Walking the dog, doing commands and exercise sessions are very important factors in dog training,. However, the owner of a Bermese Mountain Dog should forget about very important part of the dog’s growth – socialization. Primarily, this dog was originally bred as a farmer’s companion. Today, they still have that spirit of loyalty, as they would want to be by your side at all times. Make it a point that you won’t leave the Bermese Mountain Dog all alone in a kennel or tied to a pole or fence in the backyard. Doing this will bring out an anxious and quite hostile personality from it, and you may have a hard time training it.

Be wary that the Bermese Mountain Dog is quite a choosy dog, since it just selects one member of the family to be its best friend. But, this fact doesn’t stop it from being an overall great member of the family. Loyal and devoted, the dog will work hard to please anyone, especially children. Their intelligence surpasses those of other dogs. They are even known to manipulate their owners into doing this or that. During Bernese Mountain dog training, you should utilize such information to get the best out of your pet. Early socialization is truly important here as they tend to be shy for long. This taciturn nature runs in the breed.

The Bermese Mountain Dog will demand a lot of attention – not only from the owners, but from other dogs as well. During your Bernese Mountain dog training sessions, try to do a pack-walk with it. This could greatly benefit its social skills. When you put them inside the house though, they are usually calm and quiet, as opposed to their outside personalities. However, you might see them wag their tails inside the house often, meaning, they want to play with you.

Dog training will also extend to teaching your dog how to guard your house, as they are favorably good watch dogs. You will seldom hear them bark unnecessarily, but they will respond when a stranger approaches the door. It takes them three whole years to mature, which might be quite troublesome, except, of course, if you apply socialization training early on. Take note that they can also get lazy at times because of their heavy bone structure, so you have to remedy this by doing some light exercises like taking a short jog or walk around the park.

Because of their maturity rates, the ease of training differs from age to age. They’re relatively easier to train when they are young because of their active states. This is why it is important to stress the value of early socialization on a Bermese Mountain Dog. Just remember to reward and praise it properly when it has done something good. This will make it like you a lot. Also make it a point that it gets to meet lots of people, as the dog tends to feel uneasy when there are many unfamiliar faces.
Overall, the Bermese Mountain Dog is a great dog and family member to have – as long as you apply socialization in the early dog training years.

Heartworms are prevalent in nearly all countries while the countries with tropical and warm climates which includes most of USA. These tiny worms cause a variety of infections in smaller animals such as coyotes, wolves, foxes and even our pets like cats and dogs. It is due to widespread infections that makes Heartworm treatment difficult.

Life Cycle of Heartworms

The life of a heartworm begins as a larva inside a mosquito, which acts as a host and also as a carrier to this parasitic worm. The larva is deposited in the animal when the mosquito bites it and these parasitic worms go deep inside the healthy animals blood stream. After entering a blood vessel they head straight to the right portion of the heart and anchor themselves. They start growing and are known to grow to be about 12 inches long. These worms look like spaghetti and cause respiratory and cardiovascular problems in these animals.

The Heartworm takes 6 to 8 months to completely mature and on maturation, inside the heart it produces eggs that transform into thousands of larvae per day. These are again released into the blood vessels and come below the skin. These larvae are usually dormant and can stay in this form for nearly 3 years. As soon as a mosquito bites, these larvae are drawn into its body and are ready to infect another host animal.

The sheer magnitude of this infestation through mosquitoes cannot be controlled and wild animals and pets are equally at risk while it is hard to control the spread.

How to Treat Your Pet

With research, there are many topical applications and monthly doses of anti Heartworm pills that can be administered to dogs to prevent the parasitic infestation. These medicines are known to be effective even if the dog happens to be bitten by a mosquito hosting a Heartworm larva. Such medicines are also used to cure mild heartworm infections in dogs, if the dog is not sickly but is healthy otherwise. To begin treatment, the vet carries out some blood tests to verify the presence of heartworm larvae in blood, these infestations may be dormant. While some dogs show mild infestations with very serious complications.

Symptoms of Active Heartworm Infestations

You will find that your pet dog is unable to exercise without retching, coughing and wheezing is noticeable. The dog will emit abnormal lung sounds and intense cough while severe infestations include loss of consciousness. However, if you are living in an area where heartworm infections are prominent, it is best to put your pet on anti heartworm medications from the age of 6-7 months for its whole life. If you are not in an area where these infestations persist but plan to move there in the near future, put your pet on this medication at least 2 months prior to the move, with the advice of your vet.

It is bets to be safe than sorry as sever infestations can often turn fatal for the dogs.

Humans have been training dogs to carry out tasks for them since prehistoric times, when the main use for a dog was to help humans in their hunt for food. As now, dogs would be trained to hunt and catch small animals such as rabbits and hares, and also to track larger prey which the dog would either bring to bay to be finally killed by its master, or would chase towards a party of men who would then dispatch the larger animal.

Through time dogs were found to be useful for other tasks, apart from hunting, such as herding sheep that draws on the animal’s natural hunting instinct, and to guard their owners’ property. As the training of our K9 friend became more sophisticated they were put to a variety of uses such as law enforcement and leading the blind through unfamiliar territory.

Dogs are now used as pets as well as put to work, and even a pet K9 benefits from good and strict training that enables them to become a member of the family and society in which they live. The training of a dog is not as simple as teaching it tricks or how to obey instructions by the sound of your voice, but is more of a social conditioning. Before undertaking the training of a dog it is essential that the owner learns something about their psychology and the way that dogs socialize with their own species in the wild.

Dogs are pack animals, as anybody that has seen films of wild dogs hunting will understand. Wolves are a species of K9, and everybody understands that wolves hunt in packs. The secret in training a dog to become a well behaved member of your family is to show the dog that you are the leader of the pack that your dog belongs to. This leader is called the alpha, and the alpha leads the pack in everything that it does. All other animals obey the alpha, and the job of the trainer is to communicate to the animal that he or she is the alpha and must be obeyed.

Once your dog understands this it will obey you, assuming that it understands the instruction being given. If you continue to give your dog an instruction that it does not understand it will become frustrated and might vent that frustration as anger or aggression, just as humans do. However, if you understand its psychology, you will be able to teach your dog what is acceptable behavior and what is not, and also how to behave in certain situations. For example the dog will be trained to understand that your home is not a toilet, and that it is not to sit on your favorite chair, and so on. The benefits of this type of training go far beyond simply having a dog that obeys you and that can ‘do tricks’.

A well trained K9 is one that understands its place in your society, and it is happier knowing this. Dogs that get conflicting signals, and that are not given a clear lead by the alpha (you) become confused and consequently misbehaved. A well trained dog will form a lifelong bond with its owner, and will be able socialize as part of your family. When the dog instinctively follows your lead and your instructions it is not only seen as a being well behaved, but is also a happy dog.

It is important when training a dog to understand that they become afraid of what they do not understand, and become fearful when their routine is changed. A part of their training, then, should be to introduce them to a number of different environments and different people so that are less liable to come across change. However, an owner that understands this K9 characteristic will tend to own a dog that is less liable to become aggressive in certain situations because they can foresee the possible result of specific situations into which a dog can be put.

Young children, for example can create great stress within a dog not used to them, and a dog that is rarely involved with children should never be left alone with them. The dog will feel that it is the alpha relative to the child, and will punish the child for overstepping its authority just as it would another dog.

Another aspect of K9 training is exercise. A healthy dog needs a lot of exercise and a dog kept locked in a house all day can become very stressed and extremely difficult to train properly. It will also become bored, and be difficult to control. On the other hand, a well trained dog with plenty of exercise will be well behaved. Keep in mind that dogs are dogs, and should be allowed to be dogs now and again. Also keep in mind that your dog’s pack is your family, and you should expect it to be jealous of any newcomers to your family. The dog will need to be trained to accept a new baby for example.

If you take the time to train your K9 friend properly, you will have a healthy and happy dog that will be able to socialise and live with your family with any problems. It is when the dog is ignored and lacks exercise and attention, or when it does not understand your instructions, that it can become ‘bad’. A ‘bad’ dog is indicative of a bad owner.

The benefits of K9 training combine to give you a lifelong companion that will not only be faithful to you and your family, but that will also be happy and easily controllable wherever you take it.
