Selon les recherches scientifiques et les statistiques, plusieurs problèmes de santé sont reliés à la gonadectomie, et plusieurs avantages pour la santé y sont reliés aussi. Nous insistons sur le fait que toute décision d'ordre médical devrait impérativement être prise avec son vétérinaire.

Dogs and porcupines. How to Teach Loose Leash Walking to Your Dog. How to get your dog to walk politely on leash – and have fun doing it. By Pat Miller, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA, CDBC I’m sure I’m not the only dog trainer who sometimes shakes her head in frustration and dismay at her students’ apparent lack of success with teaching their dogs to walk politely on leash. Oh, they can do it just perfectly in the training center as I coach them to click and treat at random intervals. But when I stand at the window and watch them walk to their cars after class, the majority of dogs are leaning on the ends of their leashes as they strain to sniff enticing odors on their way back to their cars.
“Where have we failed?” I’m reminded of a cartoon I saw a while ago, of a dog marching by his owner’s side in perfect heel position, looking perfectly miserable while a stream of fascinating stimuli pass by that the dog would obviously love to investigate and can’t. Whose Walk Is This? In addition to the “Heel!” “The Box Step involves taking a tiny step to the right. Understanding dog behavior and an experiment to try with your own dog | No Dog About It Blog.

What was his body posture? Was he on his toes showing some confidence and eagerness? Or was his body compressed, tightly pulled inward or leaning back? This is just an example of one of the dog-human interactions I had the chance to observe at one of the Suzanne Clothier sessions I attended in November of last year. Suzanne Clothier is one of the premier experts on understanding dogs and dog behavior. So many of us misjudge our dog’s behavior (myself included) or fail to see what they are telling us because we either lack the knowledge to recognize what they are communicating or we are too busy to pay close attention to the slightest changes in behavior.
That’s why I thought I would share this interesting video with you today. Like this: Like Loading... Mule's foal fools genetics with "impossible" birth. It's an event so rare that the Romans had a saying, "when a mule foals" — the equivalent of "when hell freezes over. " Collbran rancher Larry Amos watches as the mule foal nuzzles its mother, Kate, a 7-year-old "molly" that gave birth three months ago to the still-unnamed "miracle" offspring.
Genetic tests confirmed that the foal is Kate's. (Ed Kosmicki, Special to The Denver Post) COLLBRAN — When it reportedly happened in Morocco five years ago, locals feared it signaled the end of the world. In Albania in 1994, it was thought to have unleashed the spawn of the devil on a small village. But on a Grand Mesa ranch, the once-in-a-million, genetically "impossible" occurrence of a mule giving birth has only drawn keen interest from the scientific world.
That, and a stream of the locally curious driving up from the small town of Collbran to check out and snap pictures of a frisky, huge-eared, gangly-legged foal. The foal is being called a miracle because mules aren't supposed to give birth.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (10.2MB) Our dogs are going to make mistakes when we train. And we have a choice to make about how we respond to those errors. The fastest way to get the behaviour we want might also discourage our dog from wanting to learn anything else with us.
How we tell our dogs they didn’t get it right matters. With a little help from marine mammal trainers, there is an interesting way to get our dogs back on track without interrupting the flow of learning. The Least Reinforcing Stimulus or LRS can be just the thing to make the occasional error a non-event and keep your dog eager to learn what you are trying to teach!

Novel Treatment for Canine Brain Cancer Offers Hope. By Dr. Becker Early in 2013, Roxy, a 12 year-old Boxer, was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a very common – and very deadly – type of brain cancer. She was given only a month to live.Roxy’s owner contacted Dr. Liz Pluhar at the University of Minnesota. Six Months After Surgery, Roxy is Cancer Free Roxy is one of 100 dogs receiving an experimental treatment for brain cancer that doesn’t involve radiation or chemotherapy -- two traditional therapies that often fall into the category of “the cure is worse than the disease.”The technique being used by Pluhar is a vaccine customized for each patient that helps the immune system destroy cancer cells that remain after tumors are surgically removed.
"They act like there's nothing wrong with them at all. Before the vaccine, dogs with Roxie’s form of cancer lived only a few weeks after diagnosis.

NORWOOD, Ohio - After at least three local dogs died from a violent illness, the Ohio Department of Agriculture is urging owners to monitor their dogs closely for warning signs. The dead dogs had bloody diarrhea and violent vomiting, said ODA spokesperson Erica Hawkins. She said owners who see those symptoms should take their dogs to the vet immediately.
Tests are being conducted to determine the illness, Hawkins said. The Pet Spot in Norwood temporarily shut down its doggie daycare Friday after four dogs it handles became ill, owner Jeff Voepel said on The Pet Spot’s Facebook page. There may be more cases, Hawkins said. “We’ve had three deaths referred to us, but we’ve heard reports of other dogs as well,” Hawkins said. The symptoms could indicate a severe illness known as HGH (hemorrhagic gastroenteritis). “What’s amazing about this condition is that these animals are normal one day and the next day they’re extremely sick,” said Michael Della Ripa, internist at MedVet Cincinnati. Dogs Remember as Well as Humans. The memory of dogs is more human-like than previously thought, allowing our furry pals to copy our actions, even after delays.
The discovery, outlined in the latest issue of Animal Cognition, means that dogs possess what’s known as “declarative memory,” which refers to memories which can be consciously recalled, such as facts or knowledge. Humans, of course, have this ability, as anyone playing a trivia game demonstrates. But it had never fully been scientifically proven in dogs before, although dog owners and canine aficionados have likely witnessed the skill first-hand for years. NEWS: Cats Don’t Actually Ignore Us Claudia Fugazza and Adám Miklósi of Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary conducted the study. The team investigated if dogs could defer imitation, which in this case meant copying what their owners were doing. Fugazza described what happened next with one owner-dog pair: The owner, Valentina, got her dog Adila to pay attention to her.
PHOTOS: Ugliest Dog Contenders. Your dog is a copycat, study says. The next time your dog digs a hole in the backyard after watching you garden, don’t punish him. He’s just imitating you. A new study reveals that our canine pals are capable of copying our behavior as long as 10 minutes after it’s happened. The ability is considered mentally demanding and, until this discovery, something that only humans and apes were known to do. Scientists first discovered that dogs are excellent at imitating their owners in 2006.
Or at least, one dog had the talent: Philip, a 4-year-old Belgian Tervuren working with Jozsef Topal, a behavioral ethologist at the Hungarian Academy of Sciences in Budapest. Topal adapted the method (called “Do as I do”) that Keith and Catherine Hayes developed in the 1950s for teaching an infant chimpanzee to copy their actions. Philip was already a trained assistant dog for his disabled owner and readily followed Topal’s commands. Through the eyes of a dog The owners trained their dogs using the “Do as I do” method.

Tails of Seattle | Heart dogs: Kathy Sdao and Effie. Have you ever had one of those special animals in your life that you couldn't have lived without? Who taught you more about living and loving than any other worldly creature? These are heart dogs, once-in-a-lifetime treasures that nest in our hearts and stay forever.

If you are reading this column, there’s a good chance you think about dogs and dog training. If you are a regular reader of this column, you probably spend more time than the average dog owner thinking about dogs and dog training.
We humans are great at thinking. We like to do it and we do it a lot. We are creatures of reason and we have even gone so far as to define the ways in which we reason to make sure we have some good ways of getting at the truth of things. When it comes to our dogs, bringing our reason to bear in trying to understand them and enjoy our lives with them can be both a blessing and a curse. The age of reason Reasoning is our human way of using knowledge to draw conclusions, make predictions, or find explanations for the things we experience in the world.
Deductive reasoning begins with a general rule or rules and applies them to a specific conclusions. All dogs are descended from wolves. This seems a reasonable argument and the Deductive reasoning used is sound. IntelliLeash. Wiggles Wags & Whiskers :: No-Pull Harness :: Freedom No-Pull Harness.
