How to Reward a Dog
The difference between a bribe and a reward is important. A bribe is when you offer your dog something so that he will do what you want, whereas a reward is something you give him only after doing what you want.
Offering your dog a snack so that he will get out of the garden is a bribe which if there are no options or you are pressed for time can be acceptable.
With the reward nothing is offered until after the correct action happens. When you reward your dog it helps to ensure that he will repeat the behavior. For example: you call your dog to come to you and he comes, so you reward him and let him go to play once more. By rewarding him in this way he is more likely to come the next time you call him. He is receiving two rewards here, the snack for obeying and then being allowed to go back and play more. Obviously this is more desirable and fun for the dog; than being bribed to come, then put on a leash and stuck in the car to go home.
Rewards that one dog finds motivating, another dog may find boring—or even unpleasant. Teaching when your dog feels motivated is easier on both you and the dog.
Learning spread over time is the most stable learning, and we’re all more likely to fit training into our schedules if it’s enjoyable. If you are ready to show your dog the proper response when a real-life situation comes along, that is often the best learning of all. Part of being ready is having ways to reward the dog.
Developing rewards that motivate your dog to learn can be considered the most important part of training. A dog starts forming beliefs about you, about humans in general, about situations, and about doing things with you from the very first experiences. It is extremely important to make a dog’s experiences positive, so the dog will always be willing to try again. We all get it wrong sometimes, but if we can keep that willingness to try again, we’ll have another chance to get it right.
Eye Contact
Some jobs dogs perform would be compromised if the dog kept eye contact with the handler. The handler may wish to teach the dog an eye contact cue for situations of close control, but would not want to make eye contact the “default” or “check in” mode that people often want with sport dogs and companion dogs. Typically a professional trainer or instructor conducts these types of training, using tried-and-true methods for the particular work. If you are in doubt as to whether eye contact training would be a problem for work you plan to have your dog do, check with the training organization before teaching it.
For most of us, teaching the dog to give eye contact on cue means you will be able to instantly get the dog’s attention no matter what is happening. This allows you to teach your dog anything with minimal leash pressure. Many dogs’ lives have been saved by this approach.
Eye contact training works beautifully with rewards. Don’t show the reward in advance. Keep it out of sight. With the dog either on loose leash (hanging down, not taut between you and the dog) or off-leash in a safe, confined area such as your house or yard, say the dog’s name and move quickly away. You can start this little exercise as early as puppies can eat and walk, or at any other time in a dog’s life. It’s not difficult to teach.
You might have to make sure the pup or dog knows you have a treat the first few times, but after that, keep it out of sight. This is important because of the way dogs experience the world. If the treat is NOT in sight some time, and the dog is used to seeing it, the situation is different enough to thoroughly confuse many dogs. They appear to think it’s not the same cue because the food is not there. This is probably the same phenomenon that causes a dog to not recognize a cue when you have only done it in one location. When you start to vary the location, it takes a dog some experience to understand that the cue is still the same, no matter where you do it.
You want the dog to still do as you ask, even when you don’t HAVE a treat. So it’s important to teach this with the treat not in sight.
The sequence is to say the dog’s name, give a word for what direction you want the dog to move if there is a specific one (such as “heel” or “come”), step AWAY from the dog quickly, PRAISE the dog for moving with you, and—aligning the reward between your eyes and the dog’s eyes so that the dog is making eye contact with you when receiving the reward--give the reward.
Each time you do this sequence; repeat it three to five times, never just once. When you do a reward sequence only once, the dog will learn to take the reward and then instantly turn attention away from you. The purpose of eye contact is to have a dog sustain attention on you until you release the attention. That way you can use eye contact to walk your dog past a distraction, such as a dog your dog fears, and hold your dog’s attention the entire time.
The eye contact exercise done this way (there are lots of variations) calls for a reward you can deliver with precise timing as well as with the dog’s eyes on your face. This can help you learn more about effective use of food. Many of the people who object to the use of food in training don’t actually know how to do it. There is a great deal of skill involved. The eye contact exercise can get you started.
For a dog you don’t know well, food is a logical reward, since all dogs eat. Some dogs don’t get turned on by food, and sometimes you have a reason for not wanting to use food. Once you’ve built up the value of a specific toy in your dog’s opinion—by having fun together with that toy—you can use a toy for eye contact reward.
Food used in eye contact training needs to be tiny treats that will not interrupt the flow of the work. Besides, we want healthy dogs, and the wrong treats or overfeeding can cause illness. The best option is the dog’s regular dog food, or some other food that comes in tiny pieces and can be your dog’s regular treat food. Dogs don’t need incredible treats for training, since the training itself is fun—or should be. The treats just help them understand what you want, and feel a sense of satisfaction for earning rewards.
It is not necessary to get your dog extra hungry for treat training. In fact, dogs who get overeager for treats may do better if fed shortly before training. It helps some dogs if you feed three or four small meals a day, instead of the normal two, so that they always have room for some treats. This also makes it easy to nip and tuck the meal amounts throughout the day to adjust for the treats, and wind up with the right total amount to keep your dog healthy. Dogs pay much more attention to how often they get to eat than to the quantity of food they eat.
The eye contact exercise with movement seems to activate a “hunting” instinct in dogs, which can make them interested in food when they might otherwise turn up their noses. Doing the exercise, they seem to “work up” an appetite.
To use a toy for the reward, align it with your face as you do with the treat, and give or toss it to the dog’s mouth. Make it a game of catch. This is much easier to do briskly and with good control if you attach a light rope to the toy.
Your dog can’t catch, you say? Do you recall how you learned to catch? Someone went outside with you and you tossed a ball back and forth, right? You learned how to watch the ball and coordinate your eye and hands to catch it. This is a physical skill your brain needs practice to develop in your body.
It’s just the same with dogs. If your dog doesn’t know how to catch, you have fun times ahead teaching it. That’s one way you build up a reward system for a dog. Start with retrieving [See Retrieving in Play] to make the object itself exciting for the dog, and to teach the dog to give things back without a struggle.
When you use a toy instead of treats for the eye contact reward, stick to the same three to five repetitions, and “recharge” the toy’s value to your dog frequently by giving the dog a break to fetch and/or chew it.
Putting the praise ahead of the reward in this exercise as well as any other time you reward your dog endows the praise with positive meaning to the dog. “She praised me. That means good things! Maybe I’ll get a reward! Or maybe next time? Praise is good; I’m definitely on the right track with what I’m doing here!” might be how a dog would think who has been conditioned to praise. That is, if dogs thought in terms of words. More likely what a dog would experience is that praise equals approval and possible payoff.
You could condition a dog that praise meant payoff EVERY time, but there is a problem with doing that. A dog who expects a reward every single time will stop trying for a reward rather quickly when no reward comes for several repetitions of doing that behavior on cue. Dogs are very adaptable, and to a dog with this experience, it appears that the rules have changed and the behavior no longer pays off.
A dog who has been conditioned that the repetition of doing the behavior on cue which will bring a reward is unpredictable will persist in trying for the reward. Thus the dog will keep working much longer when there are no rewards. You just have to keep giving reward often enough to make it worth the dog’s effort to try for it. This is how humans get addicted on gambling: they get rewarded now and then, at unpredictable intervals. So they keep risking their money.
You can praise a dog with your body language and even with just your eyes. Any movement that you associate with things the dog likes will become like the verbal praise: associated with good things. It’s good to have these other ways of praising your dog because there are times you want to praise without sound. And there are times you need to praise when a dog cannot hear, such as when an older dog goes deaf.
If you want your dog to automatically “check in” frequently with eye contact whenever you are together, then acknowledge that eye contact each time you notice the dog doing it. “Eye praise” comes in handy. Blinking both eyes like a cat is an easy one that dogs quickly learn. Or praise with your body language or voice. And sometimes give a treat or game or other reward the dog likes. Make it always worthwhile for the dog to look at you, and it will become a habit. Keep the leash loose, too. A loose leash is important for other reasons, too, but in the case of eye contact it means the dog can’t feel you through leash tension, so needs to check in with eyes.
Building Bridges
Some things you can use as rewards are not as conveniently given to a dog at the exact right moment as treats. In order to communicate with the dog that a particular behavior is the one you want, often it is necessary to have a way to say “That! Right there! Yes! That’s IT!”
If you have taught the Eye Contact exercise and habitually used verbal praise right before giving the reward, voila, you now have your way to say “That’s it!” The same holds true for eye or body language gestures you’ve associated with good things, turning them into praise signals. You can teach a more mechanical marker if you wish, such as a clicker.
So when your dog does something you like—whether or not you first asked the dog to do it—you will get more of that behavior in the future by rewarding for it. But perhaps you don’t have a reward in reach or the nature of the behavior is such that a reward can’t be delivered quickly. The connection has to be made in the dog’s mind between the EXACT action and the reward, or else you could accidentally teach your dog something entirely different.
When your dog does that great thing and you say “Good boy!” or whatever you want to use for praise in a pleased tone of voice, then if you are also going to give a reward, you may want to add words for that reward. Walking to the kitchen with your dog while talking about the food reward you’re about to give will make the whole thing just that much more fun for the dog. Talking about the coming reward is even more helpful if it’s going to be a walk or something else that takes more time to prepare. That way the dog can connect the action and the reward.
Whenever possible, put the reward for a task into the task itself. You don’t want your dog to experience that training is simply to be endured so we can have something nice. Then, whoopee! Meanwhile, sigh, this is so boring. No! You want your dog to love learning! So find as many opportunities as possible to put the reward into the task. Sometimes just stop a task halfway, give a treat, and then either go back to it or end it for the day. Keep the dog guessing a little as to just when something extra nice will happen.
Petting
People tend to thump dogs on the top of the head and call it petting. Some hail and hearty dogs may like this type of touch, but many just put up with it because they want human attention. Try petting your dog in other ways to see what your dog likes best and to develop your own touch communication and rewards.
Lots of dogs enjoy gentle scratching behind the ear, neck massages, and touches to the chest. Some enjoy gentle strokes under the chin and many enjoy being softly stroked with your hand approaching from the side of the dog’s face to the cheek area. Avoid putting a hand over an unfamiliar dog’s face for petting, because that keeps the dog from seeing your facial expressions and many dogs find it threatening.
If you develop a sophisticated ability to communicate by touch with dogs, and if you keep your dog conditioned to your touch with daily contact, touch can play a huge role in training and reward. Do not assume, though, that a dog new to you will enjoy touch as a reward. The instinctive response to touch is defensive. A positive response to touch is learned. All the time you put into developing your dog’s positive response to touch has tremendous benefits for just about every part of your life with your dog, so you will want to do this. [Read Touch and How It Affects Your Dog]
Some dogs also consider a “kiss” or chance to lick your face to be rewarding. Allowing the dog to do it at times doesn’t mean you have to allow it all the time. When you don’t want the dog to lick you, just gently but firmly hold the dog’s head back. Say “No licking” or something of the sort. You can teach a word cue for when you are giving permission to lick, so the dog knows which is which.
Retrieving
Retrieving is an example of a trained behavior that becomes a reward. Retrieving seems to express a deep instinct in a dog’s mind and give special satisfaction when the dog expresses it. Dogs really come together as working or companion dogs simply from learning to retrieve.
Perhaps it’s not that “simple,” since the act of retrieving has multiple parts. The dog either spots the object to be fetched or learns to believe you when you say it’s there. The dog runs out to it, possibly taking direction from you. The dog picks it up and carries it back to you, waits for you to be ready to securely grasp it so it won’t be dropped, and then releases it to your hand. This is a magnificent task for a dog to perform for a person when you look at it closely. What amazing creatures dogs are. We truly do not fully understand all the great things inside them.
Retrieving is best taught over a substantial period of time so that it will be a stable behavior that the dog can enjoy instead of feeling stress from it. Start when you get your puppy or dog, and do a little every day, always stopping when your dog still wants more. There are many different methods for teaching the retrieve. Make sure you have a clear picture of exactly what a retrieve is, and find a method that suits both you and particularly your dog. If the dog will be a working dog, the working retrieve will be professionally trained, so check with the training organization to make sure any retrieving in play you teach your dog will not interfere with the formal program later.
Retrieving is used in many different ways to reward behaviors. It makes the toy more rewarding to the dog in eye contact work. It helps teach dogs to come to you when you call because they want to give you the toy and have you throw it again. It channels critter-chasing drives into an acceptable outlet. You can call the dog from chasing the critter that is probably going to get away to the ball that is a sure thing!
Around the house, you can use retrieving in an especially convenient way for reward if there are some retrieving objects safe to leave in the dog’s reach. When the dog does something you want to reward, you can say “Good boy! Get your ball!” and then reward the dog with three to five fetches of the ball.
Good Times
Just before you plan to take your dog for a walk, a ride in the car, or give a meal are all good times to get in a little training. If the dog knows the good time is coming, the dog may eagerly work to satisfy you with the training to get on to the fun. Use your praise at the right moment so the dog will know exactly what you wanted. If the dog doesn’t know in advance that you’re going together for a walk or a ride in the car, a surprise reward also has special powers.
These exciting times are good for helping your dog learn composure. One example is having your dog sit and quietly let you put the collar on and walk politely with you out the door. At any point the dog becomes wild, stop the progress toward the fun event and wait for the dog to regain composure. Give a soft cue word if the dog seems to be too excited to remember what you want! And then just wait. If you take one step forward and the dog goes nuts, stop and wait again. In this case, each step from you can be the reward the dog is working for at that particular moment!
Some dogs just love to run, and people often make the mistake of playing games of chasing the dog. This gets a lot of dogs hit by cars. Instead of chasing your dog, let your dog chase you (but not grab or jump on you), or the two of you race toward a goal. You can build speed on the retrieve by tossing the object and then racing your dog to it.
If the situation is such that you can make noise without disturbing neighbors (such as inside your detached house with the windows shut!), you might use a howling session as a reward. Dogs seem to view howling as a social occasion, with different meaning than barking. Howling together can be exhilarating.
If you have one, two or three dogs, you may also be able to do a reward of tossing a few dozen tiny pieces of dry dog food at once onto the kitchen floor and letting the dogs get them. A smooth floor like most kitchen floors lets the dogs get the tiny treats without licking up and swallowing fibers from the carpet or potentially harmful substances from the ground outdoors. Don’t do this, though, if your dogs might fight over the pieces! In such a case, give treats from your hand, having the dogs take turns and saying the name of the dog as you give each treat. Don’t toss these treats to the dogs, because a dog could miss and wind up fighting another dog over it. Give each treat directly from your hand. Even for dogs who do get along well, large treats on the floor are too risky. Only try the floor jackpot with tiny treats and highly compatible dogs.
It’s good to learn how to give your dogs treats at the same time, so that when one dog does something good, the others all get rewards, too. This helps them develop an attitude of wanting to see the other dog get it right. When you keep dogs together in a group, you do not want intense competition between them. Another word for that is “fighting”! You want them to feel there’s plenty to go around, and that one dog’s good fortune means good fortune for them all.
Creative Rewards
Anything a particular dog finds rewarding that is acceptable to you can be used as a reward for teaching. When dogs are used for breeding, training-minded breeders occasionally have the male do some training and use allowing him to mate the waiting female as a reward. Dogs used for suspect apprehension by police and military handlers are sometimes rewarded by a chance to bite the padded human acting as agitator.
Think about the type of behavior you’re rewarding and the physical state best for your dog to be in to do that behavior. If you’re rewarding a stay, use praise, petting and possibly treats given during the stay to make it stronger. A calm release from the exercise is best because at times it’s dangerous for a dog to “explode” out of a stay.
When rewarding a dog for a high-energy task, an exciting reward helps build the dog’s energy during that task and for the next time you do it as well. One example around the house is the dog in your fenced back yard barking.
You may wish to use a different word than “Come” for the backyard, since the real meaning is not “Run to me this instant,” but rather, “Eliminate if you need to, and then hustle on in here.” The word “in” works well. Rewarding frequently for times the dog comes in quickly will help get the dog to come promptly into the house on this cue.
Watch your dog and think as you do things together, always looking for ways to use what the dog likes as rewards. Whatever the dog wants right then is probably the strongest reward for that moment. Be ready!

Keeping the attention of a dog while training is not always easy. Dogs can be easily distracted, and it is important to not allow the training sessions to be sabotaged by boredom. Making training fun for the dog and the human alike is vital to creating a happy, well adjusted and well trained dog.
Providing random positive stimuli during the day is a great way to keep the interest of the dog. Doing things the dog enjoys, like walking in the park, riding in the car, and playing with other dogs, is a great way to keep the dog’s attention and reward him for small successes.
For instance, in order to reward the dog for coming to you, for instance, ask the dog to come to you, without giving any clues about a walk, a car ride, or other treats. After the dog has come to you and obediently sat down, attach the leash and start the reward. This can be either the aforementioned walk in the park, ride in the car, or anything else the dog likes to do.
Providing some kind of reward, whether a treat, a special outing, or just a scratch behind the ears, every time the dog does something you want, is a great way to keep your dog motivated. If the dog knows something great is going to happen every time he obeys your command, he will be motivated to please you every time.
Distraction training
When training any dog, it is important to not let distractions disrupt the training. The dog must be taught to ignore distractions, such as other people, other dogs, other animals and loud noises, and focus on what is being taught These types of distractions can even be used as rewards when training the dog to come when called.
For instance, if your dog enjoys playing with other dogs, whether in a local dog park or with the neighbor’s dogs, let him play freely with those other dogs. Then go into the park or yard and call your dog. When he comes to you, provide lots of praise, treats and other rewards, then immediately allow the dog to go back to playing with his friends.
Repeat this several times and praise the dog each time he comes to you. The dog will quickly learn that coming to you means good things (treats and praise) and not bad ones (being taken away from the park).
If the dog does not master this particular type of training right away, try not to get discouraged. So called distraction training is one of the most difficult things to teach. Dogs are naturally social animals, and breaking away from the pack is one of the most difficult things you can ask your dog to do. Most dogs will be understandably reluctant to leave their canine companions, but it is important to persist.
Training the dog to come to you may require some creativity on your part at first. For instance, waving a favorite toy, or a lure, is a great way to get your dog’s attention and put the focus back on you. If your dog has been clicker trained, a quick click can be a good motivator as well.
Once the dog begins to get the hang of coming when called, you can begin to reduce and eliminate the visual cues and focus on getting the dog to respond to your voice alone. It is important that the dog respond to voice commands alone, since you will not always have the availability of a toy or other lure.

Step1 Most dogs love food. Be sure to ask your dog for a behavior at feeding time before he gets his dish. Either going into the crate, a basic obedience cue, or a trick. You may also use food as a reward for good behavior at other times. Sometimes you need more than a dry dog cookie to convince your dog that if he does not chase the cat it will be worth the wait. Try dry cereal, unseasoned baked chicken, cheese, jarred baby food, or canned cheese. Ask your vet if the treat you are planning to use is safe for your dog.
Step2 Many dogs would rather play than eat, use play time with your dog to get good behaviors. Ask for a sit or a stay before you throw the ball or the flying disc. Do not throw the toy for him if he is pawing or barking at you.

How To House Train A Dog
Play with your dog search can be a fun activity, provided that the dog knows what you are. How dog owners have left the park, throwing a Frisbee and expect their dog to run after him upside down? It follows that burrow in soft looking at them with a lost look in his eyes. Most dog owners mistakenly that their dogs know how to lead the Company. While this may be true for some dogs who love the race and bringing things back (well, I said no CU), there are still others who simply do not bother. In fact, they seem quite surprised why the owners would like them do that.
The reasons can vary, for example, there are certain breeds of dogs that simply do not have humor while others have been conditioned not to respond. However, training a dog to fetch is not really a difficult task. Everything you need to allow your dog to understand the rules of the game is consistent training and positive reinforcement. Here are the steps that will help you understand how to train a dog to retrieve.
Steps to teach a dog to fetch
Determine Cue: The first step in dog training is to determine the tail, which may be physical assistance, a word or gesture. For example, the word "fetch" can be silent. Make sure the gesture or word is not confused with another command. A syllable or a unusual move seems to work best.
Choice of venue: Choose a location that is level with a margin of safety as a fenced yard and make sure it is free from distractions. A dog park can be a bit too busy to conduct training, causing the dog to be too preoccupied with other things.
Dog Training Fetch A: One of the basic methods of training a dog to retrieve is "bait and switch" routine. You can choose two identical objects such as tennis balls or something who likes to play with the dog. Use a leash or rope to keep the dog under the control of movements. Now, hide the toy and throw each other over a short distance after showing it to your dog. Release the dog on a leash and say the cue word of your choice. The dog will run after the toy and pick it up. Then he begins to return first toy, produce the hidden. This may cause a fall in favor of the new toy. Now, wait until the dog back to you and put the leash before launching the new toy. Check out our new toy and say the word cue again, while releasing the animal to give chase. Although the hunting dog new toy, take the first. Repeat this process several times using the command. There are dogs that are not only motivated toys. You can try adding a little flavor of the game the way some food reward for their good behavior.
Another manual method is known as the "forced retrieve. This is done by launching a toy dog walking distance and give them to the point and pick it up. When dogs do this, you can reward him handsomely for it.
Praise Dog: When the dog toy extract can give you a dog treat and use lots of praise for letting the dog know that youre glad he did what you wanted to do. He finished the game before the dog is bored or tired.
Remember that when a dog training, patience is key. Believe me, every dog gets the hang of it, youll have a good time bonding with your pet. So go ahead and learn how to train a dog to get him to make the necessary additional comfort and happiness in your life.

How to keep a dog from barking all night
Any ideas? We arent getting any sleep!!
Answers:
Leave a dish with peanut butter next to the dog. Hide the water until morning.
Try a self correcting bark collar @ cabelas.com.
Sounds mean but you may have to take a strap to him 10- 12 times untill he gets the idea or get rid of him a dog should bark when neccessary.
buy him a muzzle they sell one that they can still drink water with it on . after a few weeks depending on how hard headed he is he will not bark all night or any at all cause he knows youre gonna muzzle him . this worked for my neabors dog . i was gonna take him to court .
You havent said if its your dog or a neighbors? If yours, keep the dog in the house for the night. If the neighbors, go and speak to them about the problem - perhaps they sleep so well they dont hear the dog barking. If they are willing to cooperate and keep the dog in at night, problem solved. If not, call your animal control officer and make a complaint. (Keep in mind that if the dog is yours, your neighbors might be about to do the same thing..)
try giving it a toy at night. Something to keep him busy or maybe keep him in ur room but oblige him to sleep on the floor for hygienic reasons and for domination reasons. But i suggest u keep him busy with some toys
spay it with water
DUCK TAPE!
first try to figure out WHY the dog is crying. then u will be ablle to correct the problem. it may be scared of the dark or does not have a bed or like being locked up in a room all night. maybe it is sick?
Rather than "strapping" your dog as someone suggested.. o_O Thats just mean, or using shock collars, there is another kind you could use. There are these collars that you can get that whenever the dog barks it releases and small spray of citronella, the dog cant stand the smell of it so they learn not to bark or else they have to smell that. Thats the route i would go. If it persisted, i might consider getting rid of the dog since that can cause a lot of neighborly problems as well.
it sounds mean, but the bark collars with a remote control that has a dial that controls the power of shock and it also has a high pitch warning that can be used if you train the dog with it correctly in the beginning.It works! they cost approx. 100$
kick its Bollo+ks up in the air!!
I keep a nightlight on for my puppy, a radio on quiet mellow music, and I put a sheet over her kennel. Dont here a peep out of her.
Well when my dog was a puppy he used to like to bark too. But you have to show the dog that your the boss. When he starts to bark punish him, and if that doesnt work get him a shock collar. It sounds mean but thats how they learn.
If it is your dog the only way to stop them by peaceful means is to sleep in the same room. Make them sleep on the floor, they will learn where to sleep if there is a bed set up for them in that room. If it is your neighbors dog try talking to them, usually the problem is the owner not the dog. If that does not work keep calling the police after quiet hours start until they come and address the issue.

How to Prevent a Dog Attack
Dog attacks. This may not seem like much of a concern, but the statistics point the other way. Every year, thousands of people are the victims of a dog attack. Most such attacks happen in otherwise peaceful suburban neighborhoods. A dog might be a mans best friend, domesticated for thousands of years, but that doesnt mean that it isnt an animal capable of being a vicious natural predator.
You perhaps know a dog who is badly behaved and bullies everyone in the neighborhood. As a child, I knew one such dog who terrorized all the kids in the neighborhood and made it impossible to head outside the home without adult company. Anybody who has been the victim of a dog attack, or has even lived under the shadow of a prospective attack knows how terrifying an ordeal it can be.
So how does one prevent a dog attack?
The best way, of course, is prevention. Simply avoid the areas where you know a badly behaved dog is bound to be. Dogs are territorial animals and will defend their turf, particularly if they find you threatening. Avoidance is the best way to prevent an attack.
The kind of clothing you wear can also make you susceptible to attack. Dogs like to look people in the eyes and are generally suspicious of those that have their head covered. If you are wearing baggy, loose clothing, you may attract a dogs attention too.
There are certain tools/weapons you can use to scare away a dog in case of an attack. One of these tools is a dog chaser whistle. This whistle produces a high frequency sound (above 20,000 Hz - the hearing range of human beings) that can be heard only by dogs. A dog chaser whistle is quite effective with smaller dogs, but utterly useless when confronted with larger, aggressive dogs such as rottweilers or pitbulls.
Another tool you can use is a stun baton/gun or a pepper spray/gun. These tools are also very capable of protecting you against a human attacker. The former releases a small surge of electricity that can "stun" an attacker, while the latter releases a very strong (but harmless) chemical compound that can irritate the skin and stop an attack in its way.
Ultimately, the best way to prevent a dog attack is to be aware - avoid the roads where you know an aggressive dog lives, get away as soon as possible if you see a charging dog, and carry appropriate weapons with you.
How to Get Your Dog Used to Your Newborn Baby | online dog trainer review
How to Get Your Dog Used to Your Newborn Baby
Now comes the most challenging part of having a dog, or dogs, and a baby. This is when all of the training you have done to date comes into play and will make your life much easier and more enjoyable for all. The following article will teach you how to get your dog used to your newborn baby.
Coming Home For the First Time
The first step in this process is your arrival home from the hospital. If you do this the right way your dog will be more likely to accept your new baby.
When you come home from the hospital, have mom enter first, alone with something of babys, such as a blanket or clothes the baby has worn. This allows your dog to smell the new "thing" that will be coming into the house, making it less alien to him. Have dad hold baby outside so that your dog can greet her and start to calm down before the baby comes in the house. Then, have mom go outside and hold the baby while dad goes in to greet the dog. It is ok for your dog to get a little excited, but make sure you get him calm before the baby comes in to the house. If mom and dad are calm and relaxed when they enter it will transfer to the dog and put him at ease a little faster. Do not make a big deal out of the greeting, but make it a happy one! Put the dog on leash and make him sit and stay so you have control when mom and baby enter. When your dog has calmed, come in the house with the baby. Do not let the dog jump on anyone, especially baby! If he does, give him a firm correction verbally and with a quick jerk on the leash. Do not use any harsh punishments unless the dog becomes a threat to the baby. Do not hit your dog! If you believe that the situation is too much for the dog to handle, put him in his crate or gate him in a room. When the dog is calm, allow him to sniff babys feet. Be very careful not to let the dog too close to the babys face at first because he could accidentally hurt the baby if he jumps or licks too hard. Basically, keep control of him at all times and the likelihood of something bad happening will be minimal. Do make sure that you praise your dog for good behavior. You can also give him high value treats for the good behavior.
Even by following the above procedures your dog may still be "jealous", even though dogs really dont have that emotion. They do understand when the attention has diminished or completely gone away. Make sure to still give your dog attention when possible! Make special time for him just as you did before the baby came home. Set up time to play with and give attention to him when the baby is around and is not around. This shows your dog that he is still a part of the family and will still get attention. It also teaches him to share the attention with the baby. This may seem like a tough task to achieve because you will not have much energy due to the demands a baby places on you, but it is vital!
How Your Dog Should Act Around the Baby
Have your dog sit or lay down when he is near the baby. This will assist in the process of teaching the dog "gentle" and promote calm behavior around the baby. Keeping the leash on in the house will allow you to have the extra control over your dog that you may need. Make sure to only have the leash on the dog when you are home and able to supervise, otherwise the dog could get injured from the leash. You can also use the leash to teach your dog to walk slowly around the baby. Make sure to praise when he is doing what you want.
It is very important for your dog to respect your baby. When your baby is young you need to be the one to make your dog have respect for your baby. Making the dog be gentle and do down-stays around the baby helps to teach the dog to respect the infant. As your child grows you can have your child interact and do different activities with your dog to teach your dog that the child is higher in the pack than he is.
When to Pay Attention to Your Dog
Good times to give your dog attention when you have your baby out are when the baby is in his or her swing, on a blanket, or while you are feeding baby (if you can juggle both tasks at once!). You can give your dog treats during every aspect of dealing with the baby, such as while you are feeding, while you are changing, holding or playing with your baby. Again, this will teach your dog to accept all of the different things that you will be doing with your baby.
Do not push the dog away if he shows attention to the new baby. Make sure to keep all baby experiences positive, when possible, using praise and the high value treats. Encourage the calm, gentle behavior around your baby so that he understands the right way to be with the baby. If you ignore your dog when the baby is out it can cause feelings of neglect in your dog. This can lead to bad attention seeking behaviors such as stealing things that arent his, jumping, nipping or barking. Realize that both your dog and baby will still need individual attention.
A good way to pay attention to your dog is by taking him out for a walk or play. It is very important for your dog to get plenty of exercise daily. If your dog does not receive this necessity, he will become out of control and a pain in the you-know-what!
Help! My Dog Steals From My Baby and Knocks Over Her Highchair!
One thing that drives me crazy is a dog that steals from the baby or knocks into baby equipment. Teaching your dog to keep a slight distance away from the equipment will avoid accidents. Please do not let your dog jump on or paw at the equipment. This is especially important because the dog can knock over swings, strollers and high chairs inadvertently. Do not allow your dog to climb into the baby equipment or lay on the baby blankets or clothes. Your dog will leave hair and dirt in and on them and could damage the equipment. It also sets up the possibility of your dog attempting to do this when your baby is in it! Your dog could hurt or suffocate your baby if he lies on, or steps on your baby.
Please keep your dog away from the high chair! Do not let her clean the food up off the chair or the ground. This will eventually lead to a dog that jumps on the chair and steals food. Whether or not your baby is in the chair, this is not a good behavior to allow!
Nursing and Bottle Feeding
Nursing or bottle feeding is a special time for you and your baby. It is also a time when your dog may become a pest while trying to get your attention. This is a good time to use the "high value treats" to reward the dog for good behavior and to teach the dog that this is a pleasant time, not a time when the dog should feel slighted for a lack of attention.
You can also utilize the down-stay on the dogs "spot" or at your feet while feeding so that the dog is under complete control, yet still near you and the baby.
Your Bedroom Is a Calm Place
If you plan to have your baby sleep in your bedroom, as many people do, and your dog is allowed in there, your dog needs to learn the proper behavior of being calm and easy in there. Keep the dog away from the bassinet and off of your bed. Many people have the baby in bed with them for sleeping or feeding and you dont want your dog to step on or lay on the baby, as this could cause injury. You can teach your dog to come on your bed only when invited, if you choose. Make sure that your dog is always lying down when on your bed so you avoid any possible negative situations. On the same note, teach your dog to get off of your bed when told to do so. It is feasible to have your dog and your baby on your bed at the same time if you are careful and pay attention at all times!
Car Rides With the Baby
It is important to teach your dog how to ride in the car with you and your baby. Your dog probably already knows how to take a car ride, but it becomes a different experience with a baby in the car. Do not allow him to sit in the same seat as your baby because you do not have control over the dog while you are driving. Unwanted things can happen, such as stepping on the baby, nipping the baby, or licking the baby when the dog is too close. Babies also make sudden movements and noises and these may startle your dog. If you have the space in the back of your vehicle, it is a good idea to put the dog there. If you can get the dog used to this before your baby arrives it will be much easier for him to handle having the baby in the car, making it less likely for him to feel neglected. If you do not have room in the back, invest in a dog seatbelt or dog seat (for smaller dogs) and have your dog sit in the front seat when possible. Being able to take your baby and your dog out together can be very enjoyable for all involved!
What to Do If Your Dog Is Not Ready to Be With Your Baby
If your dog growls when it is around the baby, he is not ready to be with the baby. Do not punish your dog for growling! When your dog growls, he is trying to tell you that he is not comfortable with the situation. This is a warning that should be heeded as biting may come next! He is giving you a very important message! If you punish him for growling he will learn that growling is unacceptable and you will no longer have a warning of what may happen if he is not given the opportunity to go away from the baby. This can turn an avoidable incident to a potentially dangerous situation, such as biting.
Taking the extra effort to teach your dog to be around your baby will ensure that he grows to accept the baby and learns that your baby is a part of the family, just as your dog is. He will soon believe that the baby is one of his favorite humans! Your child and your baby will most likely grow to be very close as time goes on!

How to Groom a Dogs Face With Scissors |
How to Groom a Dogs Face With Scissors
A dogs hair can be one of its more endearing traits. Just as a persons haircut says something about him, a dogs coat helps show off its personality. While sometimes influenced by its personality, the style of a dogs coat needs to be practical and hygienic. Long-haired dogs and dogs with fast growing hair need frequent trimming of the hair on the face. Long hair on the face can complicate eating and sight and trap dirt and moisture that may lead to eye infections.
Instructions
- 1
Comb the hair on the face to remove any knots or tangles.
2Brush the hair in the direction it usually falls. Brush the hair above the eyes towards the nose so that you can determine exactly where to cut so that it does not cover the eyes. Brush the hair on the nose down to determine how long to leave the beard.
3Comb the hair and stop just before the length to cut. Cut the hair protruding from the comb.
4Grab the hair between your index and middle finger and cut the hair protruding from your fingers. Using your fingers allows you to get closer to the dogs face and have more flexibility than with a comb.
5Lay the scissors flat against the skin to cut hair very short. Open and close the scissors while slowly moving them across the face. Do not point the tip of the scissors in the direction of the eye when cutting around the eyes.

How to Stop a Dog Barking
How to stop a dog barking? Y ou may ask? First let us address the question Why Do Dogs Bark in the First Place?
Dogs are like people - they like to communicate. They also have feelings and responses like people, so the secret to how to stop dogs from barking lies in tuning into their thinking patterns and feelings. The advantage
we humans have, is that dogs, unlike us, have a very simple outlook on life and therefore are easy to "program" or "train" if you know how.
All dogs bark, its their way of communicating a message. The disadvantage they have is that their vocabulary only contains one word - "woof". It may be to greet, to alert, express boredom, to attract attention, or when they get excited. Most would agree that some barking is acceptable, but too much barking will most certainly be annoying, especially to your neighbors.
Take into consideration what is making your dog bark. Is a cat taunting him in the window? Does he need to go out into the yard? It could be hungry, out of water, or just trying to tell you something.
So How To Stop A Dog Barking??
You need to create a new link in a dogs mind between event and response. A good way is to set up a situation similar to where your dog always seems to bark. An example would be having someone knock on your door or ring the doorbell. During this simulation, when your dog charges for the door and starts to bark, simply grab him/her by the collar and give the command "No!" or "Quiet!" But be careful not to yell at the dog because yelling doesnt help. A barking dog thinks our yelling is our attempt to join them in warning everyone of the intruder. Your yelling is inadvertently telling your dog, "Keep it up, bark more and make it louder too!" Look the dog in the eye and firmly say issue your command, but dont yell.
If your dog ceases barking after you gave the command reward him, but not immediately, otherwise he might think you are rewarding him for barking. First, follow directly with another command like "Sit!" and when he obeys, then reward the dog.
The dog hasnt stopped barking at this point, what should you do? If your dog did not stop barking after the first "quiet" command, use your hand to close his mouth. Place a muzzle on your dog and rap your fingers
around it. Then once again give the command of "quiet" Remember no yelling!
Be sure to praise or pat your dog or say "good" at the exact instant he displays good behavior. Reward him with plenty of praise
What About When Theres No One Home?
To prevent your dog from barking while youre not at home. Keep him/her in the house with the radio on. Play soft music and keep the drapes and blinds closed when you leave.
Things to Remember ......
There are two reasons why you may have a dog that barks at almost anything. One reason is some types of dogs are just born to bark. If you own a basset hound, foxhound, or bloodhound, you unfortunately have a dog that was born to bark.
The other reason is some dogs are naturally very territorial. To them your home is their place to defend. When your dog barks theyre telling you, "Come quick, I need to know if this person is a friend or an enemy!"
Remember, its a good thing to have your dog warn you of potential danger. You dont want to train them so well they just sit there like a statue when someone rings your doorbell or knocks on the door. You just want them to do it once or twice, and then stop. Using the commands and then treat method will do trick.

how to ease a dying dog
my aunts 11 year old boxer is dying what can we do to ease him through it
Answers:
what is the dog dying of if its pain it should be put down if not give us some more information
Take him to the vet and hurry it along. it is not right to make him suffer through death. Let god take it from there.
Put him to sleep. Hes probably suffering, poor thing. Dont keep him alive for your mental health.
Do the humane thing and put the animal down.this is the problem with pet owners in America.SELFISHNESS.
People would rather watch their animal die just to see it more.the animal is suffering.put it down.one little shot and its done.
really the only way to ease him through it is to spend time with him and give him what he wants. there is also another thing you can do and i know this sounds mean and cruel but u could just put him down he wont feel anything. i mean do you really want him suffering? i dont think so. but it really is your call.
Its always hard to lose a pet, just comfort the dog, let him know you care.
Dogs die just like people do. and we dont go around just giving Grandma a shot to put her out of her misery. we take care of her! My suggestion is an asprin a day - it helps a little bit with the pain. If you feel like it isnt helping enough, ask the vet if there is something stronger. Make him a comfy padded bed to lay in, hes 11 years old so his joints, etc. are probably needing some cushion. Lots of love! Dogs are so loyal - all they need is some lovin to make them happy through their last days.
awww. let him know u love him, then put him down. :( good luck.
I wrapped my dog in her favorite blanket, carried her in my arms around the yard which she always loved for me to do, made a clay paw-print, took a lock of her fur for a keepsake, sang "her" song, told her I loved her, then had her put down because she was suffering worse and worse, I kept her and she is buried near a grape vine at my home. I also asked God to keep her for me until I get to Heaven.
I think you should put him down. you dont want him to suffer any more.

How to house break a 4 mo old dog that makes on wee wee pads only She makes on them like a charm |
How to house break a 4 mo old dog that makes on wee wee pads only She makes on them like a charm
My 4 month old shih tzu has learned to make on the wee wee pads, I want to get her to start going outside instead,. how do i transition her to start "going" outside now?
Answers:
Catch her at the pad and hurry up and take her out, then reward her if she goes. Also, water goes through faster than food, so just a little bit after you give her water, take her outside until she goes. Keep telling her to "Go pee". Again, reward her so she knows shes doing a good job. With solid foods, wait an hour or so to take her out. Shell catch on we just went through that.again!!
start moving the pads closer to where you want her to go.and slowly move them outside.and once she gets outside watch her as she goes and pull the pad from under her as she goes.lol.not really but you get the idea
keep on putting the pee pads closer and closer to the door. then when the pad is close to the door put it outside. make sure the puppy knows that the pad is outside. watch for the puppy to go to the door then take him outside to go.
beat her with a stick.
Move her wee wee to the wee wee pad out side the doggy door you should know the dogs look after drinking and eating as she walks to her former wee wee spot and gently push her thru the doggy door each time and praise praise each time let doggy know you really like it when it gos out side. After a while dogs take the hint and find a place in the scrubs or yard.
Gradually move them towards the door and eventually let hers use them outside and PRAISE her when she does.I use "go pee go poo " with mine so they associate the words w/ voiding outside. Now I just bring them out and say "go pee go poo " so they know what is expected of them
