Choosing a Dog Toy for Christmas

There are different reasons to choose a dog toy for Christmas. For instance, your dog may love a squeaky toy like most dogs because when your dog hears the toy squeak, he or she thinks they have caught an injured animal.

Another dog toy you can buy for your dog at Christmas is a dog Frisbee. Frisbees are superior exercise. The best choice for a Frisbee for your dog is a soft plastic so that your dog’s mouth or teeth are less likely to become injured. Dogs that play Frisbee the best are Labrador retrievers and Border collies.

Do not forget the popular dog ball for Christmas. Make sure that the ball is large enough so your dog will not choke. A good way to test the ball is to see if it will go through a paper towel tube or toilet paper tube. If the ball does not go through either of the tubes, your dog is safe. Choose a ball that will bounce unpredictably as dogs would rather play with something that moves that is not predictable.

Your dog may love a stuffed animal. A stuffed animal with a squeak in it or crinkly paper is a great Christmas dog toy.

Have fun shopping for your dog for a dog toy as a surprise Christmas gift to open up with the rest of the family.

How To Tell If Your Dog is Pregnant

You may have purposely mated your dog or you may suspect your dog is pregnant. Here are the signs that your dog could be having puppies in the near future:

Your dog may have a change of behavior. For instance, if you normally have a very affectionate dog, when she is pregnant she may become crabby and want to be left alone. This works both ways-- a loner dog may become very needy and want a lot of attention from you.

Has your dog changed her eating habits? Maybe she does not want to eat much at all. Have no fear as in a few weeks she will regain her appetite and she will be famished. She will need to eat more food that is high in protein to feed herself and her puppies. As she nears her delivery date, about one month beforehand, make sure you add puppy food to her food so she gets added nutrients for her puppies.

If your female dog is sleeping a lot more, you can have her checked by your vet to see if she is pregnant. Her nipples will get larger as her glands are getting ready to produce milk for the newborn puppies.

You may have noticed your dog is gaining weight. This weight gain is due to the puppies she is going to deliver. Let your dog relax and do not try to move her around a lot. She will still need some exercise each day so take her outside for short walks together.

Your Dog Questions Answered

Doggie-Corral likes to share answers to common questions you may have about owning a dog as well as some not so common questions. As always, if you have a dog question please feel free to ask!

How often should I brush my dog?
You should brush your dog at least 3 x’s per week in the spring. By doing so, you will eliminate much of the dreaded shedding in the winter---practically 100%!

Should I buy a sweater for my dog?
If you have a short haired breed or a small dog it is good to put a dog sweater or dog jacket on your dog when he/she goes outdoors.

My dog should only eat once a day. I like to feed him at dinnertime. Should I give him more food any other time of the day?
You can give your dog a little food in the morning just to get rid of the grumbling tummy noises.

I do not think that my dog will ever bite even when he barks. Other people’s dogs I do not trust. I think that their dogs will bite me if I come close to them, why is that?
You should never EVER assume that your dog will not bite--unless your dog believes this as well.

My dog keeps getting into our garbage in the kitchen. How can I train him not to do this?
Your best bet is to keep your garbage inside of your kitchen cabinets, perhaps under your kitchen sink. This is the only way you will protect your dog and a possible mess.

Protect Your Child-Dog Biting

You can start to train your young child on how not to get bit by a dog. There are a few rules that can help you protect your child from getting bit by a dog.

Teach your child never to run or walk up to a strange dog. Tell your child never to pet a dog that is alone. If a dog is with its owner, teach your child to ask the owner if it is okay to pet their dog.

To help prevent a dog bite wait for a dog to come to you. Tell your child never to go up to a dog that is tied up to try to pet him/her.

If your child is given permission to pet a dog, tell your child to slowly hold out his or her hand and let the dog smell it. When petting the dog teach your child to let the dog sniff his/her hand first. Once the dog is done pet the dog’s body instead of the dog’s head or face. Of course, let your child know that he or she should never poke at the dog’s eyes, mouth or nose. When petting the dog never stare into the dog’s eyes or he may think it is a challenge and therefore may bite.

If a dog starts to growl, teach your child not to run from the dog. Stay still and look at the dog but not into the dog’s eyes.

By following the above rules you can help to keep your child safe from dog bites.

Dog Routines:Bathroom & Walking

Dogs truly like routines. It actually comes natural for a dog to want a routine. Therefore, you should stay consistent when it comes to training your dog. When you stay consistent you will show your dog that you are the one that is in control. Consistency also shows your dog what his or her family role is within your household.

Throughout the day you should have some time with your dog. For example, of course your dog needs to go outside to go to the bathroom. You should at least have four times per day your dog can go outside to go to the bathroom. Keep the times separated apart for instance, every four hours, if you are home. When you take your dog outside to go to the bathroom always use the same phrase such as, “Go outside to potty!”

You should also take your dog out for walks once or twice a day. Walking dog routines benefit you and your dog greatly. You will expel some of the energy your dog has and you both will get exercise. Get your hearts moving to stay healthy! When planning your daily walks, make sure you do it at the same time each day. Two excellent times to walk are in the morning before you have to go to work or right before/after breakfast if you stay at home. The second walk may be right when you return from work or after dinner. If you are 15 minutes or more late for your walk, your dog will know this as dogs can sense the variations.

When taking your dog out to go to the bathroom or for a walk, make sure he/she is warm enough with a dog jacket, dog sweater and dog boots.

Your Questions Answered About Your Dog

We continue with our weekly blog answering your questions. Remember to ask any questions you may have at the end of the blog and they shall be answered for you.

Why do dogs bury bones? The burying of bones is part of a dog's instinctive feeding ritual.

Why does my dog shake a sock or a toy in his mouth? Shaking things viciously is part of the hunting ritual for dogs.

We are thinking of getting a new puppy but we are afraid that our three year old dog will be very jealous. What should we do? Although your dog might be jealous of a new puppy when you first get it, this usually passes quickly since dogs are social animals.

Are dogs loyal to us because we are the ones that feed them? No, dogs do not become loyal because you feed them, but because of the companionship you give them.

How can I get my new dog to sleep at the foot of my bed? As soon as your new dog is comfortable with his or her new home, move it to the location where you will want it to sleep for his/her lifetime.

Why do dog’s pant? A dog’s nose is used for smelling as well as to keep him cool. That is the reason why a dog pants. Another fact is the longer the dog's nose, the better his cooling system works.

How often should I exercise my dog? Your dog needs to work off excess energy every day!

Customer Pick: The Furminator

Another reason people may have to get rid of their dog due to shedding is allergies. Perhaps you all of a sudden became allergic to your dog as allergies can happen at anytime in one’s life.

Get Rid of Old Dog Toys

With the current economy you may be trying to save money. You know your dog’s toys are getting worn out and old. You may think your dog will not choke on his old dog toys, but accidents do happen.

If your dog has old toys that are ripped or falling apart, please throw them out. Even if one of the old dog toys is your dog’s favorite dog toy, it may harm him. You do not want to end up taking your dog to the vet emergency room and spending hundreds of dollars to save your dog. Not to mention the heartbreak you will feel if your dog has to undergo surgery…or worse. You will have painful guilt on something so easy that could have been prevented.

If the squeaky part of the dog toy is seen through a hole in the toy, please throw out the dog toy as it is an accident waiting to happen.

To figure out if you should throw out the old dog toy, think of it as if your dog is a two year old child. Would the two year old child be able to safely play with the toy? If the answer is “no” then it is time to throw out the old dog toy.

There are many dog toys that are inexpensive. You could buy one dog toy for your dog at this time. Maybe ask for dog toys for a Christmas gift. You can find plush dog toys, chewy dog toys, etc. There is sure to be a new and safe dog toy you can give your beloved dog.

Your Questions Answered About Your Dog

We will answer questions you may have about your dog. If you have a question you would like answered, please leave it in the comment section. As always, ask your veterinarian for any important information concerning your dog’s health.

Why do some dog’s chase cars? Dogs that like to chase cars have learned that cars run away. This is reinforced every time a dog chases the car away.

How can I teach my dog to catch a ball?
If you are trying and trying to teach your dog to catch a ball without success, try throwing a soft piece of fabric or other soft item. Some dogs find this easier. Once your dog gets good at catching the piece of fabric, move onto trying to catch a ball.

Why shouldn’t I stare directly into the eyes of a strange dog? Many dogs take staring directly into the eyes as a challenge and you may encourage him or her to bite you.

A family member in my house is allergic to dogs, do I have to get rid of my dog?
You can try bathing your dog every week. Your dog will shed less dry skin by doing so. It may help to add a teaspoon of cooking oil to your dog’s meal. (Extra virgin olive oil is the best cooking oil to use.)

Each week we will answer dog questions to give you more helpful information.

Puppy Information

If your dog has had puppies, there are a few things you should know about the new puppy arrivals.

Each puppies’ eyes will not open until the puppies are 10 to 15 days old. When your puppies are about four weeks old then it’s vision should be complete.

Your puppies should stay near their mother as well as other brothers and sisters to stay warm. Your puppies will be born blind, deaf and they will not have any sense of smell.

If you are thinking of selling or giving away the puppies, please wait at least eight weeks before separating the puppies from their mother. The mother will teach the puppies how to get along with other dogs as well as teach them not to bite.

When choosing a puppy, the most confident puppy may make the worst pet as he or she sees himself/herself as the pack leader.

Make sure new puppy owners give their puppy its own sleeping “den”. Suggest that they can use a dog crate or even a cardboard box. The puppy will feel much more secure. Ignore the whining the first few nights when it’s bedtime. If you come running to the rescue it will only encourage the whining. Otherwise, tell new owners to plan to sleep with the puppy the first few nights. The new puppy is taken away from its mother and siblings as well as taken to an entirely new house. Most people would be frightened by this as a youngster as well.

Healthy food, plenty of water, exercise and vet appointments will get the puppy started off on the right track.

Puppy Dog Toys

If you have a puppy you need to give him or her some puppy dog toys. You will help prevent your puppy from chewing on items he/she should not. If you catch your puppy chewing on your dining room table’s wooden chair leg, show the puppy his/her dog chew toy. Anytime you catch your puppy chewing on something that should not be chewed on, hand a chew toy to him/her to direct the attention away from the item that should not be chewed on.

There are puppy dog toys that can be put in the freezer and given to your puppy. This will help your puppy make it through the teething stage. Once your puppy is done playing with the chew toy, simply put it back in the freezer for another time.

Do not buy puppy dog toys that have pieces that can fall off when chewed. Items inside of the dog toy is not a good idea. Your puppy may eventually chew right through to the center and end up choking or swallowing the item inside. You don’t want to have to pay for surgery to get the dog toy item out of your puppies intestine.

Do not give your puppy toys that have eyes and noses that can be chewed off. These dog toys are not safe. Neither are dog toys that have strings that can wrap around your puppy and choke his/her neck.

The Fun of Dog Toys

Your dog wants to have a little fun in her life. She would enjoy a few dog toys so she can play with you. She also needs some dog toys to chew on. You do not want your dog to chew on your furniture or shoes; dog toys for your dog can help prevent this.

You and your dog can play Frisbee outdoors. This is great exercise for the both of you. You may have to play over and over to train your dog to catch the Frisbee and bring it back to you. With patience this will become a very fun game for the two of you. Picture going to a public beach that allows dogs and playing Frisbee together in the warm sand.

Give your dog a plush dog toy or two. She can snuggle with the plush dog toy as well as chew on it. The plush dog toy may become her favorite item to carry around the house.

Get your dog a Dog Kong Toy. She will have a blast chewing on it trying to get the treat from the middle of it. You can fill the dog toy with peanut butter for an extra workout for your dog.

You can always have fun with a ball and your dog. Even an old~ fashioned stick from the great outdoors can give you and your dog hours of fun outside.

Make sure you choose the correct size dog toy for your dog. You do not want to have your sweet dog accidentally choke on her dog toy.
