Behavior Problems in Dogs by pets.ca

I want to show a article which is very interesting for dog owner from dog behaviour point of view. The article deals dogs bheaviour very effectively. Read from yourself about that:

"There are many behavioral problems in dogs that leave us wondering: Why are they doing that? What are the causes and what can I do to stop such behavior? Some of the more frequently reported behavioral problems are described below.

Destructive behavior

Destructive behavior is one of the most common complaints from dog owners, and hence necessitates the most in-depth discussion. A dog quickly ceases to be ‘man’s best friend’ when he/she scratches up a prized rug, chews up a favourite sweater, or eats an expensive pair of shoes. Destructive behavior is due to many causes, including separation anxiety. Many owners are gone from the house for many hours during the day, and the result is that the dog has more opportunity to develop destructive behavior The problem with this is that owners come home and see the chewed object and will punish the dog at that time. The dog will not associate the act of destruction to the punishment because they will not understand exactly why you are upset. They will act ‘guilty’ because they know you are upset, but they will not associate your anger with their act of destroying the object. Therefore, do not punish a dog for its behavior unless you catch him in the act.

Another reason for destructive behavior is lack of environmental stimulation. Boredom may be a cause, or at least a contributing factor, especially in young or large dogs that do not receive adequate exercise. Dogs need environmental stimulation. Obtaining a second pet or providing interesting and interactive toys for the dog may help. For example, a hollow toy filled with solid treats or peanut butter encourages the dog to interact with the ball to get at the treats.

Finally, destructive behavior could also occur due to barrier frustration. This may result if the dog has been punished by being put in a closed room or into a fenced yard, or it may be caused by the presence of something very desirable on the other side of the barrier. In these cases, the dog will try hard to break through the barrier and may destroy the door frame or door knobs, for example.

To treat destructive problems, one must determine the exact cause of the behavior and remedy this cause accordingly. For example, a young dog that is chewing furniture but not doorways is mostly likely in need of more environmental stimulation. Increasing exercise, providing another animal companion, putting the radio on, decreasing anxiety, or giving chew toys only when the owners are away are other treatments.

Preventing such behavior from developing is always easier than trying to treat it afterwards. Puppy owners should avoid giving the puppy old shoes or a piece of rug to chew on because the animal will not be able to differentiate between an old sneaker and the new leather dress shoe. Dog toys should be provided, but they should be a type and texture that the dog can easily distinguish from forbidden objects. It is also a good idea to be consistent when presenting toys to the dog and make it obvious that the toy indeed belongs to the dog. Puppies should be left in their crate when the owners are gone...read more..."

"Do reptiles make a good pet?" From Articles

The articles was published in a UK major site that was for Pet related. It was a good topic and after the research and survey about dogs. The reference was from BBC news paper. Article is here in its original material:

"Recent news articles report a rise in the interest of keeping reptiles and amphibians as pets since the popular new BBC series presented by David Attenborough, Life in Cold Blood. Reptiles and amphibians are fascinating creatures, with an awesome diversity of strategies for adapting to their environment. Consequently they have exacting care requirements too, and buying them as pets on a whim can result in possible suffering and eventual catastrophe for owner and pet alike.

Shy creatures

The majority of reptiles are vulnerable to predators, and therefore quite shy. Holiday makers abroad will recollect that lizards are usually spotted darting from sight or freezing to minimise the risk of detection. Excessive handling can be detrimental to reptile welfare. Even larger snakes, such as the Ball Python, can suffer stress in captivity if they lack a hiding place.

Many reptiles are at least partially dependent on external heat sources, and also require UV-B light for metabolism of Vitamin D. Without light of the correct wavelength, healthy bones cannot be maintained. Novice owners may fail to appreciate the importance of correct lighting so, sadly, skeletal problems are very common in captive reptiles. They like a heat source for basking, but unless carefully selected and combined with correct ambient temperature, heat sources can produce serious burns.

So should you have a reptile as a pet?

Consider it carefully. You will need to do a great deal of research and be prepared to buy and regularly replace equipment, such as lights and heaters. Reptiles are not cats or dogs; your local vet is unlikely to have in-depth knowledge of reptile health...read more..."

Dogs Health and Information on Disease

About the dogs health a survey in the UK has been started. It was published in a news bbc.co.uk. According to its,

"More than 70,000 dog owners attached to 180 breed clubs are being asked to return information on disease, cause of death, birth defects, and other data.

The Kennel Club-backed survey will give the best picture yet of the frequency of breed-specific illnesses, such as the deafness seen in some Dalmatians.

It is hoped the data can then be used to develop new testing and breeding programmes to eliminate the conditions.

"Much of the information we have now is largely anecdotal," said Dr Jeff Sampson, the Kennel Club's canine genetics co-ordinator.

"The intention of the survey is to get - for the very first time - a real feel for the diseases that are out there and how frequently they occur.

"Breeders could then consider this information when selecting mates to put together and we would have a baseline against which we can measure improvements that might result from future health... Read More
