Katherine S asked:


I have two semi large dogs. I have been feeding them Beneful dog food for as long as I have had them. I have had my oldest dog for nearly 2 years and the other over a year. However, they dont seem to be getting the nutrients that they need from this dog food. Are there any others that I could try giving them? Please help as I dont know what other kind to buy. I have tried a few other brands of dog food but they dont eat it. I appreciate your help.

Jason asked:


There are 3 dogs in the house. My roomates’ dogs have no problems with proper potty behavior.

My two year old G Shepherd is a great dog but not the smartest. While I am at work or away from the house I keep him in my room via a child gate (crates are terrible to me so not an option even as punishment) and he has never peed in my room. While I am at home he goes in and out about twice an hour and does his business outside but for no apparent reason he will *** on corners (always the same two) in the house. I don’t rub the nose but just use the “You’re a bad dog” routine. He sulks and knows he has done wrong but will not stop this behavior. Any clues?

Hunting dogs are an exclusive breed of canines that have been trained to work with humans when they are hunting. They are immeasurably beneficial to humans because they can perform numerous tasks that are useful to people.

They are especially beneficial to hunters during hunting expeditions; since they can aid them locating their prey. Hunting dogs come in varied classifications such as: hounds, gun dogs, terriers and curs.

Hounds- These dogs are grouped into sight hounds and scent hounds.

–Sight hounds are especially adept in tracking down their prey by keeping them in their view. They are experts when it comes to detecting motion because they have superior vision.

Characteristically, they have long legs, ears that have little flaps, and a very strong cardiovascular system. They are incredibly agile, which is valuable since they have to pursue fast animals on the run.

–Scent hounds hunt using their keen sense of smell to seek their prey. They have large nasal cavities which allows them to follow the scent of the killed or wounded prey, or fallen game. These hunting dogs are trained to do these tasks starting when they are only pups.

Some hunters train their dogs to follow smells by familiarizing them with the scent of the blood of the animal. They leave a blood trail to a piece of meat on the field and leave it sit out for a time: then they command their hunting dogs to track down the scent of the blood. When the dog finds the end of the trail, they are rewarded with signs of affection and praised by their owner.

The intent of this teaching is to familiarize the dog with trailing the blood and the scent of a fallen prey, so they will be ready when the time comes to go on a real hunting expedition.

In some states, such as New York, Wisconsin, Indiana, Texas, Vermont and Michigan, just to name a few, using dogs to retrieve deer, and other large game has been legalized. In other states this custom has not been adapted, so hunters who are thinking about taking their hunting dogs with them on their expedition for this reason, need to check the regulations and rules of the state, pertaining to this matter.

–Gun Dogs are hunting dogs that help their owner retrieve their downed game, including birds. They are also often called bird dogs.

–Terrier is a type of dog that was originally bred for the purpose of hunting and slaying vermin.

–Curs is the term usually used for dogs that are not purebred and are quite often deemed unworthy. But cur also applies to the types of hunting dogs that have been developed in the United States for the purposes of assisting in hunting. They are recognized for their superior hunting skills and abilities.

Caring for Hunting Dogs

Hunting dogs need to be kept in excellent shape, so it is imperative for their owners to carefully attend to their health. They should be provided a healthy diet. There is always the risk of the dog becoming overweight if its food intake is not carefully supervised.

Some dogs, such as greyhounds, require special attention when it comes to their diet. They are better off eating three small meals a day, because they have the tendency to become bloated if they try to eat heavy meals. Greyhounds are exceedingly susceptible to pesticides, chemicals, and medication; even flea collars could be harmful to a greyhound.

Hunting dogs continually need to exercise to sustain their agility and keep them in top condition. Their nails need to be trimmed at least every 2-3 weeks and they should be given regular baths to keep them clean.

Socialization

Hunting dogs should be trained to socialize with people, particularly if the dogs are also the family’s’ pets. Owners should get them used to interacting with various types of people. Many hunting dogs are just sociable by nature, such as a greyhound.

Don’t forget that hunting dogs are predatory by nature. They could pose some danger to small animals, pets, and even small children if they have not been trained to keep from acting upon these instincts.

Hunting dogs are a wonderful companion for any hunter since they can perform tasks that humans find rather difficult. This is why hunting dogs are priced according to their capabilities. They are truly remarkable creatures that will be useful to any hunter.

Vikram Kumar asked:


If you have a dog and need to choose a dog bed, you should consider a waterproof dog bed. This makes it easy for the bed to stay clean and dry, even if the dog is wet. This will also make it easy for any water on the dog to repel and the dog bed will have fewer odors. 

 

A waterproof dog bed makes sense when you are looking for supplies for your dog. In addition to choosing a dog bed, you should also consider a pen to keep the dog in or a crate. These are ideal if you are housebreaking the dog. 

 

A dog will generally not urinate where he is sleeping, so this is not the reason for the waterproof dog bed. The main reason is that the dog can get wet when being exercised outside and in the damp weather. When he lays down in his dog bed, he brings that moisture with him. When this seeps into the dog bed, it creates an odor that is formed due to mildew and mold. This can be unpleasant for both the dog as well as you. 

 

A good waterproof dog bed is one that has a covering that can be tossed right into the washer for cleaning. While your dog may prefer a dog bed that has an odor to it that smells like him, you will definitely prefer to have a dog bed that smells clean when it is in your home. 

 

If you have a dog bed that is outside, such as in a kennel, you need to definitely choose a waterproof dog bed. Larger animals that are kenneled or have dog houses still need a dog bed in which to sleep. A waterproof dog bed is the best solution for any dogs that are kenneled or kept in a dog house.  Even if your dog is only in the dog house for some of the time, it is a good idea to make it comfortable for him by installing a waterproof dog bed. 

 

You can get a waterproof dog bed in a variety of different sizes, depending on the size of your dog. They make a dog bed for all sized dogs, even very large ones. Naturally, the size of the dog bed coincides with the size of the dog. 

 

There are also different patterns and colors from which to choose when you are looking for a dog bed. While your dog will most likely not care whether his waterproof dog bed is blue or red, you can find one that you will like.  Your dog will most likely be attracted by the scent of the dog bed more than anything else. After you have cleaned the waterproof dog bed your dog will most likely roll in it to get his scent onto the bed. After all, he considers the bed to be part of his den and his safety zone. 

 

It is important for any dog owner to make sure that their dog is comfortable, especially when sleeping. You should choose dog beds for comfort as well as those that are waterproof.
