Play with owners and with other dogs provides your dog not only with an outlet for physical exercise, but also helps to fill your dog’s social needs.

Insufficient exercise can contribute to problem behaviors including destructiveness (chewing and digging), investigative behavior (garbage raiding), hyperactivity, unruliness, excitability, attention-getting behaviors, and even some forms of barking. It is especially important to ensure that a dog’s need for exercise and social interaction have been met prior to leaving the dog alone at home and prior to lengthy crating or confinement sessions.

Dogs never talk about themselves but listen to you while you talk about yourself & keep up an appearance of being interested in the conversation.

Always consult your veterinarian before giving your pup any medicine. Even OTC meds that are generally considered safe for dogs may be potentially dangerous for certain breeds or dogs with underlying conditions.

The best toy for a Chihuahua would be quickly torn to shreds by a Labrador that loves to chew.

On the flip side, a dog toy that could withstand a powerful Labrador bite would probably be too heavy for a small dog, like a Chihuahua, to carry around.

This makes it all too easy to buy a toy that your dog refuses to use. Or worse, destroys in a matter of seconds.

1. A ball is a must-have toy for any dog that loves to play fetch. Ball toys for dogs come in many varieties, from the basic tennis ball or rubber ball to glow-in-the-dark and flashing-light balls. Many balls contain squeakers. Others have openings to fill with treats. Some balls are are basic bouncers meant for retrieving.

2. Dogs that love balls and playing fetch also tend to enjoy discs and other retrieval toys. The disc is a bit more versatile than a ball when it comes to fetching because you can vary the speed of the disc and cause it to change direction. This variety can further challenge your dog and prevent boredom.

Other retrievers, such as the "Hurley" give your dog a uniquely shaped toy to fetch. Alternative fetch toys may be made of rubber, plastic, rope, or another material

3. Many dogs adore plush toys. They will carry them around like babies or tear them apart like prey. Stuffed dog toys usually contain squeakers and some kind of stuffing. Dogs often rip into them and stuffing goes everywhere. Many dogs seem to be trying to "kill" their "prey" by destroying the squeaker. After the toy is "dead" they still sometimes carry them around and shake them.

4. Non-plush squeaky toys come in many shapes and sizes. Typically, they are made out of vinyl, rubber, or plastic. Durability varies, so choose wisely according to your dog's chewing habits. In general, thick rubber is best for aggressive chewers. Thinner vinyl or plastic toys are better for mild chewers or if you will be supervising play at all times. The benefit of thinner squeaky toys is that they are often very inexpensive. The downside is that they don't typically last very long.

Crate Training a Dog: Dog Training Plan

Why this is useful for your dog to know: Teaching your dog to be comfortable in a crate will have many benefits for both you and your dog. The crate can be a place of comfort and security for dogs, as well as a tool to help with potty training or prevention of destructive behaviors. When trained correctly, many dogs enjoy their crate time. Dogs are often required to live in crates for a time if there is an emergency, such as an evacuation, or an injury.
End behavior: The dog will happily and comfortably enter his crate on cue, and stay in the crate for up to four hours with or without people at home.

Method 1: Food lures and puzzles

Method 2: Feeding meals in the crate

Notes

Never force a dog into the crate. The goal of crate training is to make the crate a safe, happy place where the dog will want to go and spend time. If the dog appears anxious or unhappy about being in the crate at any point during training, back up in the plan to the previous step.

Nothing can beat the heat of summer better than seasonal fruits like watermelon, muskmelon or oranges. Another thing that your dog would love to munch in the scorching heat is chicken stock cubes. Just grab an ice tray, pour in some chicken stock, freeze it and offer them to your dog to nibble on.

How to Train Your Puppy to Stop Chasing 🐱

These steps will help teach your pup to accept the muzzle:

Show the puppy the muzzle. Let it sniff the muzzle so it becomes a familiar item.
Hold the basket muzzle like a bowl.
Put a favorite treat inside and show it to the pup.
Hold the muzzle so the pup sticks its nose inside to get the treat.
Repeatedly offer the treat from the muzzle 10 to 15 times.
Finally, fasten the muzzle and reward the puppy with a treat. Then, take the muzzle off promptly.
Wait a couple of hours and repeat. This time, leave the muzzle on longer and reward often.

🐾Dog care in summer🐾
Here are some steps you can take to ensure your dog stays cool during the summer months.
🐾Never leave dogs in hot cars, conservatories, outbuildings or caravans on a warm day (even if only for a short while). When it's 22°C outside, temperatures can quickly rise to 47°C (117°F) in these environments, which can be fatal.
🐾Use pet-safe sun cream on exposed parts of your pet's skin, such as the tips of their ears and nose, to avoid sunburn. 🐾This is especially important if your dog has white or light-coloured fur, as they can be very vulnerable to getting burnt. If you're unsure which is the right product to use, please ask your vet.
Ensure pets always have access to shade and fresh drinking water to help keep them cool.
🐾Check every day for flystrike - this can be fatal.
🐾Put ice cubes into your dog's water bowl or make some tasty ice cube treats. You could also freeze a kong with treats and water!
🐾Give your pet damp towels to lie on (never place a damp towel over your dog as this can trap in heat) or an ice pack wrapped in a towel. Both simple methods could provide welcome relief from the heat
🐾If you're planning a day out with your dog, check before leaving home whether dogs are allowed. If they're not, arrange a pet-sitter or choose another, dog-friendly attraction.
🐾Groom them regularly - regular grooming in warmer weather can help brush away any dead or excess hair, leaving your dog with a less dense coat - much better for staying cool!
🐾Dogs may also appreciate a paddling pool to splash around in, although not all dogs like water, so there's no need to force them if they don't want to!
