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.

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.

​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.

Obedience Schools

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.
