#Dog #Grooming #Tips 101 Expressing the Anal Gland Position the dog’s hind end toward you. If you can, have the front end secured by a person or harness. Lift the dog’s tail and locate the glands, which are usually grape-sized and located just below and to the side of the anus. While being as comforting as possible toward the dog, begin to milk the glands with your thumbs in a direction that is up and toward the anus. If you are doing this right, a liquid should begin dripping out, which you can catch with your towels. If the liquid is pussy, cloudy, or very thick, this is a sign they need to see a vet. You will know you are done when no more liquid is expressed.

Dog #Facts #101 The #Newfoundland This dog #breed is a large working dog. They can be either black, brown, or white-and-black (called #Landseer). However, in #Canada, the country of their origin, the only correct colours are either black or Landseer. They were originally bred and used as a working dog for fishermen in the Dominion of Newfoundland. They are known for their giant size, intelligence, tremendous strength, calm dispositions, and loyalty. Newfoundland dogs excel at water rescue/lifesaving because of their muscular build, thick double coat, webbed feet, and innate swimming abilities.

#Dog #Training #Tips #101 #Teach your dog to #Fetch #Simple #beginner #method: While keeping your pet close to you, take out one ball and present it to him. Make sure he’s paying #attention and is very #excited about it. Then, cue your dog to sit – once he does it, make up a signal (i.e. ‘yes’) and toss the ball just a few feet away. Once your pet collects the ball, give him some mild praise while stepping away. When you reach a certain distance, call your dog back to you. When your canine reaches you again, present him with the second ball. As soon as he releases the first ball, give him the signal again and toss the second ball in the same way. Repeat until your dog releases the first ball as soon as he comes back.

#Dog #Grooming #Tips #101 At Home Grooming Regular grooming is an important part of responsible dog care, even if it may seem like your dog is taking care of those needs by himself. If you don’t have a routine set, start small. Attempt one task each time. Brush one day. Then bathe the next. And trim the nails on yet another day. The shorter you can keep each session, the better.

#Dog #Facts #101 The #Pomeranian The #breed has been made popular by a number of #royal owners since the 18th century. Queen Victoria owned a particularly small Pomeranian and consequently the smaller variety became universally popular. During Queen Victoria's lifetime alone, the size of the breed decreased by 50%. Overall, the Pomeranian is a sturdy, healthy dog.

#Brushing #Tip #Checklist: 1) Check for #ticks as you brush You may notice the #bugs themselves or small black flecks. 2) Determine how often you need to brush Most #short #coats require weekly brushing, but longer coats may require daily attention. 3) For smooth, short coats Use a rubber brush, then a bristle brush, and then polish with a chamois cloth. 4) For short, dense coats Use a slicker brush to remove tangles, followed by a bristle brush. 5) For #long coats Use a slicker brush to remove tangles and be very gentle when removing mats. Then follow it with a bristle brush. 6) Don’t forget the #tail and #feet Particularly for #dogs with longer coats.

#Dog #Grooming #Tip 101 #Clipping the #Toenails: Use your fingers to separate the toes for clipping and hold the paw gently. Use a pair of blunt edged children's scissors to remove excess toe hair: nothing dulls clippers quicker than cutting hair! Remember, no dog ever died from a quicked toenail. If you “quick” your dog accidentally, give a yummy treat right away.
