Dog Behavior

Dogs are unable to talk just like we do, but we can still understand their feelings by observing their behavior and body language. It is compulsory that an owner is aware of his dog's body language, as it will not only strengthen their bond, but will also prevent tragic results where the owner is forced to abandon his dog due to behavior problems. In this category, there are questions relating to the different body languages of dogs, their behavior, etc.

No, it is not the owner's fault. Puppies explore the world with their mouths, and chewing is a natural behavior. The owner can redirect the behavior by providing appropriate chew toys and supervising the puppy to prevent further damage.

Asked by Wiki User

Groundhogs should be released at least 5 miles away from the trapping site to prevent them from returning. This distance ensures they are less likely to find their way back to their original territory.

Is a dog better than a cat for a girl?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It is my opinion, I think cats are better pets than dogs. They both are the cutest thing in the world and both have lost of things in common, but cats will not leave you ever! I had a cat and it died :( I was really sad about that. He was poisoned. When ever I was sad he was with me on my bed, kind of like asking me why I was sad. Now I only have 1 cat left. I hope he stays with us for a long time. But I know 100% they love us. When Nidya (the undead cat) leaves to go outside, when I call his name he comes running home. I love my cats....

What can happen if you force a puppies eyes open?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Forcing a puppy's eyes open will, at best, result in an eye infection, but more likely result in permanent blindness, so do not ever force their eyes open! They are born with their eyes shut for a reason, and they open when they do for a reason. 'Mother Nature' knows better than you when the puppy's eyes are ready to open, so leave them alone.

A newborn puppy's eyes should open after about 10 - 14 days, so if they aren't open by then, you need to contact your vet, because this could be a sign of serious illness or eye problems. But only your vet can determine this, and only your vet can safely open their eyes if necessary.

Submissive dog signs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Dogs are "pack" oriented; they have their own social structure and hierarchy from the leader (alpha male and alpha female) to lowest underlings. In socializing with other dogs they go through various rituals consisting of muzzle, genital, and butt sniffing, a general "feeling out" or introduction, before they establish a relationship and status.

Second, we need to look at communication.

Dog communication, besides vocalization (barks, growls, howls, etc.), consists of body language, positioning of ears, eyes, tail, and stance. For example, Dominant dog (head, ears, tail erect and direct eye contact) and a Submissive dog (ears and head down, tail low between the legs and no eye contact). These two are probably the most commonly recognized body languages and isn't much different than our own body language (except for the tail and ears). Other body "signals" that most dogs give before reacting are the raising of hackles, stare downs, fearful threats, defiant stance, and the T-bone.

Raised Hackles-

Hackles are the hair on the neck and back that are raised involuntarily in anger or flight.

Stare Downs-

Staring is always associated with dominance, usually followed by aggression.

Fearful Threats-

A slinky low posture with the tail between the legs and the ears rotated back to one side.

Defiant Stance-

Head, tail, and ears held high with a stiff body posture accompanied by a slow forward movement.

T-Bone-

Dominate gesture of placing the head over the shoulders of another dog.

Recognizing these types of body language will help you take action and avert any injury to your canine companion or yourself.

So what should you do when you observe these warning signs?

--Always watch your dog and stay close. When other dogs approach, observe how your dog reacts and how the other dog approaches your dog.

--Never let your dog play or stray too far away from you in case you need to intervene.

--Break the eye contact. Remember, staring is an act of dominance and is followed by acts of aggression. Divert or distract your dog by calling him to you, turning him away from the other dog, offering him a toy or a food treat.

--Lastly, react immediately. Don't wait to see the outcome, once you recognize the warning signals intervene and take action.

Following the warning signs and taking the appropriate course of action will make your life and yours dogs a lot safer and happier.

Do shock collars work on training puppies?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Shock collars are NEVER the way to train a dog, especially a puppy. Puppies are very sensitive to the world as it is; add an electric shock every time they perform a certain task and you will have, not a trained dog, but a dog that is insecure and, therefore, more likely to act aggressive. Shock collars are part of what is called negative reinforcement training, where something bad happens to the dog if they do not do what you want. Negative reinforcement teaches your dog to do what you want because they fear you. Positive reinforcement teaches your dog to do what you want because they get something good and they want to please you. Positive reinforcement is always the way to go with training. You and your dog will be much happier.
