There’s more to housebreaking a dog then many pet owners are prepared for. It requires commitment, discipline, patience and consistency. By following the steps set forth below, you can minimize piddles on the carpet, but every puppy or newly housetrained adult dog will have an accident, and likely several. The more consistent you are in these housebreaking procedures, the quicker the puppy will learn the desired behavior. Effectively housebreaking a puppy will usually take several weeks, and small breeds sometimes take longer.

A broken leg is the most common fracture in animals and commands immediate attention. The dog’s leg must be straightened and immobilized. Anxiety over doing this must be put aside. Just do it for the sake of the pet. A splint is required, and one can be fashioned from a trellis slat, a yardstick, or a tine from a rake. The leg must be tied both above and below the break to the splint and secured with anything that will hold it in place securely until the dog can be transported to the vet.
Porcupines are common in many U.S. states and in all parts of Canada. They will tease a dog into attacking them, and when the unlucky pet takes the bait he will find his mouth and body full of porcupine quills. Quills are attached to the porcupine’s skin, much like a hair but not deeply rooted, and has small reverse barbs near the sharp tip of the shaft. When a quill penetrates the skin of the victim, the muscle movements draw it deeper, and the angle at which the barbs are set prevent it from backing out of the flesh. Hunters are commonly faced with the dilemma of how to remove porcupine quills from dog tissue.

My sister has an adorable little chihuahua named Tinkerbell, named after Paris Hilton’s famous pet. Tinkerbell is tiny, affectionate and faithful, however, she is definitely unlike any dog we’ve ever encountered before. She is more similar to a very spoiled, yet fashionable child. Her wardrobe of small dog clothes is so extensive that she puts my modest collection of clothing to shame.

Even when fed poor diets, dogs are generally free from dental cavities. One study revealed that only 5.8 percent of teeth examined in dogs contained cavities. And many of the teeth that were found to have cavities were so loose and had such extremely receded gums that those teeth were for the most part useless to the dog anyway.
It is remarkable how few dogs have dental problems as the direct result of malnutrition during their development growth stages. Abandoned dogs, and the offspring of abandoned dogs that have never had the benefit of human care, that appear to be emaciated or malnourished will generally be found to have teeth that are as good or better than pets that have been spoiled.
