RE:

Answer 3

No. The breeder I got my dog from said not to give my dog any type of bones, only dog bones. Because the chicken bone, turkey bone, and in your case, the rib bones, your dog can be chewing on it an accidentaly break off a piece and swallow it and choke. Also, if the dog bites to hard it also has a chance of breaking its tooth.

Answer 4

If the dog is a lap dog and very small I would say it is OK but I would not give the bones to a bigger dog that could shatter the bone and eat the shards. The shards could penetrate the stomach &/or intestines and cause internal bleed (which is very bad).

Answer 5

The problem with giving a dog rib bones is that as your dog is chewing on it they can splinter and end up in your dogs gums

Answer 6

In the wild, dogs would eat ALL of an animal, fur guts bones everything, I think the problem comes with bones from meat thats been cooked, they may be more brittle. My dog nicks bones from the bin, and it sometimes makes her tummy a bit upset, but shes ok soon.

Answer 7

I new about chicken bones, but I didn t know about spare ribs... I guess the answer is no meat bones at all unless it is from the pet store....

Answer 8

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tinyurl.im/kgGBf

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

Answer 9

No. They are too soft and can splinter and cause serious damage, even fatal damage to your dog.

Dogs should not be fed cooked bones either for the same reason.

Look to bigger bones like Lamb, Beef esp the larger bones, necks etc.

Good Luck

Dog training techniques are as controversial as abortion, Palestine and Bill O'Reilly. But, which dog training techniques can you trust to get you out of the dog house? It will help if you think about dog training techniques as being in one of two categories: balanced and imbalanced.

The discussion about which dog training technique to use when training a dog is one that resembles a discussion between an Israeli and a Palestinian. Each one seems absolutely certain of their position and is more than ready to vilify those who don't share their views on dog training. But, if you look at dog training techniques and methods and evaluate their worth and effectiveness based on whether the approach is balanced, it's a lot easier to weed out the garbage.

For the most part, trainers and their methods fall into two main categories. Those who do not use a physical consequence as a deterrent and those who do. There are many variations in the methods used by different trainers however, almost all trainers fall into one category or the other. Some trainers use food as a reward and never allow the dog to experience a negative consequence for a poor choice. Other trainers afford the dog the opportunity to experience a consequence for making poor choices.

The Use Of Food:

Using food is great in the sense that you will probably have a very happy dog on your hands when he realizes that the training comes with an all-you-can-eat buffet. However, using food to train your dog has some pitfalls we think you should be aware of.

Food is great if you just want to impress your guests with a couple silly pet tricks but, in the real world, your dog will probably be much more interested in chasing the cat than hanging around to get your silly, dry biscuit. So, if you are using food as the primary or sole motivator, you're in for some disappointment when it comes time for your dog to perform in the real world.

Strictly Positive Reinforcement:

It is not difficult to find trainers who will tell you they use a kinder, gentler method than those used by consequence and reward trainers. They will tell you that your dog will be emotionally destroyed by the use of correction as a deterrent. Their goal is to sell you on their loving approach to dog training. They would have you believe that their method is much better than those old, barbaric correction methods.

If you try to train your dog with a method of training that is as imbalanced as this, you will be in for some serious disappointments. Sure, it sounds like a great idea; training your dog and never having to correct him for making a poor choice. Never having to do the very thing you like doing the least. However, no matter how distasteful the concept of physical consequence is to you, it is necessary if you want a really good dog. You cannot consistently praise a dog when he does something right and never give him a consequence for doing something wrong, and expect him to turn out balanced.

Consequence And Reward:

In some cases, dog training methods that involve physical consequence as a deterrent cause additional problems. Not by virtue of the fact that the dog received a physical consequence for his poor choice, but because the training was too harsh, improper, or the balance between consequence and reward was not achieved. A bad trainer can destroy any good training system. It is far from true that methods using consequence as a deterrent will result in a fearful dog. It all depends on the skill of the trainer, the manner in which the dog is corrected and the balance between consequence and reward.

Dog training techniques and methods that use a healthy balance between consequence and reward are without doubt, the most effective, healthy training techniques you can use. It is important to remember that consequence in NEVER connected to emotion while reward is always given with sincerity and love.

Answer 11

No - too soft and splintery. The swallowed splinters are very likely to catch in or perforate some part of their digestive tract.

If you want to treat your dog with leftovers like that, boil them up and feed the broth and the little meat bits to him/her, either as-is or poured over their regular food. Then just throw the boiled bones out.
