many people have asked how my dog Ace is doing. thank you for thinking of him.

Ace is doing OK.

He’s had an ongoing issue with a non-healing wound.

You can read some of the details here, but we are in the process of meeting with a second specialist and deciding whether to move forward with a CT scan and a second surgery.

I’m not looking for any advice but maybe just a little moral support. I also know I’m not the only one without answers to her dog’s medical issues. many others are in the same situation only with different issues and I want them to know they are not alone.

When I’m feeling this extreme stress about what decisions are best for my dog, one thing that helps is to take a step back and give myself the advice I give others when asked.

I’m a dog walker and dog blogger and you can think of the questions I get when it comes to the health of our pets and end-of-life decisions for them too.

“Am I doing the right thing?” people ask. “តើ​អ្នក​ចង់​ធ្វើអ្វី?”

And what I say to them is this:

“There is no right or wrong. You’re doing the best you can.”

So that’s what I’ve been telling myself with Ace.

You do the best you can.

All I can do is go with my best instincts, listen to our vets, discuss with my spouse and observe how Ace is doing. and consider financial limitations too.

Sometimes the right decisions are obvious.

Usually, they are not.

We’re comfortable with the decisions we’ve made so far, and I’m hoping to get some more answers soon. I’m hoping and praying (begging God, actually) that a second surgery will give Ace another year or two (or five!).

But I also want to be realistic about how much we want to put our almost 10-year-old dog through and how far we’re willing to go financially. There are no right answers here.

It’s heartbreaking.

What I could really use is your thoughts for Ace as we move forward with more appointments and decisions.

Ace’s issue does not seem to be life threatening at the moment (that we know of) but it is causing him some pain and discomfort. Our walks are slow and short and we spend a lot of time lounging around.

All your comments, emails and positive thoughts have meant a lot to me.

សូមអរគុណ។

-Lindsay (and of course Ace!)

Planning for the end of your pet’s life – difficult questions

How much should I spend on my pet’s vet bills?

My dog has a wound that won’t heal

Sign up to receive training tips & more in my weekly newsletter:

It’s overwhelming to think about how you’re going to socialize a new dog or puppy.

I created a list of different people, animals, situations, sights, sounds and experiences you may want to introduce to your pup.

It’s a huge list, but it’s not like you have to expose your puppy to everything.

Pick one or two new situations or experiences per week. It will help your puppy tremendously.

Try to think about your lifestyle and the situations you’d like your puppy to be comfortable with ideally.

I liked to take my old dog Ace on boat rides, for example, but this may not be something you plan to do with your dog.

Socialization is about slowly introducing the pup or dog to new things over time in a positive way. Don’t underestimate the power of hot dogs to help create positive associations!

So here’s my list. Please add your suggestions in the comments, because there’s no way I can think of everything myself.

Things to safely introduce to your puppy or new dog

1. introduce your puppy to different types of people

All types of “strangers” in general if you can. Women, men, seniors, teenagers, elementary-aged kids, pre-school kids, toddlers, babies, etc. The key: start taking your puppy for walks early. and make a point to drive to different parks and locations for walks.

2. introduce your puppy to different types of clothing

Sometimes different article of clothing can surprise a dog.

So try to introduce your puppy to people wearing backpacks, different types of hats, big coats, big sunglasses, uniforms, suits, boots, helmets, face masks, etc.

Also think about the different seasons. If you will take your dog out on cross country trails in the winter, they may be started by people on skis or people wearing goggles and face masks.

3. introduce your puppy to bikes, strollers, traffic, etc.

People in wheelchairs, people using crutches or walking with a cane, people pushing strollers, people on bikes or roller blades.

People walking at different speeds – runners, seniors moving stiffly and slowly, kids running and squealing, people running or biking with dogs, etc.

4. get your puppy used to seeing people holding tools

Shovels, rakes, weed-whackers, skis, oars, hiking poles, etc.

5. introduce your puppy to other animals

Cats, kittens, hamsters, ducks, chickens, horses, pet rabbits, any type of animal you think the pup might live with or be around later in life.

6. introduce your puppy to different surfaces

(Thanks for this tip, Colby!) Sand, rocks, gravel, pavement, slippery or shiny floors, wooden walkways, tiles, concrete, dirt, snow, grass, agility equipment.

7. get your puppy used to water

Swimming at the lake, the ocean, the river, plastic kiddie pool, playing with the hose, riding on a boat or floating on a raft, standing on a paddle board or sitting in a kayak, etc.

8. get your puppy used to grooming & handling

Being held or carried, having a bath, getting brushed & having nails trimmed, teeth brushed, having all body parts touched – feet, tail, nails, toes, ears, face, teeth.

9. get your puppy used to riding in the car

Going through a car wash, going through a drive-thru window, driving by lots of pedestrian traffic such as school parking lots, etc. See my friend Dawn’s tips on getting a dog used to the car.

10. introduce your puppy to riding in a boat

Or standing on a dock, fishing or watching boats.

11. introduce your puppy to a lot of other dogs

Dogs of all ages, sizes and breeds on and off leash, including other puppies. I highly recommend obedience or puppy socialization classes.

12. gradually expose your puppy to loud noises

You don’t want to scare your puppy, but I would start introducing your puppy to loud noises from a distance and then slowly move closer over a few weeks. things like trucks, trains, tractors, snowmobiles, motorcycles, school buses, lawnmowers, gun shots, fireworks. Our lab breeder suggests doing a gun intro at around 5-6 months for lab puppies and to do so very gradually, from a distance.

13. expose your puppy to loud indoor noises

Vacuum, blender, loud TV like football games, smoke alarms, musical instruments. Also, just loud people! like friends who yell at the TV during football games.

14. get your puppy used to being in a crowd

Examples could be a softball games, watching people run a 5K, parades, fairs, a gathering of friends, a family reunion, etc.

2. Selective process for making the treats

The components are not “just” human-grade quality, stated the company’s co-founder Marko Wittich. Campfire natural pet dog treats is extremely selective when selecting which U.S. farms as well as fisheries to work with.

“We get as well as create in little batches,” he said. “This indicates whatever is incredibly fresh.”

Why the name Campfire natural pet dog Treats?

I asked Wittich exactly how he selected the name of his company. He stated they were trying to find something with a strong link to “nature” considering that the treats are made without additives or preservatives.

“We like roasted marshmallows, however a campfire treat can go far beyond sweets,” he said. “Imagine an evening after a day hike in the mountains or being at the beach after a day on the boat, or anywhere you like to spend time outdoors, sitting at a campfire enjoying the sun set.”

“Picture the scene, picture the mood – absolutely submerged in nature,” he said. “This is the true campfire treat. This is what we had in mind when we, in truth my wife, came up with the name.”

I might definitely associate to that as one of the reasons I like dogs is since they get me out into nature:

ដើរនៅខែកញ្ញាឆ្កែ

ខ្ញុំនឹកពណ៌របស់គូដពាក់កណ្តាល។

ហើយជាការពិតមិត្តភក្តិទាំងនេះ។

តើអ្វីទៅជាផ្នែកដែលអ្នកចង់បានអំពីការដើរឆ្កែនៅរដូវស្លឹកឈើជ្រុះ?

Last month I composed about how my dog gets excited when he sees other dogs on walks and pulls.

A common problem, right?

It’s not that my dog is at all reactive, and he doesn’t even pull that hard. I just want him to remain focused and to continue heeling when we see other dogs.

I have high expectations.

I haven’t made much progress, because I haven’t made the effort to follow through with my training goals.

Instead of using a choke/slip collar and carrying treats as planned, I’ve been falling back on the gentle Leader. I love the gentle Leader, but it basically allows my dog to pull while minimizing the effects of pulling so I can “check out” on training. It’s terrific for when I take Ace to stores or busy events. It’s not terrific for when I’m working on training in the neighborhood.

So, I’ve decided to recommit to my original goals:

[Check_list]

Use a prong collar. I’ve decided that works better than our cheap, heavy choke collar Ace is wearing in the photo below.

Carry treats.

Keep enough distance from other dogs so I can reward good behavior.

Slowly increase the challenges.

[/ ពិនិត្យ_list]

To do this, I always have treats in my coat pocket ahead of time so they’re always there. otherwise it’s too easy for me to skip the treats.

I’ve also cut my dog’s daily food back by about 1/6 so the extra treats won’t cause weight gain. This will also keep him more interested in treats since he won’t be too full. He’s pretty treat motivated, but it always helps to train when the dog is looking for a meal!

The reason I like the prong collar is because it feels like a regular collar to my dog (vs. having something over his nose with the gentle Leader).

When we pass other dogs, I keep the leash loose (no tension) so my dog can make the choice on how to respond. I use the command “watch” while luring him with a treat. If that doesn’t work, I give him a light tug on the prong collar followed by a “good boy!” and a treat when he looks at me.

It’s very basic training, and it works well for us when I follow through. This is how I trained by dog when I first got him.

I also like the prong collar because I can switch the leash back and forth between the prong collar and the nylon collar and my dog won’t even notice. The goal is to get to the point where he doesn’t need the prong collar.

I’m hoping if we work on this each day for about a month, I will notice significant improvements.

So, how about the rest of you?

Do you have any training goals for your dog walks?

Note: Dawn Ross of the Pet automobile safety blog shares her ideas on how to help a pet dog that doesn’t like riding in the car.

What is the normal image that pertains to mind when you think of a pet dog in the car?

It’s the pet dog with his head out the window and a big, puppy grin on his face, right?

But for whatever reasons (bad experience, unfamiliarity, fearful tendencies, for example) some dogs really do not like riding in the car.

If you have such a dog, here are some things that can help.

How to train your pet dog to like riding in the car

The primary thing you can do to help a pet dog that is terrified of automobile rides is to introduce him to the automobile slowly and positively.

People don’t get rid of their fears overnight, so don’t expect these training ideas to “cure” your pet dog of his concern quickly either. The following steps will take time (days, weeks or longer), and it is even possible that your pet dog will never come to like riding in the car.

But in the long run, pet dog training methods using desensitization, counter conditioning, and positive reinforcement can go a long way to help minimize your dog’s anxiety.

1. introduce your pet dog to the outside of the car.

Introduce your pet dog to the automobile from the outside, but don’t take him in the car. walk around it, let your pet dog sniff it, and reward him with treats or his favorite toy. If you use clicker training, click and reward. If you use your voice, praise in an upbeat tone. always keep your voice upbeat.

2. sit in the automobile without the automobile running.

Once your pet dog is safe with step 1, sit in the automobile with him but don’t turn the automobile on. get him to play if you can or just sit quietly and reward him with treats. Be careful about soothing (more on that below).

3. sit in the automobile with the automobile running.

Make sure your pet dog is comfortable with step 1 and 2, then sit in the automobile with the automobile running but don’t go anywhere (make sure your automobile is outside and not in the garage in buy to stop carbon monoxide poisoning). If it is just you training your dog, sit at the wheel and have your pet dog sit where you are going to expect him to sit when you drive. considering that you’re not driving, it is ok to distract your pet dog with treats or toys.

4. Take short drives.

Once it seems your pet dog has gotten used to being in your automobile when it’s running, take short drives around town. If possible, avoid too much turning as this can cause automobile sickness. go to the drive-through at your bank or favorite fast food place. check out a park or a pet store. Make sure your destination is not a place your pet dog hates, like the groomer or vet office. and make sure you never leave your pet dog alone in the automobile while you run errands.

5. Make your trips a bit longer.

At this point, you can start to make the road trips longer and longer. Remember, the a lot more frequently you do these steps, the better. For example, do step 1 three times a day each day for weeks, if needed, before moving onto the next step. once you get to step 4, try to do it once a day or a few times a week. The amount of time it takes for each step depends on your consistency and on your dog’s level of concern of automobile rides.

Other valuable ideas to get a pet dog used to the car

Dog training is a long-term option that can take even longer if you are not working at it regularly. Fortunately, there are a few supporting ideas to help. some of the following ideas may do the trick to help your pet dog be less stressful on automobile rides, but a lot of are simply supporting methods that work best in conjunction with pet dog training. ពួកគេ​គឺជា:

1. A pet crate.

Some dogs feel a lot more comfortable in a den-like enclosure. If your pet dog is already crate trained, using the familiarity of her own “den” can add to her comfort. often dogs don’t like to ride in the automobile because they keep sliding off the seat when you take a turn or stop. A pet travel crate can also help with this. Incidentally, so can a pet dog automobile seat belt. learn a lot more about these products here and here.

2. Familiar items.

Your pet dog will probably be much a lot more comfortable in the automobile if there is something he is familiar with such as his own pet bed or a few toys.

3. Pet anxiety remedies.

There are a number of medications, pet dog appeasing pheromones (DAP), natural herbal remedies and anxiety wraps that claim to help dogs be calmer. Your vet may be able to supply a calming medication with L-Theanine, Benzodiazepines or other types of pet anxiety drugs.
