| answered a question | Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get my client's dog to quit marking all the furniture in the house? He is a really sweet loving dog and I want to keep watching him but I don't want him to ruin the furniture......? I suggest taking him for more frequent walks. So he will not have enough urine stored to mark. I also advise making a loud noise. Like saying no really loud, a large clap, a horn and taking him directly outdoors. 🐕 |

| answered a question | Why does my dog sit on me? Your dog may sit on you for affection, dominance, protection or it may even be because it's the most comfortable spot in the house! ! Affection:😍 Your dog may be simply happy to see you, for dogs in a pack it's a nice way to spend time together. Acceptance of their pack member. Dominance : 😠 Jumping on your lap and pawing at your legs. Your dog may try to claim a certain chair or spot. Snapping,or growling when you try to move him. Protection :💖 For some, as he sits on your lap or your feet he rubs some of his scent on you. You may notice fur on your nice pair of pants. But other dogs will pick up on his scent. Your pet is claiming you as his owner even when he can't go with you. |
| answered a question | What can I give my dog for bad breath? Establish a brushing routine with your dog (especially small dogs!). Try to brush at the same time everyday. Brush after walking and feeding when your dog is more relaxed ! Use a gentle circle motion with a toothpaste your dog may enjoy. Regular vet dentals are essential to remove build up that may cause bad breath. A vet will remove hard to reach areas of build up that a tooth brush will not reach. Regular dental care will keep your dog happy and healthy and will prevent tooth decay and painful extractions ! 🐶 |
