Miss Squeak Talks Visitors and Your Furbaby

Training a furbaby to behave when guests visit.
Have you ever loaned a favorite tool or item to a friend and when they return it, it is ruined? I hate to say it, but friends can also ruin all the training you do with your pup. Guests can overwhelm a puppy, they can frighten him, teach him bad habits, and even more, in doing this they can turn your pup into a dog that annoys you, even after the guests leave.

Speak up

Visitors can create problems without realizing it. Even friends who are “dog people” can create problems, so be aware. You will hear, “Oh, he is so cute, don’t worry we don’t mind him jumping up.” Yes, they may not mind now, but perhaps this is going to be a 50-pound plus dog in six months, mum lives with you and she is unsteady on her feet. So, we don’t want him jumping up.

Or a guest will tell you, “It’s okay, we love dogs – he is only a puppy.” Then they proceed to get him overexcited and he dashes around the house like a crazy man; throw rugs fly everywhere and the heirloom vase rocks on its pedestal. In all too short a time your dog will be more than a puppy and your guests are teaching him that this dashing around your home is acceptable behavior. In such instances, what do we do? Most of us smile in annoyed embarrassment because we want to tell them not to do this ... but they are guests.

Do yourself and your pup a favor. Tell them – nicely – that you are working on his manners and obedience, and if they don’t listen, put the pup in his crate or on a leash where he won’t learn to be naughty.

Be in control

Another scenario is the complete opposite. Your guests may not like dogs and could even be afraid of them. They prefer not to be greeted by your dog. By showing this nervousness they can create unwanted behaviors. The pup will recognize the body language and smell of those who are afraid and he may show fear, sometimes even giving a growl of uncertainty. Such behaviors can be made worse if we become annoyed with our guests, and frustrated with the pup. When this happens we are not in control either of the pup or ourselves, and that is when we make mistakes.

Even if we have a well-behaved pup and well-behaved guests we can create problems. When we have a nice pup and it has some cute behaviors, we try to demonstrate these to friends who come to visit. Naturally, we are proud of our new family member and want to show off a little. Socialization with new people is good for the puppy. However, once more there is a danger to keep in mind.

With friends present we want the pup to behave perfectly but the guests themselves are a big distraction. The pup may be overawed, nervous, excited, or cautious; in fact he may not behave at all like you thought he would. In this situation, attempting to control him can create additional unwanted behaviour.

Miss Squeaks Tips To Walk Your Furbaby !

Here are some  tips on how to walk your dog and own the dog walk. When I’m out with Miss Mildred , I often walk about 4 other dogs at a time, sometimes even at the dog parkI'm in a safe area. I own the walk and i don't let them misbehave. I am the boss and  is why my dogs follow.

1. Walk in front of your dog.

Walking in front of your dog allows you to be seen as the pack leader. Conversely, if your dog controls you on the walk, he’s the pack leader. You should be the first one out the door and the first one in. Your dog should be beside or behind you during the walk.

2. Use a short dog leash. 

This allows you to have more control. Attaching the leash to the very top of the neck can help you more easily communicate, guide, and correct your dog. If you need additional help, consider the dog leader collar. Always keep your dog's safety in mind when giving corrections.

3. Give yourself enough time for the dog walk.

Dogs, like humans, are set by the sun, so taking walks in the morning is great as they have more energy in the morning .  I recommend setting aside thirty minutes to a full hour. The specific needs of each dog differ. Consult your vet and keep an eye on your dog's behavior to see if his needs are being met.

4. How to reward your dog during the walk. 

After your dog has maintained the proper state of mind, reward him by allowing him to relieve himself and sniff around. Then you need to decide the  reward time is over. It should always be less than the time spent focused on the walk. I have a male dog that loves too wee on everything and it has taking a very long time to train him to keep this mind on the job even if he want to wee on that last tree I just redirect his attention to what i want him to do and that keeps him knowing I am the boss and its has become much 

more of  a  pleasure to walk him .

5. Keep leading, even after the walk.

When you get home, don't stop leading. Have your dog wait patiently while you put away their leash or take off your shoes.

6. Reward your dog after the walk. 

By providing a meal after the walk, you have allowed your dog to "sing for their supper" by giving them a job to do before you feed them 

And don’t forget to set a good example by always picking poo poo up  after your dog!

Miss Squeaks Tips To Challenge Your Furbaby .

Okay my fellow furbaby owners. Today I thought I would like to talk about a few things I do with my Miss Mildred to challenge her mind and not let her get bored and take it out on my shoes as I love my little furbaby but I also love my shoes and other girly things. So lets get started with a few tips .

Just like folks, dogs get tired of the same old everyday routine. Keeping them mentally challenged and constantly exposing them to new things is simply as necessary as taking them for walks and exercising them. Bored dogs develop damaging behaviours and take their negative energy out on things like your article of furniture.

Here are some artistic ways in which to stimulate your dog’s mind in order that they don’t get bored and misbehave. Work on a new trick

Every time you interact your dog in a coaching session, you are providing him with a mental challenge. Search around for brand spanking new tricks to work on. If you’re able to move past the essential commands, look at books, scan the net, and ask a trainer for concepts for brand spanking new tricks and coaching concepts.

“My dog, Miss Mildred just recently turned 6 months  old and I finally registered her in obedience faculty. it's modified each our lives. currently on days where I work her on new tricks and such, I even have noticed  that her temperament has calmed down. Challenging her mentally makes her a lot of less anxious generally and she has become more relaxed around different dogs. Miss Mildred is proof that previous dogs will undoubtedly learn new tricks.”Play with interactive games or toys along with your dog

Purchase a doggy parlor game or a canine puzzle to challenge your pup. interact your dog in a game of Dog Memory or Dog Dominos. give your dog one of the various toys that enable you to cover treats and objects within and interact your dog to work out how to work them out.

“This sounds silly however I bought this parlour game that I saw at the shop for my dog Miss Mildred and I to play together. I place treats beneath a peg and she has got to comprehend which of them to raise up so as to seek out wherever the treats are. there's another version wherever I hide the treats with this piece of plastic and Miss Mildred has got to spin the board around to uncover the treats. It really challenges her and I see her brain trying hard to working everything out.”Run errands together with your dog

Even a fast run to the mailbox, a trip at a friend’s house, or a spin through the car wash will place your dog face to face with a range of stimulants.

“Even simply taking Miss Mildred for a car ride or to the car wash is stimulating for her. She gets to envision lots of completely different sights and sounds and experience new things. she loves going and gets so excited. and i will see her brain operating because it takes it all in. And once we come home, she falls right asleep, even though it wasn’t physically taxing.”

Give your dog a job to do. 

Dogs are bred to complete tasks such as hunting and herding. When they aren’t able to fulfil  these types of duties, they can get restless. Engage your dog in a game of Frisbee. Get him involved in a sport like agility or Fly ball. Take him for a long walk, hike, or swim. Find jobs that  your dog’s breed. If you have a retriever, for example, nothing will leave it more satisfied than a hearty game of fetch.Introduce your dog to new faces

Every time your dog meets a brand new person or fellow canine, they're introduced to new sights, sounds, and butts to smell. Taking you pup to places just like the dog park can offer him or her with ample chance to have interaction their senses.

"I frequently take Miss Mildred  to the dog park, that she fully loves Mildred constantly meets new friends there and finds individuals to smell and get patted by. This has really made her listen better, less anxious and actually more happy." 

Give them new toys and rotate out the previous ones You wouldn’t wish to play with the same thing on a daily basis would you? Then you shouldn’t expect your furbaby to still love a similar toy that she’s had for months. offer her a toy to play with for a couple of days and after they grow bored of it, replace it with another one.

“ Miss Mildred  has such a large amount of toys however still gets bored. It’s ridiculous! i'm constantly bringing new toys into the house however she has a short attention span so they solely keep her diverted for a minute. we started keeping all of her  toys in a basket within the closet and rotating them out. She has so many currently and we’ll change up a replacement toy with one that she’s had for days which she could have forgotten about. She loves this and whenever we switch them up, Miss Mildred is simply as excited as when she gets a brand new toy.”

Common Mistakes Dog Owners Make !

    ..Common Mistakes Dog Owners Make..

Here are a few common mistakes dog owners make without even knowing that they are doing so. I hope some of my tips help you out with your fur baby. Lets start now !

Tip 1 Letting Your Dog Walk You

A poorly trained dog will pull you over while you’re out for a stroll. according to the authority, tens of thousands of individuals end up within the ER each year attributable to pet-related falls. several of those falls occur throughout walks -- either once someone trips over a dog or is force or pushed by one. specialists say obedience coaching is the best way to certify your pooch doesn’t take you down throughout the morning walk.

Tip 2 Not neutering or Spaying Your Pet

Millions of cats and dogs live on the road or find themselves  euthanised due to unwanted litters. Still, many folks are reluctant to unsex or neuter their pets. the actual fact is, neutering and spaying could be a healthy alternative for your pet. It reduces the danger of breast cancer in females and testicular cancer in males. castrated  males also are less probably to run away from home, mark their territory, or exhibit aggressive behaviours.

Tip 3 Keeping the Food Bowl Full

With the best intentions, some individuals keep their pets' food bowls full at all times. this can be one amongst the foremost common mistakes pet owners create. the matter is that cats and dogs typically eat more than they need. If food is consistently accessible, they're going to absorb too many calories and placed on an excessive amount of weight. To avoid this, follow the suggestions on the pet food label or ask your vet for guidance.

Tip 4 Not socializing Young Pets

It's important to supply puppies with positive human interaction throughout their initial seven weeks of life. This includes handling and play that fosters trust in folks. honorable breeders can begin this interaction, and you'll be able to continue the method after you bring your pet home. To develop a powerful bond, play along with your new puppy each day.

Tip 5  Setting No Rules

Some folks expect their pets to understand right from wrong while not being told. however human rule doesn't come naturally to dogs and cats. you wish to create it clear that jumping up on folks, scratching the piece of furniture, and peeing on the carpet are unacceptable. Be consistent regarding the house rules, and reward your pets for good behaviour. If you would like guidance, consult a trainer promptly

Tip 6 Scolding Pets for "Accidents"

If you come home to find a puddle of pee on the ground, you'll have the urge to yell at your pet. however animal behavior specialists say this can do no good in the least. The transgression took place within the past, and your dog or cat will not grasp why you're yelling. a far better strategy is to praise your pets straightaway once they do their business wherever they are supposed to.

Tip 7 Providing insufficient  Attention

Just like youngsters, your pets can get bored if you do not play with them. and boredom will result in hard behaviors like chewing, digging, barking, and whining. Bored dog could resort to scratching and excessive barking Fight boredom by concealing treats for your pets to search out round the house. give toys your dog will chase.
