Dog owner tips and tricks

When you are a responsible dog owner, you will never let your dog walk on hot concrete. Your shoes will protect your feet, but dogs' paws and sidewalks can feel burning hot in the summer. If you're going to shave your dog in the summer, stick to grassy areas. However, many people are unaware that a dog's fur protects its skin from the sun, preventing sunburns. Your dog will thank you if you stop taking it on the same routine walk every day. Dogs are curious creatures who enjoy discovering new things and exploring, so mix things up by taking different routes.

And it's impossible if you start to snuggle or stroke your pet too soon after telling it off you have to be firm otherwise the dog will never learn the rules a responsible dog owner will never neglect its pooch's teeth statistically five out of six people don't think brushing their pets teeth is necessary that's why more than 65 percent of dogs have dental problems

that go untreated there's probably no dog that enjoys the process of teeth brushing and it does take tons of your time but try doing it at least three times a week and your fluffy friend will be much healthier don't allow your dog to run while holding a stick in its mouth most dogs love playing Fetch and then trotting around with branches in their teeth but vets know all too well that such games can end badly one end of the stick gets stuck in the ground and the excited dog fails to notice the other end jutting into the air it's much safer to throw rubber balls or toys trimming their dog's nails is something a good owner will never forget to do dogs do wear their nails down on hard surfaces while walking outside but if your Pooch spends most of its time at home its nails have to be clipped just like you if they aren't your dog can accidentally scratch

Itself long nails also make walking more difficult don't let your pet chew up its toys dogs have strong teeth and it won't be a problem for your pup to bite off pieces of rubber or plastic if the animal swallows one of them wow it can block the digestive tract better give your Pooch a special chew treat a good dog owner knows when they have to be firm pups can be incredibly cute but it's not the reason to let it run wild and rule the house dogs do need structure don't hesitate to be strict when necessary but doing it in a way without hurting the dog or making it fear you you have to show your pet whose boss.

Around here over feeding their Pooch isn't something a responsible dog owner would do yep even when it's giving you its best puppy eyes look some dogs don't have the stop mechanism for eating you need to figure out how many calories your pet consumes versus how much exercise it gets don't leave your pup outside when it's cold yeah dogs do have the protection of their fur but if the weather is too chilly for you it's likely to be too cold for your pet too a good owner knows dogs don't like to be petted or even touched from above on top of their heads this way they can't see your hand and an unexpected movement can frighten.

to have a bath regularly a good dog owner will never ever put their pet in a truck bed it might seem like a comfortable and good place for the animal but the dog can jump out it can get thrown out of the vehicle at a sharp turn or bump in the road or it can get hurt when the truck suddenly breaks look but don't stare if you maintain eye contact for too long your dog might think you're challenging it feeding your pup apple cores is a big No-No apple seeds contain cyanide in large amounts they will be poisonous for the dog apple slices though perfectly fine don't just assume your dog would get along with a cat they might not behave unfriendly toward each other at first but it doesn't mean one of them won't hurt the other when you're not around keep an eye on the animals until you make sure they get on very well doggone it if you're normally amiable Pooch suddenly starts growling at you when you look it in the eye well stop doing that dogs take such a straightforward look as a challenge and may even attack or start barking at you if the dog loves you and recognizes you as its Master though it may look back and make those eyes big and dreamy that's a sign of trust and friendship.

Although the experiment was a failure, do find one true stick. Dogs can hear sounds that are inaudible to humans but can hear them very well. The ear was simple a dog gets so enthralled by the commercial that owners can't help but notice it and the next dog food they buy is the advertised product. Although in theory the idea sounded promising in reality most Dogs showed no reaction at all meaning ads can't probably manipulate pets as well as they influence people. Buddhist When animals, moving objects, and other visuals show on the screen, your fluffy pet reacts to them in a way that is almost same to how you would if we were talking about colors. To dogs, the world seems the same on TV and in real life.
