Dog Pee Killing Plant
So you have just finished your beautiful flower garden. Your little seedlings have grown and you are quite happy to see their elegance and beauty. Then while sitting and beaming at the beauty of your work your canine pal just comes right along and sprays the best flower in your garden with urine. Say what? Yes, apparently your dog does not see a flower garden the way you do and simply sees it as a part of his territory which needs to be marked. But this can have devastating effects on your plants, here is why.

What's In A Dog's Urine.
The concentration of urea in your dog is way too much for plants and grass to handle. The urine also contains potassium and salt which can have negative effects on your plants and grass, but the read deal is the nitrate in the dogs urine which is devastating to plant life. When dog's pee, especially large male dogs, the volume tends to be plenty, while of course smaller dogs will have less urine. Female dogs normally tend to pee in one location while male dogs will pee in several locations for territorial reasons. Male dogs also tend to pee standing up which causes the urine to be deposited directly on plants and can easily soak to roots and kills the plant.
What to Do To Prevent Dog Peeing on Plants

1. Fence Your Flowers
This is basically the quickest and easiest way to prevent your dog from destroying your beautiful flowers with its super urine. Fences can be a bit unattractive in flowers gardens, but if designed and installed the right way, it can bring a bit of sophistication to your garden. Just way your immediate options here; Dog pee kills plants, or build a fence to block dog pee and save plants?

2.Create a Designated Dog Pee Area
If you have ever sat and notice how male dog tends to pee, they like to pee on things they thing are growing, things upright and protruding from the earth. Get one or two stakes and drive them into the ground in an area where if the pee is concentrated there it will not cause a problem to you or neighbors.  Block off all other access to plants and your dog will begin to use the wooden stake as the pee spot.

3. Wash Off Dog Pee Immediately From Areas
If you are able to, you need to wash off the animals pee immediately off plants, walls and any other area you don't wish your dog to be peeing. If you leave the urine on any of those areas, the dog will come back and pee in that same area again because it has left it's mark there before.

4. Tell The Dog No! if You See Him Peeing Where He Should Not
Say no to the animal if you catch him peeing in places where he should not. The dog will stop and find somewhere else to go pee. But you must ensure that there is a place other than your nice tomato garden available for your dog to go relieve itself. 

5. Call The Pee Whisperer.
If all else fails, you may just need to call in a dog pee whisperer. I mean a dog trainer who can help train your dog to pee in designated pee areas and save your flowers and tomatoes from a volcanic explosion of Urine.​
Conclusion
Remember the main focus is saving your plants. But at the end of the day if your dog has to go it just has to go. Try creating an environment which is conducive for growing your plants and vegetables and an area where your dog can pee with a smile and everyone will live happily ever after.

Why Dogs Love To Lay Under Cars

Dog Lay Under Car
My Dog Venom Laying Under The car
​Dogs will do quite a few things which let you wonder what's next. They dig holes, bury covers, slippers and anything they deemed to be some sort of mysterious treasure. Dogs will find that little special place in the home to call their own. And that maybe the right place for you to place their doggy bed if you have an indoor dog. For me, I don’t have a doggy bed, my two dogs are outdoor dogs and there is an open garage which they take for their own, so basically they have an entire room to themselves. They are cool, safe from the elements of life such as the sun and rain. But one thing for sure is that no matter where I decide to park the car in the yard, whether it be in the garage or out in the grass, my dogs will snuff out that cozy little area under the car. I have watched them do this for years and  have come to the conclusion of why dogs love to lay under cars.
  1. It makes them feel protected
    For some reason, the dogs will crawl under the car and look out and watch all the feet pass them by. They lie under there looking and watching, saying in their little doggy minds, “You van’t catch me” Sometimes they don’t make a sound until they hear or see there food plates, then they do a little bit of spider man technique and flatten themselves and scuffle from under the vehicle and bolt to the food plate in anticipation of some yummy raw dog food. 
  2. It Provides Shade for Them
    I guess my open garage is just not enough shade for my tow dogs Venom and Nica. They just want that cool are under the car that seems to block out heat. They have an entire garage to themselves, yes they do sleep in there often, but once the car is parked in the garage, they will find the bottom of that car to be their bed area. 
  3. They Love the Smell of Car Part
    What else can I say, my dogs just dig the fact that sometimes I have moving mechanical parts and those parts do give off a particular scent that may be pleasing to the dog. It may be the same way in which some people just love to smell rain or even love the smell of petrol pumping at the gas station.
  4. They hate my home made dog food recipes
    I have been giving my dogs a variety of foods, sometimes when I can’t afford to by dog food I will get my doggy chef hat on and begin making them something yummy. Sometimes I have chicken skins left over and I will visit the local meat shop and beg them meat scraps. Those scraps will consist of chicken or goat liver, or grounded cow intestines. I will whip up some meat, seasoned and part done alone with a little rice and sometimes a bit of corn meal. Maybe they think my cooking sucks and is just laying under my car to end their torture
  5. They Are hunting Cats
    Sometimes when our neighbors cats trespass and hop from fence to fence into others people backyards the dogs in my home and around the community will go wild. They will run, bark and do all sort of acrobatics while the cat simply sits on the fence looking down on them smiling. But of course, dogs are smart and they will have their revenge, part of that is to hunt the cat and make the cat believe no dogs are home and then spring a surprise beating

​My fellow pet owners, tell my what do you think. Do your dog/s always lie under the car? Are they cat hunting? Really, what do you think?

American Bulldog Training
American Bulldog Training
American bulldogs are loyal and lovable and are very suitable as a family pet. These dogs are quite intelligent but they can also be stubborn and light headed. This may lead to a few problems in training. Knowing about their quirks will allow you to train them well to make them more obedient. Those who have no experience with the breed  may get a little frustrated with training these dogs. Often this may lead to yelling or anger which will definitely not help you or your canine counterpart. If you are having too many problems training then it is best to get help from a professional trainer who has experience working with the breed.

Obedience Schools

Obedience schools for American bulldogs are not only for amateur owners. In fact, a large number of dog owners who have stubborn pets tend to take help from professional trainers to retrain even adult dogs for breaking habits. A professional trainer may work with your pet alone or introduce it to other breeds to help them socialize better. They can train your pet to teach it about your position as the master if you are dealing with a stubborn puppy. You may not even be aware that you are being submissive instead of dominating to the pet. These dogs will respond well to environment where there are other dogs learning.

Socializing Your Dog

Another important aspect of training American bulldogs is socializing them. These dogs will need to socialize right from an early age so that they are not aggressive or reserved around strangers. If you are taking help from a professional trainer then the trainer would help socialize the pet. These dogs have a natural strong hunting instinct and for that reason they may be aggressive towards other pets if they are not socialized well. It may not be able to be friendly towards other dogs if it has not been trained well.

Training the breed will require some dedication and patience but you will definitely find it all worth it. A well trained pet will be protective and loyal to your family. These dogs are very intelligent though they may be stubborn. They are very much capable of obeying and learning if you work with them consistently. The breed loves to please the owners so they will definitely do everything they can to please you and follow your commands once it has been trained. Fortunately, there are a lot of resources available today on training this breed and you may even ask for suggestions and guidance from the breeder where you purchase the puppy from. If nothing else works out you can always rely on professional trainers for American bulldogs.
