5 Things you didn't know about your dog

Human beings and Dogs have been living together for more than 15000 years. This time period shows that we know each other very well but still there are some things which very little people know. Given below are such 5 things you probably didn't know about your dog.


Thing# 05

Dogs can be as smart as a 2 years old child



Dogs can be as smart as 2-year-old children, according to research presented in 2009 at a meeting of the American Psychological Association. Border collies are the top dogs in the intelligence category, with some in the breed capable of understanding up to 200 words. Poodles, German shepherds, Golden retrievers and Dobermans round out the top five smartest breeds. (The most popular breed in America, the Labrador retriever, comes in at number seven.)

Thing# 04

Dogs are the most diverse looking mammals


From the droopy Bassett hound to the sleek-and-slim Weimaraner, dogs show an amazing diversity in body shape. A study published in The American Naturalist in 2010 found that the differences between dog breeds' skulls are as pronounced as the differences between completely separate mammal species. A Collie skull, for example, is as different from a Pekingese skull as a cat's skull is from a walrus's.

Thing# 03

Dogs too feel envy


Dogs know when they're not getting a fair shake. A 2008 study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences found that when dogs saw other dogs getting treats for a trick they'd been performing unrewarded, the unrewarded dogs became agitated, scratching themselves and avoiding the gaze of the rewarded dogs. They also stopped doing the trick much faster than if they were alone and not getting a reward.

Thing# 02

Dogs can smell our diseases



If you have cancer, diabetes, or epilepsy, your dog might be the first to know. Studies have shown that dogs can be trained to sniff out cancersof the lung, breast, skin, bladder and prostate. Researchers suspect the canines are picking up on extraordinarily faint scents given off by the abnormal cells.

Thing# 01

Dogs can get human diseases


Humans and dogs aren't so different after all, at least regarding what makes us sick. About 6 million dogs are diagnosed with cancereach year, and dogs get canine versions of rare human disorders like the brain-wasting neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis that leads to the inability to walk or control their muscles. While illness is sad for humans and pets alike, sharing diseases benefits both species. Clinical trials are easier to run on pets, giving doctors an animal model of human disease.

5 shortest living dog breeds

Bringing home a new puppy is a very exciting time. It’s understandable that one’s family wouldn’t want to consider the dog breed’s possible lack of longevity at such a young age. As the dog grows older and health issues begin to emerge, being familiar with the breed’s weaknesses is worthwhile. These dogs are certainly full of life though – many owners of these breeds are grateful for having one to call their own.


Here are the 5 shortest living dog breeds:


Breed #01


Irish wolfhound



The tallest breed of all dogs (standing as high as 38 inches), Irish wolfhounds rarely live to be more than 10 years old, passing away on average at age 7.

3 reason that can cause a dog to eat grass

Have you ever wondered why a dog eats grass sometimes? It might be like he just woke up from a nap and went to lawn and took a big chomp of grass without any reason. Actually there's no set time a dog decides to eat grass. But why do they eat grass? They are not herbivores then what is the reason behind this? So here are 3 major reasons which can cause your dog to eat grass.


Reason #03


Grass Tastes Good


Another theory, and probably with a good amount of truth, is that some dogs just like to eat grass. Some will just get bored laying down and start chewing away. They typically are not taking down the big gulps of the dogs with the gastric upset, but they’ll certainly eat as much, if not more. You might even find that your dog prefers certain types of grass over others. Dogs like to eat, and they evolved to eat a variety of different foods offered to them. Grass may have been a part of that diet at one particular time.

Reason #02

Excessive Hunger

via Jcrannberry

The other reasons why your dog might be eating grass include improving digestion, treating intestinal worms, or fulfilling some unmet nutritional need, including the need for fiber. Some believe that dogs may be excessively hungry or are lacking proper nutrition. If you’re feeding your dog enough food, try adding some fresh, steamed green beans to his diet to help provide more fiber and a feeling of satiety. Green beans contain almost no calories, so your pup will feel full without packing on any extra pounds.

Reason #01

Nausea/Stomach Upset


Some people propose that dogs might turn to eating grass when they don’t feel well as a way to make themselves vomit, and then feel better. Others dispute this idea, on the basis that dogs are not proven to be smart enough to decide to treat an upset stomach by eating grass. There have been many theories, but veterinarians seem to support the idea that dogs often eat grass due to gastrointestinal upset. Typically by gulping down large clumps of grass, the digestive system lining gets irritated by the blades and causes the dog to vomit. Nobody likes throwing up, but I think we can all admit it usually does make us feel a little better. Dogs that eat grass to cure their nausea generally have a sort of gastric reflux or inflammatory condition.

Breed #05

ENGLISH COCKER SPANIEL

English Cocker Spaniels rank 18th in Stanley Coren’s The Intelligence of Dogs, being of excellent working intelligence.

But the rewards of the properly trained English Cocker Spaniel far outweigh the somewhat increased difficulty of the training.

ROTTWEILER



This breed has a high level of intelligence, making them ideal for training. However, they don’t respond well to aggressive training so use positive measures to encourage learning.

With this type of dog you need to be gentle but firm. All these dog breeds can be easily trained as long as you utilize the most appropriate methods based on their personality and disposition.

German Shepherd



There is a reason why these dogs are used as police dogs – they’re very quick to train and very keen to try new things. That said, they can get bored quite easily so stick to short, regular training sessions.

LABRADOR RETRIEVERS


This is a breed that has bags of common sense and a passion for learning. However, you should bear in mind that their attention span is quite short so consistent and regular training is a key part of success with these dogs.
