Dog Cancer and Dog Cancer Treatment

Dog Cancer and Dog Cancer Treatment

I have been training dogs for the last ten years. I have owned dogs my whole life. Yet, I was still shocked when I first came across dog cancer treatment a few weeks back. Yes, this should have occurred to me before and frankly, I am not sure why it did not. After all, I was diagnosed with cancer last year. I cannot believe it never dawned on me that dogs got cancer too. It has not been talked about before, at least not around me.

That is why you will see that my blogs will start taking an occasional turn away from dog training advice. Yes, I will still mainly focus on dog training tips. However, I believe cancer in dogs needs to be talked about. Therefore, I will talk about dog cancer treatment options when I find them.

Don't Like It Don't Read it
If you do not want to know about dog cancer feel free to skip over these post. Simple as that. Dog cancer treatment and dog cancer stories will be clearly posted in titles. Just don't read them. Come back when we have something you want to read. However, as a dog lover and a cancer survivor this is important to me.

Dog Cancer Treatment

Testimonials
I plan to share testimonials as I find them. Read them for what they are worth. Remember people and dogs react differently and results do vary.

Scientific Research
Like testimonials, scientific research is different for different people. I tend to always fall in that 1%. If 1% of people get sick, that is me. However, if it only works for 1% of people, then that is also me.

Personal Experience
My own personal experience tells me everyone is different. I found this out the hard way. My dogs and my life are unique and so are yours! Don't let anyone every make you give up.

Dog Training Advice: Stop Digging Holes

I get the question all the time. How do I get my dog to stop digging holes?

There are some simple tricks that come to mind. However, not all dogs are the same so you might have to try a few different things before coming around to the right method.

First, try covering up fresh dirt. This is normally the easiest thing. I know Halogen will dig up fresh dirt in a heartbeat. Put down some grass and she won't dig.

Second, you might try a little doggie surprise. When you find a whole put a water balloon inside and cover it back up. When the dog digs, it will ge a nice pop.

Last, try putting some chicken wire in the whole. This worked for my little Poopsie. She liked to dig by the fence and I put some wire down. She didn't like the feel of the wire and stopped digging.

Dog Training Advice: Take Control of Feeding

When I first got Carmel, she was a very excitable dog. She was a rescue (like all my dogs) which meant she came with some bad behaviors. Carmel was 2 years old when I got her which added more problems with training. But...

Old Dogs Can Learn New Tricks

At first Carmel would go nuts at feeding time. She would jump and bark. She ran in circles. It was a real problem. This behavior had to stop!

Here is what I did to stop the behavior in 2 short weeks!
  1. I made sure I was calm when I fed her.
  2. I did not speak to her during the process. No praise and No correction.
  3. If she started jumping, I stopped what I was doing. I only continued when she calmed down.
That's it. That is all I did and she learned:

CALM = Food
