Fleas are black colored & about the size of a rice grain. You can see them most of the time on a dogs belly, inside ears or near their bottoms. They roam all over the dog but these are areas you are more likely to "see" them.

Fleas are about 2-3 mm long - roughly the size of dried sesame seeds. They move quickly and can jump surprising distances; when a flea jumps it's so fast it seems to just disappear. They usually hang out around the head and neck or on the underside. If the fleas have been around a while there may be 'flea dirt' which looks like black pepper on the pet's skin.

The black flea dirt is the poop. If you see little white specks, those are the eggs. If your cat has fleas, I can guarantee you they have already laid eggs. All that fleas do is eat, poop and mate. Those eggs will hatch into larve that eat the poop, they will cocoon into pupae and in 2-3 weeks will hatch into adult fleas. First give the Capstar, that will kill the adult fleas, then start on Revolution. You can give a Capstar once a week to kill off the adult population as well as Revolution as a monthly topical. You also need to treat your house. Lots of vacuuming and maybe flea sprays or powders for the carpets. The eggs, larvae(flea maggots) & pupae live in the carpets, floorboards and bedding. Adult fleas hatch from those every 3 weeks, so you will need to repeat everything you did around the house at least every 3 weeks or more often if you want. Diligence and persistence is the key to getting fleas under control.

Many people love the idea of owning a dog but one thing that they have to keep in mind often times, is that the dog needs to be trained. While the pet may look heart-breakingly cute when it's in a shelter or at the pound, picking out the dog is only the first part of the relationship between dog owner and the animal. Many people don't understand that they have to put time and effort into socializing the dog.

An unsocialized dog will intimidate others, tear up the home, and will create an environment that can become so bad that the it will have to be returned. Many times when dogs have to be returned to shelters or to other resources, it will end up euthanized, which is very heartbreaking. All of this can be spared if a person learns the various techniques in order to socialize the dog.

One thing that they have to understand is that the he wants to be told what to do. It's in the canine nature to follow a leader. The dog will be more than willing to obey the leadership of its master. Here's a look at some common techniques that are used in dog training:

"Dog Whispering"

This is a technique that has been around for a while, but gained national notoriety over the last 10 years. Some people might hear this term and wonder how in the world whispering to a dog can train it! Whispering isn't meant to be taken literally in this case. As trainers have shown, whispering is a term that refers to connecting with a being or an entity on a very deep and almost spiritual level. When it comes to dog training techniques, dog whispering involves careful observation of the dog's behavior and actions.

It literally entails getting inside the mind and the behavior system of the canine. When a person uses dog whispering techniques, they interact with the dog on the canine level. Again, one the most common mistakes that people make is treating the dog like a small human being.

"Reward Training"

Reward training is very simple and it's one of the older tricks that works. This is a simple method of training the dog by positive reinforcement. Once he does what it is told to do, it receives a treat. How this works is that the dog owner must entice the dog towards the treat. Once the canine develops awareness for the treat, it develops a strong desire for it. When the desire for it is extremely strong, the dog owner pulls back. Then the dog receives a command and when the dog obeys the command, it receives the treat. The object is to make the dog associate a treat with the command.

"Clicker Training"

Other dog training techniques include one that is similar to reward training, which is called clicker training. How this works is that the clicker is incorporated to get the dog's attention. The clicker is clicked as a form of communication with the dog. It learns that there is a command or reward associated in conjunction with the clicker. Many people claim that this is fun, and they actually make a game with the dog by using the clicker for their dog training tasks.

"Ultrasonic Whistle"

Last, a relatively new form of dog training technique is called the ultrasonic whistle. This works because the ultrasonic sound is only heard by the dog. When the owner is trying to communicate a command, or stop the dog from barking, they will blow on their whistle when they want to communicate a command to the dog. The benefit of this is that the humans can't hear this noise, but the dog can hear it, and they will learn to associate the sound with a command.

Dog training techniques aren't hard to incorporate, but they are something that absolutely must be incorporated from the time a dog owner brings their new dog home. No matter how old or how young the dog is, they will need training. Once they are trained properly, they will be a wonderful addition to one's family.

How Big Are Fleas

2016-10-02 02:54:03 · answer #5 · answered by Anonymous · 0 0

They are a little bigger than the period at the end of this sentence. They are brown looking and will usually be close to her tail or running on her belly, those are the easiest places to see them. They can jump and move fast. A bath with Dawn dish washing soap will kill what is on her but you need to get a preventative. Not Hartz, they do not regulate the strength and it can either do nothing because it is mostly water or cause them to have seizures because it is so strong.

If your dog has fleas you will soon see them .They are small black things & from what Ive observed, they like to hide under creases of the skin, good idea to check around the dogs leg pits (arm puts to humans) & on their belly etc. If you see them in these places they will be in other places too so check all over & treat the dog as soon as possible.

fleas are about the size of a pin head and you will find them all over the animal. they do jump and hide in the fur so you will have to separate the hair and look close to the skin

Look in the warm spots on the dogs body. Like, the neck, stomach, armpits. Fleas are very small, they're like small black bugs, blackish red... kinda brown too I guess. You'll know one when you see it. They get them from going outside.
