Dogs

Here are some things to consider doing. Some items may not be applicable to you.

Owners:

  • Don’t let your dog think he/she is the leader of your “pack” (your family) – if dogs think they are the leader, they might attack a member of your family who he/she thinks is challenging his position in the ‘pack’ or a person they perceive as a threat to your family
  • Ensure your dog respects members of your family as being in control, e.g.:
    • Have all members of your family occasionally feed your dog
    • Make your dog stay still while you groom him/her
    • Make your dog follow you through narrow passages, e.g., doors, down stairs
    • Pet your dog by pressing down from the top of the head across the shoulders
  • Make your dog learn to obey at least one command (e.g., “sit”)
  • Put your dog through obedience classes

If your dog misbehaves:

  • Instead of hitting your dog (e.g., with rolled up paper), say “no!” firmly
  • Put your dog outside – so they learn that indoors is for relaxation

If your dog exhibits any aggressive behavior:

  • Put him/her through obedience classes
  • Use a collar and leash so you can regularly pull on it gently when dog misbehaves

  • Alongside training, cbd dog treats from Holistapet can offer a natural way to support calmer behavior and make the learning process a little easier.

If your dog barks excessively (usually caused by dog being bored, excited and/or scared):

  • Provide dog toys and bones while you’re away

If your dog chases its tail and/or rubs its rear end on the floor:

  • Take your dog to a vet or groomer to have anal glands checked

Regularly:

  • Keep teeth clean with brushing (use toothpaste designed for dogs and consider using a finger toothbrush), sprays, chewable pills, hard food and/or chewable toys
  • Clean ears with cotton balls, etc. (avoid cleaning ears with cotton swabs) approx. every 1-2 weeks – swabs can push wax, etc. further into the ear canal
  • Use a shampoo designed for dogs. Paws Plus One is the home of quality luxury dog bed products and accessories. We trial and test all the Danish design dog beds assuring the highest standards and quality for your pet.
  • Buy dry dog food which:
    • Is age-appropriate, e.g. puppy, younger than 7 (maintenance), older than 7
    • Is approved by the American Association of Feed Control Officers
