What To Do If Your Dog Fights For Attention

4/30/2017

If you have more than one dogs, they may eventually fight for your attention. Have you ever been petting on of your dogs and then the other or others just seem to rush into that attention and eventually want to be petted even more than the other? Well, I know for sure I have. I have two very jealous dogs who think that they should fight to see who gets the most tickles and rubs. Sometimes the smaller dog tries to even bully the larger dog into moving away for her to get all my hands. But on my occasions I have to give her a time out when she tends to get too aggressive. Now, let's us look at a few of my techniques I use on my dogs when they fight for attention.

1. I Pet by Turns
This may be surprising to many dog owners, but you can actually train your dogs to wait their turn to be petted. Once you start the process of just petting your pet, you will find that all dogs come running for that cuddle and love at the same time. what I normally do is address the dogs by their names first and then I do the petting. So I would say venom and them begin to pat and scratch my dogs fur. Then when I am through with that dog I will call the name of my second dog Nica and begin the pet and patting. After continuously following the same method, i realize that the dogs begin to listen for their names to see who first will be petted!

2. Place Them On Both Sides
Well, this will surely work if you only have two dogs, anymore than that and you will probably have to grow a third or fourth hand. So here goes. Place one dog on your left, one on the right and then use both your hands to pet them at the same time.  What sometimes happen is that your dominant side may overpower your other side (Lefty or Righty) and as such one dog may just get a little bit more out of that petting. But if this is the case, all you have to do is interchange from time to time.

3. Give The Aggressive Dog a Time Out
If your dog gets to the point where he begins to rattle roughly with the other dog for your attention, he/she may just need to get some time out. But don't make it look like he is being punished. Simply and gently talk to your dog discouraging the behavior while leashing him. Then pet him while on leash and then return to the other dog and pet that dog. If the dog barks and het wiled up while on leash when you try to pet the other dog you have to give him strong "No" commands to teach him to stop.

Dogs just like us humans lobe to be taken care of and loves who takes care of them. They can become jealous for our attention and that jealousy and be a bit overboard sometimes. Train your dog using the steps above so he/she realize that they don't have to be jealous and will get a share of your love.

How To Train Your Dog To Cross The Road

Dog Crossing Road in Tel-Aviv
Ok, so maybe many of you think that you won't be sending your dog out to buy some groceries or get his own doggy treats at the store anytime soon. But training your dog to cross the road doesn't necessarily mean that you will not be there alongside your dog when he/she is crossing the road. As a matter of fact, many people who have to traverse with their pets realize that they may have to walk several distances after parking and will just ending up crossing several roads with their dogs. So what does one actually do to train their dog to cross the road to practice dog road safety? Well, let's take a look.

Teach Dog Road Safety
If you have any pet that you walk with from time to time, road safety must be an integral part of your dogs training. When you train your dog to cross the road you will find it to be very fulfilling.  This type of training teaches your dog discipline and not to be too distracted by other animals such as cats and other dogs when making a cross. Some untrained dogs may try to dash across the road on the sight of other dogs and cats and you may not be strong enough to hold him back with the leash.

Teach Dog Not To Be distracted

Well, this lesson is not gonna be a walk in the park as teaching you dog to be focused is a very daunting task especially when he sees so many things happening around him. So let's say you are at the crossing waiting to get to the other side with your dog. You dog then sees a stray dog dash across the road. His curiosity peaks and he starts barking and looks like he is just about ready to make a dash himself.  When you see this, call upon the dogs name and let him refocus, point to the stop sign and say "Wait" several times to the dog.  If he is excited and still barking his head off, give the command "Stop or No" to have him settle down. Then when it is time to cross the road, Say "Go" and point to the direction of crossing. Do not let your dog cross out of the designated pedestrian crossing at any time. Teach him to stay within the lines.

Teaches the Dog Discipline
One thing the dog must have before even venturing out on the road is some sort of discipline. You must have full control over your pet before you decide to go roaming outdoors. Full control doesn't mean you place the animal inside a strap Jacket and pull him along in a trolley. It simple means that the animal must acknowledge you as the boss dog and obeys the commands you give him. Commands such as "Stop, Come, Stay, Wait." Those are the basic dog training commands.


Training Your Dog To Cross The Road Techniques Summarized:
  1. Ensure you have control over the dog
  2. Have your dog focus on the crossing and not other things
  3. Ensure that the leash is firmly gripped in your hands
  4. Have the dog acknowledge when it is time to cross the road
  5. Cross the Road Safely With Your Dog.

Why Your Dog Is Not Playing

Dog Not Playing
We know that dogs love to run, bark, and of course play.  Some dogs will actually do that more than other dogs, well, it all depend on the breed of course. But if you know you have an active and playful dog breed such as my shipoo, and notice that your dog is simply reluctant to be active or play, it could be one or more issues. Let's take a look.
Dog is Tired
Some dog owners leave their dogs all day with so much activities to do. They have the entire home to run skip, jump and bite. They are filled with dog toys of all sorts and can pick, choose, and refuse. When the owners leaves work and comes home late at nights, all the poor dog wants to do is just cuddle and sleep. A tired dog simply will not have the energy to play.

He Hates Those Toys
If your dog is not playing with his toys it could mean it's time to visit the doggy store to change those boring toys. Dogs like things it can toss, move, bite and run with. Buying a dog a Barbie doll will not get your dog as active and playful as you would like.

Feeling ill
How would you feel if you are having a pitch high fever and someone keeps tossing a ball at you to catch? Well it is the same feeling your dog would have if he is feeling any form of illness. Your dog could have a fever, physical disability or in some sort of pain. Ensure that you gently check your dog’s body for cuts and bruises. Gently press on joints and other pressure areas and see if it pains your pet. If it does, it is vet time.

Dog Not Playful
Well, not all fast cars are built the same. This can be the same for playful dogs. A dog breed would consider to be a playful breed but that dogs’ individual character says otherwise. A dog is a special animal capable of developing character other than the norm. If you have a special character dog, WOW!

Dog Depression
Depression takes away a whole lot of a person and a dog too. Depressed dogs will simply lack luster and will not be interested in doing anything much. A depressed dog will just lie around all day and will barely even eat much less play.  If you believe your dog is suffering from depression, you will need to have the animal diagnosed by a professional so he can be treated and get back to his playful self.
