Car Sick Dogs

Many dogs and puppies get car sick. Some so much they start drooling as soon as they get in the car, or even refuse to get in. Most car sickness is physiological and it is not hard to see why.

The first few times a dog rides in a car are usually negative experiences. They are taken to the vet for a needle, being taken away from mother and litter maters, back to the vet, more needles and so on. Easy to see why they could learn not to like, even fear riding in a car. A negative pattern has been learned. The best way to break this pattern is with fun rides in the car, Short little rides to a park or a quick drive around the block before dinner or a walk. Even just getting in the car, starting it then getting out, show the dog there is nothing to fear, it is normal and you are in control.

Training Dogs Is As Educating Children

We should think about training our dogs along the same lines as we think of educating our children. All dogs need training and are happy being trained. When well trained they know exactly what is expected of them and fit into their pack, your family. They need training to keep them mentally stimulated and to teach basic words and commands. Many people start saying “NO” to their puppy right from day one, most learn what “NO” means but it is not automatic it is learned, trained. The better we train the better they understand.

We would not think of letting our children grow up without learning to read and count. It should be the same with training our dogs to stay and come, words that every dog should respect. The better you train your dog the more respect it will have for you as the pack leader and the happier it will be. As I always say a well trained dog is a happy dog.

Ever wondered why dogs turn around several times before they lie down?

Ever wondered why dogs turn around several times before they lie down? It's all down to genetic memory, and stems from the days when their wild ancestors would trample down grass and foliage making a bed for the night.

OLD DOGS CAN LEARN NEW TRICKS. With patience and understanding you can teach an old dog new tricks depending on what you are trying to teach the dog – or unteach the dog, which is usually more difficult. Like humans, dogs can learn at any age – it’s just old habits that are hard to break!
