Saint Bernard Dog: The Great Rescuer Barry

Dogs are great rescuers. We all know that, but some of them are
better at the job than others. What could be nobler than saving
lives. Barry, who lived and made history between 1800 and 1814,
was one of the greatest rescue dogs the world has ever seen.
Barry was a Saint Bernard dog who earned worldwide fame for the
brave rescue operations he carried out during his lifetime. His
painting by Salvatore Rosa still hangs in a hospice in the Alps
of Switzerland.

Saint Benard dogs have such a keen sense of smell that they can
smell out people burried deep in the snow. Barry, like other
Saint Bernard dogs, was trained by the monks to rescue lost
travelers in the Alps. The Bernards, on finding a man to be
recued, lie on top of the person and start licking his face to
wake him up. Simultaneously they bark out aloud calling the
monks for assistance, hearing which the monks would come with a
stretcher and warm blankets to keep the person warm. The fellow
is then taken to the monastry and is served warm tea and food.

Barry was an expert rescue dog well versed with the rescue
drill and amongst his famous rescue adventures there is this
famous story about a young boy who was found stranded on an icy
ledge, all covered with thick snow under an ongoing, heavy
snowfall. It was not possible for any man to climb that icy
ledge, but Barry braving all adversity crawled inch by inch to
the injured boy. As the drill has it, Barry started licking the
boy's face but the snowfall was too heavy and the ledge too
difficult to climb for any monk to reach the boy. So, there was
no help coming. The boy, however, woke up due to Barry's warm
licks and wrapped his arms around Barry's strong neck. The dog
pulled him carefully and bravely from the ledge and brought him
to safety.

It is just one of the many gallant rescue stories of this great
rescuer Saint Bernard. He lived from 1800 to 1814 and saved more
than 40 lives in his lifetime.

Training Dogs: Tips On Breaking Bad Pet Habits

You want a nice, disciplined dog, who doesn't chew on anything
and everything in the sight and doesn't deafen you with his
needless barks. These are one of the most common dog problems
and can be really irritating at times. They can, however, be
corrected by proper training. Here are a few effective ways of
bringing in correction in your dog's habits:

Barking
Barking come naturally to them, and what use is a dog that
doesn't even bark. However, at time dogs overdo it and keep
barking without a reason and sometimes even after their barks
have been taken cognizance of and the offending element removed.
Then, it is high time he had his lessons in "barking habits."

Most often dogs bark to tell the owner what they feel he must
know, like an intruder, any unusual moving object, any unusual
activity or sound. They feel that it is important for them to
inform you at the earliest. This kind of warning bark is
perfectly alright, but if your dog keep barking even after
having been told not to, he needs to be trained about it.

In such situations take a squirt bottle filled with water, and
every time the dog barks unnecessarily squirt the liquid right
in his face after telling him not to bark in a loud "No". The
liquid or the squirt wouldn't harm the creature but he wouldn't
like it and would get the message eventually. This is
disciplinary action and must be adopted only when the dog
doesn't respond to your verbal commands. Keep it as a second
option and not the first.

Chewing
Chewing is not only destructive but is potentially dangerous to
the dog as well, because they might ingest pieces of plastic or
wood or any other harmful object that could block their
intestines, which could be life threatening. Puppies' chewing is
acceptable because that's part of teething, but if the habit is
retained into adulthood, it needs to be corrected.

It is better to start early. So, you need not wait till the dog
grows up to teach him not to chew on things that are not meant
for his chewing. The strategy for the pup as well as for the dog
remain the same. Get some toys for the dog to chew on, and train
him to restrict his chewing to them. Watch him carefully and if
he chews on things other than his chew toys, look into his eyes
at close quarters and say in a loud voice, "No!" and then offer
one of his chew toys. He would get the message as to what has to
be chewed on and what not.

Begging for food
Never give the dog to eat from your dinner table or your plate.
Make him learn that he gets nothing by begging for food but gets
to eat at the proper time. And if, unfortunately you already
have a dog who has such a habit lock him up in another room
while you eat.

You want dogs to behave well, but good behaviour is not
something one is born with. One-- be it a human or a dog-- has
to learn to behave. So, right training is the key.

Treating Bladder Stones in Dogs With Diet

Dogs are very prone to developing bladder stones. This disease
in dogs is very much like the bladder stones that are suffered
by humans. In dogs, certain minerals block the flow of urine in
the urethra, causing pained exertion of liquid wastes. These
solidified minerals are alternatively called uroliths, stones,
or calculi.

Dogs with bladder stones may develop cystitis, a condition
wherein their urinary bladder gets inflamed, all because of the
small stones present in the dog's urinary tract. These small
stones can be made up of calcium oxalate, struvite, cystine
calculi, and ammonium urate.

Once these small stones form in the urinary tract of your dog,
your pet would show the symptoms of the disease. Such symptoms
are frequent urination, decreased amount of urine, and
straining. You may also see blood in your pet's urine every now
and then. Male dogs are more likely to be affected by bladder
stones because of their narrow urethras.

There are different ways to treat bladder stones in dogs.
However, the proper treatment is carried out only after the
veterinarian had found out what type of stones had formed in
your dog's urinary tract. As stated earlier, there are many
types of stones that could possibly form. And each of those
stones requires a different set of treatment strategy.

Bladder stones can be treated with the right diet.
Veterinarians may prescribe an acidic diet so that the dog's
urine would have a higher pH level. At that state, the bladder
stones would get dissolved and the dog would be cured
eventually.

There are also certain dog foods that are especially created to
treat bladder stones in dogs. Your veterinarian would know if
these foods are going to be helpful to your pet or not. It is
very hard to give dogs acidic juices or the fresh juices of
fruits. But if the foods are scientifically prepared to contain
the needed acids, it becomes much easier to feed them to your
pet. Of course, it is also important to give your dog the
proteins and the nutrients it needs to sustain life.

However, the treatment of bladder stones through diet is only
effective for struvite uroliths. These are the type of stones
that can easily be dissolved with acids. But even so, it would
take several weeks to more than two months before the diet would
prove to be effective and potentially treat your dog. Surgery is
still the best way to treat bladder stones in dogs. Ask the help
of a qualified veterinarian to determine whether this treatment
process is the best one for your pet. Otherwise, you have to
submit your pet to other treatment procedures that would remove
the stones in its bladder in the shortest time possible.

Dogs with bladder stones tend to become irritated, excrete less
amount of urine but do it very frequently, and exhibit pain
while urinating. If you observe your dog to be suffering from
these symptoms, it is best that you take your pet to the
veterinarian right away for proper diagnosis.

The Basics Of Dog Crate Training

Dog crate training is important for a dog and a puppy and
you'll realize that it's worth the time and the effort that you
devote to it. Crate training a dog may take from day to weeks
depending on the age of your dog, past experiences and
temperament. It is necessary to provide your dog a crate that
she can use throughout her lifetime. This serves as your dog's
haven. Dogs do have the right to privacy too, therefore crate
training your dog is very important. As an owner, you have to
limit the access while it is off leash until the house rules are
learned.

Crates are made of plastic or metal. They come in different
sizes that would suit your dog. Make sure that the crate is
large enough to allow your dog so stand and even turn around.
Crates can satisfy the need of the dog for an enclosure. This
may reduce the anxiety of separation as well as destructive
behavior while keeping your dog away from danger at the same
time. It is also convenient and can be a mobile indoor house for
your dog when you are traveling by plane or by car. However, it
is recommended to avoid plane travel for dogs.

Do not associate the crates as a means of punishment for the
dog. Rather, you portray a crate that is a pleasant place for
your dog to stay. For crate training your dog puppy, you can
place toys and other dog treats. You can also drop some kibble
or biscuits in to the crate until such time that your dog walks
calmly towards the food, you can use this treat as the crate
training your dog dog treat. If the dog is not interested with
the treats, you can toss in a toy inside. Balls and toys must be
large enough that they will not be able to swallow them. Dog
crate training allows your puppy to discover some edible
treasures. You have to pet and praise your puppy once they are
inside the crate to make them feel good and that they will not
feel that is some sort of a punishment.

After you have already introduced the crate to your dog, start
feeding them near the crate if the dog seems to be reluctant
entering to the crate. Place the dish far enough that the dog
will go readily without feeling anxious or fearful. Once your
dog is comfortably standing inside, you can gently close the
door while they are eating. When it is the first time that you
let your dog eat inside the crate, open the door immediately
after the dog finished eating the meal. This would most likely
associate a pleasant signal for the dog crate training. If you
find your dog whining to be released from the crate, you might
have taken the length of time too long in a very quick pace. The
best thing to do is to leave them in the crate for a lesser
period of time. If she whines, only open the door the moment she
stops whining. This will give her the idea that whining does
nothing and that it's not the way to get out. Crate training
dogs can be a little stressful at initial stages of the
training, but the rewards will be immense once your dog learns
to retreat to his safe heaven when he or you need time out.

Common Dog Training Mistakes You Want To Avoid

I know that you do not want your dog to end in the proverbial
cage. And no dog wants to be there, too. Dogs are loving animals
characterized by their constant need for attention and craving
to please their masters. As pack animals, dogs feel a sense of
completeness and fulfillment if they have pleased the master of
the pack. And you, as the dog owner, are what they see as their
pack's leader so you are responsible for training dogs, too.

So many people make the mistake of yelling at their dogs and
hurting them. As a dog owner, the first thing you must realize
is that hurting your pet will not result in the trained dog that
you want. So let us all do away with the sanction type of
behavior modification.

The best time to start dog training is when it is still young,
that is, it is still a puppy. Postponing the puppy training,
believing that puppies cannot understand training just yet, is a
simple mistake that results to huge unwanted behavior. Later on,
dog owners will realize that the puppy is growing and has
developed a stubborn behavior. The puppy won't cooperate anymore
and its behavior, which it has become used too, is just a
horrible experience to the entire household.

Another dog training mistake a dog trainer or dog owners do is
tolerance and not paying the attention required to their dogs.
If you see your dog munching on your slippers, you have to
immediately tell it that what it's doing is unacceptable.
Tolerance, just like with humans, is a prelude to acceptance. It
is an indication that a certain behavior is considered as a norm
and not destructive. It is wrong for dog owners to assume that
dogs will later understand what is wrong or what is right.
Training and letting dogs know what is unacceptable or not
should start at the very onset of the action or behavior.

As I mentioned, dogs like pleasing their masters. During dog
training, whenever your dog does something good, you must let it
associate that action with good feelings or emotions. Many dog
owners and trainers do this by offering treats. This is not bad
and this is highly suggested since dogs like food. In the
absence of food, the kind of reward that you can offer is
praise. Dogs like high-strung voices that signify praises. Right
after a dog does something acceptable, praise it immediately,
pat its back, or cuddle it. The dog will then associate its
actions with the good emotion it felt.

Never make the mistake of neglecting good behavior. If a dog
does something good and was left unrewarded, the dog may not do
it anymore. This is very integral to training puppies as the
early stages of a dog's life are significant in training.

I think the last I want to include here is mis rewarding your
dog, if there is such a word. Sometimes, owners just cannot get
past the idea that their dog is cute when it does unacceptable
things like begging for food. So what they do is to give their
dog a scrap. This is a big mistake because you just let your dog
know that what it did—begging—is acceptable and resulted to the
very thing it wanted—food.

To avoid this from happening, you must let your household know
what you want to dog to learn. Training a dog is a collaborative
effort. Therefore, the goal should be shared by the family much
like the family does if there is a new baby at home.
