Finding the Right Chihuahua Trainer

Finding the Right Chihuahua Trainer

There is no universally recognized certificate out there to prove that someone is a good dog trainer. The best trainers learn by taking available classes, continuously researching animal behavior, and through a lot of hands-on experience. So with such a big pack of trainers out there how should you go about finding the perfect one?

The Good, the Bad, the Really Bad

It's important to understand what makes a good or bad trainer. A suitable trainer is someone who you feel comfortable with, and who your dog takes to. A scared dog is not going to learn effectively.

Stay away from trainers who resort to training your dog through physical discipline such as: alpha rolling (forcing a dog to lie on his back), yanking on leashes, grabbing the scruff of your dog's neck or yelling. These are all unethical forms of training and can cause your dog to become aggressive.

An ethical trainer uses positive reinforcement techniques. Positive reinforcement includes rewarding a dog with treats, attention, and praise when he shows good behavior.

How to Find a Good One

There are a couple of different ways to find a good trainer. The first involves word of mouth, and the other involves taking a first-hand look at some trainers and their techniques.

• References: Word of mouth is one of the best ways to find a trainer. That's why it's a good idea to talk to people who have either taken a training class or used a trainer. Someone who has dealt with a trainer first-hand will be able to tell you, what goes on during a session. A good place to look for references is through your friends, veterinarian, groomer, staff at your local shelter, and your doggy daycare.
  
  
• Observe a Class: A trainer who takes pride in their work should have no problem letting you sit in on a class. When there, you should observe everything - not only the trainer. Watch how the dogs take to the trainer. If the dogs are not happy, then the trainer is most likely intimidating, which can create a poor learning environment. Also, watch how the trainer interacts with owners. If a trainer is reprimanding someone, without properly teaching them the right way, then you might want to look elsewhere.
  
  
• Trainer Organizations: There are 2 major organizations for dog trainers: The Association of Pet Dog Trainers, and The International Association of Canine Professionals. Many trainers will belong to one or both of these.

It may take a bit of work but once you find a trainer who believes in the value of positive reinforcement and makes you and your dog feel comfortable, training will be more enjoyable and rewarding for you and your dog.

Your Chihuahua's Cold Tootsies Janaury 25, 2007

No matter how much fur Fido is wearing on his body, his feet have little protection from winter's chill. Here's how to spare his feet from the deep freeze. Keep the hair on your pooch's feet trimmed short to discourage ice from clinging to them and making painful little frozen nuggets between his toes. And before going out, coat his paws with a small bit of something greasy that will stick to the pads, like petroleum jelly or a spray of cooking oil. When you return, wipe his feet, especially if your streets or sidewalks are salted. Or make winter walks even easier -- for both of you -- with insulated, slip-proof doggie booties. Bianca

Is your pet in shape?

Chances are, your pet is at least a little overweight. As American's have gained weight over the years, so have our pets. The habits people get into that cause weight gain and obesity have been passed on to our pets. We pamper ourselves, we pamper our pets. We sit on the couch watching TV, our pets lounge on our laps. Not that there's anything wrong with pampering and leisure, but too much of a good thing can lead to too much of a bad thing – like fat and lethargy.

Most people who are overweight have pets that are overweight. And although we are very conscious of a few extra pounds on our own bodies, we tend not tobe aware of it on our pets. But even an extra pound or two on a dog or cat can put them at risk for certain health conditions and may even contribute to a shortened life span. So call your pet over and check her body condition. Here's how to tell if your pet is fit or fat:

Ideal Dog Body Condition

Have your dog stand up and look over him, viewing his back. You should be able to see a nicely defined waist behind the ribs. Look at him from the side. There should be a definite tuck of his tummy. If he's a short-haired dog, you should see an outline of his ribs. (If his ribs are highly visible, he's too thin.) However, if he's sausage shaped, no waistline, he's overweight. See Ideal Dog Body Condition diagram.

Ideal Cat Body Condition

Have your cat stand up and look over her, viewing her back. She should be sleek, with a slight indication of a waist behind her ribs. You should be able to feel her ribs, which should have a slight fat covering. From the side, her tummy should appear smaller than her chest. If your cat's shape is bowed out at all when viewed from above, or there's no differentiation between her chest and tummy when viewed from the side, she's overweight. See Ideal Cat Body Condition diagram.

So what do you do if your pet is overweight? It's very important to get your pet back into ideal body condition, to help him feel better and have more energy – and less chance of developing a weight-related health condition. Start with a few common-sense basics:

1. Make sure your pet's food is appropriate for your pet's life stage. If in doubt, ask your veterinarian.
2. Don't just fill your pet's bowl with food. Read the recommended serving amount on the package and measure the food to be sure you're feeding a proper amount. Remember: feed to maintain your pet's ideal body condition.
3. Avoid feeding table scraps, which are usually high in fat and calories.
4. If you give your pet dog or cat treats throughout the day, reduce the amount you feed at mealtime, to account for the additional calories of the treats.
5. Tie treats to activities – use as rewards and inspiration for play and exercise.
6. Make sure your pet gets enough exercise. Always check with your pet's veterinarian before starting a new and demandingactivity with your dog or cat. Here are some tips for dogs and cats.

Resist the Begging – Your Dog's Not Starving!

You may feed your dog more than he needs because he leads you to believe he's ravenously hungry so often. He wolfs down his food and is always eager for more. In fact, he'll never turn down food, and may go hunting for more in the garbage after he's had his fill. He isn't a bottomless pit, he's just acting on instinct. In the wild, dogs eat anything they can find, and as much of it as they can eat because they know it could be days before their next meal. So, you are not causing your dog to suffer hunger pangs when you don't let him have snacks between meals. Just realize, that if he were in the wild, he'd easily live off one meal a day and would be running around hunting all day to obtain it. Your dog's body is actually built for more exercise and less food than his house pet status provides!

The Chihuahuas need to send a letter to Kempthorne today – urge him to stop the wolf massacre!

Hi Chihuahua Lovers,

Gale Norton is gone, and with the arrival of a new Secretary of the Interior, there is renewed hope for Alaska's wolves. But with the state possibly only weeks away from a new aerial gunning season, we need your help to prevent the killing of hundreds of wolves. Send a letter to Kempthorne today – urge him to stop the wolf massacre!
