Treadmill Training Your Dog
Updated: May 9, 2020
First I will answer the most popular question pertaining to this topic:
Is it safe? Yes. With the proper training done and with monitoring your pet.
Getting the proper amount of exercise that your dog needs can be a difficult task sometimes; be it a lack of time, poor weather, or your dog seems to have extra energy on a particular day. Each dog is different when it comes to their exercise needs, based mostly off of their breed, but also their individual personalities. It can be more obvious on some dogs that they need to drain energy than others. The treadmill is a wonderful addition to your dog's routine, if properly done.
The idea in my house for a treadmill first came while watching an episode (or many many episodes) of the Dog Whisperer with Cesar Milan. Whatever your thoughts or opinions of Mr. Milan, please don't let it sway you on this topic, he didn't even come up with this idea. Anyhow, I saw him put a pair of small dogs on a treadmill to drain their excess energy, and this was the first time I had ever seen this before.
In my home we have three dogs, and one of those is our lovely boy Riley, our 3 year old Golden Retriever. If you know anything of the breed, or if you've read my post specifically about them, you will know that they have an abundance of energy that must be exerted. Riley is an exceptional dog, however, he seemingly never slowed down and especially while training his excitement at the door and healing on walks, this made things very difficult.
It seemed as though we couldn't walk Riley enough to drain his energy. Having two other dogs made this even more difficult, one being a puppy that needed training with healing, and the other being a reactive dog, who of course needs training in that area. If I could take these dogs on three separate hikes throughout the day, my problems would have been solved, unfortunately I have a full-time job. (I love my job - so thankful - kidding about it being unfortunate). HOWEVER, I do work from home, so this gave me an advantage.
I first brought this idea to David, my boyfriend, as a mid-day 30 minute walk for Riley while I'm working. What I didn't know, was that the treadmill would become part of our daily routine, for all three dogs, and truly a huge blessing in our lives. As I write this I feel a viewer like myself, trying to just get to the dang Banana Bread recipe, truly not caring about this lady's soccer mom trials and tribulations. Sorry folks let's get to the good stuff!
How to Get Started
Introducing your dog to the treadmill has to be a very careful process, like a first impression, this will be your dogs deciding moment on how he feels about this large and noisy, moving device. This was the way we did it with Reese and Riley which is not a science, just what worked for us:
Make this introduction as pleasant as possible for your dog. I planned our first trial before their supper, making the reward for this activity FOOD! The way to my dog's heart. Invite your dog onto the treadmill (while turned OFF) with treats and allow them to sniff and explore freely. Let them on and off as they please, getting comfortable with this new, strange piece of furniture.
Attach your dog to a leash, you can hold the leash or tie it to the treadmill (with a reasonable amount of slack) and lure them onto the treadmill again with treats. S L O W L Y turn the treadmill on, I'm talking half a measure at a time. This sensation will go against everything in your dogs nature; a moving floor means 'earthquake' to them, so their instincts will say run. Gently use the leash to guide them into their walk. I stood beside Reese as he walked and said "heel" hoping he understood to behave exactly as we do in our regular walk.
Keep it Short
In our first session we went a total of 5 minutes. This was brand new to our dogs and we didn't want them to be overwhelmed. After 5 minutes I did not let Reese run off of the treadmill. He was put in a sit and stay and waited patiently as I placed his food bowl on the floor. When he was released he got to enjoy a delicious meal that he worked very hard to receive.
Rey was the most hesitant to get on the treadmill; she was about 5 months old, I believe, when she was first introduced and it was a bit scarier for her. What I did to help her and since she was so small, was I joined her on the treadmill. I walk beside her, rewarding her as we walked, and saying 'heel' to get her in the motion. We also went for 5 minutes and then she was given her supper after sitting still on the treadmill waiting to be released.
We continued our 5 minute sessions before breakfast and before supper each day until each dog grew more comfortable. Your dog may become more comfortable quicker, or it may take more time - be patient with your dog and don't give up! Within a week, Reese was jumping on the treadmill to get going. He actually jumped on in the middle of my run once, which was hilarious, and joined me for 15 minutes.
It took about two or three weeks before Riley was getting on the treadmill without us basically lifting him on. Rey certainly still does not jump on with excitement but she has gained a lot more confidence on it and no longer whines. It takes some time to make them comfortable and it is up to you to make it a pleasant experience for them!
Our dogs now use the treadmill each day, before breakfast and dinner, for 30 minutes each time. The treadmill is not to be replaced with an outdoor walk, however our dogs truly cannot get enough exercise.
Rey is the one who truly needs it the least, but we utilize it when we find it necessary. Riley, with his excess energy, needs the treadmill when we simply can't get in our two or three walks a day. Are you in Nova Scotia? Have you been experiencing this weather? Drying off a Golden after a walk in the rain is no easy task. (Side note: our dogs have more towels than we do, by three times).
With Reese's reactivity, we realize that if we don't exercise him he will exert his energy in the least healthy ways, by being aggressive towards Riley. The difference in Reese when he is properly exercised is outstanding, so when we see fit, we pop him on the treadmill for a thirty minute walk, and sometimes even a run! It was also a process to train him to run on the treadmill but he is incredible on it.
You can never be too careful when putting your dogs on the treadmill. Monitor them carefully and look for signs that they are uncomfortable or need a break.
Some dogs (*cough* Rey) don't give signs at all and simply just go #2 while walking on the treadmill without skipping a beat. Yes, she did just go outside to the bathroom, and yes she pooped. We always let the dogs out before going on the treadmill to avoid accidents. Rey is an exceptionally special dog that cannot be explained by science, so hopefully you don't run into this problem.
Clean Clean Clean!
My GOODNESS dogs are dirty. I sweep the floor in the basement, where the treadmill is, every. single. day. The dirt that comes off of them while they're on the treadmill is wild. The treadmill gets so dusty as well as the wall ledge next to it. The treadmill is a fan constantly blowing dust around so regular cleaning is necessary. Protect your lungs!!!
Every experience can be different so again, be patient with your dog. We thought that Riley would never be comfortable enough for a 30 minute walk, but he is now a champ! Rey does best when she is on the treadmill with her brother Reese, two dogs can be on together if they're the right size. Sometimes Reese and Rey simply are not coordinated enough to go together and one gets pushed to the side. This is why you have to monitor and adjust, some days they do individual walks.
You can use a weighted back pack on your dog to increase the work for them! 10% of the dog's weight is recommended, Reese is 50 pounds so we use 2.5 pounds in each pocket (left and right side) to achieve this. A 15 minute walk with weight is equivalent to a 30 or 45 minute walk without! Reese does not always use this but it's a great addition when he just needs to drain more energy.
If you have any questions or concerns about this feel free to send me a message! Any tips or experience with this yourself? I'd love to hear about it!

In August in Yalta, a dog named Mukhtar died after waiting 12 years for his owner to return. The dog came to the embankment every day and looked sadly at the sea. The owner of the Mukhtar sheepdog was an employee of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, who died tragically in 2011. The dog was very affected by the loss and every day “took his place” in the hope of seeing his beloved owner again. .
All attempts by concerned people to take the dog home were unsuccessful. Mukhtar even refused to eat for the first few months. The dog became a kind of unspoken symbol of Yalta and the story of his fate spread throughout the world.
There are many similar examples of four-legged devotion. But not all of us know them and the information has been preserved. At the same time, some stories were very moving and became ideas for fictional books and films. We have compiled the most striking examples of canine loyalty to draw attention again to the need to care for and love your pets.
The previous article talked about which dog breeds live the longest:
Which dogs live longer than others? 10 long-lived breeds
History of the Skye Terrier Bobby from Scotland
This little Edinburgh dog has become a true symbol of the city. The story of loyalty and sincere love for the owner was recorded and recorded by eyewitnesses in the 19th century. According to sources, in 1850, the old shepherd John Gray acquired a Sky Terrier dog. The dog became attached to his owner and never left his side. John named the dog Bobby. The favorite helped herd the flocks of sheep, went to church with the owner, and went to the city market.
After eight years of long friendship, the old shepherd died. A dog who was sent to a farm escaped and found his owner’s grave in Greyfriars Cemetery. Bobby settled there. Every day the dog could be seen next to the grave of its owner. Bobby lived at Greyfriars for 14 years. After the dog’s death, the inhabitants of Edinburgh, moved by his devotion, raised funds and erected a monument to the little Skye Terrier. The pedestal can still be seen at the entrance to the cemetery.

The story of Pastor Palma from Moscow Vnukovo airport.
The dog became the hero of newspaper reports, documentaries and feature films. It was talked about throughout Russia and thousands of interested people wanted to take it home. A shepherd dog named Palma was abandoned on the runway at Vnukovo airport in 1976. He supervised the takeoffs and arrivals of Il-18 aircraft. As eyewitnesses noted, Palma accurately identified the aircraft modifications.
Journalist Yuri Rost gave greater publicity to the shepherd’s story on the catwalk. In his essay, he talked about an unusual dog who refused to leave the airport for two months, probably waiting for his owner. As we later learned, Palma was not allowed to board the Il-18 plane due to lack of a health certificate issued by a veterinarian. The owner had to leave the dog on the track.
Palma did not go to the airport employees and ran away from them. Only the great-granddaughter of the writer Ivan Kotlyarevsky managed to tame and gain trust. She was at Palma’s side for a month and a half before they managed to get her out of the airport.
History of Captain German Shepherd from Argentina
A dog named Captain came to his master’s grave for six years and whimpered pitifully in the hope of seeing him again. The family of Argentine Miguel Guzmán bought the dog as a gift for his 13-year-old son in 2005. A year later, the father of the family died and the pet ran away from home.
The Captain was found a week later in the owner’s grave. The dog lay with its head down near the monument. Since then, the dog could be seen every day in the cemetery of the city of Villa Carlos Paz. The captain only occasionally went to his house to spend time with his family.
The story of Naida from Komsomolsk on the Amur.
Another example of Russian Hachiko remained in the memory of eyewitnesses in a city in the Khabarovsk Territory. For 12 years, the mixed-breed dog Naida arrived at the place where her owner was hit and killed by a car. At the time of the accident, the dog was next to the owner, but she managed to survive. However, after the tragedy, Naida did not want to leave the sidewalk where the accident occurred.
Concerned city residents tried to take Naidu home, but she steadfastly refused to leave the place where she was last near her owner. The volunteers built a house for the dog and brought him food. Naida’s life also ended tragically. In 2017, the dog was hit by a car. The inhabitants of Komsomolsk-on-Amur proposed to erect a monument to a devoted and faithful animal.
The story of the German Shepherd Tommy from Italy.
In 2018, a dog named Tommy ran into a church service where a memorial service was being held for his deceased owner. The dog ran inside the temple and waited patiently for the owner to return. The seven-year-old German shepherd belonged to 57-year-old Maria Margaret Loki. Their friendship began after a woman found Tommy abandoned by his previous owners in a field. “María Margarita was a volunteer and often rescued stray animals. But it was this dog that she loved more than all the others; “She often took him to church with her,” her friends shared the woman’s memories.
During the owner’s funeral, Tommy was allowed to attend the funeral at the church. After that, the dog ran there every time she heard the ringing of bells in the hope of seeing her owner again.

Purrrrrfect Pals in Paradise
Born in 1996, this short haired tuxedo was the victim of a botched declawing operation. He was rescued from the St. Croix Animal Shelter in the U.S.V.I. and had to undergo another operation to put things right.
As his name implies, he is tranquility embodied. But when he found our front gate in 2000, he was about five years old and had been declawed. It took a few cans of Sheeba Catfood (hence his name) and he was home for good. At first he was thought to be a her but now we all know better.
Brought in for evaluation by an Old San Juan rescue group, this long haired mix has stayed on and is slowly overcoming his rather antisocial behavior.
This Manx cat came from a north Florida shelter and was adopted as a 1 year
old in 1998. Delivered by private aircraft and chauffeured limo to my mother who
lived alone until her death in 2003. Mona came to stay with us and was
the constant companion of Simba until her passing in 2006. Mona now has the run
of the guesthouse and expects to be brushed every day.

You got the call. Your dog is no longer welcome at Doggy Daycare? What now?
Hearing that your dog is not suitable for doggy daycare can stir up a rollercoaster of emotions. It floods over you when you hear that your dog has failed at something! You want to be proud of your dog. You’ve done what you thought you should. So how can your dog fail at daycare?
What does that mean? Have you failed your dog? Does this make your dog a bad dog? You might feel disappointed. You might feel embarrassed. And you might even feel angry, embarrassed and frustrated. Does this mean you have a bad dog?
The truth of the matter
There are large numbers of dogs at a Doggy Daycare facility. There are usually also limited staff. The staff often do not have a thorough understanding of dog behaviour. For starters, they can often can miss the beginnings of serious problems.
Facilities that lack structure will have a high failure rate. What does that mean? Dog’s need structure. If the facility won’t provide it, many dogs won’t be suitable for daycare.
Modern Dog Training is Failing Dogs
The modern view that humans can’t correct a dog’s bad behaviour is not healthy. If you watch dogs they often correct each other. I’m not saying that every human is stable enough to be fair to dogs. But, many are. And experienced trainers can be more ethical than another animal would. That’s also why owners need training, but I digress.
If you want my honest opinion. Every dog who comes to SolutionK9 who attends Doggy Daycare makes very slow progress. Why? Owners believe that their dogs are social because they attend daycare. The reality is that the dog is happy in their daycare group. But it does not mean that the dog is either well adjusted or social.
What is Normal?
Many dog breeds were actually developed to distrust strangers. Dogs were selectively bred to protect stock from wolves, foxes and other dogs. They were bred to keep their families safe at night from strange and dangerous people. So having a dog that is not a social butterfly is normal. Social dogs got their livestock stolen and families killed. Social dogs are actually not normal.
Let’s think about other animals. A herd of elephants, horses, cows, sheep or a pride of lions, pack of wolves all social animals. Let’s look at it from the perspective of these groups. Would a member of one group, say an elephant, visit a different group of elephants? How about a lion? Wolf? Hyena? No. They don’t. Why? Because the group of animals will kill the visitor.
What is Normal?
So, do you think it’s normal for dogs to be social? Nope. They’re not. Except some Labradors. So if social dogs aren’t normal, why do we expect dogs to be social? Because we’re putting human expectations on our dogs.
The truth is, your dog does not need a doggy daycare and other doggy friends to be happy. Your dog needs you. Dogs have been selectively bred to work with people.
And if you work long hours selecting a laid-back breed like a Ridgeback or a Greyhound can be a great solution. These breeds generally like to laze about. (Please note, this is a generalization, not every member of these breeds are like this). Selecting an older rescue is also a better choice than getting a puppy.
Is Any Daycare OK?
Dogs do much better in a daycare with structure. Firstly, look for a daycare where you’re happy with the ratio of staff to dogs. You also want to find a daycare where the dogs have structure. What do I mean by structure? The dogs should spend some of their day on a place bed or crated. The dogs should be taught self control.
You see, dogs need structure. It makes them feel secure and that makes them happy. So if your dog just gets to play all day, they will neither be happier or fulfilled. Unfortunately, these types of daycares are few and far between.
You also want to select a daycare run by a dog trainer. Not a dog lover. Why? Dog trainers are best suited to spot problems before they arise. I’m not going to be popular for saying this. But I’m not here to win popularity contests. I’m here to help dog owners enjoy their lives with their dogs more.
What else can you do?
There are a few other things you can choose to help your dog feel more fulfilled too. You can stop feeding your dog out of a bowl, and feed them out of boredom buster toys instead. Boredom buster toys make their meals last longer and actually gives your dog something to do. This strategy is also used in Zoo’s. It is called “enrichment”.
Another thing you can do to help your dog is mental exercise. What is mental exercise? It’s things like tracking, scent detection or trick training. Things that tax your dog’s brain so that they have less mental energy to get up to mischief. The problem with physical exercise is that your dog just gets fitter. Not tired.
Let’s look at it from a different angle. What makes you feel more tired? A half hour walk? Or a half hour’s accounts? Understand what I’m saying?
But What if Your Dog Gets Bored?
If you have a more active breed of dog, or a young pup (under 24 months), you can get a dog walker. If your dog gets exercised during the day with a structured walk it can help keep your dog out of mischief. This is especially valuable if your dog is kenneled or crated, like mine are. And not only is a dog walker about the same price as a doggie daycare, your dog will be more fulfilled.
If your dog is in a large run or has your whole backyard to themselves, this might not be necessary. A large run being an area large enough to toilet in. There are many ways to keep your dog occupied so they don’t get up to mischief.
Don’t despair if your dog is no longer welcome at your local daycare. Your dog doesn’t need other dog-friends to be happy. Your dog needs you!

Remi is one of the friendliest dogs you’ll meet, but she usually will instantly leave you the moment she sees Dr. Forster leaving as Remi is attached to her hip, probably because Dr. Forster always has treats or wants to go outside.


Seattle Humane to Address Lack of Affordable Veterinary
Bellevue, Washington, Feb. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nearly 50 million pets in the U.S. cannot access even the most basic veterinary care. Due to cost and other barriers, pets in under-resourced communities often do not receive essential services such as preventative care, vaccinations, spay/neuter services, dental and other medical care. In the U.S., 70 percent of homes include pets. As research continues to reveal the benefits of the human-animal bond, a movement is underway to connect pet parents to the health care their pets need to keep them and their families healthy.
With a $120,000 grant from PetSmart Charities, Seattle Humane will support pets and pet parents in need of these veterinary services by developing a focused plan to increase veterinary care to communities lacking these services, building relationships in resource deserts and gathering data to improve the nonprofit’s suite of programs and services.
“There is a critical need to break down barriers to veterinary care here in the Pacific Northwest and address existing service gaps, particularly for our low-income neighbors who are not only struggling to access care financially but also due to living far away from these resources,” said Dr. Jessica Reed, Vice President of Veterinary Services. “Meeting pets and their people where they are in the community, addressing cultural and language barriers, and providing quality veterinary care ensures they will age comfortably in loving homes.”
According to the Human-Animal Bond Research Institute, pets make a significant impact in the health and wellness of the people they love. This grant funding will help more families in need receive the veterinary care that ensures pets live long, healthy lives.
“Pets are important family members,” said Aimee Gilbreath, president of PetSmart Charities. “The rising cost of veterinary care has become out of reach for many — and today, 63% of pet owners said inflation made it more challenging to pay for surprise vet bills. We know the support for partners like Seattle Humane ensures more pets stay in their homes and out of shelters, doing what they do best and loving their people.”
Information about Seattle Humane’s suite of veterinary services and how to make an online appointment can be found at seattlehumane.org/services/veterinary-services.

It is a massive park with bush walks, off leash areas, wood fired BBQs and lots of areas to swim in the creek with your dog. Brilliant in Summer to cool down – the water is always fresh. There is also a great adventure playground for the kids and lots of open green space for throwing a ball or a game of cricket. You can also cycle around the park – it is linked in to many of the great cycle paths around Cairns.
For a full list of dog friendly parks in Cairns you can click this link for the Cairns Council website list.
Cairns Off Leash Areas
Some of the parks listed above have designated off leash areas – click the link for a full list of all dog off leash areas in Cairns
One of our favourites is the Colin Penridge Park in Whitfield – this area is close to Edge Hill where there are also dog friendly tracks, cafes and a market (see below) and is a giant green field perfect for active dogs to run around in. It’s protected on all sides by trees and the backs of houses so no danger of pups escaping to the road. It’s a bit hidden away (I may get in trouble with the locals for mentioning this one!) but you can find entries through the houses on Hillview Crescent or McManus Street.
The northern end of Cairns Esplanade is also a massive favourite of ours – I love the views over the ocean early in the morning or at sunset – there are dog friendly areas on the beach on Cairns Esplanade too as well as a big green field for them to run around on (off leash)
We also love Henley’s Hill Park in De Jarlais Street in Earlville – there are dog agility structures in a large green off leash area with a shady seated area. There is also a great kids’ playground and toilets just outside, and a great walking track around the park too.
Dog Friendly Walks in Cairns
A lot of the rainforest and bushwalks around Cairns are in dog-prohibited National Park areas – but we’ve found a few that you can enjoy with your best mate.
Goomboora Park (mentioned above) has bush trails through the park you can enjoy and is fully dog friendly.
In Whitfield you can trek up the hill to the start of the Green Arrow for magnificent views over Cairns – the Green Arrow track itself is not dog friendly but the approach is a fire trail where locals have walked their dogs for years before the official walking trail opened. It will take about 20minutes to the top (it’s a steep hill so bring your energy!) and there’s a grassy plateau at the top. It starts in the suburb of Whitfield where there are also a few great off-leash parks – including the Colin Penridge Park (listed above).
Smithfield Conversation Park is dog friendly on leash and has lots of beautiful bush walking opportunities – it’s about 15km north of Cairns (very close to the beaches – lots of dog friendly options see below).
The Esplanade in Cairns is dog friendly – you can walk almost as far as the Lagoon (dogs are not welcome in Cairns CBD or around the lagoon area). But that still leaves 2km of Esplanade to enjoy on leash with your dog – walking along the pedestrian path away from the traffic with lovely views over the ocean. You will pass BBQs, playgrounds, a beach volleyball court, massive skate park, bouldering and rock climbing wall, fitness stations and modern art pieces. There is also a dog friendly cafe – Muddys – about half way along.
Dog Friendly Beaches in Cairns
Our favourite dog friendly beach in Cairns is Holloways – we’ve always loved walking the full length and taking in the beautiful views and watching the kite surfers. There are also great monthly dog friendly markets here too.
Other dog friendly beaches include Trinity Beach, Bramston Beach, Machans Beach, Buchans Point, Clifton Beach, Ellis Beach and Kewarra Beach.
WARNING – crocodiles are present in the oceans around Cairns and dogs are not allowed inside the croc/stinger nets. Never let your dog swim at night, dusk or dawn (when croc attacks are most likely) and take notice of warning signs. Crocodiles are more likely to hunt during the warmer, wetter months so be more vigilant during these times.
Dog Friendly Swimming Spots in Cairns
Lots of people excercise their dogs in the ocean around Cairns – as we have for 10 years, but attacks can occur. If you are looking for croc free swimming for your pet then head to Goomboora Park (listed above).
We also often took our dog to ‘The Rocks’ in Redlynch – park of the Freshwater Creek too so croc free. You can find it on The Rocks Road in Redlynch about 15 minutes from Cairns city.
Emerald Creek Falls about 60kms west of Cairns on the Tablelands is a great croc-free spot to swim with your dog too – it is dog friendly (on leash) and also has bush walks. If you’re out on the Tablelands make sure you visit the pet friendly Herberton Historical Village where dogs are welcome to explore with you (on lead)
Dog Friendly Cafes in Cairns
There are lots of dog friendly eateries in Cairns – one of our favourites is Ozmosis in the trendy Edge Hill suburb – where you will also find the monthly dog friendly market. (see below)
We also love Limberlost in Freshwater – it’s a gorgeous garden centre with a cafe where dogs are welcome – and just around the corner is the Ryan Weare Park which has swimming and a huge green space where you can watch the famous Kuranda railway pass while you play.
You can find a great list of dog friendly places to eat in Cairns on this list.
Dog Friendly Markets in Cairns
We love Holloways Beach market – held monthly (you can find the next market date here) there is a great mix of handmade, new and second hand stalls. Dogs are welcome and the markets are right next to the beach. Shop, swim, sand, repeat!
The Tanks Markets are held on the last Sunday of the month from April – November. Despite being nestled among the Botanical Gardens where pets are prohibited, dogs are welcome to wander and shop with their owners while on a lead. Look out for Zoe’s Doggy Treats stall where your dog can get lots of tasty and healthy treats, as well as a welcome drink stop.
If you’re a dog lover looking for special gifts don’t miss our dog mum gift guide here.
While you’re in Edge Hill you’ll be close to the Colin Penridge off leash park, the fire trail leading up to the Green Arrow Trail or the off leash esplande area starting at the area behind the Tobruk Swimming Pool – lots of opportunity for burning off some energy after a hard morning shopping!
Dog Friendly Bungy Jumping!
Did you know that Cairns is the only place in Australia where you can bungy jump? Although you can’t actually make the leap with your pup – they are welcome in the fab Gravity Bar and Cafe at AJ Hackett in Cairns where you can watch the adventurous leaping from 50metres up in the rainforest, or enjoying the Minjin Swing through the trees.
We know you’ll have a great time with your dog in Cairns – if you’re also travelling with kids then check out these great kid friendly and dog friendly places in Cairns too.

On Friday, October 13 I was driving to an appointment when I saw a little dog with an injured paw at Figueroa and 88th. Nearby a blue pit pull on leash was dragging its owner down the street. Sensing doom I (who normally drive like a timid grandmother) executed flawless U-turn into oncoming traffic, returned to the little dog. She ran on three legs while pit bull attempted to close distance between them. “Oh, no.. oh, no.. !” I heard pit bull owner crying out as he tried to steer his dog away. Fortunately he succeeded.
Sweet little chihuahua terrier mix (pics above) was wearing a blue collar with no tags. To make the long story short I took her to the local ASPCA where hopefully her owner would claim her. She trembled with fear as kind attendant loaded her into a cage. “I will do everything possible to get you home.” I promised her. Almost immediately her photo appeared on the ASPCA website. I checked it daily, called the shelter regularly for status updates, and continued to visit both her and the neighborhood where I found her. It seemed unlikely that someone would post “Lost Dog” signs and not check the local shelter but you never knew.
Over the next few weeks mysterious details emerged: the little darling (who I now called Rhoda – sort of a shortened version of “Figueroa”) had metal plates in her injured paw. Someone had paid for very expensive orthopedic surgery but had neglected to have Rhoda either spayed or micro-chipped. Since surgery had not worked Rhoda would now likely need a paw amputation. How had she ended up wandering the streets of one of LA’s most, um, blighted neighborhoods? Feel kind of judgmental typing that but if you go there you will see what I mean. Anyways, I returned home from a shoot this past Friday night to discover that Rhoda’s photo had vanished from the ASPCA website. Praying someone would answer at this late hour I called the shelter. A gentleman requested Rhoda’s ID number and then informed me that a kind soul had adopted Rhoda!
Naturally fellow animal lover Kianna Dior and I had to toast this happy turn of events. Throughout this experience I developed tremendous admiration for the staff at the South LA ASPCA. In the past I never thought of the animal shelter as a kind, nurturing environment but they are doing great work there. Please join me in making a donation if you feel inclined. I’ve been sending $5 here and there because that’s what I can afford right now and I do believe that every bit helps.
By the way, California has become the first state to require that pet stores sell rescue animals only. Hallelujah! Thank you, Governor Jerry Brown. I shed a tear when I read the news on October 15 and genuinely felt proud to be a Californian.
Hope everyone is having a pleasant Monday. I just finished a 3-day shoot for a private collector and will be spending today posting new material and catching up on blog comments.

Advantages of Automatic Pet Feeder
The wake of new automation technologies in many appliances and devices has brought enormous benefits to pet lovers. This page will help you learn the several benefits enjoyed by other pet lovers with the automatic feeders, which might influence you to purchasing one. The advantages below show how the automatic feeders feed the pets, and most importantly give you control of the process.
Firstly, the device disassociates the owner from the pet food since it can automatically feed the pet without you being around. One scenario in which the problem solved by this benefit happens is where the pet owner is woken up inconveniently and in a tiring way so as to give food to the pets. The automatic pet feeder refills food for your pet when you are there or not.
As an important concern to the pet’s health, this device is able to measure the exact amount of food the pet needs per meal. According to the vet’s recommendation, pets should consume regular amounts of food for steady growth and development, and the amounts should also be increased steadily as they grow. With this behavior in place, the pets grow the right way, acquiring a good physical health which echoes the strength of the immune system. Also this prevents free feeding of the pet which causes overweight, which is the most likely thing as long as food is available in the feeder.
More to this, the automatic pet feeder has the capability of regulating the pet that eats from it in cases where there are more than one species of pets. With automatic feeders such as Sure Feed, it is possible to control the food each pet gets especially in scenarios where one of the pets is on a prescribed diet, or in a case where the pets are eating each other’s food.
Moving on, the automatic pet feeder assists in bettering the hygiene condition of the house, considering how bad it is to have food scattered in the house. The house remains clean since the automatic pet feeder gives out only small portions of food frequently, leaving no room for the pet to have some left overs to play with and spread all over.
Last of the benefits listed is that if you love your pet but you have busy days or are involved in a tough task, the automated pet feeder will help save your time. During the day, the pet owner need to worry not because the machine is automatic as long as the owner refills the food container and sets the time intervals needed to release the food.
The automatic pet feeder is the most reliable technology in feeding pets as it has many advantages.

|A very funny and light hearted book.
You aren't going to learn anything from this book. And that's okay. Sometimes it's nice to read something solely to brighten your mood.
This is a must read for cat lovers as it portrays many of the common experiences cat owners share (staring contests, the dangers of petting a cat's tummy, cat races at 3 a.m.).
The book is comprised of charts and comics, making it a very quick read.
Simple, yet delightful.

PLEASE NOTE: You will not find flashy photographs of our breeding stock’s AKC show or field championship wins nor brags about titles on any pages of our website. It is not our intention to appeal to show exhibitors nor field trial enthusiasts, both of whom comprise a very small fraction of the total Vizsla buying public. The focus of our kennel is ideally directed towards the weekend foot hunter and to a lesser degree, dog-experienced, active families in search of the ideal dog to adopt for their family. The Vizsla is not a dog suitable for a first time dog owner nor for someone who has not previously owned a hunting breed. But, experienced non hunting families looking solely for a pet and willing to make a concerted effort to train the pup at an early age, will be very pleased to know that of all the hunting breeds, the Hungarian Vizsla is the most loving and couch potatoey of them all when in the house ….exception…. be forewarned….once the door bell rings…be prepared for some exuberant action!
In Hungary, reputable Hungarian Vizsla breeders must jump through a lot more hoops than their AKC counterparts before they can breed their dogs and be allowed to officially register their puppies with the Hungarian Kennel Club. First, they must pass an official breed examination that includes careful verification they have a breed appropriate temperament and conformation. Next they must pass a hip x-ray evaluation and certification that rules out any sign of hip dysplasia. Additionally, both males and females must pass a comprehensive all day field hunting exam before being finally awarded Breeding Rights. Only after all these steps have been taken and passed, can progeny be registered with the Hungarian Kennel Club. This is done in Hungary because above all, the Vizsla is a hunting dog and is bred with that purpose in mind. The fact that he is also a fabulous family dog, is just icing on the cake!. Championship conformation titles are desired but not absolutely required to be awarded Breeding Rights in Hungary.
It’s a different story in the USA. Where most reputable breeders fall into the “part time” or “hobby breeder” category in the USA, top reputable European Breeders are into it “full time” because there is just so much more they must comply with to get Breeding Rights for their dogs and because they consider it their Profession, not their hobby. Our pedigrees, created by Hungarian Master Breeder professionals, reflect their intimate first hand knowledge of all the dogs listed in the pedigrees as well as their hard work, integrity and dedication to the Hungarian Vizsla breed not only because of their great love for the breed but also because the Vizsla has been an integral part of Hungarian culture for centuries and is a source of immense national pride to this day.
All Country of Origin Vizsla female breeding stock have outstanding pedigrees. They are OFA certified, have beautiful conformation, possess good breed appropriate temperaments and have proven natural hunting ability. All our dogs and puppies are AKC registered. In designing our kennel and breeding program, we try hard to follow the European model as closely as possible. We are a relatively new vizsla kennel and despite the extraordinary expenses and limitations of having a strictly European Vizsla kennel outside the European continent, we are achieving considerable success. That said, as EVERY breeder knows, there is no such thing as a “perfect” dog and Breeding is not an exact science.
This is our “founding bitch”:
Vadaszfai Citera, NAVHDA NA Prize II, JH, TT, CGC
Citera has outstanding conformation with a beautiful Hungarian head and correct “bread-crust” color. She measures 23.5 inches at the highest point of her shoulder and weighs 49 lbs. She is at the higher end of the breed standard of height for females. Both show and hunting bloodlines are in her pedigree.
Citeras OFA # VZ-12908G24F-VPI
Vadaszfai Citera’s Hungarian Pedigree is below:
The photo below is of Puszizoro Simon, Vadaszfai Citera’s grandfather. At over 10 years of age he hunted intensively and he was an absolutely healthy, well-balanced male with strong bones and very typical, beautiful head. He is on the cover of the booklet VCH ‘The Hungarian Vizsla’!
His mother’s litter mate, Kilátótéri Fürge Mokány, is very famous all over England and Hungary. The grandmother, Kávai Pompás, was the ‘star’ of the eighties. Simon’s father, Mátai Dudás was line bred to Mátai Csutka, who was the most successful bitch in hunting competitions and in the show ring in the 1980’s.

Still not convinced
Since the discovery of CBD in 1940 and the numerous health benefits it can offer, there has been an increased interest in how Hemp Oil can provide potential health benefits for humans and pets alike.
The ability of CBD oil to deliver a healthy dose of CBD that can interact with the cannabinoid receptors in dogs is highly commendable.
Living things, including dogs, depends on the proper functioning of the immune system to survive. CBD oil gives users a wonderful antimicrobial profile, which can inhibit the growth of pathogenic microorganisms, including candida.
The skin is rich with cannabinoid receptors that can interact with CBD to aid in the production of sleek, glossy, and healthy coat in dogs.
In fact, it can get rid of the peculiar pet odor and reduce the possibilities of allergic reactions in pets and pet owners.
CBD is very active in the provision of several health benefits, including brain health, digestive health, and healthy coat formation.
Notably, CBD is great for dogs battling osteoarthritis and other forms of chronic pain.

Your dog is much less a pet and far more a member of your family, and like humans, dog diseases are an important part of caring for your pet.
This site is dedicated to providing the information an owner would need to identify and learn about the treatment options available for common dog diseases. If you are asking yourself question such as; could you help her recover from common dog diseases? Do you know the warning signs of the most common canine diseases and disorders ? If these are your dog health questions, then this is the right place for you.
Top Causes of Dog Disease
According to a survey of dog health insurance companies, the leading causes of dog diseases and conditions are:
- Dog Skin Allergies
- Dog Ear Infections
- Stomach Upsets
- Dog Bladder Infections
- Benign Tumors
- Dog Arthritis or other joint diseases
- Dog Leg Sprains
- Dog Eye Infections
- Enteritis (dog diarrhea or intestinal inflammation)
- Canine Hypothyroidism
The best way to catch these common dog health problems before they become a major health issue is to schedule twice -yearly visits to your veterinarian. If you think about it, dog’s age much faster than people. Also always watch for changes in your dogs condition including signs of disease such as lethargy, changes in appetite, dog blood in urine or feces, diarrhea, frequent or infrequent urination, excessive licking, dog hair loss, and cough among others.
Common Dog Diseases and Related Symptoms
Degenerative Joint Disease
Some larger and older dogs are prone to degenerative joint disease, a progressive, incurable disorder that restricts your pooch’s everyday movement and activities. At its worst stages, DJD results in permanent lameness and can really only be helped by pain management. More importantly, make sure your dog’s weight is under control, because joint diseases can be very common in certain breeds and can nearly always cause lameness and may not be reversible. Some of these diseases are dog hip dysplasia, Osteochondrosis & Elbow dysplasia.
Are your dog’s teeth healthy?
You should also pay close attention to your dog’s body language and actions. If she’s doing any of the following, she may not be in top dental health, Halitosis (nastier breath than usual), extreme drooling, trouble swallowing, chattering teeth, hesitation to eat, tilting her head while eating & pawing at her mouth. If you notice any of these signs, try sticking to a good dental regimen for a week.
Keeping those pesky Parasites away from your Puppy or Dog
Every dog owner should watch for these dog symptoms if you believe that a parasite might be the cause. In general, it’s best to consult your veterinarian when choosing flea and tick preventatives for your dog.
- Fleas are one of the most common parasites pet owners must face. Begin by bathing your dog with a flea preventative, then apply the flea repellant recommended by your vet.
- Ticks love to feast on the blood of mammals and tend to hang out near ground level until they sense a shadow, vibration or heat, which find a suitable place on the host animal, the tick dives right through the skin and gorges itself. Their saliva can cause inflammations on the skin, but a more troubling problem is an infestation of several ticks, which can lead to anemia. In extremely bad cases, the poison in a tick’s saliva can cause paralysis, Lyme disease, and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. You should apply a flea and tick repellant recommended by your vet to your dog’s coat on a monthly basis if you live in an area where lyme disease in dogs is a problem.
- Mosquitoes can also be fatal for dogs since they’re carriers for heartworms and can infect your dog if she’s not on a heartworm preventative.
- Dog Ear Mites: Dark brown or black wax can be an indicator of dog ear mites. You can confirm this by running a cotton ball over the outer part of your dog’s ears, then holding the cotton ball against a dark piece of paper under a bright light. If you see any movement, your pup has ear mites. Speak with your vet to prescribe stronger washes and medications to get rid of the mites and their eggs as well as any secondary yeast infection they may have created.
- The other common parasites are worms:
- Roundworms: The most common worms are roundworms which can be avoided using regular worm preventative. The symptoms are “spaghetti stool” (feces that look like spaghetti), vomiting, or diarrhea.
- Hookworms are intestinal parasites that can cause anemia by sucking blood through the internal organs. As a result, diarrhea, weakness, and weight loss can occur. Hookworms are extremely easy for your pup to contract – they can move through their pads or belly into the body from the soil or grass or can be ingested.
- Heartworms (transmitted through mosquitoes and grow inside the heart until they completely block heart functions and lead to heart failure) are one of the most well-known internal parasites and can be easily prevented with a regular heartworm treatment. Symptoms are coughing, weight loss, and fainting can be indicators of heartworms. Be aware that if the winter in your area was mild, there could be more mosquitoes and cases of heartworm in dogs. Prevention is even more important with recent shortages in prescription heartworm medication in the United States and other countries.
Canine Diseases and Symptoms caused by Germs and Viruses
There are several types of viruses that can negatively impact your dog’s health.
- Blastomyces: keep out of shady areas beneath bird-packedtrees, because lack of germ-killing sunlight makes those spots a hotbed for germ activity. It may cause your dog bronchitis, pneumonia, or skin sores.
- Streptococci bacteria: If you notice sores on your pup’s skin that are raised and whitish or look as though they may contain pus, she may have a strep infection.
- Rhabdovirus: the virus that causes rabies
- Leptospira: keep your pup away from drinking from outdoor puddles which may contaminate bacteria
Here vaccination is the best way of preventing disease and infection. Many vets now offer extended release versions of more
common vaccines. Most vaccines are administered during the first year of life. After that you should need only 6-month or annual renewals.
- Parvovirus: spread through infected fecal matter, pups who have a nasty habit of eating other dogs’ feces are at high risk. Symptoms are diarrhea, stomach pain, vomiting, and lethargy. Dogs that go too long without treatment of symptoms such as dehydration can result in shock and death.
- Distemper: this disorder causes dog symptoms such as trigger seizures, convulsions, poor behavior and even blindness. Symptoms are fever, fatigue, vomiting and discharge from eyes and nose.
- Kennel Cough: can be distinguished from normal coughing through its dry, shallow honk. It was named because the disease is transmitted best in close quarters with poor ventilation, but many kennels today take great steps to preventing such conditions
- Rabies: dog rabies can turn your once sweet and harmless pet into a ferocious predator. There is no effective treatment for the virus, so vaccinations are especially important for rabies. It transmitted by saliva, usually through bites from wild animal such as raccoons and possums. If your dog is bitten by an animal you feel may carry the virus, wash the wound with soap and water (wear gloves!) and take her to the vet for a booster.
- Tetanus: it is common in nearly all warm-blooded animals and is most commonly contracted through the presence of soil in a deep wound. If the infection goes unnoticed and untreated, it can cause spasms, lockjaw, and even death. Routinely inspect your pup for cuts, scrapes and wounds is important to prevent tetanus.
- Canine Lyme Disease: carried by ticks, it is most common in heavily wooded areas in which ticks have access to a number of different animal hosts. Tick transmits the Lyme bacteria from the mouse through its saliva. Symptoms are fever, lameness, lethargy and weight loss. To prevent the disease, use regular tick preventative for your dog, but also make sure you run your hands through her coat and inspect her thoroughly after outdoor walks
