What Pet Owners Should Know About Sacramento Dog Training Specialists

Do Dogs rescue their owners in case of danger?

Everyone already more or less read, seen or heard, a history of dog having saved its Master in danger of death, and retained these rare cases (when it is not a question of urban legends) that the best friend of the man felt the danger, and did not hesitate to carry help to its Master. Reality is unfortunately very different.

Everyone already more or less read, seen or heard, a history of dog having saved its Master in danger of death, and retained these rare cases (when it is not a question of urban legends) that the best friend of the man felt the danger, and did not hesitate to carry help to its Master. Reality is unfortunately very different.

An experiment was carried out confirming this nonchalance of the pooch. In order to test their capacity to recognize an emergency case, several dogs were put in situation. In a first case, the owners of the dogs pretended the heart attack, in the second experiment, they simulated an accident into which a library was falling over them, leaving them on the ground, unconscious. Amazement, dogs were not interested in the second state in which their master was, without doubt they had better to sniff or water … In any case they did not carry help to their Master by going to seek one of the accomplices who waited wisely not far from there.

The dog behaviors can be interpreted so many ways. Dog professionals can analyze this experiment based on their past experiences. However, they will definitely agree with the outcome of this experiment.

The conclusion is that dogs (not trained to do so) cannot recognize an emergency.

 

A Pet Owner’s Guide to Puppy Potty Training

If you want to be successful in potty training your puppy, then you have to choose a tried and tested method. But not only that, you have to ensure you are committed – it’s the key to successful potty training. Keep in mind that it might take a few months before your dog is fully potty trained if you do not spend enough time training him in the beginning.

How to Start Potty Training Your Pup

Potty training a puppy is to a large extent reliant on a good daily routine. Like babies, a pup has to poo every hour, and pee every 15 to 20 minutes in the beginning. So it’s important that you learn when to take him to his potty spot (oh, you have to decide on one before you bring him home.

Usually you should take him to the toilet straight after a meal, when he wakes up after a nap, after extended periods of play and excitement, and before you take him to bed. Over and above that check with him every 15 to 20 minutes. Also, beware of the tell tale signs of him needing to go: restlessness, digging, going around in circles or sniffing. Once you see these signs, take him to his potty spot. He will get used to the idea that that is his designated potty area.

Unfortunately at least in the beginning you need to keep a constant eye on your puppy – or it will go anywhere. If you feel you have no time to spend with your puppy now, maybe look for an already potty trained pup, or postpone getting a puppy until you can get some solid time together.

How to Deal With Potty Accidents

Number one rule: do not hit or yell at your dog when he’s not gone to the potty spot you assigned him. Remember – he’s not doing this to spite you – he’s simply following nature. In these early days, if your pup relives himself in the wrong place it is more your fault than his – he’s just a puppy that’s learning…

If you catch him in the ‘act’ pick him up calmly and take him to his potty spot. Wait for him to finish there and tell him he’s a good boy. If his potty spot is just too far to take him to while urinating, then just leave him to finish (he’ll make less mess that way), then be more vigilant next time and take him to his potty more often.

Your puppy wants to please you – so be patient and he’ll soon learn where to go by himself with very little if any accidents.

Things You Need to Remember Before You Start Puppy Potty Training

As a last note, I would like to give you some pointers that will make potty training your puppy much easier:

From then onwards, all you need to do is to make sure that your dog relieves himself in his designated area. You have to be consistent and patient, and soon your dog will know what to do, how and where to do it.
