Have you always desired a cat but are deathly allergic to them? It s estimated that 1 in every 10 people in America are allergic to cats. In this video, we are going to be listing 12 hypoallergenic cats that are suitable for people with allergies. Cat saliva contains a protein called FelD1, which is a stimulating factor for a lot of allergic responses. Cats tend to lick and slobber on their fur, and when this happens, the saliva hardens and forms the allergen that causes allergic reactions. While no cat is fully allergen-free, hypoallergenic cats are cats that naturally release fewer allergens. 📚Chapters 00:00 - Intro 00:12 - LaPerm Cat 00:46 - Sphynx Cat 01:38 - Bengal Cat 02:31 - Russian Blue Cat 03:13 - Oriental Shorthair Cat 04:10 - Burmese Cat 04:48 - Ocicat 05:41 - Devon Rex 06:22 - Siberian Cat 07:28 - Javanese Cat 08:16 - Cornish Rex Cat 09:21 - Balinese Cat 📌Affiliate Links📌 😻Modern Cat Furniture: https://rebrand.ly/tuftandpaw 🧶Cat Supplies and Accessories: https://rebrand.ly/happy-and-polly 🚫Want to get rid of cat odors?: https://rebrand.ly/livepeefree 📺Other Similar Videos: 😻12 Things Cats ABSOLUTELY Love (Always Do This With Your Cat!) https://youtu.be/3CuaWnRcN44 😾14 Things Cats ABSOLUTELY Hate (NEVER Do These To Your Cat!) https://youtu.be/8xjWo3yOdAw 🙀12 Strangest Cat Behaviors Explained https://youtu.be/1Vp8EWQqgzU 🔔SUBSCRIBE🔔 https://rebrand.ly/CatNation/subscribe ▶▶About Us Welcome to Cat Nation!

The reality is that dog attacks do happen. With statistics putting the rate of dog attack at 4.5 million people per year, it makes perfect sense to learn how to survive a dog attack. This guide will put you through the process of breaking free from a dog attack. 1. Know the Most Dangerous Dog Breeds Pit bulls, Rottweilers, Doberman Pinschers, Presa Canarios, and Hybrid-wolves make up the top 5 most dangerous dogs. These dogs can be trained to be friendly, or they can be trained to be attack dogs. 2. Avoid the attack Before it comes to any encounter with a dog, first, you should try to avoid the attack. • Don’t smile o Smiling can expose your teeth and bare teeth signify aggression to a dog. Dogs often take this as a threat. • Don’t run o Fast-moving people such as joggers or cyclists tend to be at risk of a dog attack. Running from an attacking dog is never a good idea. For one, most dogs are faster than humans, running also excites the dog and even encourages it to attack more ferociously. So, stand still! • Face sideways and avoid staring at the dog. o Try as much as possible to direct your gaze far away from the dog. Making direct eye contact tends to aggravate the dog and trigger an attack. While you channel your gaze away from the dog, it sends signals to the pet that you’re not a threat and it can let you go unharmed. • Don’t show signs of fear o Showing signs of fear make dogs more confident in attacking you. On the other hand, if a dog realizes that it can’t scare you, it might think you are a dangerous person. • Do not make any sudden movements. o Rather, keep your hands down at your sides. This may help to calm down the dog and show it that you are not a threat. • Don’t turn your back. o Dogs often take this as a sign of weakness or an opening to attack. • Distract the dog o If you re with anything like a bottle or a stick, throw it to the side. This will create a distraction and the dog may even run after it. • Give commands o In an authoritative voice, command the dog to stop or sit. Some well trained dogs will respond to this command and stop. Most often, these tips will keep a dog from attacking. But what if you couldn’t avoid the attack? 3. During the attack • Attack the dog’s weakest points o The weakest points of a dog are its eyes, neck or nose. Hit them as hard as you can. Hitting a dog’s throat or neck may cause the canine to choke. It s time to get mean to survive. • Jacket trick o Do you have something to wrap around your arm? Say, a jacket? If so, wrap it around your nondominant arm and offer it to the dog while you fight • Aim for its throat o put pressure on the windpipe for at least 30 seconds until the dog is unconscious and has stopped struggling • Use a weapon o Tasers are typically useless against fur-covered animals. o Pepper spray, survival knife, fire extinguisher and firearm are great weapons against attacking dogs. Remember that dogs don’t recognize these weapons. Showing a knife or firearm does not scare them away. So, use them instead. o It might take 30 seconds for the dog to recognize the pain of pepper spray. o Pit Bulls are exception. Pit bulls are known to fight to the last breath and fighting them only urges them the more to attack. Knife or Pepper spray is not going to work on Pit Bulls. Use fire extinguishers or a distractor instead. • Use your weight o Your weight is a great weapon to protect you. Press the dog against the ground using your weight. Dog bones don’t have the strength to withstand your weight. • Protect the Vital Parts of your Body o Whatever it takes, never let the dog get to your neck or face. Stay Standing to protect your face • Use an object o A dog’s only weapon is its teeth. Put something between your body and the dog s teeth if you can. This could be a stick, your sleeve or your purse. • The worst-case scenario o The worst scenario is when a dog has taken you to the ground. Your first instinct should be to protect your neck and face. Cover your head with your arms and let the dog bite your forearm. Your arm will bleed less than your leg because it has a higher proportion of bone. Then attack the dog’s eyeball by burying your thumb into the dog s eye. 4. After the attack • Get Medical Help o If the dog bites you, consider visiting a doctor for proper treatment. Don’t overlook the scratch and small wounds because they can be harmful, especially when the dog is rabid. • Inform the Authorities o Whether the dog attacks you or not, it’s imperative to report it to the authorities. Tip – teach your child to never touch a dog s food when it is eating. No matter how well behaved the dog is. Background Music: Youtube Audio Library
Top 12 Ways to Survive Animal Attacks Survive Wild Animal Attacks With These 12 Tips There is no getting around it, wild animals do attack humans. This could be because they feel threatened when protecting their territory, family or themselves or they may view you as lunch. Unfortunately, most people are not trained on how to protect themselves when an animal attacks, causing some encounters to be fatal. However, it is important to see the statistics of wild animal attacks, as many of these are exaggerated. For instance, on average, sharks only cause about five deaths per year, wolves only cause eight deaths per year, and lions at twenty per year. On the other side of the spectrum though, adorable elephants cause about six hundred deaths per year as do hippopotamus’, whereas crocodiles kill about a thousand and the snake at one-hundred thousand people per year. With this said, here are some tips on how to protect yourself if you find yourself in an encounter with a wild animal: • Jellyfish unfortunately it is really hard to avoid getting “stung” or “burned” by a jellyfish as they are often hard to see in water. However, if you do find yourself with a jellyfish burn, immediately wash the area with salt water. Do not use pure water as it will only make the burn and ache from it worse. If possible, use tweezers to remove any of the needles from the stung region and then spread antihistamine ointment onto the burn. • Sharks out of the 150 shark species that exist, only about twenty of them will actually attack a human. Most of them will not see you as lunch, however if a shark does become interested in you, you will need to know how to break away. The first thing is to never turn your back on a shark and do not try to move in a panicked fashion as they will then perceive you as prey. Make sure to move slowly and do not allow blood or urine to get into the water. If you do get caught by a shark, punch at its eyes and gills as these regions are extremely sensitive. • Kangaroos kangaroos can be dangerous to a human if you enter their territory and make them feel threatened, otherwise just stay away from kangaroos that show aggression. To avoid a conflict with one, cough quietly and make your coughs short in duration, this tricks the kangaroo into thinking that you have a disease. Then slowly back away from the kangaroo, making yourself smaller and less of a threat. Do not panic and turn your back to run, it’ll easily catch up with you due to its high velocity jumps. • Large cats and Lions: although it is rare for you to encounter a large cat like lion, if you do, make sure to maintain eye contact and stay facing the animal. By doing this, it lowers the chance of the lion attacking you in the moments that you are distracted. Doing this will make lions think that you are stronger than him. You should also be confident when facing a lion so that it perceives your presence as irritating. • Elephants: Elephants are well-known for attacking people, especially if you encounter a female elephant who is a mother as it will perceive you as a threat to its babies. If you are close to an elephant, make note of what their body language is saying. If they pull their ears back and curl their trunk it means that they view you as a threat and are going to attack. If this happens, don’t run but do try to find a barrier or cover like a tree or stone to help put space between the elephant and yourself. • Rhinoceroses: Rhinoceroses don’t have a good eyesight which means that they are super easy to provoke by just frightening them. You cannot outrun a rhinoceros because they can reach an upward speed of up to 40 miles per hour. So the best way to get away from one is to hide yourself either into high grass or bushes or behind a tree. background music: ON AND ON by Nicolai Heidlas Music https://soundcloud.com/nicolai-heidlas Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported— CC BY 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b...

In this video, we will talk about 16 common mistakes dog owners unknowingly make when they are caring for their canine companions. Segregation From the Pack Dogs are pack animals. For a domestic dog, you are their pack and family. If you’re constantly pushing your dog away or ignoring them when they try to climb in your lap and give you kisses, you’re not only depriving them of affection, but going against their nature. Letting your dog stick its head out of a moving vehicle Allowing a dog’s head to be exposed on the road can be dangerous. Branches, rocks or other debris could collide with the animal’s head. The wind also carries dust and foreign objects that could harm your dog’s eyes. Ear damage is another concern. Even worse, the dog might feel the impulse to jump out of a moving car. Giving Your Dog Bones Many vets believe it just isn’t worth the risk of serious injuries to give your dog a bone. Giving dogs a real bone could be deadly. The bone could shatter and puncture their esophagus, stomach or intestines. Your dog could even break a tooth, get a tongue or mouth injury, or have an obstruction that could require surgery. If you’d like to give your pup a bone to chew, avoid giving your pup cooked bones of any kind as they can break and splinter into tiny, sharp pieces that can cut your dog’s mouth, throat or digestive organs. Yelling when your dog misbehaves Yelling is another thing you should never do when disciplining your canine. It doesn’t work, just like physical punishment doesn’t. You re just freaking out your pet. Not keeping your dog stimulated Dogs need as much mental and physical stimulation as people do. Your dog not only needs exercise but they also need to be exposed to different smells, sights, and sounds. It makes their brain work better. Choosing the wrong collar As a responsible dog owner, it’s important that you choose the right type of collar for your canine. A Flat-buckle collar is a plain collar that snaps or buckles closed. This is a great option for dogs that don’t pull on the leash, and aren’t prone to slipping out of the collar. If your canine is a puller or likes to explore as far as they can reach, using a harness might be a better option. A front- clip harness in particular is an effective method to avoid leash-pulling. Not making socialization a priority Dogs who aren’t properly socialized will have a fear of new or unusual circumstances. This results in the release of adrenaline hormones that increase blood pressure, as well as heart and respiration rates. Using physical punishment. It’s important to discipline your dog but physical punishment should never be the way to do it. Reward-based training is much more effective than physical punishment. Reward based training helps build trust and strong bond between the dog and their owner. Neglecting breed-specific characteristics Some breeds require specific grooming needs, and others have pre-dispositions to certain health issues. Pushed-in face breeds such as Pugs, Bulldogs, Pomeranians, and Boxers are extremely prone to heat stroke due to their narrow airways and nostrils. Some long-hair breeds such as Huskies or Alaskan Malamute have very thick coats and need extra care if kept in tropical climates. Bringing puppies to a dog park Taking young puppies to dog parks is a bad idea. First of all, young puppies don’t have all the vaccinations. Secondly, not every dog is as friendly as your pooch. Other dogs can be aggressive towards your pup Leaving a Dog Alone in a Car Never ever leave your dog alone in an enclosed car. Dogs don’t sweat like humans, and they overheat much faster than you think. They lack the ability to cool themselves off efficiently. Not securing your dog in the car People use seat belts, children use car seats, so why would the case be any different for your dog. If you don’t secure your four-legged friend in the car and you end up in a car accident, your dog can get seriously injured or even killed. Using harsh cleaning products Many cleaning products used in our homes are toxic to dogs. Always check the label. Any product that contains bleach or ammonia is hazardous to animals. Letting Your Dog Eat Everything Giving dogs human food isn’t good for them. Most times the food you eat are too fatty, too spicy or too salty for your canine. Make sure to avoid feeding them human food, even little crumbles from the table. You Don’t Take Care of Your Pet’s Teeth Like humans, dogs need regular dental care. Their teeth are home to hundreds of bacteria and need to be brushed just like yours do. Skipping flea, tick, and worming treatments Preventive flea, worm, tick, and heartworm treatment is crucial when caring for a dog. On that note, remember that heartworm disease is a serious disease that results in heart failure, organ damages, and death in pets. Take sure to get your dogs tested for heartworm infection every 12 months.
Dogs are fairly easy to please. They love treats, walks and attention from their favorite people. However, there are some things that they simply cannot stand. In this video, we’ll talk about 26 things that your dog hates and wishes you’d stop doing.
As much as you might love your cat, they might not always reciprocate your affection. Although your feline friend could never "hate" you, they could develop some mistrust and fear toward you. In this video, we will discuss 14 signs that your cat hates you Horizontal Tail When You re Around A cat’s tail is like human’s eyebrows — they convey emotion without having to make a sound. Although actions like wrapping their tail around you, a "question mark" shape of the tail, and an upright tail are all positive mood indicators for a cat, you should watch out for a lowered horizontal tail, tail lashing, or tail puffing. A lowered horizontal or generally lowered tail indicates the cat is in fearful, aggressive, or hostile mood. This is often a clear sign that your pet is not happy. They Don’t Relax When You re Around Sleeping puts a cat in a very vulnerable position. Cats are usually concerned about their safety and won’t expose their vulnerable parts when they aren’t sure about their surroundings. So if your cat doesn’t let its guard down when you’re around, it could mean they feel uncomfortable around you Flattening their ears around you Cats lay their ears flat, either toward the side or back of their head, when they’re feeling defensive or aggressive. When a cat is in this position, they are trying to tell you that they re uncomfortable and need some space. They Poop on your stuff While there are many reasons that a cat may eliminate outside the litter box, like a medical issue or a dirty litter box, relieving outside of designated areas may be a sign that your pet is upset. For cats, peeing or pooping outside the litter box is often a way of marking their territory. If your feline friend leaves a mess in an obvious place, like the middle of your bedroom or on your belongings, that s them marking that territory as theirs and advising you to stay away from it. The Cat Won t Touch or Be Touched When cats trust you, they will offer physical expressions of closeness. They will lick you, groom you, rub you, and sleep on you. But if you are considered a dangerous creature, a cat won’t let you get close enough to impose threat. If you don t get any lap-sits, head-butts, or leg-rubs, it s probably because the cat does not trust you. They lie down on their backs with their claws out Most animals are at a disadvantage when fighting on their backs, but a cat is capable of biting and clawing in this position. Some will even purposefully roll onto their back during a fight with another cat or animal. They stare you down Does your cat stare you down? It could be a sign of love or curiosity... or it could be because they re mad at you. If a cat stares right into your eyes, check their body language. A feline who is upset will exhibit telltale signs such as flatten ears, a stiffer body and an agitated tail that’s swishing back and forth. That body language, in addition to direct eye contact, is a clear sign that your cat needs some space. In the animal world, prolonged eye contact without blinking is seen as an act of aggression and dominance. They keep hiding from you. If your cat is always hiding, it could mean they are fearful or unhappy with you or the situation. Constant hiding could also be a sign of an underlying health issue, so be sure to check a vet. They bite you Cats’ biting is one of the most clear signs of resentment. If they bite without backing away or trying to play afterwards, they’re trying to show you they are agitated. This is not to be confused with love bites, which are playful in nature and clearly not meant to pierce the skin. They Seem friendly with other people... But not you It s normal for cats to have better chemistry or closer bonds with some people rather than with others. Cats are notorious for playing favorites, and some felines are just cooler than others, never warming up to anyone. They Disappear Whenever You Are Around If your feline friend insists on maintaining a distance from you, or even disappears whenever you come in the room, then there s a good chance they’re trying to avoid you on purpose. They hiss at you. If your cat is hissing at you, then they re definitely unhappy. If your full-grown cat is hissing at you, it s a sure sign they re upset and potentially feeling threatened. Keep in mind that growling, hissing, and swatting are often normal behaviors in kittens as they try to develop. Chronic disinterest If you try to play with your kitties and they re not interested no matter which toy you ve got, it may be a sign they are unhappy. Sure, it s normal for our feline friends to turn down playtime so they can relax every now and then, but constant disinterest in interacting with you could be a sign that your feline is not too happy with you.
There are a few things in this world that cats like more than a fresh meal. In this video, we will discover the top 11 things that cats love the most. High Spots Most cats love to sleep and hang out in places with good vantage points. Whether it s the top of a refrigerator, a high shelf, or a window perch, cats feel more comfortable in the upper half of the room where they can keep an eye on the world around them. Boxes Cats love boxes because they get comfort and security from enclosed spaces. Boxes offer a safe zone where a cat can observe and not be seen. This is ideal for cats as their reaction to stressful situations is to run and hide. A research conducted by the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands found that when cats were provided with boxes, they seemed to show lower stress levels. Another set of research conducted by the National Research Council concluded that boxes can help keep a cat warm. Seeing the world through the windows Although cats do not depend on their sight as their primary sense, they can still see fairly clearly at distances of up to 20 feet. Open some of your shades and blinds, so your cat can see what’s going on outdoors. High-pitched voice Cats like being talked to and there are scientific studies that back this claim up. Cats are more likely to respond and socialize with people if they are spoken to in a calm and soft voice. This means that volume and tone of voice are essential elements when talking to felines because they may feel safe or threatened depending on the loudness or tone of our voice. Cat-toys that mimic pray For cats, play is serious business. They engage their natural hunting instincts through play. The toys cats enjoy most are the ones that add a bit of realism to a mock-hunting adventure. The more a toy feels, looks, moves, and even smells like prey, the better cats like it. Heat Archaeological evidence suggests that all domestic cats come from the African wildcat called Felis Silvestris Lybica that originated in the Middle-East. As descendants of desert animals, domestic cats are hard-wired to thrive in hot climates. With an average body temperature of 102 degrees Fahrenheit, cats living in cooler climates must compensate for their temperature-sensitivity. Catnip Cats love catnip and most felines get hyperactive in response to this plant. They roll over on it, purr loudly, flip onto the floor, and eventually calm down. Cat behaviorists often recommend catnip for relief during stressful situations, like traveling, when introducing a new pet, or moving to a new home. Researchers believe that catnip targets the “happy” receptors in the feline brain. It stimulates certain brain chemicals related to mood and happiness. Listening to Cat Music Cats love music, but they don’t enjoy human music — at least according to new research. A study published in the journal Applied Animal Behavior Science has discovered that in order for our feline friends enjoy music, it has to be composed specifically for cats. Running water Cats love drinking water from running faucets. This is because cats are instinctively suspicious of stagnant water. In the wild, standing water is a breeding ground for bacteria and has the potential to make wild cats very sick. The running water from the tap also probably tastes better because it s cooler and oxygenated. You If there’s one thing your cat loves more than food, it’s you, the human who gives them affection and love. A 2017 research conducted in the Oregon State University studied what attracts cats the most. The scientists offered cats a choice between food, toys, scent, and social interaction with humans and watched what happens. Believe it or not, they found that most cats prefer social interaction with humans over everything else — even food. In another study, scientists brought cats and their owners to an unfamiliar environment where they had never been before. For a few minutes, they let the cat and the owner be together in the room. After that, the owner left the room and the cat was alone for two minutes. Scientists found that that two minutes alone was a phase of stressor milestone to cats Scratching Cats have a need to scratch. This one activity satisfies a wide variety of instinctual needs. Encourage scratching by placing scratching posts in different areas of your home. Scratching posts need to be sturdy and tall. Your pet should be able to comfortably reach up, stretch, and scratch, without the posts tumbling over. Now that you know what your cat loves the most, make sure to make time to incorporate them into their daily lives. They will thank you for it.

Wheeking This noise sounds like a long, high pitched whistle, or squeal, and indicates excitement or anticipation, particularly about being fed. You’ll often hear your guinea pigs making this sound when they are hungry, so don’t be surprised if they wheek around the time you usually feed them, or when you’re preparing their food. Interestingly enough, wheeking is a sound that’s exclusively directed towards humans. Scientists have concluded that guinea pigs in the wild don’t actually wheek at each other. Chutting Chutting is a sound of contentment. Guinea pigs make this noise when they’re enjoying the moment, or when they are happy and comfortably running around, exploring, or relaxing. Guinea pigs that are chutting are loving life! Teeth Chattering You have probably heard your guinea pigs chatter their teeth together. It may sound like a hissing noise, or rapid streak of squeaks. The sound of their teeth chattering is meant to serve as a warning to others around them. It usually indicates that your guinea pig is unhappy, angry, or agitated at a certain situation. Teeth chattering in guinea pigs may also be a sign of pain or dental issue, and may be combined with showing the teeth in a yawn. Purring Purring is a low, constant vocalization that sounds like a mix between a grumble of a dog and a low purr of a cat. There are two opposite translations for a Guinea Pig’s purr. Piggies may purr when they are happy, or when they are angry. So you’ll need to look at the context or situation to figure out what kind of purring is happening. If you are petting your guinea pig gently, or feeding them their favorite treat, and you hear a purr, it most likely means your little pet is happy and enjoying its time with you. Rumbling Many people have a difficult time differentiating a rumble sound from a purr, but the rumble sound is produced in a lower tone, and is often accompanied by guinea pigs swaying their butt, or moving around slowly. More often than not, guinea pigs rumble when they want to display dominance, or when a male Guinea pig is courting a female. If you hear your male piggy pursuing a female while making a low purring noise, that is most likely a rumble. All in all, this sound is commonly heard when a male guinea pig wants to woo a female and a female wants to let nearby males know she’s in season. Chirping: This is a very rare noise. It sounds like a bird chirping, and could easily be confused with a bird in your house. This mysterious noise is not fully understood, and not everyone agrees on the meaning of it, but current thinking is that it’s a sign of stress or fear. It’s considered to be an alert signal—something that causes a guinea pig to be deeply concerned. Complaining This is a squeaky grunt noise, and it happens when guinea pigs want more space. Something may be too close to them, or your little pet doesn’t want to share their food with a fellow piggy. It could be that their cage is too small. Now that we have gone over different guinea pig’s sounds, let’s talk about guinea pig’s body language. Popcorning Popcorning is when a guinea pig hops straight up in the air, sometimes repeatedly. Because of the suddenness of the jumping, it’s been called popcorning. It usually happens when guinea pigs are very happy and excited. They’re having a good time, and literally jumping for joy! Sprawling Sprawling is when a guinea pig lies down on its side or belly. This position indicates that your little pet is comfortable, and feels safe with its surroundings. Sprawling is a vulnerable position for a guinea pig because it can take much longer to rise up in case of danger or predators’ attack. So if your guinea pigs sleep this way when they are next to you, then it means that they fully trust you and feel comfortable with you. Running Away From Being Picked Up: Guinea pigs are prey animals, so their instinct is to run away if they feel threatened. If you re trying to pick them up and they back away from you, it s not a rejection intrinsically but rather a natural defense. Just give your little pet a bit of time and patience and they ll enjoy spending time with you outside of the cage from time to time. Fidgeting While Being Held: This is often a sign that your guinea pig is just tired of being held, or needs to go to the bathroom. It’s important to remember that guinea pigs often urinate every 15 minutes because they have a small bladder. Licking More often than not, guinea pigs lick you to show you affection and love. They may even want to groom you to show that they care about your well-being. A guinea may also be giving you a lick simply because you taste good! You may have the residue of some yummy treat on your skin and your little pet just want to lap it up!
6 Easy Ways to Stop Your Puppy From Biting Biting is part of a puppy s normal behavior, however, it s important that your dog understands that teeth on your skin are not allowed. 1. React consistently to your puppy bites Whenever your puppy bites you, react by saying "NO!" in a very firm voice. Also, squeal and immediately stop playing with your puppy. Then just walk away and ignore him. Let the fun game stops. Social isolation is a great form of punishment for dogs. 2. Never play rough Never play roughly with your puppy. Rough play encourages biting. Never let your puppy chew on your hands or use your hands as toys. 3. Taste deterrent You can spray a taste deterrent on your skin and clothes before you start playing with your dog. When your dog starts biting you, stop moving and wait until your puppy reacts to the taste deterrent. When it stops biting, praise him and continue playing. “Bitter Apple” or white vinegar are some examples of taste deterrents. Make sure to use products that are safe for animals 4. Chew Toys Use noncontact forms of play like fetch and tug-of-war. Always keep some toys in your pocket or somewhere readily accessible. If your puppy starts biting you, you can immediately redirect it to the tug toy in your pocket. 5. Socialization Take your dog to a puppy kindergarten or socialization class on a regular basis. Not only your dog will get the proper socialization, but he’ll learn lots of good manners in the process. They will learn from the other puppies that playing rough is not accepted and rough playing puts a quick stop to the play time. 6. Water spray In severe cases where biting is exceptionally strong, you can use a water spray. Use a squirt of water in your puppy’s face with a firm “No”. Make sure to set the nozzle to spray, and not jet, to avoid harming the puppy. It’s important that you never threaten your puppy with the squirt bottle. You don’t want to create a fear situation with your squirt bottle in your hand. Background music: Youtube Audio Library

If you want to learn more about your dog, watch this video to understand 14 strange things your dog does and what they may be trying to tell you. Puppy-dog eyes if your dog has ever looked at you with those puppy-dog eyes, they are doing more than just trying to get you to fall in love with them. When your canine looks up at you with those adorable eyes, they are trying to show you that they love you. They are also trying to enforce a greater trust between you and them. Why dogs chase their tails Dogs chase their tails for a couple of reasons. When a dog is stressed or bored, they might decide to start a game of catch the tail to amuse themselves or release all that pent-up energy. Think of it a bit like a dog s version of tapping your foot or walking back and forth when you re bored or stressed. All that energy needs to go somewhere. Plus that wagging tail looks a lot like a toy. Another reason dogs spin in circles hunting their own tail is to grab your attention. Dogs are smart animals, and they can learn very quickly that doing certain things get their human family to react. They may choose to employ this attention-grabbing move if they want you to play with them. Understanding that something is wrong. Previous research has shown that when humans cry, their dogs also feel distress. Now, new studies published in the journal of Learning and Behavior have shown that dogs not only feel distress when they see that their owners are sad, but will also try to do something to help. Going nuts when you come home When your canine gets really excited and jumps all over you when you come home, it’s because they are happy that you re home. They just want you to know that they’ve missed you. They may even dribble small amounts of urine to show you how excited they are. Why dogs jump on you Jumping up on people is a natural canine behavior. The motivation for the jumping up behavior is to greet people. Dogs jump because they like to sniff a person s face. Dogs greet each other nose-to-nose, and they want to do the same with us. The best way to prevent jumping is to ignore the behavior. Do not touch or push away your dog when they jump. Simply turn around and don’t give them any kind of attention. Ignore them and walk away if needed. When the dog calms down, you can start greeting them. Your dog will eventually learn they are no longer being rewarded for their jumping and will greet you in a calmer way. Why dogs chase everything Chasing is a natural canine behavior. Dogs were born with the instinct to chase any moving object or living creature. A cat, the squirrels, or a car. More often than not, dogs go after things because their territorial instincts lead them to chase away intruders. Dogs also chase things because they were specifically bred over thousands of years to chase down prey. DNA runs deep in these breeds. Why dogs tilt their head For many dogs, head-tilting helps them hear better. Rotating their ears, or their entire head, can help triangulate the location of the sound so they can hear it more clearly. Why dogs follow you into the bathroom Dogs are pack animals. When they are in the wild, they do everything together and they are loyal to the pack. These sociable animals went from being wolves living in packs to dogs living with humans. Dogs follow you into the bathroom and around the house because it s their instinct to want to be with you. They don’t mean to invade your privacy, they’re doing it because they just want to be with you. Why dogs trash your couch. Chewing on a wide variety of objects in the house regardless of whether you are home or not, is often the result of boredom or separation anxiety. Your dog probably needs more play, exercise and physical activity to work off some energy. Why dogs turn in Circles Before Lying Down It’s a normal behavior for dogs to circle their sleeping area before lying down for sleep. In the wild, the circling would flatten grasses or snow and would drive out any snakes or large insects. Doggy beds and pillows haven t always been around, so wild dogs had to make a comfortable bed for themselves. Why dogs sniff each other from behind When dogs sniff each other from behind, they are trying to gain information about the other dog. Dogs have anal sacs in their rear end that release chemicals and scents that tell a lot about their body to other canines. Many dogs also try to find out more about humans through crotch-sniffing. This is because the crotch area has a certain type of sweat glands called apocrine glands, which produce chemicals that convey social information. Why dogs snore Just like with humans, snoring in dogs generally occurs when air movement is restricted in the nasal passageways. Sometimes the cause of a dog’s snoring can be the simplest of things, such as their sleeping position. It often happens when your dog sleeps on their back, so their tongue ends up partially blocking some of the air movement in their passageways.
There are plenty of myths and misconceptions about dogs. For example, how many times have you heard that dogs can only see in black and white, or that you have to be the alpha or pack leader to successfully train your canine, or even that sleeping with your dog is not good for you. In this video, we will separate fact from fiction by sharing 16 myths about dogs. Dogs can catch a cold Most people believe if they get a cold, their dog will get sick too. But dogs don’t catch a cold from humans. This is because the viruses that cause cold-like symptoms in humans and in dogs rarely jump from one species to the other, so you can rest easy about giving your dog your case of the sniffles. But remember, if your dog is sick, other dogs in the neighborhood could be at risk of contracting whatever virus is causing your dog’s cold, so keep your dog away from other dogs until he is feeling better. Sleeping with your dog is not good for you Animal experts have long advised dog owners not to sleep with their pets because it will promote poor behavior in the animal and could lead to serious illness in humans. However, this myth has now been debunked and many vets now believe concerns over such issues are overstated or just incorrect. According to recent research published by Mayo Clinic Proceedings, sharing your bedroom with your canine companion may actually improve your sleep. As long as both you and your dog are healthy and the dog isn’t under the covers, it’s perfectly safe to snuggle up with your furry friend every night. Just make sure your dog has no fleas, ticks, parasites, or illnesses, and that he has up-to-date vaccinations. Human foods are bad for dogs Obvious treats such as chocolate or onions should never be fed to your canine. But some foods such as apples, bananas, or daily products are fine for dogs to snack on. It’s important to remember that these human foods should be given in moderation, and they shouldn’t replace your dog’s actual balanced meal. Once a dog bites, it’s time to put them to sleep Many people believe that when a dog bites someone, it will happen again. The dog can’t be trusted again and that it is time to put them down to sleep. No one wants to euthanize their pet after a biting incident, and really, no one has to either. It s understandable that a dog bite can be scary and stressful, but it’s important to remember that aggression in dogs is a treatable problem. Since every dog and every situation is different, make sure to discuss with a canine behavior consultant or your veterinarian to determine what caused the dog to bite in the first place, and how it can be prevented from happening in the future. More often than not, dogs will resort to biting when they feel threatened or abused. Rescue dogs aren’t good pets There are many myths surrounding rescue dogs. These myths can be very harmful and even deter potential fosters. Some people think that rescue dogs are bad because you don t know their background or where they came from. Or that shelter dogs are there for a good reason. Don t assume all pets were banished to a shelter for some wrongdoing! There are plenty of pets in shelters because of an owner s inescapable situation. There are even people who give up on their pet because they welcome a newborn. And remember, if a rescue is aggressive, it is probably because they were poorly treated, and didn’t receive proper socialization or training. So next time you decide to get a dog, try to give a rescue pet a chance. Your dog must see you as the “alpha” This myth has long been propagated among dog trainers. Dog owners are told that they must be “the alpha dog” or "the leader of the pack" to dominate their pet dogs to get them to behave. However, dog training research has revealed over and over that dogs do not need to be dominated to be well behaved. In fact, dogs whose owners use reward-based training and praise are overall more well-balanced and happier. One Year of a Dog’s Life is Equal to 7 Human Years How dogs age can vary by breed, but there’s no evidence that a year in dog life equals seven years of human life. A 2019 study by researchers at the University of California San Diego revealed a new method to calculate the actual age of dogs. By tracking changes in DNA molecules and methyl group patterns, scientists were able to estimate the ages of dogs. Based on this study, a 1-year-old dog was comparable to a 31-year-old human, while a 5-year-old dog is comparable to a 57-year-old human. A dog will always cry out if they’re feeling pain. Canines have inherited an instinct to hide any outward signs of pain. In the wild, an animal that is injured or infirm is vulnerable to attack, and there is a survival advantage to act like nothing is wrong even when something most definitely is. Our pet dogs still suppress many of the obvious signals of pain to protect themselves and their social standing in their pack.
From the random stranger that your well-behaved dog barks at in the street, to the neighbor that your pet refuses to go near, sometimes it seems dogs just know when someone is a ‘bad’ or ‘good’ person. Stick around till the end of this video as we dig up the dirt on your dog s incredible abilities. Dogs can detect a mean person According to a study published in the journal of Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, dogs can tell when someone is mean to you! In three different scenarios, a dog owner was trying to open a container that was tightly sealed with an actor standing next to them. The first actor helped open the container, the second was passive, and the third outright refused to help. Scientists found that the dogs were much more likely to accept a treat from the actor who tried to help and showed kindness toward the owner. Most dogs also accepted food from the passive actor, but they were not willing to trust the person who didn’t lend a hand. Dogs can detect liars Another study conducted in Japan followed a similar experiment to find out if dogs can recognize an untrustworthy person. In this experiment, the scientists placed two containers near the dogs. One had treats inside, but the other was empty. In the first test, a person pointed to the container that concealed a treat, but the second time, the person pointed to the empty container instead. The dogs were happy to find the treat the first round, but were disappointed when they found out they were lied to in the second time. Then, the third round, the person pointed to the container with the treat again. However, that time, the dogs did not go for it. That person had been untrustworthy and deceitful in the second round, and the dog remembered that. Dogs can remember their owner’s scent forever Dogs can remember the scent of their owners for their entire life. A dog’s memory is so complex that they will remember emotions associated with their owner or a person they met. The association of how that person made the dog feel remains stored in the dog’s brain. When a dog recognizes a particular scent associated with a human that has brought them joy, a particular portion of their brain is triggered, and they remember them. Studies have shown that an owner’s scent activates the pleasure centers in the dog’s brain. It’s similar to the way the human brain responds to the perfume or cologne of a loved one. Dogs can interpret facial expressions. In a touchscreen experiment in Austria, scientists put dogs to the test. When the dogs were shown angry or happy faced pictures of people they hadn’t seen before, they were still able to tell the difference and earn that reward. The scientists say that the experiment proves that dogs can discriminate between the two human expressions. Dogs had a natural aversion to pressing their noses against pictures of angry faces. This means that our furry friends have some knowledge about the meaning behind human expressions. Dogs can smell bad intentions If your dog barks at some people, but not the others, it could be that your dog picks up on subconscious signals you send about those people. Outwardly, you may be being welcoming and friendly to a person, but your dog will notice tiny, subconscious signals that you are not completely comfortable around that person. Your dog can sense when you are nervous because your body produces certain stress-related chemicals and hormones that have distinctive odors. On that note, remember that dogs can smell fear. In a study of 694 people, the scientists found a link between an individual’s emotional state and their likelihood of getting bitten. Confident and emotionally stable people didn t get bitten nearly as often as those who feel anxious around intimidating dogs. Dogs can read your body language. According to animal behavior specialists, canines will pick up on every move a dog or human makes. This is because dogs rely on canine body language to assess their own safety when they are around other dogs. Dogs can smell serious illnesses Believe it or not, dogs can detect cancer. Simply by sniffing someone’s body. A study conducted at the University of California Davis has shown that dogs can detect Cancer-affected tissues out of many samples. Dogs can even be life-savers for people with diabetes. A dog’s super nose can also predict seizures, and migraines, and can detect malaria and Parkinson’s disease. Now, let’s talk about why dogs bark at some dogs, but not the others. While humans communicate using words, dogs mainly communicate through their body language and scent. Your dog may bark at some dogs because they show threatening body language and have an off-putting scent.
