Service dogs

-

Rember my last blog post when I talked about dogs being helpful? Well for this post I'm going to get more into detail about that. Those dogs who help people are called service dogs. There also dogs who help the police, but we'll talk about working dogs later. Service dogs can service the blind, deaf, and many more like emotional support. But you have to train a dog to be a service dog first. A service dog and a service dog in training can go everywhere to as long as it has the official vest so you don't have to worry about not having your service dog around. FUN FACT: a dog that helps the blind is called a guide dog.

    A dog feeder is a device or container designed to hold and dispense food for dogs. It is used to provide regular and measured portions of food for dogs, ensuring they are fed at the appropriate times and in the right quantities. Dog feeders come in various forms, including gravity feeders, automatic feeders, and interactive feeders.

Preparing for a puppy

The first thing you need to do to before your family gets a dog is well deciding what you want, a purebred or a mutt, hypoallergenic, breeder or shelter. To help you decide what breed you want, I will create a list: small apartment= small dog that doesn't need that much exercise, Big yard=big dog that likes to play. TIP: don't get a dog if your family travels a lot and no one can take care of the dog. The next step is to figure out where the dog will be sleeping and buying all the toys and treats. After you figure that out you can move on to the schedule, who will walk the dog how many times a week does he need to be walked, when will you take him to potty, and how many times a day will you feed him and what will you feed him. Finally, you'll be able to decide how you want to train the dog and what do you want the dog to do. But the most important thing is to spend time with your dog and make sure (s)he knows you love him\her and build a good relationship with them. Here...

Mutts vs Purebred

Remember in my first blog post I talked about crossbreeds/mutts, well we're getting back to that now. First I wanted to talk about how some people discriminate mutts because they think purebreds are better. Some people also think they're are unhealthier, sometimes that's true, but sometimes a dog's health all depends on how they're treated before or after they're adopted. If anything a lot of purebreds are unhealthy because if you haven't noticed, puppy mills sell purebreds more often since they're smart and they know they'll sell better. So technically a lot of unhealthy dogs are purebred, but if you look on the other side the majority of abandoned dogs are mutts and it's unhealthy for them if they're abandoned in a bad place. but almost 100% of the time they are abandoned at a kill shelter or on the side of a road so that's not that big of an if because it happens like A LOT. So please if you decide to get a dog, don't jump straight...

Dog fighting

The last post I wrote, the interesting fact mentioned dogfighting rings, well I'm going to get more into detail about that. Dogfighting is a cruel type of "sport" for dogs where they put two dogs that the owners trained to fight for the entertainment of spectators and they usually put bets on which dog will win. Also, the owner of the dog that won, gets a lot of money. Dogfighting is illegal in all 50 states of the United States, so a dog fight would be a crime. Attending a dog fight in all states, but Hawaii and Montana is a felony, too. Sometimes they even use dogs as bait to attract other dogs to fight. The dogs are also trained to attack on command so if a police officer comes near the dogfight, they'll get attacked by the dog. It's so upsetting to know that even though they know it's a horrible, horrible thing to do, they still do it because they know in the end they might have money, even though they know that money is made off the death of a dog. That...
