Dog biting and nipping a serious concern when your dog is an adult dog.

The difference between the dog world and the human world.

Dogs can not shake hands to greet you. When your dog wants something, he will communicate with you, touch with his paw, a bark, a nip, or just a simple pulling your hand. 

What is working very well in the Dog world but not in the human world?

To understand your dog, it is essential to know that your dog is very oral. With the mouth, a dog is communicating, tasting and it experiences the world.

It can be sometimes vocalised barking or howling, and other times it is nipping and biting. Understand that your dog might be trying to tell you something.

 

dog nipping and biting a communication problem

It gets down to a couple of messages between you and your dog. 

You guessed it right, your dog can not speak your language, but they can understand your language.

What can a nip in the butt mean?

  • It can be a friendly greeting.
  • Your dog is excited when you come home
  • Your dog might want to play
  • It also might be a way to get attention ( one of my mother dogs a lady dog was nipping her friend’s mainly females in the butt when they came to visit.)
  • Your dog might want to voice his concern at that moment
  • Maybe you are playing with the kids, and the kids scream, and your dog starts to nip. It is just his way of saying your dog does not approve of the screaming.

Dog biting and nipping vary from a simple situation of playful interaction with your dog to a serious situation when your dog becomes overexcited and starts nipping more powerful, and it leaves you with bruises or marks on the skin.

Dogs have a lot of Energy, and somehow they need to get rid of this excess energy. (It all depends on the dog breed. )

High energy level dogs are just to name a few

  • Dalmatians,
  • Jack Russell terriers,
  • Siberian Huskies
  • Afghan Hounds
  • Akita
  • American Bulldog
  • Australian Cattle Dog
  • Appenzeller Sennenhund
  • Australian Kelpie
  • Border Collie
  • Bull Terrier
  • German Sheperd
  • German Shorthair Pointer
  • Here is the full list on high energy level dogs 

Dogs with  low energy levels

  • Basset Hound
  • Chinese Shar-Pei
  • Bull Mastiff
  • Shih Tzu
  • Sussex Spaniel
  • Pekingese
  • Cheeky Terrier
  • Bulldog
  • Borzoi
  • Caucasian Shepherd Dog
  • Chinese Crested
  • Chow Chow

It doesn’t matter what Breed you have, dogs should socialise with other dogs and with people from a young age on.
It depends on  “how severe and nasty is your dog butt nipping. “
You have to figure out is it an attention behaviour or is it more aggressive behaviour.

For the love of dogs

For simple butt nipping the solution is relatively easy.

The simple answer is in your hands. Decide what you prefer that your dog should do and start training him accordingly. Of course on the leash, yes even if it is in the house or apartment. ( it gives you more control in case it gets out of control)

For example Nipping greetings:
Start teaching your dog to “touch your hand” when your dog comes to you. Every time you extend the palm of your hand and your dogs nose touches or butts your hand, praise and treat.

Remember when you anticipate the touch add a cue word like “ Say hi.”
If you have visitors coming to your home, they have to extend their hand with the words “Say hi” for a friendly hand touch greeting.
After that call your dog back to you. Best to practice is with family members or close friends so long until your dog understands it and is following your training. 

IMPORTANT: Everyone in the family has to use the same commands otherwise you confuse your dog. 

It might take time depends again on how intelligent your dog is, remember to stay cool and calm when training a dog. If you lose the patience stop the training immediately.

It is not a good idea and will reverse your training if you lose patience. Dogs sense energy you give off, and that is then how they react.

Obedience Training.

The obedience training has another advantage for your dog’s behaviour, rather than jumping and getting excited when greeting the house guests you have a well-trained dog that welcomes your house guest differently.

Obedience Training is always a great solution to dog behaviour problems, especially for nipping and biting.
Make the obedience training for you and your dog a fun experience.
You will be happy you did it.

I’m really interested in your thoughts and opinion on this. Does your dog follow this and how long did it take you to go through the training? When a  puppy starts nipping and biting  

Attention seeking in dogs

Minimise the dog nipping and biting when your dog is more aggressive.

As we all know our dogs love to play and they do spend a great deal on investigating and chewing other objects. ( yes including your shoes, bags, cloth, toothpaste and toilet paper I can go on ….)

Dogs also love interacting and playing with people.

For you, as a dog owner, it is essential to help your dog to get his nipping or biting problem under control. You have to find the best solution for your dog on how to stop it altogether.

There is no halfway it is a way you have to go. There are DIY Dog  Training for dogs around and you can do it yourself if you are up too. 

If you feel you are not able to do that, and follow it all the way through please look for a Professional Dog Trainer. ( Please do not ignore that nipping or biting problem even it is not as bad in your opinion you need to get it under control to avoid that it goes one day out of control.)

Teach your dog to be gentle…

Your dog’s ability to control the force of biting or nipping is called Bite inhibition.

For the sensitivity of human skin any dog who has not learned bite inhibition will not recognize that human skin is more sensitive than a dog skin so the dog will bite harder during play.

Dog Trainers believe if a dog has learned bite inhibition from an early age on they will use their mouth more gently when interacting with people. Dogs who learned that will be less likely to bite hard and break your skin.

Unless the dog feels threatened, is in pain or it is afraid.

What are the next steps…

Rule No. 1 Dog Teeth do not belong on human skin.. teach your dog this number one rule

You have to train your dog to be gentle with his mouth when your dog has understood that rule you can move on to the next step.

Teaching him to stop nipping people in their butt or anywhere else. Try the following tips:

• Use a toy or chew bone when your dog tries to gnaw on fingers or other parts of your body.

• Most of the time dogs start nipping when they are stroked, patted and scratch from other people or yourself.

• The key is the distraction when your dog gets all riled up when you pet him you can distract him with feeding him small treats from your other hand. One by one, not a handful. Don’t overdo it. In this way, your dog will be getting used to being touched without nipping or mouthing you. ( homemade dog treats) 

dog biting a lesson to be learned

• A great way to start is also to encourage non-contact forms of play. It is better to play fetch and tug of war than wrestling and rough play with your hands. This game( fetch and tug of war) will help your dog dealing with arousal and frustrations. An important thing for you to do is follow strict rules do not bend the rules.

Only then will it be fun for you and your dog. ( you are in training never bend rules not one time or just today never) 

• When your dog understood to play tug safely, (without nipping and biting you ) play it often with your dog and if your dog gets overexcited keep some chewy toys in your pocket or bag so you can redirect him to the tug toy in case he slips. It will become after a while a habit, and your dog will look for a toy if he feels like biting or nipping. Please be consequent in training and follow the practice through.

• You can teach your dog with specific exercises impulse controls such as sit, wait, leave it, roll over, down, lay down 

• Your dog will need plenty of exciting and new toys to chew and play with them instead of gnawing on you or your clothing.

For example A chewy ball with treats where your dog needs to find a way to get out the treats.

• Socialise your dog whenever you can with other dogs. Your dog needs to play with other friendly dogs. Make sure that when you socialise with other dogs that the owners are responsible owners and know that dogs should have the necessary vaccination. With the other dogs, your dog can play and interact and get rid of some of his energy. With them, your dog can play as rough as he wants. If the other dogs feel your dog is out of line your dog will learn a lesson. ( pack behaviour) 

• Keep a leash attached to your dog when you are supervising him. The leash gives you more control, let the leash drag on the floor, and instead of leaving the room and give your dog a time out for nipping and biting you can immediately take the leash and calmly lead him to a quiet area. When your dog gets there confine him behind a baby gate or a big heavy piece of furniture.

• Turn around and give your dog a short timeout. Soon as the timeout is over untie your dog and resume what you were doing.

• I am not a friend of that but if a timeout is not sufficient with your dog then consider using a taste deterrent spray. Spray the deterrent onto your hands, and cloth where your dog likes to nip and bite you. ( you can also make your own homemade all-natural dog deterrent spray) 

Homemade deterrent spray for dogs.

2 Tablespoons of Distilled White Vinegar

1 1/2 Cups of  Water

20 Drops of Orange Essential Oil ( use a good grade orange essential oil like doTERRA )

1 Clean spray bottle ( do not use a spray bottle what had cleaners inside before)

Fill in first the vinegar than the drops of orange oils mixes it than poor in the water.

Shake it, label it and use it.

For the love of dogs

 

Praise your dog often for good behaviour.

If your dog starts nipping than wait until the bad taste sets in. Praise your dog when he lets go of you or your cloth. It will at least take 2 weeks or more until your dog inhibits the bad taste with nipping or biting you. Your dog will stop biting and nipping you if you are consistent.
If nothing helps than seek professional help. Locate a qualified expert near you 

• Nipping and Biting are challenging and depend on the size and breed of the dog you might need professional help. Don’t hesitate to engage a professional certified dog trainer. (CPDT)if you feel DIY training is not working. 

• Most CPDT do offer group or private classes that can help your dog with the assistance you need. Nipping and biting also called mouthing are not take to be taken lightly.

General Guidelines

Do not wave your fingers or toes in your dog’s face, slapping the side of your dog’s faces to entice him to play. This can encourage your dog to bite your hand and feet.

Never discourage your dog from playing with you in general. Playing builds a powerful bond between you and your dog as well. Do teach your dog to be gentle rather than avoiding to play with your dog.

• Jerking your hands or feet away from your dog when your dog is nipping or biting is to avoid in all cases. You have to understand that jerky movement might seem like a game to your dog and will encourage your dog to jump forward and snap at you. Let your hand and feet get limp that is much more effective, why? when your hands and feet are limp they are not much fun to play for your dog.

• Never ever slap or hit your dog in a playful moment when your dog is nipping and biting it causes him to bite harder. The reaction is more aggressive playing.

• Understanding that physical punishment will make your dog afraid of you and will lead to aggression.

• Avoid scruff shaking, sticking your fingers down your dog’s throat, or whacking your dog’s nose ( a dog nose is the most sensitive part of a dog beside his ears), and all other nonsense punishment that hurts your dog or scares him.

I know a few dogs who became a problem after physical punishment. It is never good to physically punish your dog.
You want a trusting and harmonious relationship with your dog, remember your dog is the most loyal companion if treated well. A dog is never born to be a bad dog and a  biting monster, a dog is made bad by us humans when not handled correctly.

Dog nipping and dog biting can be corrected with obedience training. Yes, it takes time and patience, but the reward is so unbelievable that every hour you spent training your dog, is thousandfold rewarded by your loyal companion your dog. 

I hope you liked reading this blog How to stop a dog from biting and nipping other people in the butt. If you can do me a favour and share this blog with friends and family. Do join our Facebook page. 

 

Please do seek professional help if your dog is more aggressive in nipping and biting.

Why more and more of our Pets have cancer. The shocking truth on the cause of cancer in Pets.

A common disease in Pets “Cancer”

Can you relate to this?

Your cat or dog is acting fine, is happy and is jelly jolly as usual. You go for a checkup with the veterinarian as you discovered a lump in your pet’s body.

The truth about cancer in pets

To be on the safe side, you will go to your Veterinarian and let it check out. He will make a test and the result comes back with the shocking news “cancer”. 
You rightly ask yourself why how and there are no signs no warning nothing.

What are the leading causes of Cancer in Pets?

You are not alone in this, each year in America alone 6 Million dogs and 6 million cats are diagnosed with the shocking news Cancer. 

Whether this is a mast cell tumour, osteosarcoma, lymphosarcoma, or breast (mammary gland) cancer, mast cell and bone cancer, there is nothing that you can do to prepare your self for the horrific news.

Your head will spin, and you will have lots of questions. The most crucial question is what to do now?

Questions pop up, and any veterinarian will be able to answer all the questions you have. In your mind cancer patients are sick, and shouldn’t there be some signs …you are going to ask yourself. 

Aren’t cancer patients ill? Shouldn’t there be some other signs if it is so severe as the veterinarian is saying?
Unfortunately, the answer is no. Cancer can have many leading causes in pets. 

Look at the Law of Nature. Pets Cats and Dogs usually live in nature, and in the wild, the rule shows when you are sick you are doomed to die, as the animal will be easy prey for the predators.

Infected animals will attract the Predators and stand out from the pack. Most animals will not act sick for this reason.

Depending on the animal if they act sick, the animal could lose the pack position. It is a kind of protection for those animals to keep the status up.

Even if the pet has a tumour, it might not have spread enough to cause a real significant tissue injury.
Many times we had heard of accounts when a lump been found in an otherwise healthy person, and it only turns out to be malignant. The same goes for animals.

What is Cancer and what is the cause?

Cancer can be a collection of related diseases. Cancer is a name given to different conditions. All types of cancer begin in the cells of the animal body.

Cells start to divide themselves without stopping and begin to spread into the surrounding tissues.
Cancer can start anywhere in the animal body.

The animal body made up of trillions of cells, the cells grow and divide themselves to the need of the animal body.
Cells go through an ageing process, and when those cells become old or damaged they die, and new cells will take up their place.

In case of cancer develops this clean process breaks down. The cells become more and more abnormal, and the old or damaged cells what would die will survive.

New cells are formed even they are not needed. The extra cells somehow continue the process and divide themselves again and create a kind of cluster what causes the growths called tumours.

That will continue to a point where the remaining healthy cells can no longer sustain the health of the animal body.
That will tip the scale, and the animal will show slow signs.

This fundamental Phenomenon is called decompensation, and it is the tipping point in the health and disease of an animal.

Did you know that similar to humans the lifespan of our loved pets has increased and they live longer through the advancement of medicine and on the emphasis on preventive care and nutrition?

We only want the best for our Pets Life

Each year alone an estimated 6 million dogs and nearly 6 million cats will be diagnosed with cancer. It is scary and a large number.  The malignancy looks and behaves much the same as it does in humans, it will also spread to the same organs.

According to the Veterinary Cancer Society, Dogs are affected by more forms of cancer compared to other animals. 47% of dogs, especially over the age of ten years, are likely to be diagnosed with cancer what leads to death.

32 % of cats being diagnosed with cancer but at a smaller rate. It is a fact that humans and dogs get cancer at the same rate whereas cats get fewer cancers.

In some breeds cancer can develop at an early age, but more common are the appearance of the cancer disease in older dogs. With more than 100 types of animal cancer it can be a long way to recovery or to detect cancer.

You can find cancer in animals in different areas like in the skin, bones, breast, head & neck, lymph system, abdomen and testicles. One of the most common types of cancer in cats is Leukaemia and lymphoma. For dogs, the most common type of cancer is mammary gland cancer.

When we lose our pets to illness, we lose a part of our heart and soul. 

We owe it to ourselves and our furry friends to know the TRUTH about how what we do affects their quality of life and longevity.

We only want the best for our pets.

Did you know that a big part of pet health depends on the food and nutrition balance in their daily life?

Read my blog about essential oils for cats and dogs 

To uncover the cancer-causing secret, manufacturers don’t want you to know about the pet food you buy.

You won’t hear about this from your vet. And you sure won’t hear about it from pet food companies.

Do you know that we human say you are what you eat? The same goes for our pets.

Why consider homemade pet food.

It is important what you feed your pet.  Why? Lots of brands have commercially processed food and they use meat by-products. Those are chemicals and preservatives that can be harmful to your pet.

Feeding your pet a balanced diet is important and if you want to keep your pet healthy look at what kind of food you feed your pet. Homemade pet food is also helpful when your pet has allergies or a sensitive stomach.

Cushing’s Disease in Dogs. The silent killer for dogs and how to detect it early to prevent it.

by 13 Comments

What is Cushing disease in Dogs?

When you get told first time by your veterinarian that a dog that is only 5 years old has Cushing’s disease. You go what is that. You think you misunderstood. 

Cushing's Disease in dogs

Learning from experience it is more common than you think. Cushing’s disease in dogs is common but hard to detect and most of the time it goes undetected.
Our dog Charly is five years old and was diagnosed to have Cushing’s Disease after endless expensive tests. 

When our vet explained it to me, it sounded a bit strange, and I could not grasp the meaning of it. I went on to Google to search for it. Surprise it is more common than I thought.

Our dog has all the symptoms. Saying this despite having all the symptoms of Cushing disease it is difficult to detect especially if the dog is older most of the time it is taken back to old age.

Cushing’s disease a disease that is extremely difficult to nail down as the symptoms of Cushing’s syndrome associated with some different ailments.

Vet Bills are expensive, that you still can give the best care for your pet chose a pet insurance. 

What are the specific warning signs for older dogs that they have Cushing’s disease?

The adrenal gland, located in the dog’s belly near the kidneys, produces a hormone called cortisol. This hormone cortisol affects many functions of different organs in the body.

In short, the Cushing’s disease in dogs otherwise knows as hyperadrenocorticism is the overproduction of cortisol, and is a condition that becomes increasingly likely as your dog ages.

If there is too much cortisol in a dogs body, it can cause problems like stress and possibly suppresses the immune system of a dog. When an immune system is weak, it will increase the chance that the dog is prone to get sick easier.
To diagnose the Cushings disease is a bit complicated and it can be a challenge.

How often should I see the veterinarian with my dog? 

Early detection is crucial.

What are the symptoms of the Cushing disease?
@ A Thirsty Dog that drinks more than usual.
@ Urinate more often than usual
@ Lack of energy
@ gains more weight special around the belly
@ The skin becomes thinner and the coat is not shiny anymore. The fur looks patchy
@ Easy bruising on the skin
@Heavy panting
@Black-heads formation
@ Around back end there is a muscle wastage
@Reoccurence of Infections

The problem of the Cushings Disease

One of the most significant issues the Cushings disease brings is that it is difficult to detect. That is why it is also called the pretender. Many times this Cushing disease is misdiagnosed.

To be sure there is some test and those that are not cheap.
This test is expensive, and you are now in the questionable decision-making process to do or not to do the test.
It is not an easy decision.

Pet med the best choice for saving on vet bills

The Cushing disease is a severe condition of the middle-aged to older dogs. Sometimes it is also misleading and over-diagnosed.

A variety of simulation tests are available and can confirm a suspicion of Cushing disease. Depending on the test chosen it may also indicate if the pituitary gland is the cause of the adrenal gland.

What Test is there to find out if your Dog has the Cushing Disease?

Those tests are:

#The ACTH (adrenocorticotrophic hormone) test
#Low dose dexamethasone stimulation test
#High dose dexamethasone stimulation test
#Most clinics start with an ACTH stimulation test to get an answer of yes or no. ( This information comes from our vet after having a thousand question. Thank you, Dr Dreyer, for explaining the basic in a more straightforward language.)
After that, the vet will discuss with you further test or further steps to take.

Treatment For Cushing’s Disease In Dogs

There is readily available Treatment, but it is a question of yes or no, as the treatment is costly in the long run. You have to weigh several factors, and one of the more significant factors is the expense.

With Cushing disease, there is not always a clear way of right or wrong action. It is a hard decision for a dog owner to decide to go with therapy or not to go with treatment.

You have to make a decision based on your circumstances and your wallet. ( I am not joking it is not cheap) unless you have taken pet insurance. 
A veterinarian should thoroughly investigate Cushing Disease.

If that is a visible sign, the vet should also check for Thyroid problems and other skin conditions. Where the symptoms prevail but the diagnosis is negative, “homoeopathic formic acid” has been helpful in restoring a shabby coat to health again.

Thyroid problems are commonly mistaken for Cushing’s disease.

Homoeopathic Thyroid 30c at one drop per day for three weeks can return thyroid levels to normal – recheck levels at this point.

Another factor about the Cushing disease is the cause of the overproduction of the adrenal gland. Not always but most of the times the excess production is caused by a benign tumour located in the pituitary gland. ( pituitary gland is stimulating the adrenals. )

Of the endocrine system, the pituitary gland is the boss. The primary function of the pituitary gland is the production of hormones which control the various endocrine glands in a dogsbody.

A tumour in one of the glands can cause overproduction of the corticosteroid hormones. It can be then the result of hair loss.( it is like overuse of steroid drugs that overuse can have the same reaction)

Sweating and weight loss ( even if your dog has a big appetite) increased intake of water, anaemia and listlessness are also symptoms of the Cushing’s disease.

If Cushing’s disease is diagnosed in the early stages, the homoeopathic remedies are an excellent option to consider. Please ask your Veterinarian about the homoeopathic remedies.

Cushing’s Disease and the confusion with other diseases

Older dogs will have a lot of symptoms like Cushing’s disease. It is difficult to diagnose as a lot of signs are universal to ageing symptoms in dogs.

What are the symptoms that can be mistaken for Cushing’s disease

#Bloated belly is a sign of gastric torsion and gastric dilation; it can be fatal when untreated.
#Urinary incontinence and urinary tract infections are a sign of old age.
#Diabetes shows signs of increased thirst slow-healing wounds and those signs can easy associated with the Cushings disease.
#Hypothyroidism has similar patterns of hair loss can be misdiagnosed as Cushing’s disease.
#Discuss this with your veterinarian as he will understand and will analyse the proper test and treatments.

Homoeopathic Pituitary

It is a historically made Remedy from the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland. It balances the action of the gland.
It is given in low potencies over an extended period. Consult your Veterinarian as he knows best how to tune the homoeopathic treatment.

Natural Herbs for Cushing’s Disease

There are also a lot of herbs available and what are beneficial. I like natural medicine, but I have learned over the years that sometimes we need to combine medication and natural treatment to achieve the best result. Believe it or not, sometimes both can complement each other. To judge this, please ask your veterinarian and follow their instructions.

Natural-remedies-for-Cushing’s-disease

If your animal is suffering from this condition and is on cortisone, and you wish to take it off of this drug and pursue an alternative treatment, you should find a holistic veterinarian that has experience with this condition.

Conclusion

Cushing’s disease is a difficult disease to detect. It will be not easy for your dog and yourself when diagnosed with this Cushing’s disease. 

One thing I have learned is that the Cushings disease can come out of the blue and a lot has to do with what you feed your dog.

I have written a blog on homemade dog food recipes and when I was looking for an alternative for my dogs I came across the “dog food secrets “and I was shocked what is actually in dog food.

Charly is much better now, and I have to say his condition improved a lot and yes I am feeding my dogs now homemade dog food.

 

Thank you for stopping by to read Cushing’s Disease in Dogs. The silent killer for dogs and how to detect it early to prevent it. Please share this blog that people are aware of this disease. Sharing them helps us to understand them better and we are able to soothe their condition.
