Why is my dog too much shy or submissive with other dogs?
Q. My german sherperd dog is already 10 months old. She is still very shy with other dogs. Even a very small size dog can chase her. If other dogs approach her aggresively, she submited immediately. I would like her to play with other dogs happily with confidence. Most dogs she met in off-leash park were very nice(not as aggressive as she thought). Please give me some tips on how to train her to be confident like a gsd should be.

A. Unfortunately, while GSDs are *supposed* to be confident, many are not. Many in the US are products of back yard breeders and because of this they are prone to improper temperament. Also, at ten months old, she is still very much a baby. You wouldn't expect a toddler to stand up to a bullying teenager no matter how small or dorky that teenager was. It is your job to get in there when other dogs approach her aggressively and get her out of the situation/prevent the other dog from approaching. As someone else mentioned, I would rather have a dog that submits to even the smallest dog than one that is fearful or aggressive to them...especially a breed like the GSD with it's dubious public relations/reputation.

How can I get my dogs to get along better?
Q. They don't fight or anything like that. My oldest dog (2 1/2 year old Boston Terrierr) lets my new puppy ( 2 month old Jack Russel Terrier) basically dominate him. She nips at him, chews on his toys and chases him all over the house and our yard. I guess I figured since he is the older dog, was in the house first and is male, he would be the dominant dog. But, she is dominating him. My male dog is fairly passive and will not bark at her, or nip/bite her. I am unsure if I should do anything or just let "dogs be dogs" and let them work it out. I guess I feel my male dog, seeing as how we got him first, should be the dominant dog. But maybe not.

A. With dogs, as with people or other social animals, there will almost always be an alpha male, who dominates the others, or a wise old female, as with the elephants, who leads the herd. Get your dogs together, pet each one of them, praise each one, but start with the weakest, the one whom the others dominate. Let the alpha male know you don't award merit according to brute force or aggressivity. Talk to your dogs. They do listen and understand much more than most people give them credit for. Maybe they don't understand the way; we do understand (or fail to) each other, but dogs figure out voice tone, timbre, pitch, and other qualities of the human and other animals voices.

How to socialize my dog with other dogs?
Q. I have a male maltese mixed, 1 1/2 years old at home and recently adopted a new dog, a 3 years old male shih tzu. The problem is, the shih tzu basically does not get along with all dogs, not just my current maltese mixed. He'll growl whenever a dog comes near him and even attempt to attack and bite other dogs. Since he is a rescued dog, I do not have any information of his past. He marks very often though I've tried to correct him many times. How do teach him to be calmed and submissive when he's around with other dogs?

A. Is he neutered? If not, get him neutered and that should lessen the marking...but once that becomes a habit you can't train him not to mark areas in the house... As for socializing, you just have to work with him. My mix also hated other dogs, but I would just take her to dog parks or an area with dogs, keep her on leash and gauge her reaction. Even with the dogs far away she would often growl and I would tell her "no". After a few times doing this, she would not growl in the dog park, so I would treat her. We began moving closer and closer to the dogs, waiting until she wouldn't growl and then getting closer. Over time I would allow her to go up to other dogs, always being careful to be aware of her reactions (i.e. hackles raised, tail in… [cont.]

How can I get my dog to be less aggressive with other dogs?
Q. I've had my dog for about 2 months now. I rescued him from a shelter, he came from an abusive background but he's a great dog. He's very aggressive with other dogs though.

A. I like to use Iams kitten kibble as a teaching treat. Put a handful in your pocket. take your dog for a walk, and as soon as people approach, just before he would normally bark, make a signal, such as 'tsk-tsk', and give him a treat. As the people are passing, continue to give him a few kibbles. If he doesn't bark, give loads of praise. Don't scold him if he does bark, but ignore it. keep this up for a couple of weeks, if walked daily, and he will get the point, and begin wagging his tail, and looking to you as soon as people or dogs approach.

How come people say milk is bad for dogs?
Q. 2 stories: My husband had a dog when we were dating about 9years ago. He found the dog laying on the ground taking his last breath almost dying and growing up people told us when a dog is sick give them milk. My husband gets the gallon of milk ,opens the dogs mouth and makes the dog drink it. After 5 minutes the dog gets up, almost falling but gets up and starts walking. That dog died of old age. Another story: My small female chihuahua was coughing and vomiting and I gave her milk, within a few minutes, I no longer heard the cough and she stopped vomiting. Do my dogs just have strong digestive systems or what? Or does Milk really help sick dogs?Just wondering if anyone else has used this on there sick dog?

Is it possible for a dog to be allergic to another dogs coat?
Q. I take my german shepherd every once in a while to play with an american bulldog. The american bulldog's owner told me that her dog stayed itching himself all night long after it played with my dog. My dog is free from fleas & ticks. The other dog is also free from fleas & ticks. Someone mentioned dogs can be allergic to other dogs coats. Is this possible?

A. Hmmm. A German Shepherd has a double coat. I would seem possible that allergens or pollen could adhere to the undercoat or to the outer coat. So, I guess my answer would be that the other dog could be allergic to something that is on the shepherd's coat, but not to the coat itself. It the shepherd goes for walks in any wooded area or rolls in the grass etc, then pollen could easily be found on the coat. My son' s dog is allergic to spruce pollen and he lives in Alaska. There are spruce trees all over the place up there. Pollen or allergens could cause a skin reaction or a nasal/cough type reaction depending on whether it was breathed in or rubbed onto the skin.

How many other dogs does your dog meet?
Q. Some people seem to keep their dogs away from other dogs, so my question is how many other dogs does your dog meet in a day . Me and my dog meet 4 other dog walkers, with 7 dogs every morning. There is no one else around at that time in the morning so all 8 dogs run round the park together. In the evening my dog meets a few other dogs but I tend to keep him on the lead, there are too many distractions around to let him off the lead at that time.

If the other dog is submissive, things are fine, but at times she just doesn't get along with others--especially if it's an adult dog.

Q. When she first meets a dog she automatically tries to establish dominance. If the other dog is submissive, things are fine, but at times she just doesn't get along with others--especially if it's an adult dog. Is there a way that I can be the dominant one and keep her from doing this with other dogs or do I just need to let the dogs work it out.

Fighting dogs is a hot issue. Is it equally cruel to hunt animals for sport?
Q. Dog fighting is becoming more of a hot button issue. Dogs are virtually innocent creatures that should serve as a companion. Oftentimes they are used as an assistant in the recreational killing of other animals. Fighting dogs and roosters is no longer an acceptable form of entertainment. Why do people accept the killing of game for purposes other than food and warmth? How can a group of armed men chasing animals be considered a sport?

A. Hunters eat their kills or find someone who will. Yes, they take the head as a trophy, but you don't eat the head anyway. Also, game animals have EVOLVED to be hunted. If they aren't culled, they over breed and kill eco-systems. Deer are responsible for more human death than Moutain Lions and bears COMBINED! Don't feel sorry for them, really, their fine. Fighting dogs are tortured. They are beaten, starved, and forced to tear apart family members. Gosh, that sounds nice doesn't it?

Why do dogs jump up onto something when we pat on the object?
Q. I've never understood this- why do some dogs automatically think to jump up onto something when a human pats their hand on the object? Why do people automatically assume the dog will do it (some dogs do not)? Why do we "pat the seat" to entice a dog to sit in a certain spot?

A. I'm guessing it is learned. Dogs are good with signals as commands (some better than others,) so they recognize that signal as the okay to join you. When it is time to go to sleep, my dogs have to wait until I give permission to get on the bed. One responds to the verbal command, the other one needs to see the signal (me, patting the bed,) before he will jump up.

What is the best way to teach dogs not to fight with neighbor dogs through the fence?
Q. My dogs jump at the fence and bark at the neighbors' dogs, and their dogs do the same to outs, and it drives me crazy! It's also dangerous. My dogs are small/medium (34 lbs and 14 lbs) but the neighbors have huge Goldern Retrievers and a really vicious-looking pit bull type terrier. My dogs are a whippet and a 14 lb jack russell-type mixed terrier. Shock collars are not an option for use on our dogs. Please help! thanks.

A. they need constant supervision. have them on a leash at first, then when they want to fight with the other dogs, correct them. it has to be consistent. do not praise them for barking, praise them for behaving. then eventually u can have them free roam the yard, with out that problem. good luck, my dogs had the same problem, and i did that. it worked.

If dog food is bad for dogs than what should we feed them?
Q. I just ask a question on what food dogs can't eat and there was a long list, practically almost everything. I am planning to get a dog and want to know everything I can.
Asked by Cupids Flower - Mon Jun 25 03:14:07 2007 - - 11 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Many people decide to cook at home for their pets, which is being suggested by many vets. There has been an uproar about what dogs are allergic to. I read an article about Golden Retrievers. It said that Goldens can be sensitive to corn, wheat and soy. Their food consists of wheat, so basically, many Golden Retrievers were having problems that could be easily avoided. "People food" has turned out to be OK for dogs, but not too much. But of course, stay away from chocolate etc. As I said, many people have turned to cooking for their dogs. Best of Luck! :o)

Can dogs have a small amount of decaffinated coffee in there cookies?
Q. I know caffeen is bad for dogs, but my dog loves the smell of coffee. She goes nuts when I come home with a cup of Dunkin!! I was wondering if it would be a problem if I baked her some plain dog cookies using a cup or so of decaffinated coffee in place of water? I guess the overall amount would be on cup of decaffinated coffee split up amongst 40 - 50 cookies. Thanks!

A. I can't see how it would harm, other than increasing her likely hood of stealing your coffee.. dogs love cookies made with carob, and it is cheap, and so good for them too..You will find it in the health section of the grocer's..
