What is paper training And at what age can you put a staffordshire bull terrier pup to sleep outside2007-11-25 2:52:30

If he shows any sign at all of illness, take him to a vet immediately.

Hot weather tips:

Dogs do not sweat except through footpads. They pant to rid themselves of excess heat.

A dog鈥檚 normal body temperature is 100.5 to 102.5 compared to our 98.6. If you鈥檙e hot, you can only imagine how hot your dog is! Short-nosed breeds like Pugs and Bulldogs are prone to heat stress. Arctic breeds like huskies and malamutes have thick double coats built for cold winters not hot summers. Other breeds like Dalmatians and light color-coated dogs can get easily sunburned. Keep your dog cool by bringing him inside into the air conditioning. If you must keep him outdoors be sure he has plenty of cold water, shade, shelter and a kiddie pool to cool off in.

He has to have access to shade at ALL times and cold, clean water at ALL times.

Please, please reconsider.

Paper-training is teaching a dog to go on newspapers on the floor.

The more effective method of house training is using a dog crate when the pup is unsupervised.

Most dogs will not eliminate in their "den" by the time they're ten to twelve weeks old. Thus the crate training uses a natural inhibitor the dog has to help you control when and where they potty.

It has the additional benefit of keeping puppy out of trouble and safe when you're not there to keep an eye on them.

Its far better to prevent chewing, counter surfing and tearing things up than it is to correct the pup when you come home for doing what comes naturally to him and to make sure he's not eating electrical cords, houseplants and other things that can be dangerous to him.
