Introducing a new dog to your current one

Introducing a New Dog

When introducing two dogs, it’s best to allow them to establish their own pack order. While the older dog commonly takes the place as the most dominate, this is not always the case and a younger dog may become more dominate. Reinforce the established pack order as much as possible. The dog that is higher in the pack should be fed meals and given treats before the second dog. It’s never a good idea to adopt a sympathetic attitude towards the lower-ranked dog, especially towards the beginning of the relationship, as this can destroy the unity and could lead to a dog fight or aggressive behavior.
Introducing a new dog to a household with a resident dog can cause some initial friction. There will be a period of adjustment for both the animals and their owners, but with patience and a sense of control over both dogs, the introduction could be the start of a wonderful new relationship.

why dogs eat poo

There are several reasons why some dogs like to eat their poop. Some dog owners report that their dogs have a habit of eating feces and they don’t know what to do to stop the habit. Actually, this condition is known as Coprophagia, It is a condition where the dog likes to eat his own feces or the feces of other animals. This can be due to certain medical conditions, or for dietary reasons. Your dog can instinctually develop such habits due to insufficient nutritional intake or when giving your dog food that is not suitable for them especially if they have a medical condition. Other reasons why dogs eat poop can include the onset of stress, in dogs that are often chained and are less interactive with other dogs, in the case when dogs are not walked frequent enough and are not allowed to play with other dogs.

the history of the American Bulldogs

When the word Bulldog is said, usually the vision of a short, stubby, flat faced, snorting dog. That breed was originally termed, English Bulldog, which later was shortened to Bulldog.
