Know Your Dog Part 12 - What To Do When Another Dog Attacks You?

What do you do when you are walking your dog down the road on leash and another dog comes out of the blue and attacks your dog?

You do this :

* irrespective of what, don't scream or scream. Remember, prey drive is excited by sound - particularly high-pitched sounds. Howling just escalates the intensity of a dogfight. Attempt to keep calm at all points.

* While you have hold of the leash, your dog is in the power of the other dog. Let go so he'll either retreat or fend for himself.

* For your own safety, don't attempt to separate the dogs, or you may get bitten.In the overwhelming majority of situations like this, one dog gives up, and the other one walks away.

* Find out who the loose dog belongs to so you can take suitable action.

When we trained and exhibited our Yorkshire Terrier, Ty, we got into the practice of being ever vigilant about the plans of other dogs. We learned to place ourselves between Ty and other dogs so they could not make eye contact with one another. Luckily, we've never had any situations with him.

Discovering the unvarnished truth about Electrical Fences Many housing developments have covenants against fences. That sure is a problem when you have a dog you need to keep confined. Tying a dog out on a line, excepting short periods, is not a humane option.

Don't worry technology is here, and the electrical fence is the solution. . A wire is buried round the fringe of the property, where a fence would generally be. The dog wears a collar, which serves as a receiver.

If he makes an attempt to cross the invisible fence, he receives an electrical shock.The dog figures this out very swiftly and stays in the yard, well away from the fence.

Appears too good to be true, and it is. In the heat of chasing a moggy, a dog, or another animal, dogs high in prey with a high pain threshold often don't honour the fence and break thru.

The dog is then faced with a quandary : Now that his adrenaline has worn off, he cannot get into the fenced area for fear of getting surprised. Another potential drawback is that when the fence works as it's meant to, it keeps your dog in the yard, but it does not keep other dogs or kids out.

It's no defense against bullies coming into your yard and picking on your dog, and it will not protect a female in season from undesirable suitors. Having an electric fence may make your dog scared of other dogs or assertive toward them. Keep a watch on him when he is out there, and do not leave him for extended periods without supervision.

Our dog is 7 months old now and can't figure out the potty training.What should we do?

We have had our dog since he was 2 months old. We've worked on potty training since the beginning, but he still can not figure it out. It seems like we have tried everything (bells,clicker,punishment, rewards). He goes potty when we take him out every few hours, so he knows he is supposed to go outside, but he can't figure out how to tell us. He accidents are about every few days. Please help us we are beginning to become frustrated with our dog.

A couple of things you may not have considered. Has he been to the vet to make sure he does not have a urinary problem? And, if he is not neutered, he may be beginning to mark territory.

If those are not the problem, have you tried to teach him a word (command) for go potty? I trained my dog to "better go now" and it was great. On rainy or cold days I would take him out and within a few seconds of me saying the command he did his business and we were back inside.
Also you could teach him to ring a bell or push one of those wireless battery door bells at the door to indicate he needs out. You can train him to touch the doorbell button with his nose or paw and reward him by letting him go out.
Take your dog out on a schedule, that is at the same times each day right after you feed him and right before bed.
At this point he may smell the pee if he is returning to the same area each time and he may be confused by the smell and think it is now OK to pee there. You may need to get the carpet cleaned...

I know it can be frustrating, but please don't give up on your dog. Consult a trainer if you have to, the money will be well worth it when you have a dog you can trust and be proud of.
