Is Your Dog Afraid of the Dark?

Is your dog afraid of the dark? I am often approached by clients and by readers of my website about what to do about their dog’s fears. Their dogs are afraid of loud noises, of slippery floors, of certain areas outside, of certain people, of certain situations.

If your dog has problems with fear the good news is that you can typically help to alleviate those fears with a keen understanding of the problem, good training, and a lot of patience.

The first thing to determine is why your dog has the fear that he does. Through my experience I have found that there are basically two main reasons why a dog has fears.

1. Genetics- Thanks to poor breeding practices many dogs nowadays are born with weak nervous systems. What that means is that a dog with a weak nervous system is less capable of processing new information in a quick and stable way. Whereas a normal dog may hear a loud noise and initially be startled but quickly recover, a dog with a weak nervous system is likely to be thrown into a tailspin. They are flooded with fear and take a disproportionate amount of time to recover. The same issue that doesn’t allow them to recover from a loud noise also makes it difficult to meet a new person, for example. To that dog, a new person is the unknown, and anything unknown is cause for fear. Genetics are genetics. There isn’t anything you can do to change the genetic makeup of a dog.

Your Dogs Skin - Something So Simple yet So Complex

A wrapping of fur is not all there is to your dogs skin. It is also a factory for vitamin D production, it protects the internal parts from injury, bacteria, and viruses, and it contains a sensory system that is unsurpassed. The network of skin nerve cells goes to work when your dog is cold, has a cut, or receives a pat on the heat. In cold weather, the hairs stand erect and form air pockets that insulate against the cold.

Healthy skin and hair coats are flexible, glossy, and free of excessive oiliness, redness, dandruff, scabs, eruptions, or parasites. Run you hand against the hair coat and check for growths or blemishes. There should also be no areas of hair loss. Each dog has its own shedding cycle, which may change from year to year. Some pets shed a small amount all the time, while others lose large clumps at various levels.

Pets can have freckles, concentrations of cells containing the brown pigment called melanin. These can be found anywhere on the skin and even in the mouth. Be sure to check the skin’s special alterations, the mammary glands, the foot pads, the claws, and whiskers.

Lyme Disease and Your Dog - A Deadly Combination

Lyme disease is primarily spread to both dogs and humans through the bite of an infected tick. Many different species of ticks can be involved, including the deer tick, the western black-legged tick, and the black legged tick. Ticks are tiny parasites that are difficult to see with the naked eye and can easily hide on people and pets.

Ticks, however, are not the only way the disease can be spread, fleas and other biting insects are capable of spreading it as well. There have been incidents in which Lyme disease has been transmitted by direct contact with infected body fluids. This ease of transmission has made Lyme disease one of the most commonly reported tick-borne diseases.

The symptoms of Lyme disease in dogs include lethargy, loss of appetite, high fever, swollen lymph nodes and joint, and/or a sudden onset of lameness. Veterinarians have the ability to test for this disease in house and should be consulted immediately if any of the symptoms develop. Rapid treatment of a diagnosed case of Lyme disease is essential to prevent permanent damage to the joints on internal organs.
