Boxer boarding Camino Verde Pet ResortEven though the facility provides individual outside runs that are accessible 24/7, quite a few owners book extra free time for their dogs.
If done frequently, the dogs wait with “going to the bathroom” until they are taken out.
First thing Miley does, is relieving herself!
The EXTRA exercise helps to be more relaxed when the dogs are back in the kennel.

Gunner Black Czech Shepherd For Adoption

 

Gunner Black Czech Shepherd for Adoption

Gunner has found a new home! Our friend Jesus has reached out to us. He is trying to find a new home for his dog that would better suit his dogs needs. We thought we could help him out by creating a post here on our site, and see if anyone out there would be interested in adopting his dog Gunner. A full blooded, black, Czech Shepherd looking for a new home. Here is a message we received from Jesus with a little more of Gunners story…

Good afternoon Andreas, this is Jesus reaching out to you in reference of Gunner! I would like to find him a good home since ours is no longer a good fit. We have tried to fix certain things with gunner, but the truth of the matter is that he needs to be in a home that can accept him as a full time inside Dog. Which has an owner that can be home for a large part of the day especially during monsoons, and any holidays that may use loud bangs to celebrate (i.e. 4th of July and New Years). Gunner will serve someone very well as a protector and most of all an Absolutely Great companionship Dog. Gunners only draw back is if he is left alone for long periods of time and something freaks him out, he will distort doors and moldings trying to get out of the house. Otherwise he’s great.

The reason we have chosen to find him a new home, is because it saddens us to no end to see him live everyday depressed and scared to be alone. Since me and my wife work long hours and cannot give him the attention he needs. Also with him being an inside dog, our allergies and my daughters have been acting up and it’s been bad.
It’s time for Gunner to go to a family that can give him what he needs. Thanks for your help in advance in helping me find Gunner a new home!

Ps: Gunner is a 5 year old Czech Shepherd, full blooded, and was a police dog academy candidate.

Free Feeding Meal Feeding Dogs

Free Feeding Meal Feeding Dogs

The question is: Should you be meal feeding or free feeding your dog?

Meal feeding is when you provide your dog with meals at set times of each day.

If you do, it is recommended to feed once or twice for adult dogs per day. On puppies, three times per day.
Free feeding means that your dog has access to his food at all times.
Someone mentioned the comparison of a Vegas Buffet! Agreed!

Let’s look at the pros and cons of either way- and then decide for yourself.

Taking responsibility for dogs brings many choices:
How to train, what equipment to use, which toys are best? Talking about feeding…..there are also endless choices of dog foods (Kibble or raw, with grain or without, fish based, chicken based, beef based, etc.
But this is a whole different article!

Reasons owners choose to free feed:
Convenience
It sure is convenient to just watch the bowl and keep it full. Over excitement at feeding time, is also avoided, if you decide to meal feed. There will be no problem if you never made it home at feeding time. The food is always there.

Food aggression- guard
Another reason is to possibly prevent or discourage food aggression (possessiveness) It could make sense,that a dog would be less likely to defend something that is always readily available in comparison to something that might be a treasure. Yet, I believe after years of professional experience that some individual dogs have those tendencies, and some do not. Dogs that have the tendency to guard their food might be less protective over it when free fed, but I would not count on a total cure. In addition, a dog that has those protective tendencies and is now free fed, could be on constant guard (stressful) feeling that he has has to protect his food all the time!
A better suggestion for a solution might be to only feed such dog out of your hand. Or also feed him by holding onto the dish while you are sitting in a chair.

Emotional reassurance that the dog does not starve
It might make one feel better to know that his dog is not starving.

Reasons why owners choose to meal feed:

Control of food intake
Controlling the amount a dog is eating will prevent obesity. Obesity is bad for any creature. In dogs, especially young ones, it could put unreasonable stress on joints and ligaments. They are more prone to have injuries. It is to be compared to have an extra back pack of heavy material to constantly being carried around.

Noticing that he doesn’t feel right
Loss of appetite will be more easily noted. And it is a clear indication that something is coming on. As meal feeding is always the same procedure and exciting event to a degree, changes in the dog’s attitude is immediately noticeable. Early detection of changes indicating that something is wrong, is a great advantage. Early recognition will prevent massive actions to be taken.

Using food for training
If you are intending to have a well behaved dog, you will consider training him. Food based reward systems for good behavior, are much more powerful, if the reward (food) is NOT readily available at all times. If meal feeding is on a set schedule, it will give your training even more excitement. Dogs learn the scenario at a certain time and in a certain place very quickly.

Control potty time
It is a fact that after eating- or waking up, it is potty time. Especially if the dog is not potty trained yet, the prediction of when he needs to go is very easy to be made.

Multiple dogs household
If there are more than one dog to be fed in the same household, Meal feeding is almost mandatory. Owners need to be in control over eating habits of each dog. Each dog should be supervised eating the portion and kind that is assigned to him individually.
Meal feeding for a group will also help to prevent dogs suddenly competing and fighting over food.

Meals and dog dishes are more hygienic
Dog dishes should be washed daily. It will prevent developing bacteria that can easily developed if food is just sitting out, even inside the house. Food left in bowls is an open invitation for ants and other insects.Just one fly inside the house could easily get onto the food and infest it. In addition, the dog could have just taken a drink of water, goes to take a bite of food, and moist the kibble with his wet mouth. It can very quickly develop mold. Especially if the dog is eating raw food, meal feeding is absolutely imperative.

 

 

 

Dog Ear cleaning

Dog ear cleaning is essential for the health of your dog. Checking your dog’s ears regularly helps to detect need for cleaning early enough to prevent developing an ear infection. In order to prevent infection from developing, it is recommended to clean the inside of the ears once a month. If the dog of a breed that requires grooming, he might have hair growing inside the ears. Make sure that the inside of the ears are shaved regularly. The hair inside the ear is a dirt catcher! The procedure of cleaning should be painless and uncomplicated, unless the dog fights an ear infection already! Regular ear cleaning will also help to accustom your dog to the procedure.
Use a cotton ball and soak it with rubbing alcohol, or Witch Hazel. Hold the cotton ball with thumb and index finger and stick it down his ear as deep as you can, holding the ear up with the other hand.
Swipe the ear with the cotton ball from bottom to the top with a turning motion. Sweeping out (not in) so any dirt will not be pushed down into the ear.  Before you repeat the procedure, check the cotton ball. If it is clean, repeat in different areas of the ear. If you see any dirt on the cotton ball, do not reuse it.
If the dog displays any signs of infection, perhaps wining during the cleaning procedure, blood on the cotton ball used for cleaning or excessive head shaking, it is recommended to use a medicated ear cleaning solution available at Pet Stores. If it has gone too far, of course a Vet visit is recommended to provide medical attention.
