Tobacco Can Be Drug Rabies

As a forerunner of cigarettes, tobacco plants may be said to have killed many people. But recently scientists discovered that when genetically modified plants can be used as pain medication or a rabid dog rabies affordable, especially for patients in developing countries.

The team of researchers from the University of London claims to have successfully developed an antibody that is derived from tobacco that has been genetically modified. These antibodies are made to prevent the rabies virus attached to the nerve endings in around the body part bitten and 'walk' to the brain.

 

"Rabies has killed thousands of people and the number of victims continues to grow each year, especially for rabies infection is not cured because it is almost 100 percent fatal and often lead to death," said one researcher, Leonard Both, Ph.D. of Molecular Immunology Unit Hotung, St. George's, University of London.

"For that produce antibodies from transgenic plants affordable opening the prospect of adequate rabies prevention for families in developing countries, particularly low-income," he added as quoted from Indiavision, Tuesday (05/02/2013).

First, Both and colleagues 'humanise' these antibodies that can be tolerated by humans. Then the antibodies were produced using transgenic tobacco plants as a platform or medium. Afterwards, the antibody can be purified from the leaves of plants and characterized according to the composition of protein and sugar.

Once tested, proved that the antibodies produced from tobacco leaves that can neutralize different types of rabies virus and identified a number of existing antibodies to the viral envelope (the membrane that causes the virus can survive outside the cell) using a particular rabies virus.

In response to this study, the editor of The FASEB Journal where the study was published, revealing Gerald Weissmann, "Although can be cured by using antibodies that work on time but somehow rabies is deadly, especially for patients in developing countries that lack treatment because of the high production costs of drugs .

To that end, producing antibodies that 'humane' and safe in tobacco that have been genetically modified to reduce the cost of accessing the treatment of rabies and save more lives.

Latest Theory: Modern Dog Derived from Wolves in the Age of Ancient Europe

 

Man's best friend may be derived from gray wolves in Europe (gray wolf), according to new research scientists who are opposed to the previous theories about where and why a dog can be a pet / domestic.

This latest discovery, described in detail in the journal Science last week, challenging previous studies that say that the domestic dog originated from East Asia or the Middle East and has nothing to do with the phenomenon of the rise of agriculture.

"Other wild species maintained with regard to the development of agriculture and then needed to be near the man. It would be a difficult position for a large predator aggressive," according to a statement Robert Wayne, an evolutionary biologist at the University of California, Los Angeles.

In a recent study, a team led by Olaf Thalman geneticist from the University of Turku in Finland using DNA analysis techniques to determine the origin of the first wolves were domesticated.

 

The scientists collected DNA from 18 samples, mostly from animal Canidae ancient Europe, eight of which are classified as 'like a dog' and 10 'wolf'. They compared the DNA samples of ancient animals before the samples were collected from 77 dogs of various breeds, 49 modern wolves from Europe, Asia and other countries and 4 coyotes.

From Scavengers to be a Patron

The researchers found that the DNA of the modern dog is best suited to the ancient wolf of Europe, which indicates that the domestication of dogs began from there. They also concluded that dogs are descended from ancient European wolf populations are now extinct.

"We found that compared to modern wolves, jackals ancient Europe has a direct relationship with the domestic dog" said Wayne. "It carries the genetic records have in common with the archaeological record. Europe is a place where the oldest dog was found."

 

Fossil dogs used in the study are thought to originate from the 19,000 or 32,000 years ago, around the time of the hunter (gatherer) live in Europe.

Initially, the wolves can scavenge or eat the carcasses of Mammoth and other large animals were killed by poachers, said Wayne told National Geographic.

 

When they (wolves) have become pets, Wayne said, everything has been tamed by the hunter replied the master help protect against dangerous predators, or by helping hunt.

Brian Hare, director of the Canine Cognition Center at Duke University, said the findings make sense based on what scientists know about early human migration.

It is unclear from this study whether the new dog domestication started from a group of ancient European hunters and then spread or occur in multiple groups simultaneously.

 

 

 

Dog Teeth Cleaning Techniques Correct

Just like us, dogs also must be maintained in order to keep their teeth clean by brushing teeth regularly to keep your dog's dental health is maintained. Canine teeth are not cleaned can lead to bad breath, gum disease, tartar formed and excessive plaque buildup and discoloration and tooth abscess. Many studies have shown that the infectious agents that cause disease of the gums, teeth and mouth can spread to other organs through the bloodstream. A study has found a direct link between a dog's mouth is dirty with heart disease in older dogs. In other words, if you do not clean the dog's teeth on a regular basis then your dog will be at risk of heart disease.

Brushing your dog's teeth should be done every day, but in fact there are some dog owners who have busy so not had time to do it every day. At least you can brush your dog's teeth regularly 1-2 times a week. The dog was introduced to brushed his teeth since he was a child so that the dog will get used to and feel comfortable with this treatment. Dogs who are not accustomed to brushing teeth since a child usually refuses to brush his teeth and this will certainly make it difficult for you. Dogs should be brushed his teeth by the time he was in a state of calm and relaxed. Never force a dog to brush his teeth if he refused. The technique of brushing the dog's teeth right is as follows:

1. Prepare in advance tools and materials that will be used to brush your dog's teeth. Equipment and materials used for brushing dog's teeth is not so complicated, just with a special toothbrush for dogs or can also use a small toothbrush for kids as well as a special toothpaste for dogs. Do not use human toothpaste is used because it is spicy and too strong for the dog and not all of the ingredients in human toothpaste has been secured for the dog.

 

Figure 1 Equipment and materials used for brushing dog's teeth

2. Create a position that makes your dog feel comfortable. You can tell your dog to sit in front of you or put your dog on your lap (specifically for small breed dogs). In addition, you can also kneel / sit in front of your dog or at the side. If your dog feels uncomfortable and angry try to stop and do it again at another time.

 

Figure 2 Position you and your dog while brushing teeth

3. Try it first introduced a toothpaste that will be used to dogs. Put a little toothpaste on your finger tips. Let the dog lick the toothpaste on the tip of your finger so that the dog becomes accustomed to the texture and taste of the toothpaste. If the dogs enjoy dog toothpaste means love and you can use toothpaste when brushing the dog's teeth.

 

Figure 3 Trying to introduce toothpaste on dogs

4. Lift your dog's lips gently and carefully so that the teeth can be seen, then start brushing your dog's teeth by using a special toothbrush that has been smeared with dog toothpaste. When you brush your dog's teeth position angle of the bristles of the toothbrush reaches the gum line, and put the toothbrush at a 45 degree angle to the teeth. This helps so that the bristles can massage the gum line and plaque on the teeth can be cleaned. Brushing your dog's teeth can also be done with a circular motion starting from the top and bottom on each side of the tooth.

5. As long as you brush your dog's teeth, talk with a soft voice at your dog to keep him comfortable. When the dog began to feel uncomfortable and angry then try to stop it and can be resumed at a later time.

6. When finished brushing all the teeth of dogs, give praise to your dog and the treatment that makes it fun like caressing it in the jaw or gently patting the head.

Hair under a layer of hair left when you shave the dog. Outer hair will coat the hair and protect the lower layers. Hair bottom layer serves to keep the dog warm in winter and stay cool in the summer.

Dogs with a double coat of hair types need a lot more care (grooming) and must be regularly to remove dead undercoat hair with little cutting or no cut. This allows the hair look healthy, neat and unwrinkled, and of course make the dog look more attractive. Dog breeds that fall into this hair type is: German Shepherd, Rough Collie, Samoyed, St. Bernard, Tervueren, Golden Retriever, Labrador Retriever, Siberian Husky and Australian Shepherds.

2. The single coat (single coat)

Hair type only has a single outer hair coat (outer coat) and does not have a bottom layer of hair (undercoat). Usually the dog with a single coat of hair types have a uniform type of hair on all parts of her hair. Hair type single coat is generally shed less than the double coat of hair types.

4. Headed rough (wire coat)

Dogs with this type of hair has a wavy or curly hair, and when you hold the hair feels rough. Hair type is usually a double coat, but there are some breeds of dogs in the form of a single coat. Dogs with coarse hair types have outer hair (outer coat) hair rough and the bottom layer (undercoat) softer. This type of dog hair should be treated with a hand-stripped to preserve the texture and color of the original, but many dog owners on dog hair cuts for easy maintenance and minimize maintenance costs dog. The act of cutting the hair on the hair type of dog is not allowed in a dog show. Dog breeds that fall into this hair type is especially groups such as the West Highland Terrier Dog White, Wire Fox, Border and Scottish Terrier and other dog breeds like Miniature Schnauzer, and Wire Haired Dachshund.

5. curly haired (wool coat / curly coat)

Dogs with this type of hair has a curly hair shaped and easier to recognize. Curly-haired dogs need extra care and require special techniques in drying and cutting his hair style. Dogs that have very few types of curly hair. Dog breeds that fall into this hair type are: Poodles, Irish Water Spaniels, Bichon and Portuguese Water Dog.

How to Correct Dog Ear Cleaning

Some dogs will refuse to clean their ears especially if the dog is not accustomed to his ears cleaned since a kid. However, dog ear cleaning is not a difficult job if you know the right way to clean the dog's ears. We recommend routine ear cleaning dog was introduced since the dog was a child, so the dog accustomed to such treatment and will not resist when his ears cleaned and will certainly facilitate your work in cleaning your dog's ears.

Cleaning the dog's ear is very important to do regularly to keep them clean and healthy and protected from infections disease agents. Dog ear infection would be easier if the disease agent is not regularly cleaned. This is because the dog has a ear piece in the shape winding so it is easier for parasites, bacteria and fungi to hide and thrive in it which resulted into a dog's ear infection. Should dogs ears cleaned regularly 1-2 times a week or on the advice of a veterinarian. As for how to clean the dog's ears right is as follows:

1. Prepare in advance the materials and tools used to clean the dog's ears like ear cleaning solution, cotton swabs, cotton balls, tweezers or hemostats.

 

 Figure 1 Materials and equipment needed to clean the dog's ears

2. Put your dog on the table and you are standing on the side of the table opposite the dog's ear. Some dogs also like when you put it on your lap (especially small breed dogs). Make the position that makes the dog feel comfortable.

 

Figure 2 Position the dog on the table when you are cleaning the dogs ears

3. Before cleaning the dog's ears, first open or lift the ears so that the inner ear dog looks. Then do a check on the dog's ear to abnormalities and health problems such as the presence of a foul odor, there are lumps, blood, injury to the ear, redness and pain in the ear if held. If no such abnormalities immediately take your dog to the vet to be examined further and to avoid more serious illness.

 

Figure 3 To examine the dog's ears before cleaning

4. In addition, check the hair around the dog's ear hole. If the hair is found in the dog's ear hole should be repealed because it can reduce the flow of air into the ear canal. Good air flow into the ear is very important to maintain healthy ears. The hair around the ear hole dog can be unplugged by hand or carefully using tweezers or hemostats.

 

Figure 4 Revoke existing hair around the ear hole by hand

 

Figure 5 Repeal existing hair around the ear hole with a hemostat

5. Put your ear cleaning fluid as much as a few drops. The tip of the ear cleaning fluid bottle is inserted a few millimeters into the ear canal so that the cleaning liquid can get into the ear canal. Be careful when when inserting the tip of the bottle into the ear canal. Do not be too deep and too strong to press the tip of the bottle of cleaning fluid into the ear canal as it can break the eardrums. Dogs typically will wiggle or shaking his head so cleaning liquid droplets get into the ear to remove the liquid. You do not need to worry leave it alone and do not need feeding and again because it is included in the cleaning process.

 

Figure 6 Drops ear cleaning fluid

6. Then gently massage the base of the dog's ear by combining cartilage at the base of the ear with the thumb and forefinger to remove dirt in the ear. Do it for about 60 seconds.

 

Figure 7 Massaging the base of the ears of dogs

7. Clean the wax or dirt that is on the dog's ear with a cotton ball with the larger size of the dog's ear hole. Clean all crevices of the ear but do not force the cotton ball into the ear hole and just clean the areas that you can easily reach. Cotton swabs can be used to clean the dirt that is around the outer ear but do not put a cotton bud in the ear hole. Inserting a cotton bud in the ear hole too deep can be risky to damage the eardrum, especially when the dog suddenly moves. In addition, it can also enter the ear wax deeper into the ear canal. Avoid to clean the inside of the dog's ear unless your veterinarian or a professional person to do it.

Pinch Collar / Prong Collar Tortured Dog

 

This tool has caused quite a controversy among dog lovers, because the name and the shape that looks creepy and often regarded form of hurting the dog.
Often when bringing the dog by using a pinch collar, people ask, "What's not sorry for his dog dressed in (pinch collar)?".

Thus the authors try to explain, this tool is made for use with the method of natural / nature where the tool movement in the same neck of the mother dog's mouth movements that give a soft grip of the neck son saying to his son: "Stop it!". And also forms the tooth grip of the neck were given alpha dog to dominate other dogs. Dogs use their teeth to discipline each other and to show his distaste. In the world of training, prong collar is a great tool to provide corrections. If used correctly this tool will not hurt the dog.

This tool does not need to be used for dogs weighing under 15 kg or small dog. In principle, this tool is used for the relationship between humans and dogs, in which to teach the dog to understand where the attitude of the dog what is expected and what is not desired by the owner.

Note: As with any chainsaw in the wrong hands can lead to destruction but the right hands can create a beautiful wooden house, this tool should be used by people who know how to use it, know the limits of the power of pull, etc. For starters, if you want to use it, learn it first from professional dog trainers how to use them.

Use Choke Chain Or Harness ??

 

First keep in mind is created for the purpose of tracking harness (harness will allow the dog's nose in contact with the ground) or to draw something (Pit Bull wearing a harness to pull the load / weight pulling, Siberian Husky wearing a harness to pull a sleigh, etc.), not created to harness control dogs.

Often, the authors see people walking around with a dog dressed in a harness, was predictable that people will definitely pulled by dogs wherever they go, and it certainly is very tiring for the owner, they admit it, but once proffered a choke chain to replacement harness, they refused for fear of choking dog (based on the author's experience in the training of the dog owner to train the dog).

It should be clarified that the dog will not be as easy as it would choke choke chain, so they are interesting and feel sick / choke, then they will not pull it in as tight as they pull when using the harness, the dog can learn from causal, when doing something fun she will want repeat it again, but when you get something that is not fun of course he will not do it again.

With a choke chain dog will learn your wishes tugging during walking is not allowed, right now there are many options on the market choke chain, choke chain choose a little large in the size of your dog's body, and if you still feel the choke chain of metal is too cruel , you can choose a choke chain made ​​of nylon or cotton-pet store pet store. Use the tool according to its function.

The Difference Between Dogs Dog Show With Workers

Someone told me that all the same guard dog, but my family has ever had a Doberman and Doberman workers descendant of descent show. They differ in anatomical structure and function. For example, Jean Muller (2001) when describing the difference between a German Shepherd and a descendant of the German Shepherd Dog show descent worker explained that "... the movement of a pure breed German Shepherd when performing certain tasks such as herding, jumping, changing direction: all require balance only there is the dog leg close to the body to maintain balance ..... just compare A and B diagrams ... in diagram A, the hind legs are visible only when the body supporting the little feet on the ground .... turned direction or turn will makes it easy to lose balance dog. "

 

Why chow dogs and working dogs are structurally different? For some years, the structure of the German Shepherd Dog breed evolved due to the anatomy of a dog show is more beautiful, better pigmentation and more elegant movement. See the comparison below (local show dogs and working dogs of German descent descent imported Czechoslovakia).

 

Calm temperament is important for a dog show in order to win the game. On the other hand, working dogs bred for three different purposes:

1. to graze sheep on the farm (required obedience, loyalty and high stamina),

2. to compete in dog sports competition (necessary compliance, drive and high speed) or
 

3. to protect the police (requires courage and stamina). Furthermore, Linda Shaw (2003) emphasizes that: "The wolf and the wild dog has the shape of an almost square (box) to the little rectangle. Dogs that have a box shape (square) is very effective in jumping and running because his legs are relatively long, but to run efficiently, rectangular shape slightly preferred. "

Therefore, the German Shepherd Dog of offspring workers tend to be more agile and have more ability to jump over a window or car to chase criminals. See the photo below.

 

In addition, experiments in Bundessieger protection (Germany) showed that more than 95% of dog bite that can fully and more powerful are the descendants of workers. So, do not just show dogs and working dogs have anatomical structures are different, but they also have the temperament, skills and ability to bite different.

How to Calm Hyperactive Dog

Having a hyperactive dog is a problem with many possible causes and solutions. Many problems of hyperactive dogs come from boredom and lack of stimulation. So to solve this problem, you should evaluate how you interact with your dog and the type of activities you do every day dog.

Here are some simple techniques that you can try at home to soothe your hyperactive dog.

Ignore the behavior of hyperactive dog.
Dogs seek attention from you. By paying attention to and responding to the behavior of hyperactive dog, you actually strengthen the dog's behavior problem to be eliminated. As soon as your dog jumps or small bite you because too excited, try this, do not touch, do not talk, do not make eye contact and see the results. You may be surprised how quickly your dog will be calm.

Give your dog a job.
Giving the dog a task so that the focus can be very helpful to calm her down. Hyperactivity in dogs can come from psychological needs as well as physical needs. By giving your dog a job to do, you remove the dog hyperactive behavior and redirect energy elsewhere. For example, by putting a backpack containing a load on your dog so he took her stay focused and uninterrupted concentration by other things.

Take the dog for a walk to spend great energy.
If your dog has a lot of energy, a stroll away is another excellent way to spend energy. Once you burn the extra energy, your dog will feel tired and thrilled and too tired to jump and bite. Without that desire, your dog will find it much easier to relax.

Check your own energy.
Your dog is a reflection of yourself. Any energy you project, it will absorb the energy and reflect back. Are you in a state of calm and assertive at the same time? Do you have the energy as a leader full of confidence? Are you stressed because of being in trouble, or weighed down by worries at the office? Your mood can affect the nervous or anxious body language or tone of voice, and can also affect the energy of your dog. Therefore, be a leader in the group and keep the alignment of your energy.

Try aromatherapy.
Do not forget that dogs know the world through the sense of smell! Just like the scent of lavender is touted to calm the man, calming scent can also provide the same effects on your pet. Discuss with your vet or consult a holistic professionals to find out what fragrance suitable for your dog and what deployment method safest for him.

Bart Bellon, World Top Dog Trainer

"Bart is a modern dog trainer, dog training system that is NePOPO inspired by nearly 40 years of experience covering history, education, life experiences, political, and practicality. Bart grew up in Central Burundi, East Africa between 1960 and 1974. It was a beautiful childhood, on the one hand, with parents & siblings loving nan intelligent. On the other hand, it is a childhood in an area famous for its war with genocide and leadership prerogatives of predators where individuals and groups are replaced national interests. Her interest in dogs began in Burundi, where the dogs are used to protect the soil. Thieves and bandits using poisoned meat to kill the dog to gain access to the property. The dog was the only survivor is a dog is taught to eat only certain types of food, from a certain bowl, of a particular person, designated by the hand, and with a special command. (This strategy has a series of backup plans in dog training is maintained and never forgotten) They teach the dog to do what they want, they can pay (with the type of food, from a certain bowl) when the dogs follow their will. But even so, they know exactly that when the opportunity to cheat (conflict) arises where the dogs will jump on mine (go for the meat ban) and when that happens, we use the ancient technique of pressing: they would shoot the dog with a gun specific (such as rubber bullets) to tell the dogs to not approach the meat of the ban, the shooter is invisible to the dog. This was my first experience with dog training.

After the genocide and massacres of Hutu and Tutsi in the early 1970s, the region is becoming increasingly unstable. Bart family returned to Belgium in 1974. He lived in Sit-Katelijne-waver, a small town near the city of Mechelen. As a child of Africa, he is always researching because Mechelen Mechelen town is the home town of Malinois sheepdog called. Once in Belgium, Bart immediately bought Malinois. It is the result of breeding neighbor who is a coach Ringsports. He was an important man Ringsports club near his home and the club is one of the most successful clubs in Belgium. After going to the club Ringsports Bart, Bart dogsport addiction. At that time, however, a child is 14 (even with the body of an adult) should be more silent among those who are older, because it is the lowest in the rankings. The club members do not talk to Bart. They ignore it. Bart went every day and watched. After six months of observing quietly, the opportunity came. One day the pain Helper, and Bart was asked to be a temporary helper. After the incident, Bart has always been a helper for the club!

Members do not see capacity as a dog trainer Bart training seriously, and no one helped him with his dog. Bart started to train and play with his dog: tying burlap bag of potatoes around the tree and make a dog bite on the "dead rabbits". He learned the value of training itself (This is another aspect of her training never forget). Bart always has new ideas of his own which often ideas. It is the spontaneity that is not meant to be a system but when Bart was smart enough to analyze what he does on instinct (which after her college), she realizes that she has inadvertently discovered a system that makes the dog an accurate, fast, tough and striking. NePoPo does not have a name at the time but has become a spontaneous system utilized. Members of other clubs and coaches mock how he trains because they do not understand. During the four years at the club with a Bart train of ancient methods and will be finished in time.

During high school, Bart is a soccer player and once he had a career in football if he did not have a knee injury. Bart pleased with the athletic world and has a social nature wise and so when he went to the University, he learned to be a gym teacher. Bart learn about how the process of learning itself. Bart learn about psychology. He studied Skinner, Pavlov and Maslow. Bart fascinated with Maslow Pyramid depicting the hierarchy of needs. Base of the pyramid is the most primitive physical needs (food, shelter, sex reproduction) and the top of the pyramid of higher levels of intellectual and emotional needs. When he considers relates to the dog, he realized that this pyramid can explain what it's called and how long prize gift is a gift, and what is the penalty and how much penalty is a punishment. According to Maslow's theory, if we are really hungry we will eat what is offered. When we are cold, we will accept any jacket regardless of color or style. On the other hand, if we are full, we will only accept favorite desserts we may with some old cognac. Maslow's theory when applied to dog training can be understood if you consider the mental attitude of a trained dog in a way that is existential: working for a living. This is the way that wild animals survive. For example, when a hungry hawk, he was motivated to search for food and he concentrated because the pay is costly mistakes and affairs of life and death. Therein lies the ideal balance between motivation and concentration. When Maslow's theory is used in the training, dog trainer can prepare dogs to be more motivated and more concentrated. The dog showed high drive and precision.

Just graduated from college in 1982 and immediately served two years as an officer in the Paratroopers. There Bart learn military training techniques: hierarchy, how to lead, and how to motivate. He learned to prize the military world is no penalty. What he learned was that he was a spoiled young guy Maslow V and the military took him to a more basic level. What he learned at the University, along with the skills and knowledge he learned as Paratroopers, showed that ancient training techniques at the club was not good. ancient techniques with teachings contrary to good scientific learning theory and the Animal Welfare law which states that it is prohibited to provide the pain and suffering of animals without a valid reason. Bart understands that he's not been on the wrong track so far though dog training method is certainly extraordinarily unique and universally ignored. Bart felt like Copernicus. He began thinking about how he can combine all this knowledge in training dogs to formulate a total system for training dogs that will apply to all disciplines.

Starting in 1986, the world began Bart ringsports. He developed a passion and follow all ringsports like Frenchring, Mondio Ring, KNPV and IPO. If you are on the road telling people how to train a dog with positive and negative reinforcement and stimulation of repair, with chokechain, prong collars, whips, ecollar, ball, clicker, food, etc: all have aspects to be included in the system that can be accepted politically. In most countries in Europe, prong collars and e-collars are used even though officially banned by stealth. Helmut Raiser is one of the first people in the world who are able to tell people what he did in training; received his honesty about his training methods. He can explain things to make them politically acceptable. However, in the midst of a revolution training in Europe in the mid-1990s, we were confronted with a book Karen Pryor, "do not shoot the dogs". Animal protection groups are politically active to use this book as evidence that only positive training necessary to become an effective and humane. Bart and many other coaches must re-evaluate their training towards it.

At the training NePoPo got its name. This is a positive negative positive. The system is a system where a correction NePoPo dogs do not cause fear. This negative followed by positive reinforcement creates behavior. Therefore, the unpleasant feelings causes a behavior appears (Pavlov). Then you can use the same negative stimulation in correction mode that will soon bring a dog from unwanted behavior into desired behavior. Using NePoPo system, the dog is prepared for when he will receive the conflict, he would do the wrong thing, he will receive a correction, but the correction would soon propel him from the unwanted behavior into desired behavior with understanding and confidence and speed. Coaches can not deny that the training should come with consequences. There should be consequences for both the do and do not do the exercises. That is why training is positive does not work when there is a disturbance or conflict that is stronger than the reward. For all the training, we must ask the following questions: What do I do when the dog does not? What do I do when the dog does not, but he can not? What should I do when the dog does not do despite the fact that he knows exactly what to do? This applies to every aspect of training a dog, because dogs, police dogs, military dogs, and sporting dogs.

Bart NVBK won his first championship in 1992 with a talented dog but outside the control of which he bought in 1986 when he was three years old. It was ugly, but he wins. Bart was not entirely pleased with his performance. IPO has a beautiful style; Ringsports, however, is not required to be gorgeous. In Ringsports, the dog should do, there are no extra points for beauty. After the 1992 victory, he began to use a system that will provide a striking picture of the dog while keeping strong and tough and very obedient. In NePoPo dogs do not fight the system because he found his advantage in the system. From 1992 to 2002, when Bart is the Director of Training at the club, Bart makes seven Belgian champion Ringsports (Bart with two different dogs and five members of his club with five different dogs.) In 2002, Bart has perfected his technique with his dog Zodt. Bart scored the highest score ever achieved (before or after) in Belgium Ringsports championship. Now people want to know: how Bart do this? After that, it makes Bart NePoPo systems became popular in the IPO. NePoPo system is humane and effective, and there is no sacrifice of control and encouragement.

A farmer tells Bart his future a few words of wisdom about dog training. He said the coach can use sticks to direct the dog. He can use the same stick to stroke the dog affection. He can use the same stick to turn the dog (eg, "go!"). He can use the stick to punish the dog. When the training is clear and understandable, that the same stick with a dog that had just convicted can be used as a stick to play "fetch and play".

5 Mistakes In Choosing Family Protection Dogs

 

Mistake 1: Not Seeing Dogs Males & Females

FACT
The results of behavioral studies GSD 3497 adult dogs (German Shepherd Dog - German Shepherd) from the year 1978 to 2000 in Switzerland drew the conclusion that up to 94% guts up to 81% of dogs and dog's temperament is inherited from the parent to the stud dog and puppy. More recently, encode, scientists from 50 institutions in the world to examine human DNA, concluded that physical health, structural strength, as well as the party of personality inherited from parents.

OBSERVATION / CONCLUSION
Dog enthusiasts often buy puppies WITHOUT seeing male and female dogs or just look at the photos or genealogy. It is not enough. Why? Unless very experienced with puppy buyer protection dog, is almost impossible to judge / pick puppy (who all look cute) as well as the family dog can protect your home / family. But if we look at male and female dog / master, can we have a picture of health, quality, and temperament of a puppy as an adult. Anyway, many dog owners do not realize that the power down every dog is different. For example, we've seen a stud dog GSD working great (no.3 Champion WUSV world championship) mated with a normal female dogs working, but because of the power down stud lost in females, the quality of all the puppies (the time is the age of 2 years) is similar with the usual female dog and not a handsome stud dog. Family protection dog enthusiasts should see a stud dog and puppy parent to be able to guess the future in terms of quality puppy protection (guts, etc), dog health (free from skin diseases, organ disease, and with a strong structure) and a good temperament (safe and can governed by the whole family).

Mistake 2: Choosing the Dog That's too fierce / Hard Handled Family

FACT
In between the years 2008-2010, K9 police dog bites in the UK has 196 police officers and 155 lay people who are not guilty.

OBSERVATION / CONCLUSION
In general, most cases of dog bites occur not because of bad but because the dog handler's lack of experience or less suited to handle security dog. The same problem arises among dog owners often seek protection for the most vicious dog, or temperament is unclear, or overly dominant, or choose a drive that is too high. Especially for families, we suggest buying a puppy with a choice of clear quality and in accordance with the level of experience / our own personality. For example, let us make a comparison with the World boxers. Some boxers have strong confidence, great guts and good attacking instincts but still easy to be trained, disciplined, and they love to hang out with friends. A dog that has the character, temperament, and quality is similar to a boxer like this is very suitable to serve as safe to raise a family friend, loyal, can be very spoiled if often loved, but still can protect the family. However, there is also a dog that looks more like a boxer-boxer like Mike Tyson's perky but unruly, overly aggressive, less calm, etc. Often, dogs with temperament and character types like this creates problems at home. Dogs like this can dominate the family and cause danger to the family and friends of the family. However, family protection dog with a good temperament and is suitable for families not only can keep the house but a social, safe to play with the family (including children), can sleep in the house, happy to be loved and will be a good companion for the whole family.

Mistake 3: Choosing a Puppy Only By Color And Anatomy
FACT
Tests on 206 tail puppy of 7 weeks of age to adulthood (in the breeding facility Republic Police K9) proves that the quality of the dog to work as a police dog does not depend on the color or the anatomy of a dog, but on the behavior, movements, and responses to the environment puppy.

OBSERVATION / CONCLUSION
"Sir, have a black and a male dog is big or not?" This question is often heard a dog enthusiasts looking for family protection dog. If we look at the total cost for a dog protection between 25-50kg (weight several types of guard dogs), it makes more sense if we choose a dog suitable for maintaining the quality of the home and the family of our dear puppy. Apart from that, it should be explained that the anatomy / structure protection dog cultured for bone strength and agile movement, so in fact, anatomical protection dog is not one, although different than the champion show dog.

Mistake 4: Fear of Buying Puppy Protection Dog Family!

FACT
Biological anthropologist Helen Fisher explains that the character gained from life experiences but the biological basis of temperament is something animals (born that way).

OBSERVATION / CONCLUSION
Most enthusiasts want to keep the dog protection dog but are afraid because they believe that the protection dog aggressive and will bite the family. Our experience shows that the "toy dog" too small to bite its owner! The main problem is a misunderstanding about the temperament of a dog. Dog with a good temperament (they were born that way), it will not bite the owner. In fact, when we enter into the hands of the dog's mouth, they will avoid our hands. Family protection dogs may be aggressive, but only against burglar / intruder. Dog owners should not be afraid puppies are born with a good temperament. In fact, a guard dog with a good temperament can live in the home as a sweet family dog​​.

Mistake 5: Conditions When Purchased Puppy

FACT
Research dog behavior specialist (expert dog behavior) Dr. Serguson prove that the dog has increased hormones (stress) time in the kennel than the home environment, and he noticed that it changed the behavior of the dog. In addition, genetic and psychological expert Dr. Scott and Dr. Fuller, explaining that the dog socialization with humans can be started from the age of 3 weeks.

OBSERVATION / CONCLUSION
Quality puppy does not depend entirely on descent. Other factors include: the conditions breeding females during pregnancy, the maturity of the parent to teach the puppy, puppy nutrition, the environment in which the puppy was raised, the example of the kennel boy, and the interaction between the parent and a human puppy. For example, the dogs were trained adult family protection and well-known in the West, in the family entrusted to experienced with dogs protection. The dogs were then raised in a family environment lay until the age of 7 months (some time until the age of 18 months) before it is returned or purchased by the Kennel / k9 trainers to be trained as a family protection dog. In Asia, inexperienced breeders often clicking marries female dog before it is mature enough (not ready to teach puppy-puppy) and bred by kennel boy with no affection behavior and rude behavior (puppy housed in a small, less clean, and disturbed / angry / o'clock). Puppy-puppy raising in such an environment conditioned automatic with more fierce instinct, not to believe in human beings, do not know how to behave with a small child in the family, and there is no confidence when facing the thief. Instead, choose a puppy who was raised from birth in a clean environment (not left wild), given a good example (kennel boy does not play rough or bully puppy), and the irregular relationship between the breeders and the puppy man (boy, girl, and the child ren puppy so familiarized with the "pack" of man).

FINAL WORD
The ability of each dog is different. Broadly speaking, a guard dog is divided as follows: a dog that can be scary thief (alarm / watch dog-alert and will bark aggressively), keeping the home page (perimeter guard dogs, attack a burglar who entered without a command), and protection of the family (family protection dog / personal bodyguards, fight / attack the command and do not run away). Choose a puppy that will grow according to the needs of your family for the next 10 years.

15 Major Mistakes Dog Owners

 

If you are impatient with your dog, or maybe just want to read how you can be a good dog owner, then this is right for you, read the 15 major mistakes dog owners. Sometimes you just need a change of attitude to transform your dog into a little angel.

1. Recognizing Obesity
Many dog ​​owners do not realize that dog obesity. Most dog owners want a big fast dog that is fed by an amount exceeding portion and this causes the dog becoming overweight is NOT fast growing. There are also dog owners who do not understand the standardization dog properly. For example having Hound breed is supposed to have a slim waist but want his Hound dog has a body like a Labrador Retriever who is supposed to have a thicker body than the type Hound dog. Talk to your vet about a balanced weight for your dog. Regulations are good for most types of dogs are they should be enough to have a slim waist that can be seen from the above, but not thin until their ribs visible.

2. Support for Bad Behavior
You have to specify your expectations on the first day you meet with your new dog. Chasing and biting are funny things when they are still a puppy, but not at all funny when they grow up. Not fair if you change the rules in the end. Do not let any bad behavior from your puppy that you are not going to want from a dog weighing 40 kg.

3. Clean with Good
When your dog accidentally throw dirt in the house, it is vital to immediately clean it up. Even if you've picked up or clean up, usually still leave traces that are not visible to the eye. The problem is, even though you can not see with the naked eye, your dog can smell it, and the smell is teach your dog to throw water on the back. Use an enzyme cleaner (or a mixture of half vinegar and half-water if you do not mind the smell) to get rid of the odor.

4. Inconsistency
Dogs understand "always" and "never". "Sometimes" is a foreign concept to them. If you do not want your dog to sit on a chair when you are not with her, do not let it sit on a chair when you are alone with her. If you do not want your dog running around in the garden after a long day of taking care of you, do not let it run in the park even when you abandon the park for a week or two weeks or more. Always and never, not sometimes may and sometimes may not.

5. Too Many Snacks
Remember that any kind of snacks do you give your dog a part of their daily calorie intake. If you feed your dog with food and weight managers give exercise every day, but you and your family continually provide high-carbohydrate snacks, then the weight will continue to grow. Bring a snack to a minimum, and try healthy snacks like apple slices or baby carrots.

6. Do not Socialize
Once your dog is fully vaccinated, he should have the opportunity to meet as many people and as many dogs as possible. The more you socialize your dog, the more he feels comfortable in a variety of situations. Good socialization will teach your dog that there is no reason to be embarrassed, afraid or aggressive. Bring it to the vet to get to know the place where he will not get injections or insistence. Bring it to the dog park. Bring it to a restaurant that allows the existence of dog. All this experience and expand their knowledge maturing dogs.

7. Not Enough Mental Stimulation
Dogs who get tired of the problem and it was not their fault. Give your dog time to occupy itself and you will be surprised how well they behave. Interactive Toy is a fantastic toy because they support your dog to play alone. Try toys like the Buster Cube issuing dog snacks as you play, encourage your dog to use the expertise solve their problems. Toys that can be erratic bounce like a rubber ball is very good, because they attract the attention of your dog. I have also never met a dog who likes to play with an empty water bottle (make sure the lid is discarded), they make a noisy sound.

8. Expectations are Unrealistic
Some dogs are very easy to train. I know that learning Labrador dog shake within 10 minutes and never forget it. However, each dog has a unique personality. You can not expect your dog to learn how to be a gentleman in a single night, and angry when he was not angry. Ah Put your dog in a cage when you are not home at least a year, until he can learn the rules in the house. Bring it out every time until you are sure that he understands the rules of your house. Do not get frustrated when he does not understand every trick in the book written when he was two years old. Some dogs have a characteristic "puppy" in them until the third year even their fourth year. Remember, he is just a dog, he does not understand everything, before you teach it constantly.

9. Not Enough Exercise
If you feel your dog has "behavioral problems" or "can not be trained" try to make fatigue. He may have excess energy that is not burned out. Bring him to walk long distances every day, bring him to the dog park, or let it pull you when you play skateboard. Play with her every day and you will be surprised at the difference.

10. Too Much Time Alone
This is in line with the "not enough exercise" and "not enough mental stimulation". If your dog really needs to be, maybe he spent too much time alone. Whether he was in a cage for 8 hours on a weekday you? Try to go home when the lunch hour, ask your friends to keep, or use the services of a dog walker. Dogs should not be locked up for more than 6 hours.

11. Discipline is Not True
Find a puddle on the floor and look for your dog and then discipline him is totally ineffective and unproductive. If you do not catch your dog, then forget to discipline him, because he did not understand what he had done so he deserved discipline. Also, do not ever hit your dog when you are angry. Vets and professional trainers will give different answers depending calm what is effective or even not a problem for your dog on a canine poked with a newspaper or give a light blow on the nose, it depends on your decisions and the training philosophy you choose to you trust. However, all responsible animal lovers would agree that hitting your dog when you are angry at all ok. Unless you want to raise a dog that is afraid of you, do not hit, slap, or kick your dog, even when he dropped the garbage and pull the meat from the soup to a clean blanket your meatballs. Do not do it.

12. anthropomorphizing
Most dog owners love to treat a dog like a baby (and the dogs love it), a dog is not a human, a dog is a dog. Anthropomorphizing is an act of man to assume the character of an animal. Some examples include "I can not sterilize my dog​​, he would hate me for taking her to the male," "I need to breed my female dog, she was sad because she wanted to be a mother," "I can discipline him for the mistakes he did three an hour ago, he knew what he was doing, look at it! "Well, like the first example, the dog has no idea the concept of sexual identity, so the opinion is no longer valid. The second example female dog does not know what they missed when they are not bred. Thought the dog is not as complicated as that. And the third example-when you think "look at it, he knew what he was doing" your dog react to your anger, not knowing what he was doing was wrong, your dog looks sad not because he realizes his mistake but sad because you are being rude to him .

13. chaining dogs
Is not a problem to put your dog outside for a run or to pee and play outside, but there should not be a dog tied to a tree in an area five feet wide throughout his life. Dogs that are in the chain in general will become more aggressive and fear. In some countries even have laws against dog bonding. If you do not have time to give to your dog's exercise and attention, it's time to find a new home for him with someone who can give it the attention.

14. Provide Human Food When You Eat
This causes the dog ask! If you give your dog food from your plate, do not be surprised or upset when he would not let you eat alone. It might look funny when you throw popcorn at him when you are chewing on the couch, but unless you want to accompany you, at the dinner table, leaving human food that you want to give to your dog, and give it to your dog after you finished chewing.

15. Give up!
Lots of people think "I can not train this dog, he may not be trained, I give up" even before the dog is a year old! You know know when they say "kids will always be kids?" Yes, the puppy will still be a puppy. Give them the opportunity to grow, make sure you do not make mistakes on, and if that fails, follow your dog in behavioral training. There is a very small number of dogs that can not be trained out there, and most of them are in that position because of the result of persecution for many years, not stubbornness.

Identifying fungal disease in dogs

Fungi are everywhere they are always in the dog's skin, if the condition is good with dogs imune fine day, the fungus will not infect the dog's skin. Infected dogs skin when the skin condition worse, imune not yet mature (the puppy) and the number of fungi which there are very many.

The skin condition is bad.

The skin is too oily or too dry, or the PH balance is not that bad skin condition, which causes a lot of dead skin cells. The loss of a lot of dead skin cells dr dog's body is seen in the form of dander (dandruff). So Dandruff is NOT MUSHROOM. Dandruff Shampoo (Dandruff) is a precursory sel2 dead skin of your dog's skin condition worse, so easily infected with fungi, bacteria, or mites.

Imune who have not matured

In the puppy because imune not yet mature as adult dogs, when exposed to fungal populations that many, perhaps of a comb or a rag or towel that was previously used for dog moldy, then used for your puppy. Puppy you will be attacked by fungus. Always use tools grooming yourself if you bring your puppy to the groomer. I was careless, allowing the groomer put their instruments like combs lap etc on my puppy, and they were both exposed to ringworm.

Dog fungal skin infections in general there are only 2 kinds of Malassezia and Tinea.

Malassezia

Which is a skin infection caused by a yeast fungus genus, called Malassezia Pachydermatis or Pytirosporum Canis, signs are crusty skin, then change color to black.

 

Tinea (Ringworm)

Ringworm has nothing to do with worms. So called because of circular tracks like worms. Is a skin infection that is caused by the fungus genus or genus Microsporum Thrycophyton. There are 3 kinds and 6 kinds of Microsporum Thrycophyton that cause ringworm, 3 of them attacked a dog and a cat. Most dogs who attack are Microsporum Canis. The signs, ruffled feathers round, more and more large, and the number of the spot more.

 

 Ringworm is transmitted to humans, especially young children and infants

 

Ringworm diagnosis

The signs, ruffled feathers round, if not handled correctly increasingly large, and the number of the spot more, inflammation, itching, scratched or licked, abrasions, bacterial infection, purulent.

Fungus Microsporum Canis apple green will glow when exposed to ultraviolet light. If the cause is Thrycophyton or Microsporum the others, does not fluoresce. But in dogs Microsporum Canis that most often there. Take the dog to the place is dark, illuminated with ultraviolet light (commonly used to detect counterfeit money). If there is a scatter of green apple, it is ringworm. This fungus food is contained in the feathers, skin and nails.

Ringworm Treatment

If the dog is definitely detected ringworm, ringworm contagious given to dogs and to humans and breed very quickly, quarantine your dog. Wash all equipment groomer with bleach (like bayclin), let sit, rinse and drying, vacuum all the usual places that you visit the dog, wash with bayclin. if often sleeping in bed, instead of all the sheets and pillowcases, wash with hot water.

Shave the affected part of the ringworm.
Bathe your dog with anti-fungal shampoo (Ketaconazole or Miconazole) twice a week or once a week.
Every morning apply anti-fungal ointment (Ketaconazole or Miconazole).
Every evening apply antiseptic ointment (Povidone Iodine / Betadine).
3 days conditions will improve, continue up to 2 weeks.

In four dogs infected with ringworm picture above, the first three do not happen inflammation / inflammation and bacterial infection. 3rd inflammation has occurred, that the 4th has an infection.
 

DO NOT furnish antibiotics (such as Oxytetracycline, Bacitracin, Neomycin, Polymyxin, etc.) or antihistamines (Hydrocortizone, Prednisone, etc.) on the ringworm, it will not help to eliminate ringworm. Antibiotics are not anti-fungal anti-bacterial, killing almost all the flora place he applied, it will disturb the balance of skin flora and disturb the body imune against ringworm. Antihistamines are anti-inflammatory by lowering the body imune, and disturbing imune against ringworm. The use of antibiotics and antihistamines that prolong this recovery is ringworm. Here, the role Betadine to help relieve inflammation and mild infection.

But when the inflammation is too severe, had to be appeased before the antihistamine. When you have a severe bacterial infection that had to be appeased first with antibiotics. Stop when inflammation or infection is good.

Usually that exposed skin will ringworm bald, long enough hair will grow back, even if there is permanent inflammation and infection that severe.

Another great way to fight ringworm, but Ketoconazole / Miconazole and Betadine is a safe and good and fast.

Note: If forced to give a good anti-fungal drugs, antihistamines, antibiotics. Enlist the help of a vet. Side effects of the three drugs are very disturbing if not dosed and applied correctly.
