Any dog guardian who truly understands their canin Any dog guardian who truly understands their canine companion knows that these animals are the most selfless and amazing creatures. Dogs routinely put their person’s wishes above their own needs. It’s this desire to please that is best demonstrated in the sport of agility where dogs are guided through a dog obstacle course such as jumps and weave poles in a particular order within an allotted timeframe. Dogs inherently want to please and agility training allows them to connect with their handlers at deeper level. Once a well-trained dog completes an obstacle, his/her head will turn to see where her owner is directing them next.

It is full of vigor and bounciness with very shiny fur. Add one or more random white splotches on the chest, feet or tip of the tail. Imagine that this dog is playful, athletic and that it has warm amber eyes. That picture in your head is a dog I’m sure to be drawn to. What can I say? I don’t know why this type is so appealing to me, but again and again dogs like this pull me in, even though I love all sorts of dogs. It’s not unusual for people to be drawn to a certain look, type of behavior or a combination of both, in a way that goes beyond just favoring a particular breed.

Dr. Lori Teller, a clinical associate professor at the Texas A&M College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences, says that diagnosis and treatment should always be handled by a veterinarian, but dog owners should still be informed on the nature of this condition to keep their furry friend in tip-top shape. “There are multiple causes of ear infections (otitis externa), including allergies (most common), ear mites, a foreign body (this can include polyps or neoplasia), excess hair in the ear canal, anatomic changes in the ear canal, excess moisture in the ear canal, injury, immune-mediated diseases, endocrine disease, and excessive cleaning,” Teller said. . . #dc #dmv #dog #dogboarding #doggo #doggydaycare #doglover #doglovers #dogoftheday #dogs #dogsitter #dogsofinsta #dogsofinstagram #dogstagram #dogtrainer #dogwalk #dogwalker #dogwalking #instadog #maryland #pet #petcare #pets #petsitter #petsitting #petsofinstagram #puppy #virginia #waggywalkys https://www.waggywalkys.com/hard-to-hear-the-facts-of-canine-ear-infections/

Analysis of 13,000 Finnish pet dogs offers insight Analysis of 13,000 Finnish pet dogs offers insights into behavior If your dog exhibits behavior problems, she is in good company. A recent study of over 13,000 pet dogs in Finland found that nearly three-quarters of dogs have a behavioral issue. The study almost certainly underrepresents the percentage of dogs with a behavior problem because this study focused on just seven of them: noise sensitivity, fearfulness, compulsion, fear of surfaces or heights, inattention/impulsivity, separation related behavior and aggression. It did not investigate destructive chewing, jumping up, digging, counter surfing and many other behaviors that are common and considered problematic to the people in their lives. Additionally, because the data came from guardian surveys, assessing its reliability is challenging. . . #dc #dmv #dog #dogboarding #doggo #doggydaycare #doglover #doglovers #dogoftheday #dogs #dogsitter #dogsofinsta #dogsofinstagram #dogstagram #dogtrainer #dogwalk #dogwalker #dogwalking #instadog #maryland #pet #petcare #pets #petsitter #petsitting #petsofinstagram #puppy #virginia #waggywalkys https://www.waggywalkys.com/study-reveals-just-how-common-behavior-problems-are/
