When it comes to pet, you will agree with me that you will not come to a conclusion without talking about dogs.
I recently bought a dog, have trained it for some time and i am here to expose some things you need to know about dogs.
Dogs are wonderful pets, they keep you company, makes you smile and can make you forget your sorrows.
Dogs are like human, they fear, feel and can response to stimuli. Though this article centers more on Lhasa Apso dogs which is the one that i own however, their behavior is the same for almost all dogs.
I bought my dog from a friend of mine who is also a veterinary doctor. We attended same church. He gave me the dog as well as the dog card. The dog card outline all the details of the dog.
If you are planning to own a dog in the future, then i advise you to also get the dog card. The dog can save you a lot of stress in a case where your dog bite anybody. In that scenario, all you will need to know is to show the dog card to let people know that you have been very diligent in administering all the vaccines your dog need to be healthy and safe around people.
Rabies is a very is a deadly disease that can be transferred from a dog to anyone that the dog bites. To avoid endangering the life of anyone that your dog bites, there is need you regularly give your dog all the vaccines they need to receive as they grow.

In the 1st - 4th month of a dog, there are important vaccines a dog needs to take.
If you are planning on owning a dog, know that you will spend on the dog both on food and on vaccines/drugs plus other grooming. For my dog, i use to birth him weekly to keep him neat enough to climb my bed if need be.
Over the months, i have learnt some behaviors of a dog and will share some with you as well as what i feed him with. If you finally own a dog, make your own research aside this article for a broad view on dog.
My observations owing a dog
1) Dogs are also like human. They feel everything that human feel just that they don't talk. They can only bark to express some feeling or fear.
2) As you can train a human, you can also train a dog and you can best train them with treats and consistently repeat anything new you want them to know till they have learnt what you want to know.
3) Dog lick every part of you as a way of expressing their happiness around you. There is no part of you a dog can not lick.
4) When are dog is excited, the tail of the dog will keep moving in all direction.
5) A dog stretching it body like human after sleep and can open his mouth wide as a way of stretching the mouth too
6) Dogs can sit at a place and just staring at the owner. This happens when they are relaxed or waiting to see if there is a reason to run to the owner.
7) If you gave your dog a name or there is a particular name you normally call your dog, the brain stores it and anytime you call the name, it will respond by either staring at you or moving towards you.
8) Dogs can feel scratches and can either scratch with their back legs or with the their mouth.
9) Dogs normally bring out their tongue but if their mouth is closed and is looking like the picture below, then know that there is a sound they heard. They are calm to hear the sound again and then react to it if there is need to.
10) Dogs can actually bite the owner but if you want to avoid cases like that, there is need to buy toys for your dog and always play with them. It helps them bond with you. Mine always take my socks and any other thing toy looking around him.
11) Dogs heart beats faster when they are frightened or excited especially when they want to run to their owner.
12) Dogs can sense the presence of their owner even when they are distant from them and they can stay far from you when they want to relax and probably sleep.
13) Dogs can sense when they make you angry and when you don't want them around you. In the situation, they can give you some space but once they feel that your anger has subsided, they will come around you, licking all part of you. That is the dog saying i am sorry.
14) Dogs can sense when you are possibly in danger. This scenario triggers to bark or run after the person or animal that is possibly about to attack you.
The above are few on dogs that you need to know before purchasing your own dog. If you have any specific information you need to know about dogs, feel free to use the comment box below.
