When your puppy lowers her front end like she's bowing that she wants you to play? It's called a "play bow", she's inviting you to play with her. That's how her mother and littermates would begin to play with each other. You can do the same thing back to her by getting on your hands and knees and lowering your chest and arms onto the floor.
Some people believe that dogs eat grass to help them throw up?
It's not true, dogs eat grass because they like it! They also like tomatoes, beans, carrots, apples, etc. Most dogs have no trouble throwing up if something has upset their stomach.
That cat litter is like candy to a puppy/dog. Cats do not digest all the food they eat so the puppy can smell partially digested food - ahh, something new!
Your puppy has its own unique smell. That's why two dogs will sniff each other, its to get to know one another. They will urinate where another dog already has to leave their own "calling card". The smell from the urine tells them a lot about the other dog, if it was male, female, pregnant, sick, healthy, if it was young or old. Amazing!
Offering ice cubes is a good way to give your puppy a drink. When travelling or at night when you don't want the puppy to have a lot of water but she seems thirsty its a good way for her to have a little bit. Plus they like playing with them!
The dog that is known to have lived the longest lived to be 29 years old!
Why your dog drinks out of the toilet? Because she wants a drink! She doesn't know its a toilet, and the water in there is fresh and clean.
A puppy that is one year old is the same as a human that is 16 years old. A two year old puppy is the same as a 24 year old, a three year old puppy is like a 30 year old human and then add four years for every human year after that.
That if you miss your puppy's signal to go outside and he has an accident in the house that the best thing you should do is roll up a newspaper and - hit yourself! If you can't supervise him and pay attention to him he should be in his crate or blocked off area.
