Visit to the vet and how to get the pup to take the pill.

Copper went to see his friends at the vet's office today. As you may remember, he has thyroid problems. They did a blood test just to make sure that the medication is working properly. I should get the results early next week.

Since he was diagnosed, I have been giving him two pills each day. If you have never given pills to a dog before, I thought that perhaps I could give a little advice here.

The problem is that dogs don't really swallow pills naturally. So, you have to be a little creative when it comes to getting the pill into the pup. Nutro makes a cool little thing under their Greenies Brand called Pill Pockets. This is basically a semi moist malleable treat that wraps around the pill.  Most dogs will eat the treat and not notice the pill. Petco sells a 3.5 ounce bag with 30 of these things in it for about $10.00.

I have found a more economical solution.
The Lovely Shane picked up the bag of cheese on the right for about $9.00. It is already cut into chunks that are about the proper size. And there is two pounds of this stuff in the bag. Copper loves this cheese. He can have a treat, Cuddles can have a treat, The Lovely Shane can have a treat and I can have a delicious cheese treat all from the same bag!





Notice to the left here, how the pill pushes easily into the chunk of cheese. Copper never knows that his is the only treat with a hidden surprise.

These chunks are really the perfect size for his pill. Block cheese works well too. But, believe it or not, the unit cost was less on the stuff already cut into chunks.

Well eventually Copper may figure out that there is a pit inside the cheese (the pill) and he will likely spit it out. Don't laugh I have had this happen with more than one Beagle over the years.

After he was diagnosed, I picked up the little gadget on the right. It is a Pill Dispenser. Years ago, I think we called these pill poppers. It works a little like a syringe. The one end has little finger like things that hold the pill in place inside the syringe. You put the syringe in the dog's mouth and push the plunger which pops the pill down the dog's throat. They do not like it. It is, however, the only way that I have found which is almost fool-proof.

Copper showed a little bit of Anxiety at the vet's office today. He was a good boy but he was just scared. I remembered something that I have suggested to many students. I am going to take him to the vet's office when he does not have an appointment and let him greet the office staff, get petted, maybe get a treat or two.... then leave. This way he does not always associate the vet's office with bad experiences (like being stuck with a needle to draw blood). I can identify with the little guy, I hate needles too! I did also assure Copper that the vet was likely not a Alien and certainly not evil... anyone who would give a dog Puperoni after a needle stick can not be evil . :)

I hope my ramblings to day may have been of some help to you.

Remember I am always available if you have questions.

Human/Dog Connection .... Do dogs sense their owners feelings?

I talk a great deal about the human/dog bond. It is one of the reasons that I think walking your dog regularly is important.

People who have been around dogs for any length of time may begin to notice that the dog can sense your feelings. They can sense when we are sick. Most of the time when I am sick, Copper acts remarkably different. He stays physically closer to me than usual. I have noticed this with many dogs that I have had the pleasure of living with over the years.

Dogs can also sense our frustration. This is one reason that I encourage people to keep training sessions short and to end on a high note. If you get frustrated with the dog, he will sense that and become more stressed likely heightening your frustration. This soon becomes a vicious downward spiral.

I think my dogs can also sense when I am irritable or feel down. They certainly act differently. Copper really gives me a wide berth, so to speak, when he senses that I am angry, irritable, or just feel a little down.

I bring this up because, in training, it is important that you be in the correct mindset. If you have other concerns that are causing you stress or making you angry, try to do the training work with your dog when you are a little more relaxed and less stressed. It will make things more pleasant for you and your canine buddy!

You know, dogs are really pretty incredible animals. I have noticed over the years that my dogs have been very sensitive to weather changes. If a bad thunderstorm is coming, I can usually tell hours before it arrives just by carefully watching the behavior of my dogs. If you know what to look for it is easy. I have said before that dogs are very much routine oriented animals. If I see my dogs voluntarily breaking their routine, something is always causing it. Sometimes it is a change in the weather.

Well I hope you are all having a great week!

I am finally starting to feel a little better and am getting some work done.

Remember if you would like to talk about your dog's behavioral issues, I am always available. Feel free to contact me.

The importance of play for dogs.

Sorry I have been a little slow in posting to this blog the last couple of days. I have a really bad sinus/ upper respiratory infection.  I went to the Doctor for the second time today. Hopefully the medication I got will begin working soon!

Well, Copper has been feeling much more like a puppy lately. As some of you may remember, He was recently diagnosed with a thyroid problem. Since he has been on the medication, he has much more energy and gets in moods where he really wants to play! Of course he is still a Beagle so he still does his fair share of napping :).

In the above pictures, we see a happy Copper chasing after some sort of tree bound creature (likely a squirrel). These were taken yesterday, by the lovely Shane, while I was taking a nap (as a result of feeling sort of crappy).

This made me start thinking about how important play is for dogs. It really brings a balance to them.  What Copper is engaging in here is instinctual, natural play. He also likes to run chipmunks out of their holes. I really do enjoy watching him do this and it is good for him. It keeps his mind active.

I always try to make a point of telling my students that it is really important that a dog have time for play. It is not just for puppies. It is for adult dogs too! You have to exercise much more caution bringing adult dogs together to play with each other. If the dogs don't live together, I am not a real advocate of forcing them to play together.

You see, the play is not merely for socialization. It is also to work the minds of the dogs. When Copper chases squirrels, chipmunks, or rabbits, it is fun for him and it works his mind.

For retrievers it may be playing fetch or chasing birds. For terriers it may be digging up toys or chasing rats or chipmunks. It will not take long to determine what your dog naturally likes to do to play.

A note here: Believe it or not, not all dogs enjoy playing with toys. Don't let this discourage you. I have two dogs in my pack that do not enjoy toys. Neither Copper nor Cuddles will play with toys. Copper will eat the frozen peanut butter out of a Kong toy but, when the peanut butter is gone so is his interest in the Kong. While this is uncommon, it is not unheard of. So, do not fret if your dog doesn't like toys. There are still natural ways in which he/she can play.

I write this to encourage you to  let your dogs play from time to time. It is good for them and it is alot of fun to watch !

I am really getting tired here, think I will take another nap and let the medication work.

I will write a more in-depth post on play later.

Remember, play with the dog!

Corn as an ingredient in dog food

Several minutes of internet research reveals that former presidents and rock singers consume at least some quantity of corn. So why do we make such an issue of it being in Dog Food?

Well, the real truth of the matter is that corn is used in the making of most of the more inexpensive kibble because it is a relatively cheap and very available source of carbohydrates.  A carbohydrate source appears to be essential in the manufacture of kibble.

Mike Sagman wrote an interesting article for Dog Food Advisor. Here is a link to it http://www.dogfoodadvisor.com/dog-food-industry-exposed/dog-food-corn/. Here he claims to dispel many of the myths regarding the use of corn. I think he makes some pretty good points though it appears that he may have a bit of a bias against the use of corn in dog food.

As I stated in a previous post, I do not really see a major issue with the use of corn if the dog does not have an allergy to it. While arguably foods containing a large amount of corn may not be the most nutritionally balanced, if the dog is healthy and having no allergic reaction to the food I don't really feel the need to fix something that may not be broken here.

Purina actually does a really good job of explaining some of the health benefits of corn on its web site here: http://www.purina.com/meet-purina/nutrition/power-of-grain#/power-of-corn. Both Purina and Eukanuba state that corn provides antioxidants, carbohydrates and fiber. The fiber is important because it aids in digestion.

Blue Buffalo makes an interesting statement regarding corn on it's website. It reads, "And of course, BLUE never uses corn, wheat, or soy.  These are considered by many veterinary nutritionists to be lower quality ingredients used as fillers and are often associated with pet allergies." You can see this at : http://bluebuffalo.com/nutrition. I have a couple of issues with the statement Blue makes here:

1. What exactly is a "filler"?  Well the dictionary definition of the word "filler" is : "filler  plural of fill·er (Noun)

Noun

A thing put in a space or container to fill it: "these plants are attractive gap-fillers".

A monetary unit of Hungary, equal to one hundredth of a forint.

Synonyms

stuffing - filling

Okay, I presume we are not discussing Hungarian money here so filler used in regard to corn would mean that it is simply used to fill the bag and has no other value. I think that is overstated. Obviously corn does provide some nutritional value. So, I don't understand where our friends at Blue Buffalo are coming from here.

2. Why did they not quote some percentage of dogs affected by these "pet allergies" to corn, wheat, and soy?

The quote simply says that corn is "often" associated with allergies. I have been around dogs for a long time. I don't think I have ever run into one that had a known allergy to corn. Based upon my experience I think Purina make a more believable statement when they put the percentage of dogs with corn allergies at about 1%.

 Our friends and Iams also have some good information about corn on their website. Find it here: http://www.iams.com/pet-health/dog-article/corn-ingredients-and-their-use-in-our-foods.

Our friends and Hills (the makers of Science Diet) also have some interesting information on corn. They actually call it "An amazing grain". I think Hills may also be overstating here but read for yourself at : http://www.hillspet.com/cat-care/corn-an-amazing-grain-mature-adult-cat.html. I know it says cat in the link but they reference dog food too.

So, dear reader, you really sort of have to weigh all this stuff and decide for yourself. I have nothing against my friends at Blue Buffalo or some of the other high end food manufacturers who do not use corn. There is certainly nothing wrong with their product. In fact many of them are very good even if they are very expensive. Again, I simply do not feel the need to fix something that may not be broken in regard to corn.

If I may be of any help to you while selecting a food for your dog. Please do not hesitate contacting me.

Dog Bite Prevention

Well the American Veterinary Medical Association has designated the week ending on May 25 as "National Dog Bite Prevention Week".

I think it may be prudent of me to mention some things about dog bites. I have been around dogs for most of my life. I suppose than means  I have been around dogs for about 47 years now. I have been bitten on more than one occasion and, in case you are in suspense here, it hurts.

Each time that I was bitten, I can directly trace it back to something that I did not understand about the dog's behavior. Also in each instance the dog gave warning signs that I was either ignorant of or that I just ignored. With very few exceptions, most dog bites are preventable. 

A stressed dog is likely to bite and there are dog body language indicators of stress. Growling, showing of teeth, etc. are some of the more obvious signs but to a more experienced observer there are more subtle signs like stiffened posture, tail position, etc. It is a little beyond the scope of this post to teach all the signs but, be aware that most of the time, the dog gives ample warning before biting.

I used to warn the people that I worked with at Petco that perhaps the most dangerous and underestimated dogs in terms of biting an employee, are probably the little dogs that people have in shopping carts or carry in their arms. Please be careful trying to pet these guys! If they are a little stressed, it can quickly escalate mostly because the dog feels trapped in the cart or because the person is holding him. 

It is also a good idea to ask the handler before petting or approaching a dog that you do not know. And even with permission, be careful how you approach the dog. Never tower over the dog. Avoid petting the dogs head. I always slowly approach making a large arc (not directly walking up to the dog) from the side of the dog I offer a closed fist. If the dog sniffs and seems relaxed, I pet under the chin or on the back. Never on top of the head.

These are just a few of the basics. There is some very good information on the American Veterinary Medical Association web site at : https://www.avma.org/Events/pethealth/Pages/Dog-Bite-Prevention-Week.aspx.

I will end with a story that indicates how a dog bite can be a very dangerous thing. It also demonstrates that I too am more than capable of doing stupid things:

Many years ago, I guess about 15 years ago now, I lived in Port Charlotte, Florida. I had recently moved there from the Atlanta Area. I took my Beagle named Boomer with me. At that time Boomer was about 7 years old. Boomer and I had a lot of fun together and spent most of our time together. Boomer and I were getting ready to go to Atlanta to spend Thanksgiving with my family.  Well, I was packing and Boomer was sleeping on my pillow on the bed. Boomer was a rescue dog. I adopted him when he was 9 months old. Sadly, he was abused as a puppy. We had to be careful waking him because he scared really easily. He also did not like anything or anyone near his muzzle. Well, I accidentally woke him and got a little too close to his muzzle doing it. He bit me on the lip. He cut it open good. Blood was everywhere. Boomer went back to sleep as I ran to the bathroom to tend to my lip. I had to go to the hospital emergency room in this small Florida retirement community. After spending several hours in the emergency room, I got several very painful stitches in my lip. The point of this story is that Boomer gave me many warning signs that I ignored or forgot about. He was always anxious when people got too close to his muzzle (as most dogs are). I also made the mistake of carelessly waking him. You should always be careful when waking a dog. Absolutely do not get near the face when you do it. I really, to this day, do not think that he realized he had bitten me. I am not sure he even completely woke from his sleep. When I came back all bandaged up, he was my best friend. He was worried about me and would not leave my side. Boomer and I did not make it to Atlanta for Thanksgiving that year. We had turkey in Port Charlotte with the natives. Well, Boomer had turkey, I think I had some sort of liquid for the next week or so :).

So, the lesson that I hope you will get from the my dog bite experience with Boomer is to be aware that  any dog is capable of biting. You must watch for the warning signs. But, if you know what to look for it is pretty easy. You must also be careful in approaching strange dogs. This is particularly true of stray  dogs. 

I will be happy to talk to you about Dog Safety at anytime. I will also be happy to demonstrate to you how to approach a strange dog using Copper to help me demo. Contact me if you are interested.

The importance of regular walks with your dog buddies

I always explain to new students in my classes the importance of taking your dogs on regular walks. Even if you have a fenced back yard for the dog to romp in, it is still important to take them out on the leash for a walk frequently.

There are many different methods and theories regarding dog training today. Many of them disagree and conflict on many aspects however the importance of the walk is one aspect on which most seem to agree.

Those of you who have discussed this with me in the past know that I advocate at least a few minutes of what a I call a "controlled" walk each time you take your buddy out for a walk.

By controlled, I mean that I wait to get the dog calm and preferably in a sit before the walk begins. I keep the dog by my side and he does not get in front of me during the controlled part of the walk. When I stop, I give the wait command and my buddy waits beside me until I am ready to continue. My attitude during this part of the walk is that I am walking and my buddy is lucky enough to come along. 

When you do this loose leash walking properly, your dog will quickly learn to stop when you stop. The wait command is also useful to teach the dog to behave at doorways.

This is also an excellent way to strengthen the bond between you and the dog!

In addition to the training benefits, it is also healthy for you and for your dog. A well exercised dog is less likely to engage in problematic behavior out of boredom. And well, a well exercised person is likely to be in better shape :).

However, before this can work, the dog must know how to walk properly on a leash. You must also know the proper loose leash walking technique. Those of you who have been in my classes know that this is not rocket science but it does not really come natural to either you or your dog buddy.

For dogs that pull on the leash, a no-pull harness or a special martingale collar may be needed at least initially to inhibit the pulling so that the dog can learn the appropriate technique. But again, this is not rocket science either. However, not all no pull devices are appropriate for all dogs. I will be happy to aid you in selecting the proper device.

The picture above is of me and my buddy Cuddles. Cuddles is a 12 year old Corgi Mix. I met Cuddles when I met my wife, Shane. At the point that is pictured in the walk, I am giving Cuddles a little extra leash so that she can explore the terrain of the mountain roadside stop that we made on a trip together.

We spent several days in the Smoky mountains on that trip and Cuddles became a regular mountain dog :).

If your dog does not behave properly on the leash, I will be happy to assist you at anytime simply call me or email me. I strongly encourage you to take advantage of the wonderful opportunity that we all have to bond with our dogs! Take your dog for a walk now.... it will be fun and healthy for you both!

Do dogs enjoy TV?

To entertain my buddy Copper and to help relieve a little of his separation anxiety, I often leave the TV on for him. He really seems to enjoy watching.

News shows seem to be his favorites although he will sit in front of anything and fall asleep eventually.

I really do believe that the modern high definition TVs are easier for the dogs to watch. I do not remember having a dog before HDTV that enjoyed watching TV.

I have always used radio and TV to provide a soothing background noise for anxious dogs while I am away but before HDTV the sound from the TV is what did the trick not the video.

I am curious if any of you have noticed a similar phenomena in your dogs.

By the way, if you have a dog with mild to moderate separation anxiety,  TV and/or radio can help sooth the dog and make him more comfortable.

If your dog is being destructive. or just loud when you are gone, contact me. Copper and I would be happy to  provide you with a great deal of help and direction.

Nutrition

For a happy, healthy dog like the guy you see in the picture above, proper nutrition is important.

As many of you know, in the not so distant past, I worked for Petco. As part of my job there, I often helped customers decide on the proper food for their dogs. Anyone who has visited one of the big pet retail stores, (i.e. Petco or Petsmart) knows that the choices of dog food can be quite overwhelming.

I will begin by stating that I am not a nutritional expert, but, I have worked with dogs and their owners for quite some time now and I have a great deal of experience with many of the brands of dog food that you will encounter on the shelves of your local Petco, Petsmart, or similar establishment. I am familiar with some of the claims that the manufactures make. I think I can give you a little non-biased information here.

Perhaps a little information on the physiology of dogs is in order here. Again, I am not an expert, but I do have some knowledge on the subject.

Dogs do not have nearly as highly developed sense of taste as we humans do. They have taste buds and can taste but their sense of smell is much more developed. Therefore it is not really the taste of the food as much as the smell and texture that the dogs seem to enjoy.

Chewing does not work the same in a dog as it does in us people. Take a moment and watch a dog eat sometime. The jaws only move up and down not left to right as ours do. Dogs only use their teeth to break the food into small enough pieces to pass down the throat. Saliva is only used to lubricate (in people, saliva actually begins to break down the food.)

This is the reason dogs can eat so fast. My understanding is that their stomachs are more flexible than ours and the stomach acid more potent.

Aside from being interesting, I hope that this information helps you to understand that eating is different for dogs. I come to a few conclusions from this information:

1. Dogs do not really spend a lot of time tasting food. Therefore they will not really get "bored" eating the same foods because they don't really taste them.
2. Dogs do like some foods some foods better than others but, I have found that this is due more to smell and moisture content than it is to taste.
3. While dry foods will be more abrasive on the teeth and therefore could help remove tartar, my personal feeling is that any statement by manufacturers about one kibble cleaning teeth better than another is a little suspect because the simple fact is that the dogs do not chew their food nearly enough to get a large benefit from the abrasive action of the kibble against the teeth. I personally think that dental chews would be much better for teeth cleaning via abrasion. 

Please also remember that if your dog has allergies or you suspect your dog has allergies, your veterinarian can provide much better information regarding diet than myself or anyone at a pet store can regardless of their "training". I went through continuing "training" at Petco. While much of it was very informative, it was also done by computer and was very much influenced by the food vendors.

Remember, only a veterinarian can properly diagnose allergy or any other malady in a dog. Many dog foods claim to make a difference in skin condition. While it is true that skin  and coat condition can be improved  through proper diet, it is also true that not all skin conditions are food related. If your dog has a skin problem, before you address it with supplements or change the food, I strongly encourage you to consult with your veterinarian. 

If your dog has a "sensitive" stomach I would also recommend consulting with a veterinarian before you change the food. There are many things that cause digestive issues in dogs and not all are diet related. Just because the bag says for "sensitive" stomachs, it does not mean that it will cure all digestive issues and changing the dog's food could introduce new problems if he is having digestive issues.

If you have recently visited a Petco or Petsmart, you will notice that the food is arranged in categories and varies very widely in price. 

At Petco the categories were :

• Essential
• These are foods like Iams, Beneful, Purina Dog/Puppy Chow, Purina One, etc.
• These are considered ,by the Pet food stores, the very low end of the line. The unspoken feeling seems to be that these foods may not kill your dog but they are not good for them at all.
• I have a real problem with that kind of thinking. These foods are not, in themselves, harmful to dogs. They contain no fillers. They are however, brands that you can find at most grocery and big box department stores.
• While they do not contain fillers (fillers have no nutritional value), they do contain by-products and artificial preservatives and in some cases, dyes.
• They also contain, as a major ingredient the dreaded corn.
• Contrary to what you may have been told, corn does provide nutritional value. I will explain this in more depth in a future post.
• The problem with the corn based foods is that the stool is often larger.
• My advice to customers (not the Petco line) was that if your dog has no allergy or digestive issues and is otherwise healthy and not overweight, I see no reason to take the dog off this type of food.
• Premium
• The premium foods are generally much more expensive. 
• Brands such as Purina Pro Plan, Eukenuba, Royal Canin, Hills Science Diet
• Most of them have a recognizable protein source in the first few ingredients (i.e. chicken, beef, etc,)
• They do not contain by-products
• Many of them address certain breed specific or life stage specific issues through supplemental additives.
• (i.e. Large Breed, Senior, Small Breed, Toy Breed, Sensitive Skin, Sensitive Stomach, Weight Control)
• There are some good foods in this class however, if your dog does not have a specific issue addressed by these foods, again, I am not certain that the benefit is worth the added cost. This is a decision that you will have to make. The cost is not such a big issue with a small dog because they do not eat so much but a large dog could be very expensive to feed on these foods. 

• Natural
• These foods contain all natural ingredients. When preservatives are used they are natural.
• All the ingredients are generally recognizable. 
• There are many very expensive brands in this class ( Halo, Merrick, Avoderm, Inova, Nature's Valley, Natural Balance, Nutro Natural Choice)
• There are also some moderately priced brands (Nature's Recipe, Whole Earth Farms)
• There are also what I call gimmicks within this category. 
• Grain-Free
• There is probably a small percentage of dogs that are allergic to grain however, my thinking is that this type of food is so popular and marketable at a very high price because people are aware of gluten sensitivity in people and project that on their dogs.  A real positive is that Grain-Free Foods do seem to produce less flatulence in dogs. I am not sure if it is worth the extra price to you to have a dog that is less flatulent. But if it is, there ya go!
• Raw
• This is basically adding freeze dried raw pieces of meat to the food to increase the protein content.
• This is quite the fad now and many people love this. But again, I really perceive it to be more about the people than the dogs here.
• But if you want to pay much, much, much (I mean exponentially) more it is very good meat. To give you an idea of price, we carried a bag of this stuff that was a little over 20 pounds in weight and cost about $80.00 retail. And believe it or not we sold about two of these a week!
• Holistic
• This is really a sub-category of natural foods
• All Holistic foods are natural but not all natural foods are Holistic
• Holistic foods are part of a Holistic approach to Dog Health.
• I do not disagree nor do I find fault with this approach however, I will admit to knowing very little about it.
• The foods in this category are generally a higher priced version of the Natural Foods. They often (though not always) have a mixture of protein sources (i.e. Chicken, Duck, and Salmon)
• Brands include (Blue Buffalo, Holistic Select, Solid Gold, etc.)

Okay, perhaps you are really confused now because of the large amount of information I just provided. Here is my advice:

If you adopt an adult dog ( or a puppy for that matter), if the dog seems healthy and is not overweight, keep him or her on the food they were on before they moved in with you. In other words , don't fix what ain't broke. If you can not obtain the food they were on for some reason, use one of a similar quality (use the ingredients on the bag for comparison.)

I will be writing a post later on overweight dogs. Food is not always the problem here. Many times it is more exercise than food. However if your dog is obese, consider using one of the Premium brand  weight control foods until you can get the weight off.

As for me and my dogs, this is what I do:

When I worked for Petco, I got a pretty good employee discount and was always getting coupons. So, I bought whichever adult natural food I could get the cheapest. I keep a large plastic container and mix this food together to feed my dogs. It works well because none of my pack has digestive problems.

Now I use any food that does not contain fillers and use the same method. My dogs are healthy and they are not overweight due to overeating.

So, my advice is that if the dog is healthy and you are satisfied with the price, why change?

If you are having problems selecting a food for your dog, please contact me, I will be happy to help you decide.

Till next time

Welcome to my Dog Training Blog

Hello-

My name is William. I am a professional dog trainer. The cute little guy in the picture above is my sidekick and demo dog Copper the Beagle.

Copper was added to our family on January 12, 2013.  He is an adopted dog. I adopted him from his foster mom at Bully Wag.  Copper is about 5 years old. We have really enjoyed working together over the past few months. Due to lack of exercise and a thyroid condition, Copper was quite overweight when he moved to his new forever home. Since then, we have been getting plenty of exercise together and are treating the thyroid condition with medication.

Copper has learned how to properly walk on a leash, how to behave properly at a doorway and how to leave things alone that I do not want him to pick up. He just loves learning new things (and getting treats as a reward).

Copper had quite a bad case of separation anxiety when he first moved in but, we are working on it and have made great progress!

Copper and I are very happy to announce that we are starting a new dog training business! We look forward to helping other people to have better relationships with their dogs. We look forward to teaching you how to work with your dog to have a more polite and better behaved dog.

I will be frequently posting tips, helpful dog information and updates to this blog.

-William-
