THOSE JUMP SHOTS ARE NOT EASY TO
DO.
BEING A PET PARENT IS DEFINITELY
REWARDING, BUT IT COMES WITH ITS
STRUGGLES.
WITH SOME OF THE MOST COMMON
TROUBLES AND SOME SOLUTIONS IS
SOMEONE FROM OUR PET POSSE.
WE HAVE ANIMAL BEHAVIORIST WENDY
MAH ALONG WITH BRODY.
GOOD MORNING.
Kelly: AND BRODY PART OF
OUR PET POSSE.
HE'S THE CUTEST.
THANK YOU.
Kelly: WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALKING ABOUT QUESTIONS TA
PEOPLE HAVE ASKED AND NEED
ANSWERS TO.
FIRST ONE, AND THIS IS A
PROBLEM, MY DOG EATS HER POOP.
HOW CAN I MAKING HER STOP?
IT IS A COMMON QUESTION.
IT'S A NORMAL, NATURAL BEHAVIOR
THAT THEY DO.
WE DON'T CARE FOUR IT BECAUSE
NOT TO APPEALING.
AND WE DEFINITELY DON'T WANT TO
BE KISSED BY TEM -- THEM AFTER.
Kelly: NO.
THE SIMPLEST SOLUTION MIGHT
BE TO TALK TO THEIR
VETERINARIAN.
THEY HAVE A POWDER THAT THEY CAN
GIVER TO -- GIVE TO YOU.
AND YOU SPRING IT WILL ON THE
DOG'S 2350D AND FOOD.
HOWEVER, THEY DO HAVE TO EAT THE
POOP TO FIND OUT IT DOESN'T
TASTE SO GOOD.
AND IF THAT HELPS, GREAT.
SIMPLE SOLUTION.
IF NOT, PEOPLE HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S A LOT OF
REASONS FOR EATING THE POOP.
AND ONE COULD BE BOARD BOREDOM.
GET OUT WITH YOUR EXERCISE, -- WITH YOUR
DOG.
EXERCISE.
AND ALSO STIM LATELY THEIR
MINDS.
TEACH THEM SOMETHING NEW.
AND SO THEN NOW THEY'RE NOT
BORED.
THEY'RE NOT LOOKING FOR STUFF TO
DO.
Kelly: OKAY.
GREAT TIP.
NEXT QUESTION IS, WE JUST GOT A
NEW PUPPY AND HAVE A POOL.
DO WE HAVE ANYTHING TO WORRY
POOL?
DON'T ALL DOGS NATURALLY KNOW
HOW TO SWIM?
MOST DOGS DO.
MAJORITY OF BREEDS DO.
THE PROBLEM WITH NOT THEM
SWIMMING, PROBLEM IS LEARNING
HOW TO GET OUTS OF OUT OF THE POOL.
THAT'S WHAT DRAWNS DOG.
THEY PANIC.
PEOPLE WHO HAVE POOLS WHETHER
THEIR DOGS ARE PUPPY OR OLDER
DOGS SHOULD TAKE THE TIME TO
TEACH THEM WHERE THE EXIT IT.
WHAT I IEWSHESLY -- USUALLY DO
IS PUT THE DOG ON THE FIRST
STEP.
LET THEM KNOW WHILE IN THE
WATER, THERE'S SOMEWHERE THEY
CAN FIND SOMETHING SOLID UNDER
THEIR.
AND I'LL LET THEM POP OUT.
AND OVER TIME, I'LL HAVE THEM
COME FURTHER AND FURTHER AWAY
FROM THAT STEP SO THEY CAN SWIM
TO IT AND HOP OUT.
Kelly: THAT'S A GREAT TIP.
I HAD A GOLDEN RETRIEVER.
I THOUGHT GREAT SWIMMERS.
BUT DIDN'T KNOW.
AND THEY WOULD GO STRAIGHT TO
THE LEDGE.
EVEN THOUGH IT MAKES SENSE TO
US, THEY DON'T NATURALLY KNOW
THAT.
IF YOU TEACH THEM IN ONE
POOL, THEY BECOME POOL SAVVY.
YES, THEY WILL GO TO THAT WALL
THAT'S CLOSEST THING AND
STRUGGLE.
AND THEY'LL EXHAUST THEMSELVES.
AND THAT'S WHAT WILL DRAWN THEM.
Kelly: NEXT QUESTION IS,
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE BEFORE
TRAINING IS DONE WITH YOUR DOG
IN GENERAL TO HAVE NEW DOG IN
GENERAL.
YOU THINK I GET -- BASICALLY,
I THINK WHAT THEY'RE ASKING IS,
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO TRAIN
Kelly: I THINK SO.
IT'S A LIFE LONG PROCESS.
TRAINING IS NOT AN EVENT THAT
HAPPENS IN A DAY OR WEEK.
IT'S A PROCESS THAT HAPPENS OVER
TIME.
AS THE DOG MATURES, IT CHANGE.
YOU MIGHT HAVE TO WORK ON
SOMETHING ELSE.
TO IN THE FIRST COUPLE OF
IT'S A PROCESS.
HE'S STARTING TO MELLOW OUT.
IF I DON'T GET HIM OUT AND TEACH
HIM SOMETHING NEW, HE STARTS TO
GO STIR CRAZY HIMSELF.
Kelly: WHICH MAKES SENSE.
IS IT TOO EARLY TO BE TALKING
BOTTOM HOLIDAY SEASON?
NO.
ESPECIALLY FIREWORKS.
START NOW.
AUGUST, I HAVE PLENTY OF TIME.
NO, YOU DON'T.
YOU HAVE TO DO THIS GRADUALLY.
GET A CD, FIRECRACKERS,
FIREWORKS.
PUT THAT ON SOFT IN THE
BACKGROUND.
HAVE KNOW PLAYER PLOWING NICE,
SOFT MUSIC.
UP IT LOUDER.
OVER THE DAYS AND WEEKS, BRING
UP THE VOLUME OF THE
FIRECRACKERS AND FIREWORKS AND
BRING DOWN THE VOLUME OF THE
SOOTHING MUSICS.
