Drømmer hunde?

Bemærk: Sig tak til dig til Dr. Susan Wright for at dele hendes forståelse af hunde såvel som drømmer.

Vi har alle set vores hunde rykke, Yelp samt padle deres fødder, mens de sover. Vi har normalt en humør såvel som at forestille os, at de drømmer om at jage kaniner med markerne. Har hunde i sandhed drømme? Har de mareridt? såvel som hvis det er tilfældet, skal du vække dem?

Du er måske interesseret i at forstå, at din hunds sovemønstre ikke er meget anderledes end dine egne.

Vores hunde oplever to slags søvn, såvel som ingen tvivl om, at du allerede har hørt om dem: REM (Rapid Eye Movement) Sleep samt ikke-REM-søvn. Ikke-REM-søvn forekommer under en masse af din hunds søvntid. Dette er det stadie, hvor hans sind er afslappet, men hans krop har stadig muskelmasse tone.

REM Sleep er den dybe søvn, hvor der sker drøm. Selvom din kæledyrshund er dybt i søvn, viser undersøgelser af hjernebølger, at hans hjerne er lige så aktiv som når han er vågen.

Hans krop er meget sparket tilbage (næsten lammet) i REM -søvn for at forhindre ham i at gå i søvn eller på anden måde udføre sine drømme.

Hunde bruger kun ca. 10 procent af deres søvntid i REM -søvn, hvilket er cirka halvdelen af ​​den tid, som mennesker tilbringer i REM -søvn – men de sover også meget meget mere tid på at sove, så vi ender med at koster det nøjagtige samme beløb af Tid i Dream Land.

Nu tilbage til emnet drømme. Rem -søvnfasen er, når du ser din hunds øjenlåg flimrende, når hans øjne træder hurtigt frem såvel som tilbage.

Han kan ligeledes vige halen, træde fødderne såvel som knurr eller råbe i denne søvnfase. En masse dyrlæger er enige om, at det er overkommeligt at tro, at din kæledyrshund drømmer, mens han gør dette, da dette er den nøjagtige samme type aktivitet, der opstår, når folk drømmer.

Kan hunde have mareridt?

Det er ligeledes en retfærdig antagelse, at hvis din kæledyrshund kan drømme, er han ligeledes i stand til at have mareridt, især efter at have oplevet en kamp eller en anden skræmmende begivenhed. Hvis han er dybt i søvn, så godt som du bemærker, at hans øjne rykker, hvad skal du så gøre?

De fineste henstillinger er at forlade ham være. Vi foreslår ikke at prøve at vække ham! Han vil sandsynligvis blive forskrækket, når han bliver vågnet af REM -søvn såvel som May Snap på dig. Lad ham komme forsigtigt ud af drømmen såvel som ikke skynde sig at trøste ham. En hurtig betryggende Pat er alt, hvad han vil kræve for at erkende, at det hele bare var en drøm.

Dogssøvnforstyrrelser

Hunde kan ligeledes opleve af nøjagtige samme søvnforstyrrelser, der sker hos mennesker. De kan have narkolepsi, hvor de er for søvnige i løbet af dagen. Ligesom mennesker bliver behandlingen af ​​narkolepsi ramt såvel som miss. Dyrlæger har ikke været i stand til at opdage en pålidelig mulighed for problemet.

Der er ligeledes blevet dokumenteret situationer med hunde, der lider af søvnapnø. Bulldogs, mops såvel som andre korte næse racer er meget mere tilbøjelige til denne tilstand siden formen på deres ansigter. Fedme er ligeledes et fareaspekt for søvnapnø.

Ældre hunde har ofte nøjagtigt de samme søvnproblemer som ældre voksne. Demens, gigt såvel som andre aldersrelaterede sundheds- og velværeforhold kan forhindre din kæledyrshund i at få al den søvn, han har brug for. På den anden side kan en underaktiv thyroidea-kirtel forårsage din kæledyrshund til at sove så godt. Du kræver hjælp fra din dyrlæge til passende at håndtere disse lidelser.

Hvor meget søvn din kæledyrshund har brug for afhænger af hans alder, race, aktivitetsniveau såvel som endda hans ejer. Hvalpe kræver ca. 16 til 18 timers søvn om dagen (ligesom menneskelige babyer!).

En voksenhunds krav er højere end typiske, hvis hans dage er ekstremt aktive. Nogle gange får hunde bare ikke tilstrækkelig søvn, såvel som igen ligner dette os.

Hunger, en støjende sovende atmosfære såvel som et uroligt område at sove i, vil alle påvirke nøjagtigt, hvor meget søvn din kæledyrshund får. Men mange voksne hunde vil sove cirka 14 timer om dagen, hvis du opstår alle bitdap.

Hvor meget sover din hvalp, såvel som du bemærker ham, der drømmer?

Daisy tager et spin i Cat Crinkle Tunnel

Jeg fik denne Crinkle Cat Tunnel til at teste ud. Jeg må indrømme, at det først ikke så ud som et meget sjovt legetøj på grund af det var kun et par centimeter langt – jeg kunne løbe gennem denne tunnel på mindre end et sekund. Men så indså jeg, at hvis du løsner siderne, udvides det rigtigt stort!

Jeg passede perfekt inde i tunnelen, og jeg tænkte, at jeg kunne bruge dette som mit klubhus, der kun var piger. Det er åbenlyst, at denne var designet til mig, fordi den matcher min pelse perfekt. Det har også dette uhyggelige fjerlegetøj at lege med, hvis jeg keder mig. Men noget giver mig en dårlig følelse …

Jeg vidste det! Harleymaniac er ankommet for at ødelægge mine gode tider! God ting der er flere indbyggede flugtluge i denne tunnel.

Harley, få din egen tunnel. Denne er kun til piger. Desuden ville zebra-trykket matche din pelse bedre.

Jeg er bange for, at jeg bliver nødt til at opgive tunnelen for nu. Jeg vender tilbage, når det er mindre overfyldt her. (Harley, det er et stærkt tip for dig at forlade).

Katlegetøj

Sådan går du din katte i snor

Ja, ikke kun er min kitty ved navn Freako, men han går i snor!

Det var virkelig en naturlig progression fra hans levetid med “træning”. Den dag, jeg valgte ham, blev han forsynet til mig i en kasse. Jeg tog ham straks ud og holdt ham til køreturen hjem.

Aldrig at være en til at sætte katte i et bur, troede jeg, at de kunne opføre sig, hvis de gav chancen.

Sikkert nok, til ture til groomer’s, dyrlæge eller andre steder, var han beliggende komfortabelt i bagsædet.

Vi var endda i et uheld, da – nogen ramte fronten af ​​mine biler og lastbil fra siden.

Han kiggede op som for at oplyse ”hvad der bare vågnede mig” såvel som derefter satte hovedet tilbage. Derudover tog han turen til østkysten fra Californien såvel som tilbage, da jeg gik på college såvel som derefter flyttede tilbage til Los Angeles.

Snoren skete, da jeg tog ham over hele landet. Jeg troede, det ville være et meget bedre koncept for stop at lade ham strække benene i stedet for bare at blive bragt ud af bilen. Han opdagede, at snoret var temmelig mærkeligt i starten, hidt ned tæt på jorden såvel som derefter rullede over.

Dette skete de allerførste par gange, jeg satte den på, så godt som vi gik på “trækker” snarere end gåture. Freako har altid været en klog fyr, så han fangede det, hvis han ville gå ud og spise græs, var dette hans billet. Han har gået i snor lige siden!

Min nyere reddet Kitty, Inso (som løst svarer til “Freako” på fransk), har opdaget snorregler for nylig. Han var temmelig dårlig i starten, rullede rundt såvel som at prøve at spise snor.

Han er lidt mere, godt, tæt end freako så godt som det har taget ham lidt for at finde ud af, at han kommer ud og spiser græs, hvis han tager snor.

Freako (russisk blå) såvel som inso (orange tabby) er begge mandlige, kastrerede, indendørs killinger. Freako opdagede at gå i snor, da han var omkring 7 år (han er 16 nu).

Han var helt biler og lastbiltrænet såvel som ligeledes vant til at blive bragt ind i dyrlægen osv. Samt at holde mig op, indtil han gik ind. Inso er næsten 3 såvel som lidt mere af en områdekadet end freako dog I sidste ende fanget videre i snor. I begge tilfælde var tålmodighed nøglen.

Dette er noget, jeg virkelig ønskede for dem så godt som de begge virkelig kan lide det nu. Faktisk står INSO ved døren nogle gange såvel som skrig, som er hans metode til at fortælle mig, at det er tid til at tage på snor. Sletterne er sele-typen, der markedsføres for ildere.

Jeg startede med reb-typen for freako for alle disse år siden, men den bredere sele i ilderen ser mere behageligt ud for mig.

Når du prøver at få din katte til at gå i snor – erkend, at de ikke kan lide dig, allerførste gang du prøver det.

Du skal give dem en godbid eller en vis belønning bagefter for at de kan varme så meget som ideen. Jeg er ikke helt sikker på, hvor godt du ville være i stand til at træne en udenfor kitty til at gøre dette, men alt er muligt med tålmodighed såvel som kærlighed.

Oh – as well as please, to paraphrase Bob Barker, don’t fail to remember to spay as well as neuter your buddy animals!

Gå din hund 100 miles (dag 28)

Vi måtte bare gå en tur over den primære Avenue Bridge, der forbinder Fargo, N.D., samt Moorhead, Minn. I morges. Så godt som vi ikke var de eneste idioter, der tog billeder af oversvømmelsen i det solrige vejr. Bare endnu en gåtur i – ja, du kan ikke se Woodlawn Park mere. Ace ville sandsynligvis have sprunget ind for at svømme, hvis jeg havde lader ham.

Så meget for at gå min hund 100 miles denne måned. Marts [viste sig at være] en dårlig måned for denne udfordring! Jeg vil alligevel holde styr på vores miles i løbet af de næste par dage såvel som derefter skyde i 100 miles i april. Jeg håber, du vil slutte sig til mig!

Fargo pet dog park meet-up for big breeds

gigantic breeds are commonly outnumbered by smaller dogs at the pet dog park. nearly always gentle, these powerful breeds still make the owners of smaller dogs nervous. I’ve experienced it a lot more than when – my good friend as well as I show up with my mutt as well as her dane as well as the location clears out. Our dogs stand there checking out each other like, “Well, we could’ve just done this at home. ”

All dogs requirement socialization, as well as they like being around dogs of all kinds. big breeds that are commonly isolated or unwelcomed requirement the socialization a lot more than ever.

If you’re the owner of a excellent dane, Saint Bernard or Newfoundland in the Fargo area, you’re going to want to inspect this out:

Big Paws in the Park is having its very first Fargo pet dog park meet-up at 2 p.m. Saturday, may 2 at the village West pet dog Park (45th street as well as Ninth Ave. S.). huge Paws in the Park is precisely what it seems like. It’s a friendly meet-up for huge dogs as well as their owners. regrettably I won’t be able to go to Saturday’s event, however Ace as well as I will be at the next one if we can.

After all, dogs of all sizes as well as their owners are welcome.

“We motivate everybody to find out no matter what breed of pet dog they have,” stated Nykky Rehovsky, the organizer behind huge Paws in the Park. “Anyone as well as everybody is invited.”

Big Paws in the Park began in Bismarck, N.D.

“Bismarck’s meet-ups started as an ‘oops’ of excellent dane owners inadvertently showing up at the pet dog park at the exact same time,” stated Nykky, who has a number of gigantic dogs herself.

The pet dog owners just recently made a decision to make the group official, she said. five or six excellent danes, an English mastiff, a newfoundland as well as a few others commonly satisfy at the Bismarck park.

The agenda?

Spil!

The pet dog owners likewise assist each other out with training tips, feeding ideas as well as other pet dog information, Nykky said. however just like any type of trip to the pet dog park, it’s all about the dogs as well as enjoying them play while the owners talk about dogs.

Not only does Nykky organize huge Paws in the Park, however she likewise runs Bentley’s Buds excellent Dane as well as gigantic Breed Rescue. The rescue is devoted to saving as well as re-homing gigantic breeds such as Saint Bernards as well as excellent danes.

Volunteers with Bentley’s Buds excellent Dane as well as gigantic Breed Rescue plan on going to the event with a few of its additional big dogs currently up for adoption.

“As long as we have social, loving dogs in our rescue that requirement homes, they will be going to the pet dog park,” Nykky said.

The dogs up for adoption will get a possibility to interact socially with people as well as dogs in addition to satisfy prospective families. a few of the Bentley’s Buds dogs offered for adoption include Athena the excellent dane, popular the coonhound mix, Zeke the excellent dane as well as Gabby the excellent Pyrenees (pictured, right).

She stated she admires the breed’s capability to pay interest to people’s emotions as well as the method excellent danes cuddle as well as like even the cruelest people.

“The other gigantic breeds are much the same, as well as people commonly ignore them since of their size,” Nykky said.

Understanding gigantic breeds

The size of a big pet dog can definitely be threatening.

In the wrong hands, a pet dog weighing a lot more than 100 pounds can set a poor example for its breed, Nykky said. however danes as well as other gigantic breeds are natural lovers, as well as they are commonly couch potatoes!

To save a pound dog

The black dogs get to me first.

Their shiny coats as well as ghostly eyes show back at the camera’s flash. Their pictures never do them justice.

And then it’s the puppies that get to me – so young as well as already so close to death.

And after that it’s every dog that resembles any type of dog I’ve ever liked – a spaniel type, a retriever type, a pitbull.

It’s all the pound dogs.

And I wonder, might I save just one? might I take a possibility on a dog I don’t know?

What do I do when I want to save them all however can’t precisely embrace or foster?

Do I look away? try to forget?

Or do I share their photos, share their links, hoping they’ll get noticed among lots of others. Dag efter dag.

Why promote these dogs when there are dozens, hundreds more to come? as well as hundreds more after that?

Do I donate money? Do I offer to transport? Do I beg?

Jeg ved ikke.

I feel powerless sometimes, the cycle endless.

Rescue work can be addicting, as many of you know, since there are always more dogs.

So what do I do?

I step back. I step away from the “URGENT!” since it’s always urgent.

I pull myself together, since I can’t potentially save every dog.

And then I do one thing. One little thing.

I make one phone call. Or send one email. Or donate $25. as well as I hope many, many others do the same.

Perhaps you might do one thing today as well.

For one dog or one feline in need.

In North Dakota or in your own specify or country.

One animal, anywhere.

The pitbull as well as the pointer you see pictured are impounded at the Dickinson, N.D., pound as of 9:30 a.m. Feb. 8. According to the pound, they are both offered for rescue or adoption as well as might ultimately be killed.

Wouldn’t it be nice if somebody might take five minutes to bring these dogs outside to get some decent photos? Is that asking as well much?

Bare en tur med vores hunde

Josh såvel som jeg rejste sig før lys på søndag såvel som vandrede 11 miles med vores 7-årige labområde.

Det var givende, efter at have gået fire timer, at være hjemme kl. 8:30 såvel som at spise bacon såvel som æg på terrassen omkring det tidspunkt, hvor mange mennesker lige stod op.

Nogle mennesker er måske bekymrede 11 miles ville være for langt for et laboratorium Aces alder. Han viste ingen tegn på at være træt. Han trak med, et skridt foran normalt, der kiggede på mig – ”Dette er en episk gåtur, er det ikke? Åh dette er så sjovt! ”

Hans rå fødevarediæt har gjort en fantastisk forskel i hans energi. Når han var hjemme, var han fin lounging rundt, men ligeledes fint at spille såvel som at flytte. Han syntes ikke stiv eller øm. Jeg ville ønske jeg kunne sige det samme.

Dette er hvad jeg har brug for fra min hund. Hans iver efter eventyr. Det er sandsynligvis også en af de ting, han har brug for fra mig.

Will a Thundershirt assist My Dog?

If your canine is frightened of fireworks or thunder, you’ve most likely tried the Thundershirt or had somebody suggest it.

You’ve most likely likewise heard someone claim the Thundershirt resolved all her dog’s issues like it’s some kind of miracle.

“I put the Thundershirt on her, as well as she calmed down immediately,” people say.

OKAY …

That’s excellent it works so well for specific dogs.

Others … not so much!

The Thundershirt seemingly does nothing for some dogs, leaving the owners feeling like they’ve squandered $40 as well as that the Thundershirt doesn’t truly work.

You can checked out some Thundershirt evaluations right here (positive as well as negative).

What I believe about the Thundershirt

The Thundershirt is not a quick fix. There’s seldom such a thing in the dog-training world.

I have never seen a canine completely transformed by using one. However, the Thundershirt can be a excellent tool in addition to other training tools as well as techniques such as desensitization, positive reinforcement, lots of exercise, etc.

If you’ve tried the Thundershirt with your dog, please share your thoughts as well as experiences in the comments. I’m going to review some suggestions that can ideally assist canine owners make the most out of a Thundershirt.

Also see my post, Does the Thundershirt truly work?

Tips on exactly how to utilize a Thundershirt for dogs:

1. slowly get your canine utilized to using clothing.

My black Labrador mix Ace hates using clothes.

If I put a canine coat on him, he gets tense as well as even trembles. Ridiculous, I know. however remember, using a coat is not natural for a dog, as well as having something put over them makes some dogs feel susceptible or submissive. This is the situation with my dog.

Thankfully, Ace is not truly frightened of much in life, so we have no requirement for a Thundershirt.

If you’re believing of utilizing one for your dog, you’ll want to slowly introduce the Thundershirt in a positive way, particularly if she’s not utilized to using a coat or vest.

Here are some tips:

Set the Thundershirt on the ground for at least a half-hour so your canine can get utilized to it. provide her treats or play around it.

Gently location the Thundershirt over your canine as well as provide her much more treats.

Put the Thundershirt on her randomly for the things she loves like mealtimes or walks. Take it off when those activities end.

Don’t put the Thundershirt on firmly at first. It’s implied to be used snug, however no requirement to tighten it at first.

So, you’re not even utilizing the Thundershirt during storms or fireworks for now. If you only bring it out during those “scary” times, you may cause a poor association.

2. utilize other training methods together with the Thundershirt.

When you begin utilizing the Thundershirt during storms or fireworks, you ought to very first come up with some kind of training plan for assisting your canine conquer her fears.

For eksempel:

Begin a desensitization plan. I understand this is simpler stated than done, however one choice is to play thunderstorm videos at a low level while providing your canine treats as well as slowly boost the volume over time.

Lots of exercise every single day. This is no simple solution, however in general the less pent-up energy an anxious canine has, the better.

Provide a safe, peaceful location for your canine to “hide” during storms or fireworks with lots of “white noise” to block out the sounds.

See my posts:

– How to assist a canine that’s frightened of thunderstorms– How to assist a canine that’s frightened of fireworks

3. integrate the Thundershirt with other tools

The Thundershirt is just one tool, as well as it can work much much better when integrated with other products.

Some examples that might assist include:

Providing your canine with a Kong toy or other treat-dispensing toy full of jerky or peanut butter

Natural calming products such as Canine Calm or Bach’s Rescue Remedy

Dog-appeasing pheromone diffusers

Benadryl, which can assist calm some dogs

In extreme cases, prescription medications

So, it’s unlikely you can just slap a Thundershirt on your canine as well as presume it will resolve all your problems. This does seem to work for a little portion of dogs, however not many.

I’m curious what your experience has been with the Thundershirt as well as what other tools or training methods you utilized with it.

Let me understand in the comments.

Did the Thundershirt assist your dog?*Denne udgivelse inkluderer tilknyttede links.

Does my canine miss me?

I didn’t see my mutt Ace for much more than two weeks while I traveled across North Dakota, Montana, Idaho, Washington, Oregon as well as California last month. Ace got to stay with my parents in Wisconsin.

I missed Ace terribly. however did he miss me? Nix.

One error people make is to project human emotions to their dogs. It’s simple to do. I admit it made me feel much better to believe Ace as well as my cats missed me. In reality, they probably forgot I left. someone else was feeding them, playing with them as well as giving them affection. That’s about all they care about. It’s part of being an animal as well as living in the moment.

When I drove away from my parents’ home without Ace last month, he paced as well as viewed me intently. He was anxious when he realized I was leaving him behind since his typical routine is to be with me.

But the second my vehicle was out of sight, Ace instantly moved on. instead of pining over me, he grabbed his tennis sphere as well as followed my mother as well as her dogs around. Whether or not I was coming back was not really an problem for Ace. When I lastly did return, he was happy. however he would’ve been pleased to see anyone, particularly someone holding a tennis ball.

When I went to get Ace, he was pleased to see me just since I was there, not since I’d been gone a long time. when he saw me, he forgot I had been gone in the very first place. He was like, “Oh, hey! Didn’t see ya there!”

Dogs react to our emotions

If I were to walk out as well as get the mail as well as come back acting like I hadn’t seen my canine in two weeks, he would greet me with matching energy.

If you don’t understand what I mean, provide it a try.

Walk to the end of your driveway without your dog. then go back inside, call out “Ace! I haven’t seen you forever, buddy!” as well as get down on your hands as well as knees. Your canine will use this chance to soak up some additional interest by rolling on the ground in front of you, licking you or at least wagging his tail.

It’s not that your canine is faking anything. It’s just that he really picks up on your energy. That’s why people love dogs!

You might likewise try the same experiment, only this time walk through the door as well as totally disregard your dog. Don’t speak with him. Don’t touch him. Don’t even look in his direction. You will get a very different reaction than the very first time you walked through the door.

If you want to instruct your canine to be calm when people visit, the very first step is to stop training him to act so thrilled each time you come home! It’s unfair to expect him to act one way when you come house as well as one more way when guests visit.

A dog’s idea of time

Ace had no concept I’d been gone for two weeks.

One of the reasons I’m able to leave my canine when I travel is since I understand he has a fantastic time when I’m gone. If he thought about me at all, he wasn’t thinking about why I left, as well as he certainly had no idea of exactly how long I’d been gone. Instead, he was thinking about his food, his toys, smelling the Wisconsin breeze as well as complying with my mom’s dogs around. I’m convinced he did not think about me at all.

Dogs do not worry about the past or the future. They make the best out of their present situations. It’s the reason why dogs can adapt to new homes or life in a shelter.

Ace adapted just fine when I adopted him from his previous owner. I like to think there’s something special about me, however Ace would adapt just fine to a third or a fourth home. As far as Ace is concerned, anybody prepared to throw a tennis sphere might offer him a pretty great home.

My canine is mad at me for leaving

I do a great deal of pet sitting in Solana Beach, as well as I likewise worked at a boarding kennel for years. through these jobs I’ve dealt with canine owners of all kinds. numerous canine owners don’t understand their dogs as well as want to believe their dogs are pining over them the whole time they’re gone.

The dogs I take care of are always, always having a fantastic time without their owners. many dogs are going to have a fantastic time with someone prepared to walk them, run them, play with them, pet them as well as feed them. It’s very basic.

Whenever Ace has stayed with anybody new or at a boarding kennel, he comes house exhausted from the additional mental as well as physical stimulation. He is somewhat introverted like me as well as needs to “recharge” after being around new people or new places. He will sleep for a great 36 hours when he comes home. The much more exhausted he is, the much more fun I understand he had.

It’s as though Ace is thinking, “Well, there’s nothing going on here, time to catch up on some søvn. ”

Denne sløvhuliske vaner kan få hundeejere til at tro, at deres hunde holder nag mod dem for at forlade. Dette er slet ikke sandt. En hunde er ikke i stand til at holde et nag, da det ville omfatte at holde på fortiden. Hvis din hunde handler på en anden måde, når du bringer ham hjem, er det mange sandsynlige, da han er træt.

Jeg forstår, at når min hunde kommer hus fra en dyre-sitters hjem eller en kennel, er han bare ved at indhente noget godt behov for hvile. Han er ikke syg eller deprimeret, så godt som han ikke har nogen dårlige følelser over for mig for at forlade ham.

Jeg er udmattet efter en flugt eller en dag med vanskeligt arbejde, såvel som er min hund. Det er så let som det.

På hvilke måder humaniserer du utilsigtet din hund? Præcis hvordan handler din hund, når du kommer hjem?
