How to Treat Your DOGS?

    

     So maybe we have tried to treat our dog, but it was really hard. Wahy should we do?
     The biggest mistake dog owners can make with their dogs is to treat them like humans. The human race is such a kind, compassionate species that we tend to look at our canine companions as little humans, when in reality, they are canines and have a very different thought process.
       This is what differentiates mankind from other species in pack societies; there must be a specific order, from the leader on down to the last follower. Everyone has a place. The leaders are the strength of the pack, while the followers need the leader to guide them.
       Dogs have an instinct to constantly test the being above them and an instinct to know they will always be tested by the being below them. Instinct tells them that if there is not a strong being in charge, their life and the lives of the rest of their pack are at stake. This primal instinct keeps the pack secure and happy.

Seven Wrong Myths About Dogs

   Be a good owner is really important for us. Because it can make our dogs become easy training and make us can undersand them well. But have we become a good owner for them?? Check this out, "Seven Wrong Myths About Dogs".

1. If our dogs' nose become warm, it doesn't mean   they are sick.

    Some of us maybe know about this myth. If their nose become dry or warm we always think that they are sick or cold. But it is wrong, actually their nose temperature can't mean they are sick or healthy. 

    So, if we want to know about their condition, we have to bring them to veterinarian and check their temperature. And, dogs' normal temperature is 38-39,1 degrees Celcius. It's true guys.

2. Human's Food, Dogs' Food??

     Okay, actually our food is different with their food. Some of us think that dogs' is omnivore, so they'll eat everything. But of course there also so many kinds of foods that really dangerous for dog. We can give them our foods, but we have to know which food is good for them too.

     In our food, there are garlic, onion, bone (chicken) and maybe fat which is really bad for our dogs' healthy. It can make a problem in their digestion like pancreatitis (pancreas disease). And, it causes death too.

3. 'House Dog' no need to be trained.

     Some of us think that the 'House Dog' no need to be trained, because they are clever and funny, just only for a playmate. So we always let them do anything they want.

     But it's wrong, every dogs need to be trained. It's their daily needs. Because if we don't train them, they will be lazy and can do anything well. If they have been 3-4 years old, they will be naughty and hard to train again.

4. Dogs, they are color-blind. Is that true??

     Some of us have known about this popular myth. We always think that dogs are color-blind. But actuallt they are not. They can distinguish color but of course it different with us.

       Color is really important for dogs to know their environment. The brightness, movement, and contrast will help them to see the condition around them. So, they are not color-blind.

5. The Old Dogs are hard to trained

     Maybe this myth appeare because we failed to train our dogs (which are old). But actually we can train them even they have been old. Dogs are always ready to learn anything (new tricks or new order) in their whole life.
        Dogs like to do something new. They like to try a new thing. So, it make dogs are always ready to learn so many new tricks. With patience, persistence, and consistency, every dogs' owner can teach them so many tricks.

6. Dogs like a 'yummy' food. Hmm...

     Dogs is a animal, so of course they like everything "yummy" and sweet. But you are wrong guys, dogs are different. They have a low appetite. They don't eat anything which is "yummy".

     Why?? Because they eat based on their sense of smell. They won't eat anything like the other animals. But with their sense of smell they can know about their food.

7. Dogs know they are false?? How about "Puppy Face"??

     Dog show "innocent face" or which is popular with "Puppy Face" not because they feel guilty for doing something bad, but because they are responding from their owners' body language which is not happy with something (dogs' bad behavior). 

         We know that it's hard to not show negative body language when we are angry with our dog. A 2009 study at Barnard College, New York revealed that dogs' guilt is caused by humans. So, because of their owner negative body language, our dogs will feel "strange" and make their "Puppy Face".
