- | |||
- | If your vet gives you medication to take home and administer to your dog, be sure and ask for ideas on getting him to swallow it. Dogs differ in their tolerance of pills and badly-flavored liquids, so have a few tricks up your sleeve in case he resists. Getting a dog to take medicine is important, but often challenging. | ||

- | |||
- | Let your dog know who is boss! Unless shown otherwise, a dog will naturally assume that he is the leader of the pack - once this has been established it is quite difficult to persuade him otherwise! When disciplining your dog, be firm in tone, but calm. Never punish a dog in a physical manner, as this will lead to lifelong mistrust. Also, when he behaves, remember to praise him! | ||
- | |||
- | Certain dog breeds are susceptible to some health problems, so make sure you know what is typical for the breed of dog you have. Find out what health problems to expect and learn how to prevent those that your dog is prone to developing. Talk to the vet to find out what you are able to do to assist your dog in beating the prognoses of his breed. | ||
- | |||
- | Your dog's claws must be trimmed. When they start curling under, the dog runs the risk of experiencing pain. These can be trimmed at home if you use nail clippers from the store. If you don't feel comfortable trimming them yourself, a groomer can do it for little money. | ||
- | |||
- | Be prepared for natural disasters that also impact your dog. Have an emergency supply of water and food for him and know in advance if your local shelter for people will allow pets inside. Too many pets are injured or lost following storms, floods and other situations that cause chaos in a community. | ||
- | |||
- | Outdoor doghouses are not enough to keep your furry friend comfortable in cold weather. You must also provide some sort of bedding for him. Choose from straw, hay, cedar bedding or even blankets. Make sure that you change the bedding often no matter what you choose to ensure that there no bugs move in and mold doesn' | ||
- | |||
- | Whenever your dog has a house-training accident, be careful to clean it very thoroughly. You want to be using a professional grade cleaner along with an efficient odor remover. If any scent remains, the dog might soil the area over and over. | ||
- | |||
- | Don't bathe your dog after you have applied a flea or tick medication. Some medications tout that they are waterproo, but they only mean against rain or swimming. They will largely wash away with a dog shampoo, rendering the treatment ineffective. If you must bathe the dog after a treatment, use a soap free shampoo. | ||
- | |||
- | Be careful when choosing what kind of food to feed your dog. Some dog foods contain dyes and fillers that are simply not healthy for them. When choosing a food, look on the label for words like "AAFCO feeding studies" | ||

- | |||
- | Not all dogs are meant to be outdoor dogs. If you plan to keep your dog outside, carefully choose the breed. Small dogs, short-hair, or older dogs will not do well being kept outside. Choose one that has a nice thick coat, that is mature and one that is extremely healthy. | ||
- | |||
- | If you're considering introducing trick commands to your dog, make sure that you have first covered all of the basic commands, such as sit, lay down, stay, and come. Although trick commands are fun and entertaining, | ||

- | You should check your dog regularly to make sure that he does not have any ticks or fleas on him. There are combs you can purchase that can be used to help you locate them. To prevent fleas and ticks, you can purchase special collars from the pet supply store. | ||

- | In Hot Water About Your Dog? Climb Out With This Advice | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Every dog is unique, like a fingerprint. They even have their own likes and dislikes, aptitude for patience or impatience, and some are loving while others are distance. How you care for them depends as much on who they are as your own situation, but the advice you will find below applies in every household which has a dog in it. | ||
- | |||
- | Always, have your dog spayed or neutered. Studies have shown that this leads to the pet living a longer and much healthier life. Not only that, but neutered and spayed dogs feel less need to wander away from home, so they are not as likely to be hit by a vehicle or become lost. | ||
- | |||
- | Having fresh and clean water available to your dog at all times is a must. Dogs become dangerously dehydrated in a matter of days, so its very important to always have water ready. Dogs will also appreciate water that is clean. If you find it necessary to drink filtered or bottled water because of the quality of water from your tap, then be sure to provide your dog with the same high quality water. | ||
- | |||
- | Before deciding on what type of dog to get for your family, consider space. Even though you may love the bigger dogs that you can really wrap your arms around, you may not have adequate space for a large breed. Take your home and yard size into consideration before bringing home a new pooch. | ||
- | |||
- | Hot summer days are harder for dogs to handle than humans. Always make sure your pet has enough water to drink. Provide them with a shaded area to rest if they are going to be outside for any length of time. And, if your dog begins acting in an unusual manner, call the veterinarian. Heatstroke could be fatal, so it is important to get medical care as soon as possible. | ||
- | |||
- | Know the basics of pet first-aid if you have a dog in your family. Being able to react quickly in an emergency, such as your pooch being bitten by a snake, can mean the difference between life and death. Read a good book on the subject or ask your vet to brief you on the basics. | ||
- | |||
- | Keep your dog at a healthy weight. Plenty of dogs are overweight, and just like humans, this can lead to health issues. People tend to overfeed their dogs, and many also feed them table scraps. A dog doesn' | ||
- | |||
- | Pet boarding and day-care services are a billion dollar business, so make sure you get your money' | ||
- | |||
- | If your female dog is in heat, be very careful with her around other dogs or she may become pregnant. A male dog is able to smell her from up to five miles away. This may cause a fight or impregnation if a male dog spots her. | ||
- | |||
- | Send your dog to school! He will feel more comfortable knowing exactly what is expected of him and obedience school will help him learn that. It will also boost his self-confidence, | ||
- | |||
- | Never leave your dog home alone for more than a few hours each day. For example, if you are planning on being away from home for a few days, you should find a place to house them where they can get regular care. Dogs can become anxious when left alone for extended times, so consider their feelings and provide them with the care that they need. | ||
- | |||
- | Let your dog know that you care about him. As it usually happens, many times owners focus more on bad behavior rather than good ones. Your dog will develop more behavioral problems if you adopt this attitude. You should ensure you give your dog positive reinforcement. Your dog will do its best to please you. | ||
- | |||
- | It is essential that you get your dog vaccinated. Vaccinations will protect your dog from different types of illness and diseases. Most vaccinations are done at your dogs yearly check-up. Your vet can explain what each vaccination is for. The rabies vaccine is required by law in many different states. | ||
- | |||
- | Just like people, dogs need plenty of exercise for optimum health. Dogs are naturally hunters and love to run by instinct. Take your dog to the park, play Frisbee with him and give him a daily walk. This will help keep him physically healthy but will also make him mentally healthier. | ||
- | |||
- | Make sure that you carry small bags and gloves with you while you are out walking your dog. If he uses the bathroom outside, it is your responsibility to clean up the mess. It is unsanitary for you to leave it there, and it some places you may receive heavy fines for that. | ||
- | |||
- | Outdoor doghouses are not enough to keep your furry friend comfortable in cold weather. You must also provide some sort of bedding for him. Choose from straw, hay, cedar bedding or even blankets. Make sure that you change the bedding often no matter what you choose to ensure that there no bugs move in and mold doesn' | ||
- | |||
- | You need to teach your dog a few simple commands at a very young age for its own safety. Your dog should always come when you call its name and a command such as ' | ||
- | |||
- | When choosing a vet for your dog, make sure that it is a good experience for both you and your dog. You want your dog to feel comfortable so that the visit will go smoothly. It's also important to find a vet that helps you fully with any concerns that you may have. | ||

- | Making A Zip Line For Your Dog | ||
- | |||
- | Keeping our dog safe, and abiding by the rules of many of the places we visit, means that Myles spend a lot of time on-leash. Though we’re always exploring new places, life at the end of a six foot tether doesn’t provide him with much freedom. So, to give Myles more room to wander while we’re camping, we made an inexpensive zip line for our dog! | ||
- | |||
- | Zip Line vs. Tie-Out | ||
- | |||
- | The zip line has a lot of [[https:// | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | First, jumping up every two minutes to untangle your dog doesn’t happen with a zip line. If you have a dog who’s constantly wrapping his tie-out around the picnic table, tent stake, trees, and your chair, you know how impossible it is to relax with those shenanigans going on! | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Second, you’ll never again feel the dread of watching your dog bolt to the end of their unforgiving cable tie-out. The zip line has more give and protects pets from injury. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Third, the zip-line won’t trip you when you’re stumbling around the campfire in the dark! | ||
- | |||
- | Materials and Assembly | ||
- | |||
- | All you’ll need to make a zip line for your dog is some nylon rope and two spring clasps. Any hardware store will have these materials, or you can order them online for about fifteen dollars. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | We chose a rope with a smooth cover, which makes it comfortable to handle when we’re putting it up and taking it down. It also has a bit of stretch for some shock absorbency to protect Myles from a sudden stop. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Rod used his Eagle Scout skills to handle the knot tying. He made quick work of the two bowline knots, attaching the spring clasps to the ends of rope. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Melting the fibers by passing the raw ends of the rope though a flame keeps them from unraveling. And – SHAZAM – the zip line is ready for action! | ||
- | |||
- | Deciding On Length | ||
- | |||
- | The most difficult part of making your zip line will be deciding how long it should be. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | We decided on a 50 foot line, which gives Myles plenty of room to explore. And because having too much is better than not enough. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | That length also gives us more flexibility if we’re at a campsite with few anchor points. If we don’t have trees, we can attach one end to the ladder on the back of our motorhome and the other to a picnic table or post. | ||
- | |||
- | Setting Up The Zip Line | ||
- | |||
- | Before setting up your dog’s zip line at a park or campground, check the rules to verify that they allow the rope to be wrapped around the trees. Also, placing a 1 to 2 inch webbing between the tree and the rope will help protect trees with soft bark. Nails and screws should not be attached to the tree when putting up your zip line. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | It takes about five minutes to set up our zip line. In the photo below, we’ve wrapped one end of the rope around a tree and clipped the spring clasp on to the rope. Then, keeping the rope taught, we ran the rope to another tree, going around the tree as many times as necessary to take up the slack before clipping the spring clasp back to the rope. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | The rope is placed high enough to just give Myles the ability to lie down comfortably. Giving him just enough leeway keeps him from building up too much velocity and jerking at the end of his leash if he decides to chase a gofer or give a squirrel a run for his money. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | We also use the dog zip line when our campsites have a ramada. It’s easy to wrap the line around two posts and snap the ends back on the rope. | ||
- | |||
- | One Zip Line For Two Dogs | ||
- | |||
- | When we still had Ty and Buster, we made separate runs for each dog on the zip line. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | We’d wrap the rope around the first tree and clip the spring clasp back to the rope. Then we’d make a complete pass around a second tree, creating the first section of zip line where Ty’s attached in the photo below. Then we’d wrap the rope around a third tree and clip the spring clasp back to the rope. That created the second run of zip line where Buster is attached in the photo below. Giving the boys their own space kept them from getting tangled around each other! | ||
- | |||
- | Connecting Dogs A Zip Line | ||
- | |||
- | Pets should never be attached to a zip line by their collar, because it could choke them if they became tangled. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | What’s " | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Place your pup’s water bowl within easy reach and you’re done! Just remember never to leave your pal unattended on the zip line. | ||
