- In this video, we’ll look at 23 dog life hacks for dog owners to help give your pup better life and make things easier on you.
Prevent chewing
If your pup chews your furniture or cables, spray them with bitter apple. The smell and taste of bitter apple discourage dogs from chewing them.
Freshen their Breath
Parsley is a well-known remedy for bad breath-for both people and dogs. It gets rid of the nasty bacteria that causes bad breath.
If you add a little parsley to your dog's food, it could help to combat stinky dog mouth.
Brushing their Teeth
If your dog is reluctant to do their dental diligence, squeeze some doggie toothpaste onto your pup’s favorite rope or chew toy. This will help to rub the toothpaste on your dog’s teeth and keep their mouth clean and healthy without the hassle of having to brush it yourself.
Eliminate Urine Stains and Odors
Baking soda naturally neutralizes odors. If your dog has peed on carpet, simply sprinkle some baking soda or even an old urine stain, and then vacuum it up to remove the smell or stain completely.
Chicken Popsicle
On hot summer days, you can keep your dog cool and treat them with a healthy and tasty summer treat. Simple fill up an ice cube tray with beef or chicken stock and let your dog enjoy a nice frozen treat.
Your Sign
Print a list of foods that dogs shouldn't eat. It's an excellent reminder and comes in handy when you have a dog sitter.
Protecting their paws
Exposure to winter’s cold and chilly rain, sleet and snow can cause chapped paws and flaking skin. Winter walks can also become dangerous if chemicals from de-icing agents are licked off of bare paws.
Booties help minimize contact with painful salt crystals, and massaging petroleum jelly or Vaseline into paw pads before going outside helps to protect them from salt and chemical agents.
Digging Box
You can keep your garden safe by designating certain areas for digging, or teaching your dog to use their very own digging box.
Shower Cap
Water and soap can irritate a dog’s sensitive ears and eyes. Use a shower cap to keep them protected during the bath time.
Pool party
Many dogs love swimming or hanging out in a doggy pool. Fill an inflatable pool with cool water on hot summer days and stock it with some fun toys.
Music
Classical music can help us relax and decrease our stress levels, but recent studies have shown that certain classical music soothes your pet too. Playing music reduces stress in dogs, lowers their respiratory rates and reduces barking. If your dog barks excessively, or is anxious, use music to calm them down.
Easy hair removal
To remove doggy hair from your carpet or sofa, simply put a pair of rubber gloves on and dampen them. Rub the gloves back and forth on your upholstery. This will cause the hair to ball up, and then you can remove the hair in one simple clump.
You can also use a window squeegee to remove dog hair from your couch, carpet, and car seats.
Force a Dog Throw Up
If your dog has eaten something harmful that they shouldn’t have, like raisins or chocolate, use hydrogen peroxide to make them throw up.
Easy tick removal
Apart from using tweezers, you can apply a glob of liquid soap to a cotton ball, and cover the tick with the soap-soaked cotton ball. Then swab it for a few seconds. The tick will come out on its own and be stuck to the cotton ball when you lift it away.
Downhill Fetch
If it takes a lot to tire your dog out, you can play a game of downhill fetch. Throw the ball down the hill and your dog runs down and back up to retrieve it.
Say goodbye to fleas
Dawn soap breaks down fleas’ exoskeletons, killing them almost instantly. Give your dog a Dawn dish soap bath if they have fleas.
You can also spray apple cider vinegar on your dog’s coat to get rid of fleas. The odor of apple cider vinegar makes dogs less attractive to fleas.
Thunderstorms
In a thunderstorm, it is likely that your pup is more afraid of the weird static building up in their coat than the bright lightnings and loud thunders. Use a dryer sheet to get rid of static electricity in your dog’s coat.
Dog’s scratching post
If you don’t want to trim your dog’s nails, attach sandpaper to a piece of wood and teach your dog to trim their own nails.
Fast Eating Dog
Does your dog scarf down their food too often?
Unfortunately, eating too quickly isn’t good for digestion as it can cause choking, gagging, and vomiting.
The good way to slow down the eating is to put a tennis ball in their food bowl. As silly as it may sound, the tennis ball will force your dog to move it constantly to get to the food; therefore, slowing down their meal time.
Play Hurt
Instead of chasing your dog when they get loose, lie down and pretend to be injured. Your dog will run back to make sure you're okay.
Pillow case bed covers
Use pillowcases to cover your pup’s beds and mats. That way, you can just slip the pillow case off and wash it. - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Brandon mcmillan is the most gentle, thorough and effective dog i've ever encountered. My friend and i love the dog show and never miss it. So many times we've shed a tear of happiness just seeing a dog's life changed forever when proper training is applied and they go on to live their lives the way they should. I have brandon's book th-cam.com/users/postUgkxK8-VQWpYThx4IC6MiIvb6VS1ebTzzdxq in two formats. Not only the paperback version but also the kindle version to refer to when i don't have the paperback along with me. I have used his methods with my cavalier kc spaniel and turned a non-disciplined furbaby into a companion who has traveled thousands of miles with us across the country. He is a near perfect dog thanks to brandon's methods. I don't get one cent of kickback for recommending brandon but i do it because i love dogs. They deserve to be given a chance. Brandon's mission in life - to rescue dogs and place them in a forever, happy home - is very dear to my heart. I recommend his methods to anyone who has a dog - young or old. I've seen him take even old dogs and teach them. Brandon was an animal trainer before his current mission. His parents were animal trainers. His methods are the best i've ever found. Your furbaby will thank you for spending the money on this book. Don't hesitate - it is worth every cent.
Some times my dog is coming himself to me, to brush his teeth. It s so funny, he is smiling :))
Lucky u 😒
My dog loves to get his teeth brushed too lol
@@dianafritz3117 So does mine. 🐕😊
Thank you
The Guide elaborates on the techniques used on the show. The examples given in the th-cam.com/users/postUgkxECnmSvBSv_NGWx4_ChD73pF3NYZwI2F3 are helpful and some of the techniques suggested very useful. One such technique/tool suggested was the lure stick to encourage a small dog to keep up with the heel command. I have a small dog who lags behind smelling any and everything and find it hard to keep bending over while walking to his level. The lure stick is great also for another dogs focus and sprinting at anything that catches her eye. The stories about different dogs, their different temperaments, have been helpful, especially Lulu's: After reading about Lulu's challenges I felt relief concerning one of my rescues that I have had for 10 years. Over many years I have checked out many training books from the library, watched different shows, DVDS, bought training books, taken lessons and this book is the best by far! Kindness, patience and perseverance works.
I listen to loads of metal. So my dog is used to that music genre. I just learned to scream just like the vocalists in metal and my dog responses by wagging his tails and getting excited. He is even happy when i scream while i am petting him. Just amazing how he responds to it XD
Omg xddd
I do the same. My dog know it's me when I pull up while blasting Despised Icon.
This one time I played a single note on my piano, and our maltipoo came running and he just sat there waiting for more
Yeah, back when my golden retriever was alive, she would always watch me play the piano
@@mechadoggy aww I hope you are doing better
Same my dog watches me when i play harmonium, harmonica or guitar!! Btw my dog howls n sings with me when i play harmonica 😂😂
My dog tried to cover his ears when I played😢
what note was it?
I’m so entertained by how much these sound like Richard Ayoade
Haha appt on, I'm imagining him narrating this now 😂
My dog likes when I sing to her. (FYI I do not have a good singing voice. She just loves me)
1:05 That lab,' Listen, we have talked about this.'
Lol 😂
Good one! Lol
Thank you it was helpful
Shower cap on dog's head.... great tip. I can already tell you she's going to FREAK OUT but hey it's worth a try!
Very good video, Thankyou!❤🐶🐕🐕
Love from India 😘😘😘😘
I have been using baking soda mixed in water to wipe the floor, and on doormata...really good
Fill a air pool your pup will love you
My dogs: bites pool and wastes a hundred dollars
Very practical and helpful advice.
Thank you😊😊
Excellent ideas. Thank you for sharing them.
Omgggg thanks so much this was so helpful for my bulldog he is just 6months old and sheds ALOT
It's really helpful...mine is beagle one and he bites each and every thing in our house..but never listen to us...he is two months old only so we are facing all these issues...but love him alot and will follow your advice...
Puppies tend to bite when they're younger when they grow up they don't anymore
These are great tips!! Let me tell my mom now!!
Sweetheart, is your mom aware that you have been watching youtube? 😂
I get to watch you tube when "She's in time out!".
I'm told my mom already.
.
Bruhhhhhhh.
@@laurasigala1340 he’s talking about beacuse he’s a dog
It's really helpful, thank you for this video.
Thank you it's very helpful.
i was chasing my dogs up a bank on a wet day when i slipped and fell. by the time i sat up both were by my side.
Aww 🥺
You don't cuddle your dog to calm down when he's in fear. You only reinforce his state of mind. You correct his nervous behaviour and when he's calm you cuddle.
You can't reinforce an emotion you should indeed comfort a dog
Would you comfort a scared child or wait til theyre calm
@@LilFoxyCosplay you don't know much about dogs and children. You are wrong about that.
Thanks for shared this tips for dogs safety food and ect ! Noted
Yes
wow idk the parsley thing
cool!
Good video
Him: dogs can't jump as high
Pitbulls: am I a joke to you
2:35 look at him! In his wee lil boots!
Making ice cube treats from broth or stock is a delicious treat! Just make sure you choose SALT FREE stocks and broths!
Yes, but these must be given outside, unless you don't mind getting your floors dirty!
You bet! Puddles all over my hardwood floors are a hard "nope"! 😆
Yes. Stock is loaded with sodium.
@4:12 to remove dog hair from fabric (clothes, cat seats, duvets and so on) use a strip of sellotape
Perfect....
Be careful using Vaseline or oil ect... on your fur babies paws! Making them to soft can create injuries that cause infection. Product that’s all natural is mushers paw. Withstand cold & heat under your loved ones feet🐾🐾💜Puppy power🐾🐾💚
Never heard of Musher’s Paw. Thank you! 🙂
Thank u for these hacks
this video is boujie i love it
Brushing our dogs teeth was a nightmare. He hated it and it was impossible to do without the vets help. He had to be sedated to get his teeth cleaned. We tried teeth cleaning bones and treats but he just buried them in the yard.
Downhill fetch can be hard on a dog's leg joints. Better to have the dog sprint uphill after the ball and then they will cruise back down, placing less pressure on the joints.
My Keeshond LOVES ice. So I freeze blueberries in them!!
*when you're dog LOVES the smell and taste of bitter apple* 👁👄👁
😂
Dog: runaway
Me: play hurt
Dog: run away faster 😏
It was the pillowcase over the dog’s bed for me.. not to make washing easy.. but because he keeps digging scratching and biting it till the inside fluff comes out 😅😃👍🏻 so he won’t have access to the sewing.. why didn’t I think of that before?? I would usually cover it with something but he would removed the cover to get to the edges! Oh n the ball in the plate as well is good 👍🏻🙃 thanks!
Dawn dish soap does not kill fleas. My girlfriend used it on her Chihuahua and it didn't work.
some essential oils work really well.
Well that was helpful
THAT DIG HAS TWO TONGUES!!! 2:06
For the pupsicles make sure the stock doesnt have onion in it
Yes that's right.
4:40 also make them eat grass that makes them throw up
Usually cats do that
@@e_17_aasthachitroda17 really? Lemme search it
My dog eats grass all of the time. It helps dogs purge. The point is not to give them too much of it.
@@cancionesfavoritas11 I know
Doesn’t it help in digestion
my dog goldie is gonna have a great feast tonight
I’m going to get a Yorky soon
THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS REALLY HELPED ME AND NOW MY DOG IS BEHAVING BETTER AND ITS GETTING USED TO ALL OF THIS :DA
Same my nanna has a bulldog
like your accent
If I put a tennis ball in my dog's food bowl, she would just take it out and continue eating lol
I’ve heard a lot of people say dogs don’t like to be hugged psssshhhhh yeah ok you haven’t met my Lucky he loves getting hugs from his daddy melts my heart every time. He’s a Half Bassett Hound Half St Bernard but looks like a giant Bassett Hound anyone else get that starved for attention thing with either breed or mixed?
“Dogs love to swim.” Then why have my 4 dogs (past and present) hate water!?
Have they gotten positive interaction with water from when they were small puppies?
certain breeds like water certain don't
@@lophiile Yeah that's true. Bit if it gets a negative asotiacion it will fear or get scared while trying to get it in there
Swimming and bathing them are different
And yeah depends on every other dog
The tick hack is very useful cause many time plucking them can leave the tick head in their skin
Never use tweezers to remove a tick. Go to the pet shop now and get a TICK HOOK. Then learn how to use one. Tweezers can cause the tick to spit parasite infested blood from other animals back into your dog. Video on this page, ignore the 404, the tick stuff is in the page footer: www.blacklabradorpuppies.co.uk/remove%20a%20tick
We have a Britney spaniel and we love her and forts and our dog also loves forts .

Do NOT cuddle your dog when they're scared. It's very very hard not to but you're just re-enforcing their fears. Instead: create a small dark place they can hide in to and ignore them. In time they will look at you when they're scared and when they see you continuing your normal tasks they will calm down.
Do a video about pregnant dogs care please plz plz
The ball in the dish bowl trick wont work on my 2 boys. The just grab it and take it out of the bowl.
Hey I've gone through some methods.
Big dog bowl, get wet food and smoosh it into the sides of inside of the bowl and put a small bowl in the middle (give it a little wiggle as the water retention helps it stay there)
If that dosnt work u can get a dog bowl that when u turn it upside down it kinda looks like a bowl with a bowl inside. Then when the dog learns to eat slower just flip it over .
Another trick is to get some hard food that u know for sure ur dog dosnt like , maybe potatoes (very important dog dosnt eat the potatoes) mix that into food and they will avoid the potatoe)
Now if u can't get this to work then u will need patience , when it's feeding time u sprinkle a small ammount of food in the bowl, when they are done u sprinkle the same ammount, sometimes take a few second break before sprinkling more food. Make sure that feeding times are strict and dogs don't go to eachother bowls. (This will ensure that they learn food comes from u when u say so helping them feel that food always comes and no need to quickly eat incase someone else eats it)
I'd love to help properly but for that I would need to know so many more factors, like are both dogs just as fast , do u share the house with other ("competing") animals , age, how the boys compete with eachother , breed ect.
The last suggestion should work but may take a month or so
My chihuahua absolutely hates her feet touched. I can only imagine the hysteria if I put boots on her ! Lol 😂
My puppie Jupiter is trying to dig through my kitchen floor. 🤣 nobody tell him he can't hes still trying
He is trying to find his buried friend
@@Ankushdas2001 he doesn't have any friends
@@fionadraws3147 i have a stray that i got from a garden. His name is JoJo. He would very much like to befriend him.
@@Ankushdas2001 today we brought him and his brother to meet gidet. Gidets a really fat golden retriever
Gidet gets annoyed at them 😂
My dog does not like lemons so we spray lemon juice on stuff we do not want him to chew it plus makes our furniture smell good.
7:34 or a slow feeding bowl.
Yes but I think the purpose of the Video is showing hacks to solve those Problems without buying something
Tennis ball solution only works for Large dogs who are eating dry food. There are special inserts for dog bowls to reduce fast food eating.
Thank you for all the useful tips. We just welcome a puppy into our home. She is adorable and playful pup. Just subs your channel for more useful info.
The moment you said i needed to brush my dogs teeth i immediately ordered online😃 i did not know
Dawn Dish soap is not good to use on a regular basis for your dog skin. I know this from experience. Instead, try using an all natural dog shampoo plus a conditioner with flea repellent like Cedar. You can even use an Apple cider vinegar and water spray for fleas.
Horse Mane shampoo and conditioner works great in my experience. Like 5 bucks for each big bottle.
For digging, I found if you put their poop in the hole and burry it they won't dig there anymore
Dont give your dog Ice cubes or frozen stuff. Or stuff that is hot because their internal organs are a specific temperature and are not designed to cope with food that is extreme low or high temperature and it will make them vomit. And if they dont vomit it back up, it just wont do their stomach and gut any good. Feed dogs food that is room temperature or either a little warm or a little cool depending on what kind of food it is. The same goes for water, dont give really cold water to your dog it is too much of a shock to their system. Cool water is ok cold is not
It is okay to give them cold stuff if they are hot.
Who cares
@@VARVIS_ I care😤
I freeze home-made bone broth for my dogs all the time and add a cube to their meals. They have never thrown up from it. I also add crushed ice to their water bowls in the summer to help keep them cool. They love it and always want to eat the ice, and again, have never thrown up.
@@themamabearlife3339 My 12 y/o Staffy has always loved a bit of ice, most dogs love to eat snow when it's around. People are just massively misinformed on just about everything these days and are to quick to believe everything they read online. Even these videos have many unnecessary bits of advice and even some information that is just untrue.
I have a dog he's name is Johnny he is so cute ❤️❤️
my dog like to eat milk and bread
my dog loves to eat dogs named johnny.
7:15 nope slow feeders are the best thing to do
You can also just dump It on the floor.
They are a lot of work🤪
I used baking soda and distilled vinegar mix with water to pour in dogs peeing erea
I have a chocolate lab, whenever it comes to take him a bath he runs away under the bed
Hey dude , had a similar issue . What u wanna do is gather ur patience, get some special treats that doggo only gets during shower time. Ur ready for positive association training. Start with just being bathroom and giving treats . Nothing more, once the dog has confidence in the bathroom then start by jumping in and out of the bath and treats , no running water yet , then once u can see ur dog is confident with this add running water , don't shower them yet, u can use a cloth , moisten and wipe ur doggo, once this is confident then u can start slowly by showering .
It's easier with 2 ppl, lots of praise and treats for each step ur doggo takes that goes being their comfort zone. Don't push them, let them make the decision themselves with a little guidance with the treat. As I said u need patience. Dog training is rarely fast so don't be disheartened if doggo isn't ready in a week for a full shower comfortably
My dog would actually scream and run then hide. I felt like a terrible person. He doesn’t scream any longer but really doesn’t like bath time.
You did a good job giving a lot of good info but one you didnt mention you talked about the snow an how bad for them but you didnt talk about the hot black top on their feet i have checked how hot it gets add that to a video ty
That tick... You can see it moving. yikes that freaks me out. Goodness me I hope my doggo doesn't end experience a tick.i wonder how effective that tip it must work other wise it wouldn't be mentioned. Ok enough talk about ticks. Giving me the goose bumps 😳😲
"downhill fetch" thank you very much but I live in the bloody Netherlands and that is pretty much damn impossible
Acv reduces bubbles so if you mix acv & dawn you can do 2 things at once to get rid of fleas.
Letting them have sticks in the house means they chew on those instead of wood furniture. I know by experience.
Really! sticks are not great anyway, they splinter and cut up their gums (rotten soft wood will clean their teeth well though), you can just give them a denta stick. If you distract from bad behaviour and reward good behaviour from a pup, they won't be chewing anything.
i know it wont work because my chairs and walls and some floor tiles are wood
Tbh, you can still take off ticks with your finger, if you have long nails /sharp nails, get your nail right at the area where it's biting and and just scratch it off, usually it'll still have a piece of skin flake on it's mouth

I think the "playing music" part is true. We play BTS songs everyday, and he seems to enjoy it and sleeps well.
Bruhhhhhhh BTS or music is dangerous for dogs. They have more sensitive ears. And can suffer from side effects from the cringe.
@@PK-lo6ws Did the dog tell you?
@@queenemilyaaa4069 yesm

There are occasions when Bitter Apple can mark the best stuff for chewing. They can acquire a taste for Bitter Apple so don't over use it.
Bicarbonate of soda or baking powder? (UK 🇬🇧 here) thanks xx
this guy really said uraine stain bruhhhh
My dog just takes the ball out of her bowl before eating.
Does the tick removal process work with human as well?
Nice hacks
I used to have to put my doggies food in oven to get them to eat dogfood. Cause best food comes out of oven
My dogs name's are Marley and coco/been/cocadoodl
But so what's the best classical music to listen to for dogs?? Anyone know or have suggestions
Classic rock
What was the tick removal technique which liquid you used
Soap
Noooooo soap bad . Soap can make the tick puke inside ur dog or salvate extra which is the same bad. U can't suffocate the tick it takes 3-15 breaths an hour . Get urself a tick laso or learn to use special tick tweezers , lyme disease is deadly to dogs and any stuff coming out of the tick into the dog is a risk of lyme disease
My dog hates boots ;-;
fucking crazy world . some people dont eat but dogs have a pool !
I’m pretty sure you are NEVER supposed to give ice to your dog (choking hazard).. just frozen treats to combat the heat
Better frozen treats alternatives then salty stocks frozen
.just ice (My dog loves just ice)
.frozen meat chunks, chicken hearts ect
.frozen bones (lamb,beef,deer,horse are all good raw) (infact if u pop down to the local butcher u might get some bones free)
.bood cubes
Some dogs like vegetables too
Frozen Carrots or broccoli are good to give to ur dogs ,but only as treats on occasion ,few times a week eg.
With all these healthier options why choose salty stocks
These are excellent suggestions! Thank you
I personally have to watch my salt intake. There are plenty of chicken and beef broth brands that are unsalted.
i couldn”t understand about fleas. what should i use?
It is a dish soap called DAWN.
