29
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,239
a great place to start for simple problems. Of course,

30
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,439
anything that lingers, anything becomes a major problem. Of course

31
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,719
you need to see your veterinarian. But if you have problems,

32
00:01:53,799 --> 00:01:55,840
give us a call and let's talk about them. A

33
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,760
couple of things before we get started all about it.

34
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,599
I think it was a week ago, maybe two weeks ago,

35
00:01:59,599 --> 00:02:02,000
we talked to Skipper. This was that little dog that

36
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,959
was mauled by two big dogs. The trachea was torn,

37
00:02:06,319 --> 00:02:09,400
body wall damage. The dog was filling up, basically filling

38
00:02:09,439 --> 00:02:10,759
up with air. It was almost like you took a

39
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,919
valve and you blew him up. He was huge because

40
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:17,120
the air was leaking from his trachia into his SubQ space. Anyway,

41
00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:20,039
treatment long story short, we sent him home about a

42
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,560
week ago. He came back in two days ago for

43
00:02:22,719 --> 00:02:24,639
a final rechauct to remove his wrap and to pull

44
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,080
the drain. We had put in, and this dog is amazing.

45
00:02:28,439 --> 00:02:30,960
He is backed normal. It's just you know, the body

46
00:02:31,159 --> 00:02:34,520
is remarkable. And I think that for whatever reason, this

47
00:02:34,599 --> 00:02:37,400
dog healed beautifully. He's back to his old self. The

48
00:02:37,479 --> 00:02:40,840
air is resolved, his body wall terear is healing. So

49
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,280
it's just amazing. So anyway, that's really good news. You know,

50
00:02:44,439 --> 00:02:46,639
if you have anything, if your pet has been through

51
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,840
some kind of trauma, or if you have been through

52
00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:50,680
some kind of trauma with your pet and you want

53
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:53,120
to share your stories, we'd love to hear your story.

54
00:02:53,199 --> 00:02:55,680
So give us a call here at pet Life Radio.

55
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,840
You're on with doctor Jeff Werber on Astivats with doctor

56
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,800
Jeff once again. That number is eight seven seven three

57
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,120
eight five eight eight eighty two. Don't be shy, give

58
00:03:05,199 --> 00:03:07,520
us a call. So I was going through some notes

59
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:08,879
of things. You know, here it is in the good

60
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,159
weather we've been having and as you know, we talk

61
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:15,319
about the issues with having a dog that's not typically

62
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,240
used to if you had a kind of a somewhat

63
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,520
of a sedate winter. Now that the weather's changing, it's

64
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,199
getting nice out. It's springtime. Actually in a few short weeks,

65
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,639
it's going to be two short weeks, it's going to

66
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:28,800
be summertime, so we need to know how do we

67
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:31,680
handle some of these issues that we're seeing with our pets.

68
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,080
So this was a great article, and it's how to

69
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,199
keep your dog safe at the dog park. That's something

70
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,520
that most of us wouldn't even think about. What do

71
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,639
you mean safe at the dog park? Well, you know,

72
00:03:40,639 --> 00:03:42,800
it's amazing when I think of my own dogs.

73
00:03:43,039 --> 00:03:43,639
Speaker 3: I have five.

74
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: Some of them are not as well behaved as I

75
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,680
would like them to be. I belong to a doctor, Jeff.

76
00:03:48,719 --> 00:03:51,280
He's done a really allows you tough with me, socializing me.

77
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:53,319
But you know, it's so weird because I have so

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,280
many they in a sense have creating their own pack.

79
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,919
So any dog that is not part of this pack

80
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,479
is a strange dog. You know, if people that have

81
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,639
one or two dogs and they frequent the dog park

82
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,919
because it's easy when you only have one or two dogs.

83
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 3: Now, these dogs are used to.

84
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:09,599
Speaker 2: It and they used to have another dogs, and they

85
00:04:09,639 --> 00:04:10,919
get to know their other dogs, and they get to

86
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,080
know the smells, and it's fun. But sometimes when you

87
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,759
have enough dogs or too many dogs, that it's sometimes

88
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,160
hard to make that little trip. You need to learn

89
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,399
some rules of the game when it comes to dog parks.

90
00:04:23,759 --> 00:04:25,680
So I'm going out a couple of things you'll need.

91
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:28,439
First of all, you need water and a water dish.

92
00:04:28,759 --> 00:04:31,279
Don't assume that every park is going to have that. Now,

93
00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:33,639
many of them, especially the gated parks, might have an

94
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,759
area where there's a big fountain or fausted and there's

95
00:04:35,759 --> 00:04:38,079
a big bowl or bowls underneath and there's water available,

96
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:39,879
but don't count on it. So make sure get to

97
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,680
a store. You can get to a pet store and

98
00:04:41,759 --> 00:04:45,680
they have these really cool water containers that are collapsible.

99
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,279
They can clip on your belt loop or on your belt.

100
00:04:48,759 --> 00:04:50,079
You can put them in a fanny pack. I mean,

101
00:04:50,079 --> 00:04:51,879
there's so many places can put them, but they're really cool.

102
00:04:51,879 --> 00:04:54,240
And they also have them that are disposable. They're a

103
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,040
little hard sort of hard rubber. You can open them up,

104
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:58,439
you use them a few times, then you can throw

105
00:04:58,439 --> 00:05:01,040
them away. Of course, this time a year flee and

106
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,759
tick treatment. I had a dog we saw recently. It

107
00:05:03,879 --> 00:05:06,079
happened to be a rescue dog. And this lady comes

108
00:05:06,079 --> 00:05:09,680
in with these little little teeny teeny whatever is that

109
00:05:09,759 --> 00:05:13,160
that you found around this dog in the bed.

110
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:14,160
Speaker 3: So we took them.

111
00:05:14,199 --> 00:05:16,879
Speaker 2: You can see them moving under a microscope. But they

112
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:18,839
really didn't look like anything we had seen, and we

113
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,000
looked up you know, chiggers and lice and all these

114
00:05:21,079 --> 00:05:24,000
possible things it could be. Wasn't a baby flea. So

115
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,399
we collected them and I sent them to a really

116
00:05:26,399 --> 00:05:29,639
good friend of mine, doctor Mike Dryden, who's the clinical

117
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,120
parasitologist on staff at kse DATE, Kansas State University of

118
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:35,959
Veterini School, And Mike's at DVM and a PhD.

119
00:05:36,079 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 3: And he's a really sharp guy.

120
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 2: So anyway, I collected about a dozen of these little things,

121
00:05:40,959 --> 00:05:42,639
put him in a test tube, put him on in

122
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,160
some alcohol, and sent them to Mike's lab and he

123
00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:51,040
called me yesterday. They were brown dog tick larvae. And

124
00:05:51,079 --> 00:05:54,480
I'm telling you, these things were smaller than a pinhead,

125
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,079
and little black things, and under microscope you can see

126
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,199
them moving, and that's what they were. They were larvae

127
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:04,079
of a brown dog tick. So obviously there are ticks

128
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,639
out there, and when that big engorged mama tick lays

129
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,000
those eggs, they'll fall, you know, wherever they see laid them.

130
00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:12,839
In this case, it may have been on this bed.

131
00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:17,040
And as these eggs start hatching and developing into the

132
00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:19,759
pupil and then the larval stage. This is what they

133
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,680
look like. They're like miniature teeny teeny baby ticks. So

134
00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:27,000
disgusting anyway, that's what they were. So make sure you

135
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,279
get fietic treatment. Even if you don't see fleas on

136
00:06:31,319 --> 00:06:35,040
your dog, trust me, they're there. So unless you live,

137
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:40,040
you know, in super super dry, high altitude, maybe in Denver, Colorado,

138
00:06:40,079 --> 00:06:42,639
you may not see fleas, but most places in the country,

139
00:06:42,759 --> 00:06:45,319
especially this time of year, as it gets mugg ear,

140
00:06:45,519 --> 00:06:48,879
as it gets warmer, you're gonna see fleas. Also, mosquitoes.

141
00:06:49,079 --> 00:06:51,040
Remember if you're in the east or in the southeast

142
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,920
or the south and you're gonna you see a lot

143
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:56,160
of mosquitoes, make sure your pets are also covered with

144
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,920
their either mosquito repellent, but certainly heartworm preventative as well.

145
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,199
And here's some things that just that takes you through

146
00:07:02,199 --> 00:07:04,560
things with your basics, all right, I like to carry

147
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:06,800
maybe a bandana or sell cloth or something you can

148
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,199
wet down and put around your dog's neck. I think

149
00:07:09,199 --> 00:07:12,240
that's important as well, just in case they start to overheat.

150
00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:14,199
And also we talked about this a couple of weeks

151
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:18,720
ago to learn how to recognize signs of heat exhaustion.

152
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,360
This is where the dog is going to be all

153
00:07:21,399 --> 00:07:26,319
of a sudden, slowing down, panting incessantly, like truly can't

154
00:07:26,399 --> 00:07:28,759
catch his or her breath. If you touch the body

155
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:31,480
or touch the tongue, it is boiling hot. The mouth

156
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:33,920
is getting very tacky and dry. You're seeing very thick

157
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:38,079
saliva around the mouth. This is all indications that you

158
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,720
need to take a rest, find some shade, give your

159
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,839
dog some water, maybe wet them down, and be prepared

160
00:07:45,879 --> 00:07:47,160
to get some help if need be.

161
00:07:47,279 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 3: But do not risk it.

162
00:07:49,279 --> 00:07:51,319
Speaker 2: Do not say ah, just we'll be okay, just a

163
00:07:51,319 --> 00:07:53,519
little a little bit longer abouts or come on, just

164
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,000
it's got to go down this hill. No, no, no, stop,

165
00:07:56,079 --> 00:07:58,560
find shelter, find shade right away, get that water going.

166
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:01,120
So if you have a dog, so here's some things

167
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:02,920
that we're gonna read. It says, basically, you need to

168
00:08:02,959 --> 00:08:04,639
keep your eye on your dog because if he's very

169
00:08:04,639 --> 00:08:07,720
active or excitable, he may be more prone to having

170
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,480
an accident at the park, at the dog park then

171
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:14,680
his calmer counterparts. So over enthusiastic play can result in

172
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,199
joint strain and other injuries. So that's something to keep

173
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,079
an eye out for. You want to keep your dog

174
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,920
away from dogs who seem to be showing signs of

175
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,160
aggressive behavior. And here's why this is important. You can

176
00:08:26,199 --> 00:08:28,199
have the sweetest dog in the world, and if your

177
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:31,000
dog has never been threatened, then you may not know

178
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:31,920
that even has.

179
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:32,799
Speaker 3: An aggressive side.

180
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,519
Speaker 2: But if in fact he is met by a dog

181
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,799
that is aggressive, it might bring out some aggression in

182
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,759
yours as well. And just know one thing, as I'm

183
00:08:42,799 --> 00:08:45,799
sure you may know, many dog parks are off leash,

184
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,600
So you get into that closed area right and you

185
00:08:49,639 --> 00:08:51,840
have a gate, and people right away let their dogs

186
00:08:51,879 --> 00:08:54,639
off the leash, so you've got to be really careful

187
00:08:54,879 --> 00:08:57,399
if there's a dog there that may not be as

188
00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,320
friendly as yours or other dogs. We're gonna go one

189
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,399
more before we have to break for a little commercial.

190
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,639
Is we talked about the flea and tick treatment. You

191
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,240
want to put the flea and tick treatment on before

192
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:11,799
you get to the park, preferably a day or two before.

193
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,320
It does take a little time to work, and what

194
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,519
you don't want to do is doing that morning or

195
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,519
ten minutes before you're about to hop in the car,

196
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:22,960
because these flea and tick issues are prevalent in these

197
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,919
situations because there are a lot of other dogs out

198
00:09:25,919 --> 00:09:28,799
there that may be carrying the fleas and ticks, and

199
00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:31,480
especially dogs that were treated. Remember a lot of these

200
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,399
great products out there, I have really great kill action,

201
00:09:34,799 --> 00:09:38,240
but not necessarily a lot of repellent action, though there

202
00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:40,360
are some that do. So there's nothing that's going to

203
00:09:40,399 --> 00:09:42,840
stop a dog from latching on and then it can

204
00:09:42,879 --> 00:09:45,360
depending on rough play or just play the fleas hopping

205
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,080
onto another dog. So make sure that your dog is

206
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:53,240
protected ideally before you even get to the park. And

207
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,480
again we talked about water. Take breaks often. I mean,

208
00:09:56,519 --> 00:09:58,120
in fact, it's take even a good idea, even if

209
00:09:58,159 --> 00:10:01,639
you don't think your dog is exhausted. Just every few minutes,

210
00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:04,120
five minutes, ten minutes, you're running, you're having a good time,

211
00:10:04,159 --> 00:10:06,240
you're throwing the frisbee, you're throwing the tennis ball. Maybe

212
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,159
take a breather and off your dog some water, let

213
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,320
them catch his breath, relax for a little bit. I

214
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,639
think that would be a great thing to do before

215
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,279
we go on to Oh, let's go, we have another minute.

216
00:10:15,279 --> 00:10:16,600
We're going to go on to the last one, and

217
00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:18,840
that is you want to be mindful and try to

218
00:10:18,919 --> 00:10:20,840
learn as much as you can about the bark if

219
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:24,200
there are any chemicals like pesticides or fertilizers that may

220
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,399
have been placed on the ground. Now, most dog parks,

221
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,279
most municipalities the city has known for not letting this happen.

222
00:10:31,519 --> 00:10:34,559
They are aware that there are a lot of dogs

223
00:10:34,639 --> 00:10:37,639
running in this dog park, so they either refrain or

224
00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:40,840
they'll put warning signs up. You know, we sprayed the grass,

225
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,480
you know, yesterday or last night, whatever, so you at

226
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,720
least are aware, you know. But if you are not sure,

227
00:10:47,159 --> 00:10:50,480
better be safe and sorry, check with the authorities to

228
00:10:50,519 --> 00:10:53,200
find out. Maybe talk to some of the other normal

229
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:56,200
regular regulars who bring their dogs to the park to

230
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:59,519
see if they know anything about any kind of fertilizers, pesticides,

231
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,840
things like that. So that basically covers some really good

232
00:11:03,879 --> 00:11:06,399
tips and warnings. We'll get to in just a minute,

233
00:11:06,679 --> 00:11:09,279
but first we want to take a quick break, a

My computer is on to doctor Jeff at Petlife radio

309
00:15:13,559 --> 00:15:16,399
question join the conversation if you're logged on listening on

310
00:15:16,399 --> 00:15:19,440
the computer as I speak, So a couple of things

311
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,480
before we leave the dog park issue, and we're going

312
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:23,799
to talk about something else coming up. So if there

313
00:15:23,919 --> 00:15:28,000
was any question about chemical exposure, fertilizers, pesticize, whatever, make

314
00:15:28,039 --> 00:15:32,080
sure you bathe your pet thoroughly. Also be courteous to

315
00:15:32,159 --> 00:15:35,879
the other parkgoers. Clean up after your pets. Make sure

316
00:15:35,919 --> 00:15:39,200
you bring the doggie bags. That is very, very important.

317
00:15:39,279 --> 00:15:41,080
It's just the right thing to do. What can I

318
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,279
tell you? So if you have your dogs are out there,

319
00:15:44,279 --> 00:15:46,480
they're having a good time. Trust me, they are going

320
00:15:46,480 --> 00:15:48,320
to stop for bathroom break. I don't thinky I've ever

321
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:50,720
seen a dog not especially it seems to happen more often.

322
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,720
We gonna get excited, So make sure you have your

323
00:15:52,759 --> 00:15:55,720
little doggie bags with you, and clean up after your pets.

324
00:15:55,879 --> 00:15:59,639
And as I mentioned, any signs of overheating, lethargy, salivation, vomiting,

325
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,120
drying mouth, excessive excessive panting, just stopping, doesn't want to

326
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:07,480
walk immediately immediately get some water, shade, wiped up, wet

327
00:16:07,559 --> 00:16:09,759
the feet down really well, with some cold water, bring

328
00:16:09,799 --> 00:16:12,080
that temperature down, wet the dog down, take a canteen

329
00:16:12,159 --> 00:16:14,679
or thermos, and just portal over your dog something.

330
00:16:14,679 --> 00:16:16,279
Speaker 3: That can be deadly.

331
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 2: So also, one thing that I was thinking about and

332
00:16:19,639 --> 00:16:21,960
I just I realized that this stuff usually hits us

333
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,519
so quickly. There is another big day around the corner,

334
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:28,360
certainly less than a month away, and it inevitably wreaks

335
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,000
some havoc in the homes of many of our especially

336
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,120
dog owners, cat owners as well, but mostly dog owners.

337
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,120
And that wonderful day is the fourth of July. And

338
00:16:39,159 --> 00:16:42,960
what makes it so anxiety provoking for many is the

339
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:47,600
fact that so many dogs seem to totally freak out

340
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:50,279
with fireworks. Now, you know, I have to tell you

341
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:54,120
that many of us have made mistakes with the how

342
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,799
to handle this, and the biggest mistake we usually make

343
00:16:57,279 --> 00:17:02,519
is overreacting to the dog rugs overreacting. Here's what I mean.

344
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,319
That dog starts hearing the fireworks. Now, trust me, they

345
00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:08,839
are hearing this fireworks way before you are, because they're

346
00:17:08,839 --> 00:17:11,279
hearing sounds from a distance that you can't even begin

347
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:11,839
to pick up.

348
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 3: That's how amazing their hearing is.

349
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 2: Right well, they're starting to respond they're shivering, they're cowling,

350
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:21,039
they're hiding in the corner. And what's your typical response.

351
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 3: Oh, you poor baby, come here. I mean you said

352
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,200
with mommy, say with daddy? Had to go Okay. Meanwhile,

353
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:27,680
so what are you doing? Think about it?

354
00:17:27,799 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: You are reinforcing that behavior. So when the dog behaves

355
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,079
that way and they hear the sounds and they start

356
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,960
cowering in the corner, right and you call them over

357
00:17:38,039 --> 00:17:41,759
for love and affection, they're saying, ah, this is fantastic,

358
00:17:41,839 --> 00:17:44,799
this is great. So first of all, you have to

359
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,319
kind of ignore the behavior. You can't punish them for it,

360
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,720
but don't make a big deal about it. But here

361
00:17:49,839 --> 00:17:51,160
is and this is why I'm really starting to talk

362
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,680
about this. And now we have a few weeks before

363
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,160
it's fourth of July. And here's what I want you

364
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:58,880
to think about doing the best way once and for

365
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,319
all to deal with problem is to fix the reaction.

366
00:18:03,759 --> 00:18:08,519
And there are two typical behavior techniques that we often employ,

367
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:12,359
and those are they often go together, and that's desensitization

368
00:18:12,839 --> 00:18:16,119
and followed by counter conditioning. So what does this mean

369
00:18:16,519 --> 00:18:21,200
to desensitize? We need to desensitize these dogs to those

370
00:18:21,519 --> 00:18:24,400
loud sounds. So here's how you do it. You can

371
00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:26,799
buy you can probably download now because everything's on the computer,

372
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:33,039
a sound effects tape, and you can easily download fireworks sound.

373
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:34,759
You can also do this, by the way, for thunder

374
00:18:34,799 --> 00:18:37,880
and lightning sound, and that's often very similar. So what

375
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:39,319
you do as you start, you have the dog in

376
00:18:39,319 --> 00:18:40,960
your room, in the room with you sitting on your lap,

377
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,279
playing sitting on the floor whatever, and you can start

378
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:49,519
daily playing the sound effects tape, playing the fireworks sound

379
00:18:49,839 --> 00:18:52,480
very very low, barely audible. And as soon as you

380
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,519
start playing it inaudible to you, but the dog can

381
00:18:54,559 --> 00:18:55,640
hear it, call them over.

382
00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:57,519
Speaker 3: And say, oh my god, that's a good boy, and

383
00:18:57,559 --> 00:18:58,960
give a little treat, okay.

384
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,759
Speaker 2: And you want to do this every single day by

385
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,480
playing it a little bit louder each day, and every

386
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:08,400
time you are instead of having the dog in fear,

387
00:19:08,519 --> 00:19:11,319
you're gonna call him over for big hugs and big kisses,

388
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:16,160
and you are gonna start rewarding him for the sound

389
00:19:16,279 --> 00:19:19,480
and the non responsiveness. He's gonna hear the sound and

390
00:19:19,519 --> 00:19:22,960
he is gonna get rewarded for not responding. And pretty

391
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,279
soon so now you see, we're gonna desensitize him. Instead

392
00:19:25,279 --> 00:19:27,680
of the sound being something super loud right away, you

393
00:19:27,759 --> 00:19:30,440
start where it's barely audible, and you play it a

394
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:32,599
little louder each training session. It might be every day,

395
00:19:32,599 --> 00:19:35,319
every other day, each time lot to reward, and you'll

396
00:19:35,319 --> 00:19:39,039
get to the point where he will actually start looking forward.

397
00:19:39,079 --> 00:19:41,680
You won't be running away hiding in fear, but he'll

398
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,119
hear that sound. He is, oh my god, I'm gonna

399
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:44,880
get a treat, And you get him a treat so

400
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:46,680
or a good pat on the head, whatever it is

401
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,279
you want to treat your dog with. So that's desensitizing

402
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:52,880
him and then counter conditioning. It's gonna take a few weeks,

403
00:19:53,039 --> 00:19:55,519
so start now. I understand we have a caller on

404
00:19:55,519 --> 00:19:55,839
the line.

405
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:57,240
Speaker 3: Caller, go ahead, Oh hi.

406
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,039
Speaker 5: There, I have a new puppy and I have a

407
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,599
question about preventing ear infections.

408
00:20:01,599 --> 00:20:02,400
Speaker 7: Do you have any chips?

409
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:02,960
Speaker 3: Sure?

410
00:20:03,400 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 2: First of all, most you know a lot of dogs.

411
00:20:05,839 --> 00:20:07,160
What kind of dog do you have? First of all,

412
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:10,880
he's at okay, so puggles. A good thing about puggles,

413
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:12,680
is there not one of those breeds that are gonna

414
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,240
grow a lot of hair in the ears. Just as

415
00:20:15,279 --> 00:20:18,160
I was plucking the ears today of a Schnauzer. And

416
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,079
you know, you have dogs like Maltese, and you have

417
00:20:20,119 --> 00:20:23,000
dogs like poodles and the beishons and the caton detuliers.

418
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,400
These dogs grow a lot of hair in the ears.

419
00:20:25,519 --> 00:20:27,960
So that's one way to prevent is to make sure

420
00:20:27,960 --> 00:20:30,119
that that the hair is plucked on a regular basis.

421
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,200
The best thing to do for a regular dog or

422
00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,759
a dog that doesn't have all this hair in the

423
00:20:34,759 --> 00:20:37,319
ears like a puggle, is to get them used to

424
00:20:37,839 --> 00:20:40,119
the process of ear cleaning. And the best thing to

425
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:42,960
do again, you have a puppy, make it fun. So

426
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:45,200
the first thing I like to do is just start

427
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,240
by messing with that little cute ear, okay, And when

428
00:20:48,279 --> 00:20:50,640
you start, you know, touching the ear, maybe sticking your

429
00:20:50,640 --> 00:20:52,920
pinky a little bit down inside the ear and go,

430
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:55,480
oh my god, you're so good, and give pets and

431
00:20:55,519 --> 00:20:57,480
maybe a little teeny reward if you'd like a little

432
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,160
food treat something like that, and do this every day.

433
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:03,720
Then maybe take a little Q tip all right, and

434
00:21:03,839 --> 00:21:06,200
just again instead of using the pinky, go down a

435
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:08,559
little bit like, oh god, hold a que tip about

436
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:10,880
where the top of the cotton swab is and put

437
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,279
that down in the ear. Oh my god, you're so good,

438
00:21:13,319 --> 00:21:15,759
you're so good, and again give a lot of praise.

439
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,240
Then what you can do is by yourself a benign

440
00:21:18,519 --> 00:21:21,640
basic ear cleaner and this is a liquid you available

441
00:21:21,640 --> 00:21:24,680
at your veterinarian, available at a pet store. And put

442
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,519
some of this ear cleaner down in the ear and

443
00:21:26,559 --> 00:21:28,240
it's kind of swishing around a little bit. You may

444
00:21:28,279 --> 00:21:30,079
need a groomer or your vet to show you the

445
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,720
first time, or one of the technicians at the vet hospital.

446
00:21:32,839 --> 00:21:34,680
And then you'll back off because he'll want to shake,

447
00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:37,160
all right, and then again clean up. We'll go in

448
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,960
just a little bit with a Q tip just to

449
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,200
the top of the cotton, swab itself and just clean

450
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:44,160
out the ear. The key is you want to get

451
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:49,519
the puppy used to the process before it becomes a necessity.

452
00:21:49,759 --> 00:21:52,640
So when you do it often they'll actually look forward

453
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,160
to it because they're getting rewarded, they get to spend

454
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:57,240
time with you. It doesn't hurt, and this is how

455
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,359
we prevent ear infections out. Another thing that's really good

456
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:04,240
about this, it's the same technique we use for trimming toenails,

457
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:07,920
brushing teeth. All of these things start now when they're young.

458
00:22:08,319 --> 00:22:10,640
Touch the toes. Maybe you can get a trimmer and

459
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,559
just barely cut anything is you're really nothing to cut, really,

460
00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:16,039
But it's the concept of getting them used to these

461
00:22:16,079 --> 00:22:19,400
basic grooming issues, these grooming things that you're going to

462
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,000
have to do as adult dogs. And you get up

463
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:23,759
to the point now where they like it. And the

464
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,599
same thing with the brush. I recommend it to taking

465
00:22:25,599 --> 00:22:27,839
a little bit of the the I Dentifrish, the toothpaste.

466
00:22:27,839 --> 00:22:30,440
It's usually a paltry flavored, non sudging. You put a

467
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,599
little bit on your finger, rub it inside the gums,

468
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,079
rub it on the teeth. Do this, you know, every day,

469
00:22:35,079 --> 00:22:37,359
every other day, lots of hugs and kisses, praise. Do

470
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:39,400
it before a walk, do it before a meal. Then

471
00:22:39,759 --> 00:22:41,440
what you do is going to replace your finger with

472
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,599
a little finger brush, that little rubber rush that comes

473
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:47,400
with a kit ultimately to the toothbrush. And these dogs

474
00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,480
will actually believe it or not look forward to it,

475
00:22:50,559 --> 00:22:53,960
because it's just part of their routine. They get the bonding,

476
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:56,920
they get your attention, they get a pat on the head,

477
00:22:57,079 --> 00:23:00,279
a hug, sometimes a little food reward, and they are

478
00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:03,440
gonna love having their teeth brushed, love having their toenails trimmed,

479
00:23:03,599 --> 00:23:06,279
love having their ears cleaned, and that's what it's all about.

480
00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,960
So have so much fun with your puggle. They are

481
00:23:09,079 --> 00:23:13,400
really really cute dogs. I say that pugs are one

482
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:16,039
of the happiest dogs on the planet. So many puggles,

483
00:23:16,039 --> 00:23:18,000
they just get that adorable. For those of you who

484
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,799
don't know, a puggle is a cross between a pug

485
00:23:20,839 --> 00:23:25,720
and a beagle and they are just adorable. So anyway,

486
00:23:25,839 --> 00:23:27,880
enjoy your little monster Nile or a female.

487
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:29,880
Speaker 5: He's a little boy's name mike Mikey.

488
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,160
Speaker 2: So get Mikey a kiss from me, Mikey. I'm sure

489
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:34,920
he's adorable. Or remember, you want to get Mikey fixed.

490
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:36,960
If he's not well, he's probably too young now, but

491
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:40,119
by here's just my recommendation, because you definitely want to

492
00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:43,119
get him fixed, and that is, wait until all his

493
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,119
adult teeth are in. It's usually around six months of age.

494
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,559
You do not want to do it before because often

495
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:52,079
with these smaller breeds they will end up having what

496
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,720
we call deciduous teeth. Those are the baby teeth that

497
00:23:54,759 --> 00:23:57,160
haven't fallen out on schedule as they're supposed to. We

498
00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,559
end up needing to pull those teeth, which obviously requires anesthesia,

499
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:02,480
and you don't want tonessitize the dog at four or

500
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,440
five months, and then again it's six months or seven

501
00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:06,759
months to pull baby teeth. So I wait until all

502
00:24:06,799 --> 00:24:08,480
the teeth are in. You'll know which teeth, if any

503
00:24:08,519 --> 00:24:10,960
need to come out, need to be pulled, and do

504
00:24:11,079 --> 00:24:13,480
that in the neuterrous bay, all at the same time.

505
00:24:13,519 --> 00:24:16,519
Speaker 3: All right, So enjoy, Mikey, thank you so much.

506
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:20,039
Speaker 2: You're very welcome. So we have see how easy and

507
00:24:20,079 --> 00:24:23,599
painless that was. Anyone out there listening that think of

508
00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:27,559
all this free advice you're gonna get. It's fantastic. So anyway,

509
00:24:27,599 --> 00:24:30,279
once again eight seven seven three eight five eight eight

510
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,880
A two we are nearing the end of our half hour.

511
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,720
It goes pretty quickly. So back to the fourth of July.

512
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:40,119
So download those tapes. You want to get a sound

513
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,000
effects tape, it'll be fireworks, and as they said these,

514
00:24:43,039 --> 00:24:45,599
most of these tapes also have things like loud trucks.

515
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,200
They have a thunder and lightning, any sound that your

516
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:52,680
dog usually freaks out over, engine sirens from fire engines

517
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,599
as well, all on these sound effects tapes. So whatever

518
00:24:55,640 --> 00:24:58,880
it is, you can go ahead and get these things downloaded,

519
00:24:59,039 --> 00:25:02,680
play the sound, do them slow baby steps, and then

520
00:25:02,799 --> 00:25:06,000
get to desensitize your pets and actually counter condition them

521
00:25:06,240 --> 00:25:08,519
to the point where they actually will look.

522
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 3: Forward to hearing the sounds.

523
00:25:11,119 --> 00:25:12,720
