| answered a question | My pug likes to bark a lot, I need to fly with him soon, I need help on what can I do to stop his barking,? What helped my Maltese was having high quality treats around me at all times. For my dog, it was cheese. He would do anything for this treat. Anytime he sees a dog or person (regardless of how far away) give him a treat if he does NOT bark. If he always barks, wait 5 seconds after he stops barking and give him a treat. This will help him be more interested in you than in the other people or dogs around him. Overall, the goal is to make your dog more interested in you than in everyone else. Good luck! For me, this took a awhile for him to understand! |
| answered a question | Why do dogs eat their own puke? Also, usually when dogs throw up, they eat it to hide it (almost like embarrassment). Instead of making a big deal out of your dog throwing up, talk to them, pet them, and quickly clean it up. My dog will occasionally throw up because she is dehydrated, so be sure to get them fresh water. Another issue is eating too fast, which is when there is whole pieces of food in the vomit, and Laura is spot on when it comes to this! |
