Travelling With Your Pet: On The Road

Friday, May 11th, 2012

If you are organizing a vacation and wondering whether you can bring your cherished pet along, there are a few things to consider before setting out. First you need to think about whether or not your dog is prepared to hit the open road.

Does your dog have a collar with the proper identification on it? Is it microchipped for safety and security reasons?

Does your dog have good behavior and the basic training necessary to be in new places and in public?

If your dog is prepared for travel, it’s time to start planning the trip! And a trip with a dog requires some extra planning. Before setting out be sure you are conscious of any entrance limitations for pets where you’ll be travelling through, and staying.

Make sure all accommodations permit pets and have the necessary conveniences.

Be prepared in the event of an emergency or health issue. Jot down a list of everything your dog might need during the trip. Now you’re ready to go!

Getting Out on the Road With Your Dog
Often the simplest way to travel with your dog is by car. This is the least intense method of travelling for both you and your pet. It provides the most constant human contact and the most familiar surroundings with frequent possibilities for food, rest and bathroom breaks. It is far better to use your own car, or one that your dog is acquainted with for long trips.

Before you strap your dog in for a long automobile ride, consider how they behave in a vehicle. Have you got a car the dog has spent time in before? Is your dog at ease or nervous in the car? A frightened dog will experience vomiting, crying, panic, may leap out of the automobile through an open window or take off when let out of the automobile.

Are your dog’s only experiences in the car on the way to the vet or somewhere unpleasant for him? If so you might want to take the time to bring your dog on some car rides to somewhere positive, like the park, pet store or somewhere they are going to get treats and fun. Positive associations with the vehicle can make a trip much easier.

It is far safer to restrain your dog when the automobile is moving, instead of letting it ramble free throughout the car. If your dog is uninhibited in the car it can get jostled around dangerously, or distract your attention from your driving. It’s advisable to have the dog in its dog crate, a safe familiar place.

For long trips you ought to have a lot of of water available and the dog food your pet is used to. Be certain to stop for frequent breaks so that your dog can stretch its legs and use the washroom. If it is a long trip it is pertinent to have knowledge of where emergency vets and pet stores are found along the way.

Where to Stay
Nowadays there are more inns that are prepared to accommodate pets. Some even offer pet friendly rooms that have dog beds, spas and other conveniences to make your dog feel just like they’re on holiday as much as you are. But these can typically be pricey, and difficult to find in smaller towns. It is smart to check with every hotel you have an interest in ahead of time to see what their policy is on pets. Some could be pleased to accommodate pets even though it does not mention this up front on their website or other communications. However , it may be less complicated for you to seek alternative options to having your dog with you in the hotel. Consider finding a kennel in the destination city where you can place your dog comfortably at night and pick up in the morning for a day of excitement together. You may also think about camping with your pet. Dog friendly campgrounds are more easy to find and allow you an opportunity for you and your pet to enjoy the outdoors, ideal for your dog.

These are some things you’ll want to include in packing for a trip with your dog:

An inventory of vet hospitals and pet stores along the way and in the destination city, dog crate, leash, dog food, water and bowls, toys, treats, dog bed, blankets, dog waste bags, leash, medications and first aid supplies, health certificate from your vet.

The First Night With Your New Puppy

Thursday, May 10th, 2012

Bringing home your new puppy for the first time is a great feeling and a day of major excitement. Getting through the 1st night with your little one can be another story altogether. Having a new dog in the house can be quite chaotic and the most trying time is those first few nights when you will not get a full 8 hours regardless of what you do. The simplest way to address this, and scale back the craziness as much as is possible, is to be prepared and have some good tricks up your sleeve.

If you have been reading about housebreaking and caring for a new dog, you will doubtless have read about the importance of crate training from the first day you bring your dog into the house. If you have spent the time to introduce the pup to its crate and have made it a cushy, positive place for the pup, this should make the nights way easier.

Your new puppy will have little bladder control and this amounts to most of the disturbances you will get in the middle of the night from your dog. You can expect that your pup will have to go out to the yard once every 2-4 hours for the initial few weeks. There are ways you can cut down on the number of times necessary to take out your dog in the night and eliminate accidents.

Tips to get you more sleep

Keep your pup active and awake for the last 2 hours before going to bed. If your puppy has been sleeping and lounging around all evening, they will be raring to go and full of energy while you’re attempting to sleep.

If at all possible, don’t let your dog eat or drink past about 7pm unless they need water because of warm conditions. This may give you a better chance to rest for a few hours before needing to take dog out for a pit stop.

Take dog out to the yard just before bed. Keep an eye out to ensure your dog really eliminates and does not just sprinkle, then go back inside. You don’t want to make this a wasted trip, and you especially do not want to get up in the following half hour to do it again.

Be ready to get up every hour or 2 to take your pup out to the toilet. Set your alarm for every 2-3 hours and take your pup outside. You could have to wake your dog up, but it’s much better to develop your own schedule to take them outside. If you wait until they tell you they need out, they’ll learn that barking and whining wakes you up and this can form future habits.

Keep your dog near you at night. If feasible, have them in their crate in the bedroom with you. You can have the puppy in the bed with you if you want but consider thoroughly the implications;
the puppy may soil the bed,
the pup will become used to the bed and it’s got to be an all or nothing proposition - you cannot choose to allow them in the bed sometimes and not others,
the puppy will grow up and you’ll have a full-sized dog on your bed in the end

If the pup is not prepared to spend a full night in its crate, you might think about tethering the dog in the bedroom. To try this use a short tether, giving the dog a bit of room to move about, although not enough that they are going to want to eliminate within the area.

If it’s not possible to have the dog in the bedroom with you, you can have the dog spend the night in another room. To make the dog more comfy isolated in another room, try leaving soft music on, a fan, or white noise of some sort to help to ease it. You’re going to need to be super watchful in ensuring the puppy gets out to the yard at frequent intervals in the night since you won’t be well placed to hear the puppy whine to get out.

Have all that you need to take your pup out for a pit stop prepared and accessible. Having these things prepared and laid out will make getting up in the middle of the night a lot simpler. Have something to wear, such as a housecoat and slippers, a leash if you use one, and waste bags handy.

When you bring your young dog out in the middle of the night, especially if you need to wake them, the puppy could be so sleepy that they sit right down and try and fall back to sleep. Delicately get the puppy to move around and stay awake. Chances are they still need to go to the toilet but may be too knackered to realize it immediately.

Keep overnight pit stops as short as feasible and stick to the business at hand. Playing with your pup will only teach them that if they wake you up in the night they are going to get to have a play date. Be certain to keep everything calm and serene. Still be certain to praise the dog for doing its thing.

Following these tips and being prepared for what’s ahead should make your first few nights with your new puppy run a lot smoother. Having said that, there is always unforeseen issues. Try not to get exasperated with your puppy, these first few days are all about welcoming the dog and getting it used to its new home and family.

Flying With Your Dog

Sunday, May 6th, 2012

Taking a significant journey with your pet is a serious endeavour. It can be fun, rewarding and a great bonding experience for the pair of you. It may also be necessary if you’re moving a far distance and don’t wish to leave your dear pet behind. Nevertheless, it’s also a real challenge , and air travel can be especially intense on your pet. The most important thing is to be entirely prepared for every situation and ensure your dog is ready for this expedition.

Beware that even the calmest, most easy-going dogs will be very frightened in an airport, particularly if they are separated from you in the cargo hold. Ensure the dog is used to its crate and has a strong enough constitution for such stress.

First things first, you have to be up to date on all travel rules with the airline and customs. Different airlines have different rules and procedures for pet travel. If you have a smaller dog, many airlines will let you take them into the cabin in a dog crate to store under your seat for the length of the flight. Naturally this is the easiest situation for air travel as it allows you to stay in touch with your pet.

Mid size to large size dogs will be needed to be checked into cargo. They will need to be in a hard shelled crate, with food and water for the journey. Check on dog crate size requirements for the airline you’ve chosen to go with. Water will easily spill on the ride however , so one tip is to freeze the water before checking in to permit your dog to lick at the ice to lap at the water without spilling. You’ll also wish to make the crate a cosy place for travel by placing warm bedding, toys and treats inside. Confirm your pet is comfortable in its crate for lengthy amounts of time before travelling.

Do not sedate your dog or place a muzzle on it as these things can make it hazardous for your pet to travel by air. Have a label, clearly visible, on the outside of the crate so your pet is easily recognisable. Have the dog’s name, your name, and contact info written somewhere easy to see on the crate. The dog’s leash and collar should be easy to access as soon as you are landed.

Make sure you are mindful of all extra costs of travelling with your pet and factor this into your travel budget. Many airlines need pets to have a certificate of health from their vet before travelling.

Taking your dog across the border
Each country has its own rules about what’s required to go through customs with a pet. In many cases you will need to have a certificate of health, a rabies shot certificate, examination to guarantee it is free of all infectious diseases, and in a few cases must be quarantined for a couple of months. Check into this prior to travel to forestall any issues.

Do I Need To Crate Train My Puppy?

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Crate training is a common, effective way to train a puppy. It can be instrumental in house breaking, providing a foundation for good behavior and a comfortable nesting place for your pet. Nevertheless some people have reservations about putting their pet in a crate. The important thing to realize is that the crate is a training tool, and not an alternative to the awareness and care of the owner.

Correctly crate training your dog has many positive outcomes for both you and your pet. Being able to keep calm in a dog crate can save your dog’s life in an emergency scenario. It will also make recuperating from a medical procedure way easier. Good luck with your training and remember that crate training requires patience and diligence and won’t be acceptable for all dogs.

Keep in mind that some dogs who have had a bad past with mistreatment and improper use of cages and confinement may not ever be in a position to be crated. The secret iss to start slowly, don’t force your dog into a crate unless positively necessary, and be patient. You’ll soon see if your dog will take to its crate. Starting crate training with a new puppy will be easier than an older dog and can set it up for positive habits for life.

For house breaking purposes crate training uses puppies’ natural tendencies to not wish to soil their sleeping area. This means that when in a proper sized crate your puppy will not wish to eliminate inside. Your dog will wish to go to the rest room once removed from its dog crate. This’ll help you to create a schedule and location or “spot” for your dog to do its business in. Now you can create positive behaviour and encourage your puppy with praise.

There’s a difference between short periods of confinement and confining your dog to a dog crate when you’re away. Short term confinement ought to be done when you are home and can let your little puppy out after a brief time in its crate. This is for house breaking purposes and to adapt your dog to its crate. It will also help your pet learn bladder/bowel control. Because your dog won’t wish to soil its crate. it will learn to hold it, and not just eliminate whenever it feels like it.

Long term confinement, such as overnite and when you’re away, is done in order to avoid soiling and destruction in your house when you are unable to watch your dog and to keep your puppy safe from dangers round the house. You should use long term confinement only untilyou feel you can trust your dog to roam the house freely without getting into trouble. You can also use baby or pet gates to cordon off potentially unsafe areas of the house, letting your puppy wander a bigger area.

Whatever you do, do not leave a dog in its crate for more than a couple of hours at a time. 3-4 hours maximum in the daytime, 8 hours at night. If you cannot be home during the day to let your dog out organize for someone else to let it out and take it for a walk. If this is impossible, consider other methods of confinement in the daytime, for example penning off an area of the house or yard, or cordoning off hazardous areas with pet gates.

If you are conscientious and patient, training your dog to love its crate is a positive and crucial step in training your puppy. If crate training does not sound best for your puppy, consider the 3 choices to crate training: Exercise pens, Dog Proofing Your House, and Making a Dog Safe Area Outside. Look to get some more information on these options in future articles.

Can I Train An Older Dog To Use A Dog Crate? Teaching Old Dogs New Tricks

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Yes! With enough time and patience most dogs can be successfully crate trained at any age. Because dogs are naturally den animals and like the security and comfort of little, safe spaces, crates are a truly positive thing in their lives. Keep in mind that some dogs who’ve had a bad past with mistreatment and poor use of cages and confinement may not ever be able to be crated. The trick is to start out slowly, don’t force your dog into a crate unless completely necessary, and have patience. You’ll soon see if your dog will take to its crate.

Start out by selecting the perfect size of dog crate. You need a crate that’s big enough for your dog to stand, sit, stretch out and turn around. Anything smaller than this may be exceedingly uncomfortable for your pet and will make crate training difficult. Getting anything bigger than this is going to make it tempting for your dog to utilize a corner of the crate for its toilet. Dogs don’t enjoy going to the toilet where they sleep, so they usually won’t soil the proper sized crate.

Give your pet some motivation for spending time in its crate by giving it some amenities. Place some comfy bedding in there, some toys, treats and water. It is possible to get water bottles that clip on to the dog crate which are excellent as they cannot be spilled over the floor of the crate. Is your dog a chewer? You should to avoid putting anything in the crate your dog may gnaw on and choke.

Get them used to the crate before keeping them confined there. It is very important to the successfulness of crate training to establish the crate as a nice, positive place for your pet. Leave the door open and encourage your dog to enter by placing treats in the crate, or leading him to the crate with treats. It may take several tries to get your dog to enter the cage by itself. This is ok - take it slow with this. Allowing your dog to enter by itself is the best way to start out crate training.

Ultimately your dog will enter readily and with some luck will choose the crate as its favorite place to snooze. This is when you can begin closing the door on the crate for a couple of minutes at a time. It is critical that you begin by confining for only brief periods at a time. If your dog’s first experiences locked up in its crate are for longer periods, it’ll lose trust and start seeing its dog crate as a bad thing.

Once your dog can be confined for up to half an hour without any problems you can begin to leave it in its cage for longer periods. Never leave your dog in its crate for more than a couple of hours at a time. It’s best for you to be nearby when it is crated. Ideally, overnite the crate would be placed in your bedroom or very close by so that you can be conscious of any problems right away. This will also maintain trust with your pet.

During the day your pet shouldn’t ever be crated for over 3-4 hours. If you can’t come back home to let out your dog at some point during the day, find a pal or neighbour who can. If this is not possible look for an alternative to crating,eg making an indoor pen or cordoning off dangerous areas with baby or pet gates. Your dog should only be crated until they can be trusted to wander the house freely without safety risks or destruction.

Correctly crate training your dog has many positive outcomes for both you and your pet. Being able to keep calm in a crate can save your dog’s life in a critical situation. It’ll also make recuperating from a medical procedure far easier. Good luck with your training and remember that crate training requires patience and diligence and may not be appropriate for all dogs.

HousebreakingYour New Puppy: Creating A Den

Thursday, April 26th, 2012

Making a safe, comfortable den for your new pup has many advantages for both you and your pet. Dogs are naturally den animals and feel most comfortable in small spaces. Making a good den for your pup requires some work and focused concentration but it’s worth it for you both.

Your pup requires a space where it can feel secure while you are out, or are otherwise occupied and can’t actively supervise your pet. To create a den, you need a dog crate and pet gates to cordon off an area for a pen.

Select a safe, spacious area in your house where your dog will not encounter any dangers, and cannot destroy anything valuable. Block off the area using sturdy dog gates and place a dog crate in the area for sleeping. Keep the crate door open, allowing for your pup to go in and out at his leisure. The crate is a relaxing environment for the pup giving it a comfortable cocoon, and a sense of safety. This is a crucial part of teaching your puppy to feel safe and independent without you there.

Ensure your dog can still see beyond its area of enclosure and can engage with you while he is inside and you are outside. This will assure the puppy that you are not deserting it or punishing it. When you’re home it is important to establish a balance between the time the dog is in its den, and when it’s got more freedom to play with you elsewhere in the house. The puppy needs sufficient time in its den to feel comfortable there, and sufficient time with you to not feel like a captive.

Puppy needs to respect the bounds of its enclosure and not be constantly trying to escape. To avoid this, don’t stand directly on the opposite side of the gate and speak to your pet. This will only encourage attempts of escape. Do not ignore your dog either. Make sure you are bringing your pup out frequently to go to the bathroom in order to prevent accidents in his den area. Do not leave your dog unattended in his crate for extended periods. More than a few hours at a time is too long. Make sure your dog has plenty of toys and things to do in its den. There’s a fragile balance between making a comfortable, contented den area and making a jail.

Making a safe, happy den will improve your dog’s behavior, help with housebreaking, lower destructive behaviour, and establish a routine. Look for further articles on how to properly crate train your new puppy.

Housebreaking Your New Puppy: Creating Lasting Habits

Friday, April 13th, 2012

Like anything with a new puppy, housebreaking requires a serious amount of patience and understanding. Setting up lasting habits that will last the entire life of your pet occurs early and needs consistency, control and praise. Begin training your pup the 1st day you bring them home and work with them on an everyday basis to create a schedule and understanding from your pet.

Puppies need to relieve themselves anywhere from 6-12 times a day from when they’re first born until about 5 months of age. This implies you will be spending lots of time over those crucial few months bringing pup outside, and cleaning up after it. You will want to have a inviting crate and pen an area in the house using dog gates and slowly orient the dog to this appointed area. A dog won’t like to mess in its crate or anywhere near it sleeps. Developing a schedule is the key here. A puppy dog will soon be following a schedule and this may reduce the amount of accidents. Start with first thing in the morning, after meals, and before bed. Then fill in by taking pup out every couple of hours in between.

Your dog will show you signs of having to go to the rest room. Once your puppy has a spot outside they will want to use it. Occasionally they will whine or turn around in circles to let you know they need to go. When you bring them outside to their spot, again, be patient. They may just tinkle here and there and go numerous times in one trip. Allow them to take their time and avoid playing with your pup during these pit stops. They need to know they are out here to do their business.

Never shock your dog by scolding him. Scolding should be firm and startling although not frightening. Scaring your dog by being needlessly harsh will only set back your relationship with your dog and their obedience and knowledge of what you need them to do. It is in a dog’s nature to desire to make you happy. They don’t screw up deliberately, and even though it is maddening your puppy shouldn’t ever be humiliated or hit.

The best way to scold your puppy for making a mess is to give a firm “No!” They know by your tone of voice alone when you are upset with them. Scold just when the act is occurring, not later. Scolding when discovering a mess which has been made - even minutes - in the past will only confuse your pet. Dogs live in the present and will not understand scolding for past behavior. When catching them in the act, say the firm “No! No peeing in the house! No!” and take them out to their spot straight away. Wait for them to eliminate on their spot and praise them. The praise is the most important part of this process. Your dog will hope to repeat this performance.

If you are vigilant, patient and build habits direct from the beginning with your puppy, ultimately you will be able to reward his good behaviour with more liberty in the house and more liberty for you too. This is often an especially laborious process, but in the end you and your pet will be happier and have a trusting relationship. Good Luck!

How To Puppy-proof Your Home

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012

Congratulations on the new addition to your family! It is usually a thrilling time for a household bringing home a new puppy dog. But it can also mean the beginning of a difficult, sleepless time for the family. This stress can be lessened by taking the time to correctly prepare your home for the new arrival. The key is to do a comprehensive job of this before you bring puppy dog home. Of course there are always things the puppy will get into that are trickier to anticipate, but here are some tips that may prevent most mishaps in your home.

The puppy-proofing your house comes in 3 sections:

1. Making your house safe for a new pet. Removing all risks, anything posing a safety risk for the puppy.

2. Defending your stuff. Doing all that you can to guard your personal items against curious paws, fangs and mud.

3. Coaching your dog. Teaching your dog to safely and politely act in your home. This has to start day one.

This article is going to basically focus on sections 1 and 2, what you can do before the puppy arrives to form the best environment possible for you and your pet. For detailed information on section 3, training your new puppydog, refer to further articles.

Puppy-proofing Suggestions

  • Walk around your house and have a look at everything through the eyes of a puppy. Check for threatening items that may be damaged or pose a safety hazard, and remove the items or secure them so they are beyond puppy’s reach.
  • Identify areas of the house where you can’t simply remove potentially threatening items and consider where you could put up dog gates to keep puppy dog out of dangerous areas of the home.
  • Consider buying a crate to use when you have to constrict the puppy to a safe place and cannot be available to keep a continual eye on him.
  • When puppy dog isn’t crated and you are available, keep close, consistent supervision over your the puppy.
  • Place safety latches on cupboards, drawers, compartments, doors that occupy objects the puppy should not be sticking a nose in.
  • Ensure all electric cords are beyond reach of the puppy. These pose a rather serious safety threat to a young, teething puppy dog. If you can not completely remove them from the area, try covering the cords in rubber tubes.
  • Likewise confirm all loose cords,eg those on window treatments, are shorter than 7 inches and are out of pup’s reach. These pose choking dangers and other perils.
  • Spray all areas that could inspire chewing with a sour tasting deterrent spray. This works very well for lower walls, banisters, cords, furniture, and more.
  • Give your puppy dog some chew-toys. These will keep them busy and soothe them when they’re teething , as well as providing an alternative to chewing your dear furniture and shoes.
  • Lock up your shoes and other items that might be fun for puppy dog to chew on. Anything puppy dog has access to could seem like a fun chew toy to puppy dog and puppy dog does not know the difference between a toy and an Italian loafer.
  • Protect your breakables. These can be threatening for puppy and irreplaceable for you. Best to put them way up high, out of the puppy’s reach or move them to a secure part of the house where puppy dog can’t get at them
  • Don’t tempt puppy dog by leaving food around the house. Clear away food as soon as you are finished with it and be especially conscious of food that is threatening to puppy. It’s only natural that puppy will take any chance to chow down.
  • Be wary of any potential places puppy dog might fall from such as a stairway or a balcony. Put up a dog gate to barricade any dangerous areas and make sure the gate is safely installed.
  • Check for dangerous plants. Now’s an excellent time for a botany lesson. Check to make sure that all plants in the house are not lethal or alternatively dangerous to puppy dog.
  • Use puppy-proof rubbish bins and/or keep them beyond reach of puppy dog.
  • Keep a look out for anything puppy dog could burn or cut themselves on. Pay total attention to objects like ashtrays and candles, fireplaces, heaters, and anything with pointed edges.
  • Lock up all hazardous chemicals, cleaning supplies, cosmetics, and so on.
  • Keep doors to the cooker, refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, washing machine and dryer closed at all times. You may wish to place notes on these items to remind family members to look inside before using them. Puppies love tumble dryers.
  • Keep the toilet lid down, or just keep the restroom door closed at all times. Puppies love drinking from the toilet, and worse, can drown in toilets or baths.
  • Remove long hanging table cloths. Puppy will yank this down and the rest with it.
  • Plastic shopping bags are a harmful item for puppies. They present a risk of choking and suffocation.
  • Maintain clean, clear kitchen counters. This may prevent your the puppy from being tempted to search, and presumably find something tasty.

Many of these tips will also set puppy up for positive behavior habits. Keeping food clear, and countertops clean will help stop your dog from getting into the habit of begging and eating scraps, or scrounging for them. Spraying a sour tasting deterrent on items that could be tantalizing to chew will help stop your puppy dog from seeking this out also.

Following these steps is a good start to ensuring you and your puppy will be comfortable once he or she arrives. Happy training!
