If the dog is in bad shape and urgently needs to go to the vet, it often becomes a problem for the employee to take time off. You have to solve that somehow if you don’t want to be absent without an excuse as an employee. This begs the question, are employees allowed to stay at home and take care of their dog? (more…)
The leash is also there to create a connection between humans and dogs. But you shouldn’t use them to discipline the dog or tug at it like crazy. On the other hand, of course, she’s not there to hold on to and let her dog pull her around.
Does the dog even like the leash?
Many dog owners also think that the dog might take offense if you try to put it on a leash. For example, when he is playing with other dogs. They think that the dog will take it as a negative if it can no longer frolic around. But dog therapists see this as a good example of how many unconsciously humanize dogs. In fact, we associate the leash with bondage. In a good human-dog relationship, the dog would not mind walking next to its human on a leash. On the contrary, it is explained that he even enjoys it, since it is in his nature to follow us.
This shouldn’t really be an issue as most dogs live in environments where they have to be on a leash at least part of the time anyway. That is why the experts advocate familiarizing every four-legged friend with it from the start. Then she is something completely normal for him. But many dog owners think that a dog only feels good when it can walk next to you off a leash. However, being off a leash does not automatically mean freedom.
Especially in spring, when the fresh young grass is growing, you can see a particularly large number of dogs eating the grass. But even experts have to admit that there is no scientific explanation for this phenomenon. One could assume that there is a vitamin or mineral deficiency in the dog. But studies have shown that even well-balanced and ideally cared for animals like to eat grass. (more…)
The birch came to us from the north. There are many myths and legends, dating back to Celtic times. Even back then, birch was used as a medicine. Tea was made from the leaves and wound dressings were made from the bark. (more…)
The question arose as to whether dogs can be vaccinated against TBE, perhaps with the human vaccine? The cases are rare in dogs. So far, only cases involving large breeds of dogs are known. Of course, it can sometimes be the case that the disease is not diagnosed correctly. (more…)
In Mother Nature’s herb box there are many healthy things for our dogs. Unfortunately, natural remedies are far too rarely used in dogs. For example the field horsetail – an old remedy for dogs. Occasionally occurring, minor inflammations in the dog’s mouth can also be treated very well by yourself. You can now find out how. (more…)
I find what I read very interesting. Researchers have often observed the interaction between dogs and humans. No human relationship to an animal is as old as that to a dog. (more…)
What can you do if a dog doesn’t get along with others? Who hasn’t it happened that during a walk you meet another dog with your human. One of the dogs barks and tugs wildly at the leash. In short, he gets terribly upset. It is often the case that the other dog then also starts to go crazy.
This is actually not entirely unusual behavior. Actually, ignoring goes a long way. (more…)
If the weather is not too cold and there is little or no snow, the forest is a wonderful playground for the dog. But you should first find out what is allowed and what is forbidden. (more…)
Our four-legged friends have become a lot more intelligent in the course of evolution. They are very good at interpreting our body signals, for example. So it’s a question why more people don’t take advantage of this when training dogs. (more…)
