Hey /ck/ can you give me some dog recipes?>Pic related is pickled eggs I give to my dog.
>>5165536Go to a Korean forum for that
>>5165536Simmer carrots in bone broth, freeze, then give to dog. If you ever make cheese unsalted curd is a godly dog treat. Raise a cow and give them its flesh.
I cannot own a dog right now due to my job.I'd like to learn dog training, specifically how to handle guard dogs or using scent hounds for tracking and such.Can you work properly with them for those purposes if you aren't their owner and you don't live with them?
Hanging out with momma dog, it's dinner time. They're getting their first worming in a few. Border collies, five merles, one black and white.
>>5165536The eggs are in boiled radish and carrot brine. Dogs love the fart flavor of boil radish and the they like carrots.I'm thinking of using quail eggs an anis seed next time. Less sodium, and anis seed is dog catnip. >>5165538I'm trying to feed my dog or eat it. >>5165543Thank you stranger. <3
>>5165632You're welcome. Another fun one is to take sweet potato, cut it into strips and dehydrate it in the oven.

>>5165631Wow. That's amazing. What are your plans for the pups?

>>5165869I love border collies :D could I get a photo of the black and white puppy?
Why do only Chow Chows and Shar-Pei have dark tongues naturally? Shouldn't it be evolutionary beneficial for dogs, considering how much they pant (which leads to their tongues being exposed to UV radiation)?
>>5166317I don't know if you're joking but do you think there's enough evolutionary pressure on dogs to develop dark tongues?
what do you think dogs think about all day
>>5166211He's pretty shy. My first BC was a black and white named Cooper so I've been calling him JC for Junior Cooper, and trying to inundate him with deus ex one liners.The most spunky is one of the red merles. He's fat because he will shove the others out of the way to get at a tit, and he screams loudly if you bother him or interrupt him. He's such a bastard at two and a half weeks old, I love it. BCs have such strong personalities. The sire of this litter is super chill and cuddly and the bitch is... kind of a bitch, but also super cuddly when she isn't being demanding. I can't wait to see how they develop- they're already starting to show bits and pieces. The female blue merle is by far the most curious, the black and white likes to be held the most, the tricolor is kind of passive, and fatty is an asshole.
>>5165332Did I kill my dog?I had to put my dog down last week due to severe kidney disease. I googled what causes the disease and one of the causes was exposure to chemicals such as floor cleaner. I am often washing my floors and I tried to keep my dog away when the floors are wet but he often manages to get onto them and then would jump up onto a chair and start licking his paws, and I only notice when it's too late.
when
>>5166526How old were they? Tons of things cause dog kidney failure.
>>5166584It was probably age. MY dog is on its way out because she has a soggy artery. I'm just making her remaining years the best possible with whatever the meds can do..
>>5166584He was 15. Two particular causes popped out to me, the floor cleaner I mentioned and an infection via tooth decay, which can also be my fault because I didn't brush his teeth often enough.I'm basically blaming myself for my dog's death.
>>5166655I mean everything has to die someday, if they don't die of one thing it's another. And sometimes organs just go bad for no discernible reason. I wouldn't try so hard to pinpoint a specific cause man, it's probably not your fault at all, sometimes stuff just happens and there's nothing we can do about it.
>>5166655Bro, he was 15.Kidney disease is apparently the #2 killer of dogs anyway and most people don't even catch it before it can be somewhat mitigated. Even if you do it normally just means delaying the inevitable a year or two. It could have been anything or nothing.
>>5166661>>5166721Yeah, I still feel absolutely terrible and guilty, but thanks.

My dog killed a rat. She even let it go and came in when I told her to. I am very proud of her.>>5167784Petting releases dog particles into the air which are absorbed in the nasal cavity and travel directly to the brain where they interact with the limbic system
Is this dog creepy or cute /an/?
>>5167902Very very cute. Sanpaku eyes dont count if dog.
Happy puppies doing happy puppy things as we begin weaning. Soaked kibble in milk replacer. I have to leave a lot because mama dog comes in and cleans the plate when she comes back from taking a break.The pups will be 4 weeks old on friday and are doing great. Weaning has gone excellently over the past several days. The mother still nurses but the pups are much less demanding and took to the moist kibble and chopped up canned puppy food immediately.
>>5168200Did you try dog milk?
>>5168205Well, yeah, dog milk replacer. She's still nursing fine, but there is no reason not to start transitioning them to normal puppy food. Soaking kibble makes it easier for them and they're also learning to lap up fluids. That said, they're pretty sharp. They figured it out right away.
>>5168221No like taste it yourself.
>>5168231Hot.
>>5168200my dog looks like this but bigger
>>5168367Well it would be warm yeah, but the taste is more interesting than the temperature.
Is it bad to raise cats and dogs together?
>>5168615Yea
>>5168615Nah
>>5168615Objectively, yes - but it depends on the cat and dog. If you have a skittish cat that bolts when seeing a dog instead of standing its ground and a dog with a high prey drive, life will be bad for both of them and it only takes a second for a dog to break a cat's neck.It's easier with a puppy but you basically have to traumatize the puppy by letting your cat scratch the shit out of them so they learn not to mess with the cat. And it's easier with dogs that are of a gentle, less predatory nature, like labs and beagles.
>>5168651I heard maine coons are kinda doglike already
When my dog wants something she honks.
>>5168887I love ACDs so much. Don't know if I could handle owning one, but I'd really like to spend a few weeks with one again.
How bad is for a dog to be eating cat food?
>>5168651Anya is 28% lab and beagle. Yet she has 5 pelts to her name.
Cozy spot
>>5168615Yes. It's unnatural. It only sort of works with an unnatural dog and an unnatural cat.The smarter, more natural dogs like huskies can't even be bullied into thinking the cat is a peer because they can clearly see they're weak, small, and non-canine. I have seen a husky on the run encounter a stubborn cat that thought it could stand its ground. The husky just wave dashed to the side and then rocketed forward nab the cat like it was playing an action JRPG.>CRITICAL!>+100EXPYou could almost hear the japanese yelling and almost see the light trail effects.But if you got a very unnatural dog like a lazy, drooling monster and an unnatural retarded cat like a persian or a ragdoll it could work.But then your dog would be kind of gross and your cat would be extra retarded.
>>5166541I stopped actively seeking out online puppy groups but still get inundated with suggested posts from every platform and they're such depressing places. They're mostly middle-aged women and alpha bros who all want to argue in their echo chambers about how they know the one and only correct way to raise a dog while lamenting that they're miserable because none of it is working.>My 12 week old puppy is too mouthy!>My 12 week old puppy keeps having accidents inside the house!>My 15 week old puppy keeps attacking me! I randomly flip her on her back and pin her down to establish dominance throughout the day but she won't submit, she just freaks out and starts biting!!!!!>You NEED to keep a dog in a cage it can barely turn around in at every moment you aren't actively engaging with it.>Withhold water after 5pm so they won't pee by accident.>Withhold food so they're always hungry and value treats more.>Never use puppy pads, you literally can not ever stop using them it will NOT work.>A dog should be so terrified of you that they never react to anything!!!I'm still not convinced that this little shit is some kind of messianic perfect dog of utmost virtue. He just cold-turkey aged out of puppy behaviours at the appropriate weeks/months. He's not perfect, but he's not a destructive, aggressive, greedy little monster like these places all make out he should be.
>>5168615I've never had a problem with working types or "lap dogs" like Maltese, Shih Tzu, Pug, etc bonding with family cats. I wouldn't try to put a Terrier or Greyhound or something with a cat 'just in case' because their entire schtick is a high prey drive for small, fast moving animals, but I've also literally never known a dog that was raised from a young age around cats to suddenly freak out and attack cats.>>5168887His thing at the moment is getting too excited when guests play with him and trying to hump after a while.>he's anxious!>he's going to dig out to find females!>don't you worry he'll rape the cats?! (?????)He's 11 months old. He's a horny little teenager. I'm pretty sure he'll just outgrow this one in a few more months, too.

>>5170006Everyone is too busy being outside with their dog to post dog pics online. Thankfully I found a brief respite to share this cute pic of my dog. This dude weighs 135lbs and is nearly 6 feet tall on his hindlegs.
My jeet neighbours threw a tinfoil ball into my backyard where my dog was chewing on it. What do?
>>5170085Did your dog swallow it? If not I wouldn't worry that much about it unless it's an ongoing thing. Maybe monitor the dog for signs of poisoning from garlic or whatever if there's food residue on it but I doubt the small bit they'd get from that exposure would hurt them that much.Long term, if it's practical maybe see if you can get a camera pointing in that direction, if you can record them doing it again you can probably report them to authorities and get them fined or something. Hard to do much now when it's just your word against theirs.
>>5170085Dog poo in bag, light it on fire then ring his door bell
>>5170095He'd probably eat it
Sometimes I like to lightly bite my dog. Especially when I'm feeling her meaty legs, when I see her muscles bulge, or feel the give of her neck scruff in my hands. I chew the tips of her nails, I feel the texture of her fur on my tongue, I leave my saliva on her muzzle, and I go in for a big soft chomp of her hamstrings or biceps. One day very very far away from now, when she has passed I actually do want to swallow a chunk. Is this wrong?
>>5170294The thought isn't necessarily wrong. Acting on it is legitimately insane psycho tier behavior. Raise a meat rabbit or a few chickens and kill/eat those. It will taste better than a 10+ year old dog and you won't be cutting chunks of flesh out of your just deceased best friend.
>>5170294Logically I imagine 10+ year old dog does not taste very good even old chickens are unpleasant to eat.Emotionally I could not imagine eating a piece of my recently deceased dog.
>>5170303>>5170304Would he really be deceased though if he's living on inside you?
>>5170309You need to slice the jugular after brain death and before the heart stops beating and then hang them upside down so all the blood drains out of their or the meat will be terrible.

This is unimportant but my dog understands animals and "humans" or "dogs". I realize I may be anthropomorphizing her, but she tilts her head away when I ask her if she's a squirrel, deer, coyote, but when I ask her are you a dog, are you a human she gets excited and licks my hand. She also gets frustrated when I keep asking if she's something else. She definitely in other contexts will look for an animal I talk about or get more excited if I mention certain animals, as well. (she's a doodle mix, large/standard size)
>>5170506Yes dogs are smart enough to understand a limited number of words and phrases. Especially poodle types.
RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW
>>5170561Satanic post
Is it bad to keep a husky if you live somewhere with hot summers? I've seen differing opinions from some saying it's basically animal abuse and others saying it's ok if you manage it carefully
>>5170574Myth. A standard husky coat (not a wooly) is literally the default for wild canids and is the closest thing nature produced to an "all weather" coat for them. This biologically consists of longer guard hairs that protect against water, wind, dirt, sun, plant seeds like burrs, and then there is another wooly undercoat close to the skin that insultes their own warmth during winter but ALSO keeps their skin away from heat and thus cooler. But you see, DOGS IN GENERAL struggle in hotter climates due to other factors - like only sweating through paw pads (which have to contact scorching asphalt on hot days), and relying on panting to cool down, which simply doesn't work effectively once the ambient temperature increases past a certain point. So basically, if someone is calling you a dog abuser for walking a husky on a hot day, let them know that if it's dog abuse for a husky, it's dog abuse for any dog.
>>5170576Huh, interesting, thanks for the info!
>>5170576No, your husky loona loki is not a wolf. Their coat blows are off schedule and the coats are the wrong thickness. You cant have a husky in arizona.
What is this? Is it cancer? Im taking her to the vet for a scheduled appointment soon but is it an emergency? they previously told me it's just a collection of fat but it looks like it got bigger.
>>5170655Not a vet, but when I had a dog as a kid, as she got older, she got lumps like this. If they are hindering movement or causing distress, they can be removed, otherwise they are just an "old dog" thing.
>>5170704She's 10 so it might just be that she doesn't seem to be in pain if I touch it.

i love dogs so much but especially beagles, they are so damn cute and i hate that they are used for experiments. sucks i will never get to own a dog but if i could i would get a beagle or a greyhound.
do dogs enjoy barking? do you think you should let them bark? my dog likes to jump around and bark at things he hears, and hes wagging his tail, then when i make him stop he sort of seems a bit unhappy like he just sits there quietly listening like a sheep dog watching his flock
>>5171313You ever hear about turnspit dogs? I feel kinda bad they went extinct just because they weren't needed to turn the thingy anymore
>>5171316Depends. Tail wagging can be from general excitement as well.
I will never get another dog that doesn't have a normal dog tail again.
>>5171408did yours have a docked/corkscrew tail or what?
when I walk my dog (on leash) he gets aggressive towards other intact males quite often. He'll lunge and bark and shit, at least the fucker is small enough that I can just lift him and take him away. It's fucking annoying though. Anyone have any tips, something that doesn't boil down to>watch a dog from 3 miles away and reward your dog for disengaging, then try 2.9999 miles then 2.9998 miles etc.?As I've seen zero improvement doing that cumbersome time-wasting nonsense. He's a stubborn fucking wiener dog.This shit doesn't work unless I hold a grilled fucking salmon in front of him (in theory, obviously I don't do that), which he gobbles up then proceeds to obsessively stare at the enemy dog. I try to avoid other people walking dogs, but that's not always feasible e.g. when someone comes walking around the corner you're approaching. As a test I've had him chemically castrated hoping it improves, but don't see any change yet.I fear it's on-leash anxiety. I've never seen him be aggressive off-leash. He doesn't even defend himself when he's done playing, he just runs way and hopes the other dog leave him alone.

Don't use /an/ so thought I'd ask in the general. Got three problem dogs. Sort of needed by owners who can't look after them, un-homable.1. Malamut, albino, schizophrenic, highly aggressive, erratic behaviour, currently perma-caged. Owner thinks its valuable but can't sell it because it's visible deranged and a total liability. Inbred. If it were my dog I'd just shoot it, it's seriously unwell, suffering in captivity.2. Malamut cross, don't know with what but it's got unusually wide paws, jumps from the front legs, very intelligent but not trained and very high activity, very hard to contain. 3. A lab which is morbidly obese and will eat literally anything. Eats things which aren't even vaguely edible.

>If you keep a guard dog on private property, you are legally required to display clear visible warning signs stating "Attenti al cane" (Beware of the dog). However, simply having a sign does not automatically absolve you of liability if your security measures (like fences) fail.Sounds kinda unfair if you ask me
>>5173125I mean I think it depends on the situation. They mention fences failing, and like yeah if your dog jumps a fence and attacks some random person on a public sidewalk or something you should absolutely be liable, that's not ok. If it attacks someone who broke into your home then fuck 'em. Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Have own a mini dachshund for 2 years, bought her at 6 months oldShe seems to be the type of dog that gets along with women more than men, and even me (a male) she seems to be anxious a lot of the time, and I've never hurt her or yelled at herWhen my mom or sister is around though, she seems to be more playful, with them and with me, and when I take her on walks she seems to like the attention of women more than men who she will outright avoid Is this a learned behavior and can it be unlearned? Or should I just give her to my sister so she's not on a constant state of anxiety with me?

Are boiled chicken bones really a problem for dogs? Online people say that raw would be better but that'd make me worried about potential salmonella or whatever the fuck. I sometimes eat the boiled chicken bone myself and I never had any issues with splintering but I'm not a retarded dog myself, just a retarded human which I think is slightly better.
>>5174130Dogs just shit out salmonella. Dont risk the bones thing. You need to observe how your dog eats bones and make the call if it's safe.
Yesterday my dog was approached by two loose dogs. They didn’t bite him or anything, but he was visibly scared. So today, when another loose dog started lurking near him, he naturally barked in reaction. And what does the owner of the unleashed dog do? He starts complaining to me and pisses me off so I screamed at him to put a fucking leash on his dog. As I was walking away, a woman happened to pass by, and my dog without any provocation out of a suden lunged into her and bit her leg. I suspect it might have been redirected aggression or something. It was a very stressful walk.
>>5174164Yes, a dog that is retrained (on a leash) while a strange off-leash dog interacts with it is an easy trigger for future reactivity. You have to remind these faggots that there are leash laws FOR A REASON. Your dog lunging at the woman is still on you, but the stress of the situation could have caused your dog to be uneasy.
>>5174164sounds like your gay leash didnt do much in this situation huh big guy
How do people with 9-5 jobs have dogs? Y'all make it sound like grown dogs need more attention than a human baby, and if they don't get of running plus grooming a day they'll wither away and become diseased
>>5174220*two hours of running
>>5174220It's perfectly acceptable. Dogs are crepuscular, walk 'em and play with 'em a bit before work and they will chill until you come back and engage with them again. Assuming you have done the bare minimum like giving them different places to rest, a few chew toys, already established what not to chew on, etc. This is for adult dogs (3 years and up), you do need to be much more involved until then, but all you need is a dog walker to show up around noon and that adolescent dog can chill the rest of the day. Puppies should be supervised closely until they're around 6-8 months.
>>5174284mmmm, fried chicken
anyone else have an akita?
>>5174178Yes I know he just never had this behaviour before so I always walked him on a loose leash. I'm being careful from now on.>>5174185Fuck you.
>>5173125>>5173199Are Tosa inu as bad as pitbulls since they are banned everywhere? not banned in italy though. I've heard their are good guard dogs and bark only if necessary.

When you squeeze or hug a dog/cat, they may experience minor distress.I'm wondering if the same holds true for not letting your dog lick you. We recently had our dog pass away and it caused me to look over their behavior in memories and i always tried to avoid licks. Wondering how much that actually meant to them
>>5174660I let my dog lick me whenever he wants. All over my face. That's how they show affection. I don't actually care if it is gross.
I have a 2yo intact cattle dog and it seems like he's becoming aggressive to other intact dogs. It's often hard to say whether he's the one who starts it or if the other dog starts it but I'm not so biased towards my own dog that I think he wouldn't start it. He's an ornery little fucker but is friendly with almost all other dogs. Anyone got any tips? Won't be neutering my dog any time soon.
>>5174660Eh, they'll live, it's ok to set boundaries if it bugs you and just being able to sniff near you is enough, licking isn't mandatory
>>5174665>. It's often hard to say whether he's the one who starts it or if the other dog starts it butJust actually watch them?If you can't tell when you're staring at them, then there's nothing smol brain can do.
i need suggestions on guard dogs. Can somebody help me?
>>5165632>or eat it.Do not eat your dog
>>5166655You did cause your dog to die, because you put it down. The kidney disease didn't kill him, the lethal injection did. What you have to square away mentally is "did this action outweigh letting them suffer(?) for longer and then ultimately dying anyway." That's a question only you can answer. We put our dog down because bone cancer. The meds she had helped to a point, until they didn't. She had problems sleeping through the night at the end. I blame myself too, thinking we could have squeezed out a few more days at least. She was still mobile and happy, but didn't put any weight at all on the leg. If it just suddenly snapped, her last moments would have been very bad. Hard decision. But I have to accept logically, what killed her wasn't the bone cancer. It was me.

Anya is the cat killing mvp. 2 more like 10 minutes apart. >>5174691Maybe I'll die before she does. Idk.
>>5174681It often starts before I realize what is happening at places like the dog park so I'm often distracted
>>5165632Every one of these recipes contains garlic which is toxic to dogs
