Dog Acne Tips and Tricks

admin — Sun, 01 Aug 2010 15:42:28 +0000

Dog acne? Sounds weird? Well, guess what dogs like humans can get acne, too. Everyone knows acne as a human condition suffered by many teenagers, but it is quite common in some breeds of dog too.

Dogs often get acne during their “teenage” years, which is from nine months to three years. The most susceptible breeds are English bulldogs, Doberman pinschers, and Rottweilers. Dog acne improves with age and the condition typically resolves after a year, though some dogs may develop chronic acne.

Dog acne usually develops on their chin, lips, and muzzle. Dogs with this skin condition have swellings, scabs and blackheads on the said body parts. These usually don’t bother the dog unless a secondary bacteria-causing skin infection develops. This can cause discomfort for dogs such as pain and itching.

Dog acne can’t be cured, but can be controlled. You don’t need harsh medications to control this problem in dogs, but controlling it is more important. Pimples and blackheads are prone to infection and can make the skin itchy or sore. Mild cases are usually not treated.

The first step however is to rule out other conditions such mite infestation, ringworm and puppy strangles. These may cause anorexia and depression. Also important is to uncover underlying allergies. Regular cleaning with anti-acne products for dogs or mild anti-seborrheic shampoos is ideal to decrease the bacterial load of the skin, which contributes to blocking the pores.

Keeping your dog’s skin clean can prevent the bacteria from forming in the first place. Washing your dog’s face daily day with antibacterial pet wash can also prevent dog acne problems. And finally make sure to remove all residues from washing.

As they say prevention is way better than cure so ensure a healthy routine for your dogs to avoid having this alarming disease.

Dog Training Tip of the Day-Can Old Dogs Learn New Tricks?

admin — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 03:09:13 +0000

Nikko is a 10 year old American Pit Bull Terrier. Our challenge was teach Nikko the speak cue. Nikko didn’t know what the word meant in the beginning. After all, dogs do not speak English. This is not a dog training tutorial. I created this video for a friend and to illustrate that any healthy, normal older dog this is physically able, CAN learn new tricks with the use of positive reinforcement and clicker training. ***Note: I used lots of high-pitched praise because this is one of Neko’s motivators, along with cheese. However, in a normal clicker training session, it is best to avoid making too much “white noise.” Also, when teaching a dog to speak on cue, it is VERY important to capture the behavior when there is no underlying emotion present. In other words, DO NOT praise a dog or puppy for barking at other people, dogs, or animals.*** Special thanks to Josh Woodward for his song, “Omaha.”

Paw Targeting – how to teach tricks dog training clicker training

admin — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 23:26:54 +0000

This video is a how to video on how to teach your dog to target an object with his front paws. This is not only a great game to teach your puppy or dog how to learn to learn, but it is the foundation for many behaviors and tricks. Tricks with this foundation include- wave, shake , high five, standing up, hands up, close the door, cop cop, say your prayers, descrimination, freestyle foot work and more. Check out zsianz1 ‘s video on how to teach a high five using this technique! www.youtube.com Take care with large breed dogs or dogs who have sharp toe nails as you can get slapped. Perhaps teach shake down the line when you have more experience as a trainer so that your large dog doesnt learn to paw at you as their favorite behavior. The great thing about the technique that I am using is that the dog isnt learning to paw at your skin, but at an object, so you can get that on stimulus control before it is just your arm (for very large and powerful dog breeds). You can also click them fore being gentle before you switch to using just your hand for shake.
