Many people believe that some dogs are not capable of having puppies, but this is simply not true! There are many ways different breeds of dog have babies, and it is more popular than ever to see dogs who give birth. It is even possible for some canine parents to watch their baby grow via ultrasound!

When measuring your dog’s height, make sure you do so correctly to get an accurate measurement. There are several ways to measure dogs, but none of them are definitive! Some people use their elbow as their reference point while others use their knee or foot.

The toys that dogs play with are very diverse, from expensive designer dog toys to more cost-effective doggy treats or toys you make yourself! Most puppies start off playing with things like small plastic boxes or empty bowls before moving onto something bigger and more elaborate.

Most people believe that if your dog has never been exposed to a rabid animal, then it cannot get rabies. This is false! Many dogs have what are known as latent (or dormant) infections with rabies virus.

The term “docking” refers to when dog owners remove the hair that grows out from underneath of the tail. This is usually done before pictures or videos, so people do not have to see the bald spot.

Some breed dogs are naturally haired tails which look nice, but this is not always the case! Many breeds have a coat under their tail which can be longer, thinner, and/or curly. If you ever find yourself wondering why there is no beautiful tailcoat for your puppy, it might be due to docking.

Recent research suggests that it is possible to teach almost any behavior to most dogs in just two weeks if you use a systematic, reward-based approach.

The term “reward” can mean many things to different people depending on what type of dog training you are looking into. For some, it means food or play sessions for good behaviors, while others may use praise as a form of reward.

Recent studies have shown that dogs learn how to walk by watching us. When they see us walking our dog, they too pick up some tricks! This is called observational learning or social teaching.
