We noticed my dog has been itching under his neck for a while now...when we feel it there is nothing there...but he seems quite uncomfortable. It's not fleas, because he's only irratated in one place. Can dogs get mosquito bites? If there was a bite there..what could we do to help it?

Dogs can get bitten by mosquitos you just don't see it as much as they have grey skin. My bullterrier has pink skin and the bites really show up on him and i have never seen a bite on my yorkie. It could also be a tick or fleas fleas tnd to bite around the neck area, the bum and the upper back. Why not take your dog to the vet to check it out i think it would be the best solution!

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU0VV
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

They can be bitten by mosquitoes, this is how heartworm is contracted by dogs. However it sounds far more likely that your dog has an ear infection. She needs to be taken to the vet and swab taken to find the cause of the infection. It's probably yeast or bacteria or a combination of both. The dog needs to be treated. Untreated ear infections are not only extremely painful, which is why your dog is scratching her ear and rubbing her face, but they can cause rupture of the ear drum and permanent deafness. The dog needs appropriate antibiotic ear drops for the particular infection she has.

Dog Training is all about getting your canine to behave well, but some people do it for sports and other entertainment purposes. Some of the other reasons people train their dogs are:
It rewarding since you get a sense of accomplishment once a dog can do something new.
It is a good opportunity to bond with the dog - this is important for the dog and for the owner.
You can make money when you train dogs as a business or for sport.
Training the dog is fun and it challenges the owner and the dog.
Different trainers have different techniques for training their canine. However, some techniques are more effective than others. To learn about the best techniques, visit a registered dog trainer, talk to a veterinarian, or do online or offline research.
There are several types of training that you, or a professional, can explore to train dogs and these are:
1) Behavior and obedience training: One training that is universal is behavior and obedience training. This is done on dogs of all ages, but it is better to start when the canine is a puppy because as they say, it is hard to teach old dogs new tricks. Behavior and obedience dog trainingbrings out the best in the dog and it makes understanding each other easier.
2) House training: House training is very important and it should also start when the dog is still a puppy. House training is all about training the dog to have house manners and to respect your space. There are several techniques used for this and they include crate training and pad training for training the dog to 'go' outside.
3) Positive reinforcement: Positive reinforcement is a new type of training approach and it is all about rewarding the dog for good behavior or for learning a new trick. All animals tend to perform better when there is a promise of a reward. Possible rewards are snacks, interaction with other dogs, giving the dog your attention, or giving the dog tug toys - the reward should take into consideration what the dog likes because dogs are different.
4) Negative reinforcement: Negative reinforcement training approach has been used for many years where the dog is punished for failure to learn or to behave properly, but this does not work because it only makes the canine scared and causes it to lose confidence. Negative reinforcement techniques included beatings and electric shocks.
5) Trick training: Trick training is done for fun, by those who want a sports dog, and those involved in other entertainment activities such as the circus. You should choose the dog carefully to avoid frustration because some dogs are easier to train than others.
6) Teething: It is important to train dogs when they are teething because they are under a lot of pain and they usually chew on furniture such as table legs, shoes, and even wallpaper. Possible training techniques for discouraging the chewing are bad-smelling sprays on items that are at risk and giving the dog chew toys.
7) Command training: It is possible to train dogs to follow commands. These commands include 'sit', 'attack', and 'fetch', among others. This requires patience and there are various techniques of dog training that can be used to achieve this such as giving rewards.

By their nature, dogs are pack animals with a well-defined social order. Through basic training, you need to consistently make sure your puppy understands that you are the leader, not him. So in teaching him the basic rules, you take on the role of pack leader.
To fit into the family circle, your dog must be taught to recognize his name and such commands as come, heel, lie down and sit.

yes and I hope you have your dog on a heartworm preventive.
Mosquitoes spread the larvae from dog to dog. have your dog tested for heartworm and if neg. your vet will suggest a preventive and you can ask what you could use for the bite.

Yes, But it sounds more like your dog has some dermatology issues. Start by removing or/replacing his collar. Look for reddness,swelling,or flakiness. Give him a good bath with mild soap. If none of this helps than you need to see a doggy dermatologist. GoodLuck.
