Answer 3

I've reared dogs on cows milk for years and never had a problem but recently I was told by a vet that dogs shouldn't under any circumstances have cows milk!! This young vet 'knows' all about animals because they went to university for however many years and then got a job that pays loads of money so now they are experts!!! Not!

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

Some seem to tolerate Milk better than others but as a rule, I've always found that giving my dogs cows milk has given them the runs badly xxxxxxxxx

Answer 6

You can give your dog milk - but you risk a sick dog. A little very occasionally shouldn't cause to many problems - like the dog drank your milk accidentally. But dairy products are just not good for dogs! Add chocolate to the list of things not to feed. Pale chocolate has lots of milk and dark chocolate had thobromin (not sure about the spelling) which can be fatal to dogs - use doggy chocolate!

Answer 7

According to the site below it is ok but not the best solution to give a puppy or dog. I know we gave milk to our great dane whilst he was growing and he was an extremely healthy boned dog. We give our cream that's left over or about to go off.....I think if you are sensible then it should be fine. I have never been told to not give it by the Vet after having 6 dogs...so I feel pretty sure it would be fine for most unless the dog shows signs of lactose intolerance....i.e. pain and diarrhea.

Answer 8

I give my dog a half a bowel of cows milk 2 evenings a week (She loves it to death!) .

Answer 9

Dogs and cats are not able to break down the fats in milk - but they do love it. Stick to water for nice healthy stools.
Milk is safe but makes them uncomfortable - and they don't have the brains to say no

Answer 10

No it is not safe to dogs or cats cows milk. Dogs and Cats are lactose intolerant,so their digestive systems cannot handle it, it will cause diarreah in cats and dogs. water is sufficient for them, but you can buy pets milk from the supermarket, which is tolerable for their digestive systems.
