Maltese barks at everything; can anything help?

Question: My 3-year-old Maltese barks at anything and anyone. It makes our neighbors crazy, as well as my wife and myself. What shall we do? — Bradford

Answer: Barking can be really annoying. Your dog may be barking just for fun because she is understimulated; because she is scared; or for your attention. Most often, dogs bark at everything in sight because they are scared and defensive.

There are easy solutions regardless of your dog’s motivation for barking.

1. Block off the windows and doors including the back of the sofa where she probably plants herself to look out of the window. This way, she won’t be able to see the stimuli outside.

2. Distract her when she is barking so that she can engage in something else. You can call her to you or send her to her bed. Make sure to reward her for this behavior so that she has a competing motivation.

3. Make it clear that barking is not acceptable by ignoring her when she barks at you for attention. In other words, if you don’t like barking, you shouldn’t reward her with petting, freedom to go outside or a treat when she is barking at you.

4. Keep her busy with puzzle toys, and exercise her well.

A long-term solution would include meeting with a qualified behavior professional to make a plan for your dog so that you can change her emotional state and stop the barking entirely.

The Easiest Way to Dress up your Pet

Besides getting your dog wearing several outfits like collars, sweaters and so on, T-shirts are the easiest in wearing. On the other hand, not many people are aware that dogs and even cats wear clothes but this is normal to most European countries and others in the world. If one is naive concerning this, he or she may wonder how this happens starting from making your pets get familiar and know how to wear such clothes. T-shirts for pets do not involve many things like buttoning thus making them much simpler to wear.

There are so many shops and boutiques selling all the clothes for pets but in most cases, it is very rare to get large stocks for t-shirts for big dogs since the manufacturers consider making them on order. For the few dog t-shirts available in the shops customers have to hurry in order to catch up with the long queues so that they can meet their high demands for them. When dressing up your dog with the t-shirts, they look great since most of them are not too frilly and this is one of the best ways of making the wardrobe for your dog to grow.

Having known that t-shirts for big dogs are essential to your pets, then it is wise to take an option of enlarging your wardrobe with these t-shirts and other outfits. The manufacturers of these t-shirts, they make them in various designs, style, colors and sizes so that they can meet all the demands of the customers plus taking care of the different sizes of the pets. What the customers need to do us for them to get into the stores and peruse all the types of t-shirts are available and then make the right decision. To mention some of the t-shirts for big dogs include; scribbled Merry Christmas Dog T-shirts, Cutie Pie Large Dog T-shirts and so on. Find many Pet supplies at formybestpal.com.

Types of Dog Carriers for Small Dogs

Dog carries for small dogs are great when you want to travel with your dog or love to keep your dog by your side wherever you go. It is important that you get the right dog carrier, as there are many available in the market to choose from.

Smalls dogs tend to be livelier and restless as compared to larger dogs. So if the dog carriers are used properly, they can benefit both the dog and the owner in a number of ways. Transporting dogs in cars or vehicles can be dangerous if the dog keeps disturbing the driver, so it is best to buy a dog carrier to keep both the driver and the dog safe while traveling or on the move.

Dog carriers for small dogs are widely available in any design and shape so buy the right one. You will need to consider many different things such as space, material and durability of the carrier. This is because it can affect how safe and comfortable your dog is in the carrier.

You will find small dog travel carriers, strollers and purses in the market. The travel carriers are best if you want to take your dog with you when you are traveling by plane or car, as they are easy to carry and are very durable. The strollers are great if you want to take your dogs in events where there will be many people. You can easily keep your dog safe during the event. Whereas the dog purses are best if you want to take your dog for a walk in large crowds, because purses can easily be turned into leashes and harnesses for your dog to move about.

So when you are out and about, why not take your dog with you as they would defiantly love some fresh air with the help of these dog carriers.

Little by Little, More Police Officers Being Trained to Deal With Dogs

By Pets Adviser, Pets Adviser

Surprisingly few police departments offer any notable training for officers in dealing with dogs they encounter on the job. But that's beginning to change.

Distemper extremely contagious, worse for puppies

Question: My neighbor got a new puppy and the puppy came over and played with our dog. It was a very cute puppy but it soon got sick and was sneezing. They brought it to a vet and it was given antibiotics for kennel cough. A couple weeks later it started to have seizures and the vet said it had distemper. They had to put it to sleep! My dog has been around this puppy a lot. Is my dog going to get sick? –Naomi

Answer: I am sorry to hear about your friend?s puppy. Distemper is a viral infection that can result in severe symptoms including death. The virus first attacks the respiratory cells and the dog has a runny nose with sneezing and coughing.

It is often impossible to tell the difference between distemper and the many other viruses and bacteria that can cause ?kennel cough?. Many dogs will seem to improve but the distemper virus is marching deeper. It attacks all the epithelial cells in the body. The dog may then get pneumonia. The nose and feet may grow thick hard calluses. The dog may have trouble swallowing or eating and can spike a high fever.

As the virus continues to replicate it will reach the brain and nervous tissue. The dog may develop seizures. Seizures may become almost constant and severe.

Dogs can shed virus for weeks to months. The distemper virus in an enveloped virus and is easily killed in the environment. It dies rapidly once outside of the body. Droplets or ?nose to nose? contact generally transmits it. Simple cleaning will kill the virus.

Vaccination is extremely effective at preventing infection. If your dog is up to date on his vaccinations, he should stay healthy. If he has not been vaccinated, he is in great danger of getting distemper infection. It is best to get a distemper vaccine booster as soon as possible. Since your dog was exposed to distemper, it may be best to have him vaccinated with a recombinant distemper vaccine. The advantage of this vaccine is that it will not interfere with testing for an active distemper infection.

While most puppies die from distemper virus, adult dogs have a chance at survival.
Adult dogs have a better immune system and can sometimes rally enough antibodies to fight off the infection in time.

It is always best to quarantine a new dog or puppy for two weeks before introducing them to other dogs. New puppies can be incubating a number of bacterial and viral illnesses. Make sure all puppies and dogs are up to date on vaccines. Many of the worst infections are preventable by vaccination.

Summer Dog Shoes and Sandals

It is the time of year again where everywhere the pouch travels the pavement or ground is hot! Dog?s paws and pads are especially vulnerable during the hot summer months and having the sensitive paws protected is especially important for dog that are traveling on hot pavement, sand or ground.

Summer dog shoes include a variety of styles this year with everything to choose from which include styles for indoors and outdoors. The shoes are breathable for summer and include the extra reinforcement around the toe, sides and heel which helps to protect the dog?s paws from abrasions and blistering.

For indoors, the shoes are ideal to help the dog from slipping on tile and floors, and to help protect furniture from the dog?s nails. For dog?s that like to swim in pools with liners, the dog shoes are a great protection from the dog?s nails as well.

To measure the pouch?s paws simply trace tightly around one front paw and one back. You will then be asked by the site the measurements or to fax the traced paw print to the company.
