    How to determine a dog's age:
    1st year of a dog= 15 dog years
    2nd year of a dog= 9 more dog years (24)
    After each human year, add about 5 dog years*

                 -4 years=34 dog years

    Q&A:
    Use a calm, firm voice. Be patient and consistent. Use the phrase quiet and reward when dog isn't barking. Over time the dog will understand. Exercise your dog regularly. Provide toys, chew toys and puzzles. Provide a dog walker/companion and send dog to dog care a couple days a week to aid with anxiety. Block windows, doors and outdoor sights for dogs to reduce barking. Create a sitting/waiting space for your dog when guests enter your home.

    Q&A:
    Why does my dog whine all the time, when they are okay?:
    Reasons Why:
    1. Physical needs- Rule out any medical injuries or illness
    2. Mental needs- Anxiety and stress or outdoor distractions can cause whining
    3. Attention and Boredom needs-frustration from lack of exercise,attention and activity
    How To Minimize Whining:
    1. Ignore the Whining- no eye contact, turn your back, or remove yourself from the space.
    2. Don't scold- to a dog, any attention is better than no attention
    3. When giving attention, have your dog sit first- resets the focus elsewhere
    4. Reward calm behavior- reinforce good behavior, your dog will associate with it positively
    5. Plan ahead for prevention- have toys, chew treats, puzzles etc. available for distraction.
    MAKE SURE YOUR DOG IS PROPERLY EXERCISED!!!

    Q&A:
    Why do Dogs Circle Before They Handle "Business"? 3 Theories:
    1. The wolf Ancestor, circled to pat down the grass making it easier to release and make less of a mess.
    2. They leave behind their pheromones for other dogs.
    3. They align themselves to the magnetic fields of the North-South directional pull.

In Q&A I will answer the question: What is the proper way to clean my dog's ears?

    Five Steps to Understanding Your Pubescent Puppy:
    1. Bond during their puberty time.
    2. By 8 months, teething has stopped. Know what kind of chewer your puppy is.
    3. Teen pups have different sleep schedules.
    4. Teen pups are more interested in walks.
    5. Your puppy's socialization skills are crucial during this time. Cultivate them.

    https://www.k9ofmine.com/diy-dog-puzzlety-toys/

    Q&A:
    How to Clean Your Dog's Ears:
    1. Assemble your supplies and your dog. (Do it in a easy clean up space. Use a towel!)
    2. Squeeze ear-cleaning solution to fill your dog’s ear canal and massage gently at the base of the ear for about 30 seconds
    3. Let your dog shake his head. Clean out remaining solution and dirt gently with a cotton ball or gauze.

    Gecko Trouble Shooting Shedding Tips:
    1. Feed a high protein diet of mainly live crickets
    2. Moisturize their habitat, by creating a sauna: spray tank, the gecko and under the rock
    3. Give gecko a warm bath, once skin is soft, gently help peel off skin
    4. Leave skin in tank and provide extra calcium such as Repti-cal in the tank.
    5. Remember: leaving skin toes can cause them to fall off. Keep an eye out after 72 hours if skin is still present.
    6. Reach out to your exotic vet if all else fails, and check to see if there isn't an underlying issue.
