Francis Bacon once said, “Nature to be commanded, must be obeyed.” When it comes to training a dog, this saying is very wise indeed. Dogs, as a species, are accustomed to a hierarchy structure of command and leadership. That’s the way they naturally function and would continue to function if we had not domesticated them to be pets. So they are accustomed to a structure where everyone-or every dog-has his place in the pack-from the alpha leader to the bottom or omega dog. When you teach your dog the “down” technique, you are asserting your place as the alpha in the dog’s world.

When a dog has learned the down technique and rests in this position, you won’t have to worry about children getting bowled over or furniture getting jostled about. It also forms the building blocks for additional commands you may want to teach your dog-such as “sit,” “stay,” “roll over,” or even tricks.

It is advantageous that such behavior is often quite straightforward to train. That is why it is desirable to exploit such uncompelled behavior when possible. You can do this through watching the dog and jumping in when there is a unambiguous change from standing to a sitting posture orsensations4 from a sitting position to a down position.

When you see this happen you should deliver a obvious and exclusive verbal command and hand signal combination. Each and every behavior pattern should always be coupled with an unique hand sign that is not used typically throughout the day. It is also important to use a clear, precise word and tone.

After the command and as soon as the point of completion of the behavior is reached, praise the dog lavishly. At the outset, the dog will not have a clear awareness of why it is drawing praise. In fact, this is not important. With repetition of these actions, the dog’s behavior will proceed from the command. Remember, it is the correct behavior you are seeking.

Most dogs will not achieve the intended behavior on a command at first. So, always be patient and clear and - before anything else - be consistent. As with any other type of training, it is essential to minimize sound and motion types of interruptions during the teaching period. Seek being alone with the dog and as far away from other people and animals as possible.

Always stimulate positive behavior through using a treat or popular toy and placing the dog in a sitting position at the same time placing the toy on the ground near to the front of the dog’s nose.

After you’ve done this a few times, try using a hand movement where you hold your hand palm down and “wave” it down. Be careful to provide the praise or treat reinforcement only after the behavior you desire has been completed correctly. The reward is for the correct behavior. If the dog doesn’t understand initially, though, don’t get angry or frustrated.

For a slow on the uptake or strong-willed dog, it becomes essential to complement training by using a collar and leash in your efforts. Try to use a short nylon or leather leash that is, most favorably, about two to four feet. Place your dog in a sitting position and kneel down facing him.

Now simultaneously make your distinct hand gesture and issue your voice command while moving the toy or treat from a position by the dog’s chin slowly bringing it down to the ground. At the same time, slowly and gently pull on the leash to encourage the dog to go down. Do not tug or pull at the leash or make this a negative experience for the dog in any way.

In those rare cases where your dog seems to have difficulty learning, try this. Face the dog at a bit of an angle and, while you are kneeling down, slip the loop of the leash under one or your feet and also slide the loop under the knee of the dog’s opposite leg. Now try issuing the command again, only this time, gently pull the leash loop with your foot and pull both of the dog’s front legs toward you gently, so he slides down into the down position.

And once the dog is in the proper position, you should praise the dog profusely even though you were the one who started the movement and not the dog. The goal is for the dog to couple such a position with good feelings: both his feelings and yours.

Dog bladder stones can be very painful, causing bleeding, suffering pain and misery to your favorite furry friend. They can also can require multiple visits to the vet. In this article, you’ll learn some simple steps to dissolve struvite bladder stones and prevent them from ever coming back.

Understand that bladder stones in dogs do require an initial visit to the vet. This is because some stones need to be surgically removed. If your dog is diagnosed with struvite bladder crystals or stones, these can easily be dissolved with a natural remedy and a proper diet. This article focuses on the struvite type of bladder stones.

Many pet owners do not know that it is an improper diet that usually causes dog bladder stones in the first place. If you feed your dog commercially prepared kibble, then you should check the label because you are probably feeding your dog a diet of cheap grains, preservatives, dyes and meat byproducts. The cheap grains and chemicals in these junk food kibble products upset the delicate pH in the bladder, allowing bladder crystals to form and bacteria to proliferate and turn into infections. Worse yet, these products do not give your dog the nutrients needed to heal the body, build a strong immunity and ward off serious diseases like cancer.

Instead of feeding your dog junk food kibble, buy organic kibble from your health food store, vet office or pet store. Make sure this kibble is made of lean protein, nutrient-rich vegetables and healthy oils. Although it will be more expensive than commercial brands, your dog will eat less because he will be getting the nutrients he needs, so the kibble will last longer.

Next, give your pet a supplement designed specifically to prevent the formation of bladder stones in dogs These supplements are completely natural, have no side effects and will not interact with any other medications that your dog might need to take. If your dog has bladder crystals, these supplements will quickly dissolve them. Supplements that contain proven herbs like Cantharis and Uva Ursi can also be used daily for prevention and are the best natural remedy and prevention method for dog bladder stones.  

Finally, make sure your dog gets plenty of water and daily exercise. Water helps to flush out the bladder and remove toxins. It is vital for all the organs of your dog’s body. Giving your dog filtered water is best because the filter will remove the chemicals in your tap water. Taking your dog for a daily walk is important because exercise reduces stress, improves immunity and stimulates the lymph system to eliminate toxins.

So that’s it: a simple system for treating and preventing and treating dog bladder stones: a healthy diet, a daily supplement and plenty of clean water and regular exercise. Take these steps and your dog will be healthy, happy and live a good, long life.
