DOG CARE AT HOME (PART-3)

• Many dogs dread a nail clipping, although you should try to maintain your dogs nails once a week with dog nail clippers.
• Helping your pup get use to regular nail trimmings may take patience, but it can be done.
• Instill the practice early on with your dog by giving treats afterward, along with hugs, scratches behind the ear, and words of encouragement.
• Always use the nail trimmers with awareness on your pup's paws, trimming too close will result in pain for your pooch.
• Know where to cut down to before taking on the assignment of trimming your dog's nails.
• If you look at the nail you will notice a pink area further down where the vein is; trim above the pink.
• Cutting the nail too short is known as "quickening" and is severely painful for your dog.
• If there is a misfortune make sure you have a nail cauterize handy (it will stop the bleeding with heat). 

DOG CARE AT HOME (PART-2)

• At least once a month (depending on the breed and activities of the pooch) you should set aside a chosen bath time for your furry friend. 
• Avoid using human hair care on your dog, instead utilize the dog shampoo and dog conditioner brands available.
• There's even doggy hair gel if you want to get super fashionable.
• To keep from drying your pup’s skin out, don't wash your pal more than once every two weeks, and use dry dog shampoo if you feel like they need a little sprucing up.
• Another way to provide a water-free bath is to sprinkle baking soda on your dog's coat and then brush off the excess; your pooch's first bath should not be until after five weeks of age.
• Keep bath water moderate rather than hot and fill the tub to just under knee level. Be sure your darling dog is calm and comfortable; you may have to ease them before bath time begins.
• During scrub down, remain gentle and understanding. Let your pup know the cleansing procedure is completely harmless by talking in a kind tone and handling them with love. 
• Massage the dog grooming products into your canine's coat with your fingertips and then rinse accordingly.
• Always remember to have a towel around for drying off afterward (we don't want Spot to catch a cold!). If your pal  is brave enough, there are also pet dryers available for a quicker finish time.

 Dog Care At Home (PART-1)

• Every dog deserves to be pampered and while preserving a pristine puppy calls for extra TLC, the results are well worth it. 
• Doggy grooming basics will keep your furry friend feeling invigorated and healthy.
• Just like us, canines call for brushing, bathing, nail clippings, and ear cleanings. 
• Many dogs don't enjoy these grooming processes, so praising your pooch with love and a treat is suggested. 
• If you lovingly work with your dear pal on the grooming process it will become a quick and easy routine that your dog just may grow to enjoy.
• Certain breeds even require some extra care. If you need some assistance on giving your pooch the works, look no further! 
• Brushing your dog will do more than get rid of knots; tending to your pup's fur will assist in removing harmful dirt particles.  
• Grooming with a dog brush will even help increase natural oils throughout your canine's coat for an unbeatable shine.
• While you are tending to your dog's fur, it will be an opportune time to know your buddy's body (new lumps will never go unnoticed).
• There are numerous types of combs and brushes accessible for grooming your deserving dog.  
• Dog bristle brushes are generally used on all dog types; the longer the coat, the more spaced out and lengthy the bristles should be.
• Wire pin brushes work well with medium to long haired pups that sport curlier or woolly coats. 
• No matter what kind of coat your canine has, remember to be gentle and avoid tugging.
• Almost all dogs should be combed against their fur's grain. When you first start grooming keep the brushing time short and sweet, eventually your furry friend will love the attention. 
• A dog shedding blade is used as a regular dog brush for canines with double coats.

Controlling That Pesky Bark

• Dogs view their family as their pack, and they are biologically wired to provide and desire extensive protection for them. There are times when a dog's passion for protecting its 'pack', however, is translated through an excessive amount of barking, which may quickly become a nuisance for its owner.
• It may not be appreciated by those next door either and its owner may be met with a barrage of complaints from sleep-deprived neighbors.

What Is The Solution?

• Fortunately, there are a number of ways to achieve bark control which don't put our enthusiastic, four-legged friends in danger.
• Some of the most common tools for bark control are anti-bark collars. These collars have an assortment of designs, but the two most popular on the market are shock collars and spray collars. 

What Is Shock Collars?

Shock collars work by delivering a small, yet harmless shock to a dog when their barking is detected to be excessive in volume or length. Some models deliver a warning tone first so that they aren't immediately punished for what is, after all, their instinct. The shock collars often come with a number of settings so that the power of the shock or the sensitivity of the collar can be carefully adjusted to meet the owner's preferences, with the maximum settings still being safe for even the tiniest of dogs.

Just the idea of shocking a dog, however safe it may be, may come off inhumane for some owners. For those, there is the popular alternative of spray bark collars

What Is Spray Collars?

The spray bark collar works in a way easily predicted from its name. Just like shock collars, it has the ability to detect nuisance barking and can be adjusted to meet a number of settings. However, instead of delivering a shock, it simply sprays the dog with a bit of liquid which the dog typically finds unpleasant.

• The spray bark collar can be filled with many liquids, but the citronella bark collar is a highly recommended choice for any owner seeking a bark-controlling collar, as it is fully safe while still remaining remarkably effective. 
• The liquid inside it, citronella, is colorless and has a lemony odor, making the citronella bark collar an even friendlier choice for owners who are concerned about ensuring their house looks clean and keeping the aroma of their house pleasant.

Conclusion

• It may be a dog's instinct to bark in order to protect its 'pack', but a dog is also known for its extreme intelligence and ability to adapt.
• Dogs are certainly smart enough to adjust to anti-bark collars quickly, and they can be a perfect aid in the training of dogs at night when their owners are not present to guide them.
• Since dogs function as our best friends, showering us with love, attention and joy, it’s best that we treat them well in return.

If excessive barking is an issue, anti-bark collars are safe, effective, and humane tools we can use to improve our and their environment alike.
