Dog's Love

Dog's Love

When we think of love, a common image that comes to mind is many people surrounding a small puppy with their arms wrapped around its body and the puppy licking its owner's face. While this imagery describes a fairly common scene, loving your dog is much more than a matter of affection. It is responsible for providing your dog with love and care that will develop into a positive relationship between dog and owner.

Unfortunately, not all dogs view the world the same way as we do. Some dogs need extra attention to ensure that they are well cared for.
To properly care for your dog and develop a loving relationship with it, you must understand your dog's physiological needs. Dogs require physical activities to stay healthy and happy. You should provide your dog with playtime, clean food, and water regularly. Doing so will keep your dog fit and strong and will prevent diseases from plaguing your dog's body.

Another important factor to consider when caring for your dog is its psychological needs. Your dog sees its owner as a source of comfort and security. The first thing you should do when training your dog is to set up an environment where it feels safe and loved. One excellent place to start is by providing it with its own play area where it can play and run around with other dogs. Ensure that there is plenty of room for your dog to run around, but keep in mind that your dog needs to have enough space to play because when it's playing, it will be thinking, and what it needs is a quiet place to rest. A large amount of space will also discourage large, destructive dogs from jumping up on your guests or owners.

Providing your dog with exercise will help him or her live a longer life and maintain healthy body weight. Playing in the sand, running around in the neighborhood, or taking walks are all excellent exercise forms for dogs. Exercise also helps burn off excess calories, which leads to weight loss. The more your dog has exercised, the happier and healthier he or she will be. This also contributes to the well-being of your dog's mind, body, and soul.

A dog's love for their owner is expressed in many ways, including sleeping on the owner's bed, eating meals out of the meal plate, grooming their owner, playing with the dog, and sleeping in bed next to their owners. A dog that is well cared for will have these behaviors. A healthy and emotionally fit dog will display these same emotions in his or her body as well.

There is a specific type of dog known as a social dog, which was bred specifically for the purpose of companionship. Social dogs crave their human companions' companions and will go out of their way to establish a relationship with their owners. This means that a dog's love towards you is not purebred, but it comes from the mutual care you provide for each other. If you are not a very close friend of your dog, there are still ways that you can show your dog your love. One of the best ways is to play with him or her and spend time together.

As stated before, dogs are used to human companionship, which is why it is important to make a significant other feel needed when they enter the relationship. A dog's love towards their owner comes from how much the owner needs them. Establishing this need to your dog will result in the best outcome for the two of you.
Lastly, dogs are social animals. They will follow their owners around, be curious about their surroundings, and look to find food, affection, or attention. A dog that has fulfilled its natural instinct to serve humans will look to them for company and be happy to please them. If a dog loves its master, it will be content no matter what by its side because it knows that its duty is done.

Facts About Rottweiler - Paws and Me

Facts About Rottweiler - Paws and Me

Driving cattle was Rottweiler's main historical job. Rottweilers had another historic job than going cattle to their butcher. It is a similar job that the Swiss Mountain Dogs and Bernese Mountain Dogs, also in the Working group, are best known. Well, you see, like their Swiss cousins, Rottweilers are drovers that were somewhat also utilized as draft dogs for centuries.

While the breed's main job was herding large livestock, they were quite often used to pull smaller carts, carrying things such as milk.

Now, why were dogs, such as Rotties, commonly used as draft animals instead of a horse, which could certainly handle a more significant burden? There are many reasons, to begin with. Most of those reasons lead straight back to the fact that a dog was the more economical choice under the circumstances.

For the most part, draft dogs were given jobs by small farmers. Perhaps it could be a family with a handful of dairy cattle or a few chicken houses. Or maybe they were subsistence farmers, who used crops for themselves and could only spare a limited amount for selling. Nonetheless, in most cases, these were not big landowners. They did not have a considerable amount of products to take to market, and they did not have enough money to invest. No matter what era in history we are referring to, it has always been more affordable to buy a good dog than a good horse. 

Let's look at the situation of a small dairy farmer. A horse would be using the same area as his cows, eating the same grass and grain. His choice might come down to whether he wants a horse or if he wants to add another cow to his existing herd and increase the milk his farm produces.

On the other hand, a dog will not consume the same amount of food that a horse would. And obviously, the dog wouldn't be intruding on the cattle's food supply. While they are usually considered carnivores, dogs have some omnivore tendencies. The farmer could easily feed them a serving of whatever his family was enjoying eating that evening. Also, a dog could supplement its meals by hunting vermin or pests around the compound.

In the case of Rottweilers, the dog could serve several purposes. Rottweiler could be used to herd cattle from the pasture to the barn and pull the milk to the market and other places. The protective nature makes him an excellent farm guardian, as well.

In addition to those reasons for a dog is preferred, there were also health issues to consider. People who know much about horses can tell you, the term "healthy as a horse" is a bit deceptive. Horses are susceptible to animals. Too much munching on grass in the spring, and they can founder and go lame. An abrupt change in the type or amount of grain can make them get colic and possibly go ill and die. As for a farm, a dog would be much more challenging (the term "sick as a dog" is also deceptive). Well, let's not forget that you don't usually need to shoe a dog.

In the late 19th century, railroads almost put the nail in the coffin of southern Germany's drover dogs. It soon became illegal to drive cattle for long distances. Rottweilers still had their secondary job of draft dog available to them for several years afterward.

Unfortunately, though, they soon lost that job too. Donkeys became more commonly used than dogs as the "beasts of burden." A donkey is able to eat the same food a horse would; because of its size, it doesn't need as much. Also, they are much tougher than horses.

In comparison to dogs, a donkey could pull much more weight. It could also be ridden, and even the biggest Rottie is not capable of doing so. Similar to llamas, donkeys are quite a good livestock protector, too. They are mercilessly chasing away anything that seems like a predator.

As with herding, the Rottweiler can still be used for carting. Instead of occupation, carting is now considered a fun hobby for both dog and owner.
