Unfortunately most dog owners don’t understand why this happens and
are unsure what to do.

It can even happen to dogs that have been trained and housebroken.
Many dog owners who are unable to address the problem simply take
their dog to the pound as they assume there is no alternative to
the problem that they are unable to solve.

Unwanted urination is a very common problem that many dog owners
face and is more common than most people would assume.

You will need to eliminate any medical reasons first, as there
could be bladder infections that are causing the urination, but
aside from that there are other reasons why dogs will urinate.

One of the most common reasons for a dog to lose control of it’s
bladder is from excitement and you will generally see this happen a
lot more with puppies.

With puppies this is a lack of bladder control that will generally
stop, as they get older.

Puppies are often unaware that they are urinating when they get
excited and to reprimand them for doing this will cause confusion.

To get angry with your dog for excitement urination can lead to
other problems where the dog will begin to urinate from
submissiveness rather than excitement thereby creating another
problem that will need to be addressed.

With excitement urination the best cure is prevention and that is
achieved by not allowing your dog to get overly excited.

And the best way to stop your dog getting over excited in certain
circumstances is to expose him/her to those situations more often
until they no longer get excited to the extent that they urinate.

Puppies will eventually grow out of excitement urination as they
develop better bladder control.

Submissive urination is something that is common in the wild, where
dogs, being pack animals, show their submissiveness to the leader
of the pack by lowering themselves and urinating.

Where a dog is showing signs of submissive urination this is
effectively a sign of insecurity and is very often associated with
dogs that have been abused.

It can be difficult to correct submissive urination and quite often
the best method is to ignore what is happening and focus on
developing a better relationship with your pet and help to build
it’s self confidence.

Hi Dog-Secrets,
Here is your eighth dog food recipe, compliments of

Potatoes Au Canine

3 cups boiled potatoes — sliced
2 tablespoons vegetables — grated
1/2 cup Creamed cottage cheese
1 tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
2 tablespoons Grated carrots
1/4 cup Whole milk

Layer in a casserole dish the first 5 ingredients. Then pour the
milk on top of all; sprinkle with cheese. Bake about 15 minutes at
