Training Your New Puppy

Every interaction with your puppy is a training opportunity.

The first few days of bringing your new puppy home are extremely important. Don't let the excitement of your new puppy sway you from the rules you have set in place. It's very confusing to a dog to allow them on the furniture or to jump up on you at first and then later decide that you don't like it. You must set your boundaries from the start and stick to them.

It will be very tempting to let your puppy out of his crate and up on the bed with you so that he doesn't cry all night, but by doing this you are starting a whole new set of problems. By letting your puppy out when he whines and cries you are teaching him that when he fusses you are going to give him what he wants meaning whenever he wants out of his crate, back inside, up on the couch, up on your bed, your food at the table, or anything else, he is going to whine and cry and bark because he has learned that doing so gets him what he wants.

If that doesn't convince you to want to keep your pup in his crate, also remember that by allowing him freedom at night you are setting him up for failure because your puppy does not know how to hold his bladder all night and you are likely to wake up to a big mess the next morning. Not to mention all the items your puppy will likely find to chew on in order to soothe his aching teeth and gums.

It's hard to ignore the crying of your new bundle of fur. Your new puppy has just been taken away from his mom and litter-mates. He is vulnerable and impressionable. What he needs now is security and routine. It sounds like a good idea to take a few days to spend with your new puppy, but this is actually the worst thing you can do. Your puppy needs to get used to the routine of the household from the start. If you are gone during the day or night, your puppy needs to get used to this right away. Otherwise he's going to be even more confused and upset when he's been used to seeing you all the time and suddenly you are gone. This creates separation anxiety in dogs and can become an extreme health problem if not addressed. To help your puppy sleep better through the night, think about getting a Snuggle Puppy which is a soft puppy toy with a warmer and a heartbeat that helps your puppy to not feel alone and mimics being back with his mom and litter-mates.

Remember, your puppy is very impressionable. Puppies learn very quickly when given the proper instruction. Never hit your puppy or give harsh reprimands. Your puppy does not mean to misbehave, as he is simply being a puppy. And if he does something wrong it is because he has not been taught the rules. Teach your puppy to play with his toys. Make them fun and exciting. If you catch your puppy chewing on furniture, tell him "Off!" and immediately give your puppy a proper chew toy and praise him for chewing on it.
Grannick's Bitter Apple Spray works great as a chew deterrent. This no chew spray has a taste most dogs find unattractive and will help stop your pup from chewing on the item that has been sprayed.



If you don't catch him in the act, don't do anything, your puppy will just be confused. Many people believe their dogs know when they have done something wrong because they look guilty, this is not true. Dogs do not feel guilt, that is a human emotion. The dog looks that way because he knows you are angry and he is trying to send calming signals by crouching down and giving you sideways looks so that you will not hurt him.

When training your puppy, remember these key things:

• Be patient.
• Be consistent.
• Be confident.
• Use treats/toys.
• Try the replacement theory.
• Hold the leash properly.
• Utilize confinement (the crate).
• Learn from others (socialization).
• Stop the biting (teach bite inhibition).
• Use discipline, not cruelty.

Training Your Dog Should Be Fun!

In honor of Changing A Pet’s Life Day on January 24^th and also in honor of Dog Training Education Month which is coming up in February, we here at Mickey’s thought it would be a wonderful idea to spread the word about Positive Dog Training.

Did you know the #1 reason dogs are relinquished to the shelter is because the dog is untrained? The dog jumps up, barks at everything, pulls on leash, isn’t potty trained, doesn’t like people, doesn’t like other dogs; the list goes on and on. This could have been avoided with some simple obedience training.

Why does your dog need to be obedience trained? The reason is very simple. A trained dog is a good dog. A dog with obedience training is less likely to be destructive in the home, less likely to run away, less likely to bite someone, and less likely to be abandoned in an animal shelter.

Many people don’t realize that all dogs need to be obedience trained. And many more don’t want to do the training because they think it’s difficult or boring or they don’t have time.  I’m here to tell you about a training method that is easy, effective and fun for both you and your dog.

Positive dog training is based on two concepts. The first is ‘associative learning’ which is the idea that if two things tend to occur at the same time, we begin to expect one when we see the other. The most famous example is Pavloc’s dogs who would salivate at the sound of a metronome because they associated the sound with the appearance of food.

The other concept is ‘operant conditioning’ which is the use of consequences to modify behavior. By rewarding the desired behavior and ignoring any unwanted behavior, we can increase the desired behavior and almost entirely eliminate unwanted behavior.

What this means is that positive dog training helps the dog associate a stimulus (like a sound) with a desired behavior (like “sitting”). First your dog learns what you want him to do, and then he learns the command for doing it. To do this, you need to use a lot of positive reinforcement by using praise and positive actions or rewards to teach your dog right from wrong. The key is to determine what motivates your dog and use that motivator as a reward upon correct performance. You can use treats, toys, physical affection, verbal praise or a combination of any of those.

Traditional dog training methods typically attempted to teach the command and physically force the dog to do the desired behavior. They often use methods that include devices such as choke collars, prong collars, or electric shock collars. The idea is to use pain to force the dog to do a specific behavior. Punishment and coercion often lead to aggression. Positive dog training methods, however, rarely, if ever, result in aggressiveness or related undesirable behaviors.

As positive dog training methods are emerging more and being accepted by more trainers and pet owners, it is becoming clear that is has many advantages over the traditional method. For example, positive dog training activities tend to have better timing and are more specific. This combines to accelerate training and focus on the desired behavior. And as your dog learns to look to you for leadership, the bond between you will strengthen. The use of pain is not found among positive dog training methods. Pain is not required for learning; in fact, pain can actually lower your dog’s ability to learn by increasing his stress.

Now I know it’s all well and good to explain to you what it is, but what you really want to know is how to use it. Let me go over how you will implement positive dog training and what tools you will need in order to do so properly so that you can start building a path to a happier life with your dog!

The most helpful piece of dog training equipment you will ever own is a dog crate. They come in many different shapes and types, but the size is the most important part. The dog crate should be just big enough for your dog to stand up and turn around in. Your dog crate will be an invaluable piece of dog training equipment for both house training and obedience training.

You are also going to need a leash and a collar. A leather leash is recommended, but a nylon leash is ok as well. Just be careful if you have a puller as nylon leashes can leave burns or cuts on your hand. Stay away from leashed made of chain- the noise they make will be confusing during the training process and can also cause harm to you or your dog if he’s a puller.

Just like the leash, a leather collar is recommended. The leather will give you a great deal of usability and sturdiness, not to mention greater comfort for your dog.

And of course we can’t forget the training pouch to hold treats (or toys if your dog is more toy motivated). You can also get a clicker to help in your training endeavor. Clicker’s sometimes makes it easier for some people because they can click quicker than they are able to get words out.

When using positive reinforcement, it is important to reward your dog immediately upon responding correctly to the cue. For example, if you tell your dog to “sit” and he does so, you need to immediately let him know he did a good thing by telling him “yes” or “good” (or clicking if you use a clicker). Then you promptly give him a treat (or let him play with his toy). Remember, the reward must be something that your dog really loves so make sure you try a few things before buying a bunch of something only to realize your dog isn’t partial to it.

While you are training your dog to respond to new cues, you will want to reward him every time the correct action is performed. However, once he has successfully mastered the cue and is performing consistently without hesitation, it will no longer be necessary to provide rewards each time he performs the specific action. Simply reinforce him verbally that he was correct by telling him “yes” or “good”.

The two biggest things with positive reinforcement is consistency and timing. Be consistent in your training methods and be sure everyone in the house is taught to train your dog the same way so that there is no confusion. Use the same words and hand signals each time you train the cue and be sure to reward your dog right away when he gets it right.

Last but not least, have fun! This should be fun for both you and your dog. If either of you is not having fun, then you’re doing something wrong. Accept the fact that training your dog will take time and patience but eventually your consistency and persistence will pay off.

Made in USA pet supplies

Let's face it, labor is cheap in China and so many companies here in the US have outsourced their production to China.  That doesn't mean we have to give up on supporting our companies here in the United States that DO make their pet products here.

Most are small, family owned businesses and we need to remember in order to keep jobs here, we must pay a little more for our dog treats and dog toys.  The cost of labor is definitely higher, so the price of products will cost more.  It is only logical.
Consumers must be willing to pay more for made in USA pet products.

At Mickey's Pet Supplies we proudly support those small companies.

You will find dog toys from Doggie Styles and Kitty too.  They are a small company based out of Vermont.  They hire home sewers that make all their toys.  The dog and cat toys are all very well made and we can attest, they are very durable too.

West Paw Design makes great dog toys and they are based in Montana.  They have durable rubber dog toys made from their Zogoflex material and plush stuffed and unstuffed toys.

We also carry a toy called Henry's Toy, which is made in North Carolina, our home state. 

All of the companies we choose to represent on our website are all generous supporters of animal rescue organizations.  They give back with foundations to national and local non-profits for animals.

Mickey's Pet Supplies has natural and healthy dog treats, dog bones and dog chews made in the USA.

We also have our own brand of made in USA, odorless bully sticks with different thicknesses to choose from.  We are the only company that grades our bully sticks by weight.  That means that you get a dense chew, thus a longer lasting bully stick.

No Stuffing Dog Toys-Premier Pogo Plush Review

Pogo Plush Slap Happy

Pogo Plush Bunny

We are always looking for the most durable no stuffing dog toys.
Premier has designed their Pogo Plush dog toys to be super durable and with no stuffing.
We received a sample of the Pogo Plush original dog toy a few years ago and put it to the ultimate test with our Labrador puppy.  Nia, is now three and her Pogo has remained one of her favorite "go to" dog toys.  They have built it with a bouncy rubber inner frame and then put a faux sheepskin material over the frame. Within the frame is a free floating squeaker. 
This toy has been tugged on, chewed on, washed at least 4 times and it has lasted through all of it!
They recently came out with new variations on the original Pogo plush design.
There is the Pogo Plush Bunny and new Slap Happy. 
They both have the inner bouncy frames and squeakers.  There is something about the bounce back of the rubber framework that keeps dogs enticed and wanting this toy again and again.
We can't say enough about Premier's Pogo Plush dog toys.
Please visit us at Mickey's Pet Supplies for your Pogo Plush dog toys and many more no stuffing dog toys.

Dog Toys for Smart Dogs

In the times long ago, wild dogs used to hunt and seek out their food. They spent hours every day hunting and foraging for meat, grasses and berries. Dogs are direct descendants of the grey wolf-Canis Lupus. As hunters thousands of years ago, early man domesticated wolf pups and used them as great assets for their keen sense of sight and smell for their small hunting groups. These traits have not disappeared from our now very domesticated dogs. Those innate senses are still there. Providing a comfy home for your dog with all the plush toys, dog chews and luxurious life-style does not give your dog the mental stimulation they so desire. Many animal behaviorists have researched what a dog's mind needs to be stimulated. One pioneer in the dog puzzle toys is Nina Ottosson. Nina Ottosson has worked with the development and design of dog-activating toys/games that will mentally stimulate the dog, i.e. brain exercises in a fun and creative way. The toys are also easy to get out and use indoors and are specially developed to match the dog's natural movements and instincts. Nina Ottosson dog puzzle toys are meant for the dog to work with problem solving in different ways, by finding hidden dog snacks, i.e. to lift blocks, push pieces, turn discs, push blocks, put blocks inside something etc. All dogs need to use their head sometimes in order to keep healthy. Some dogs need more brain activity than others. If dogs are not provided with an outlet for their energy in the form of different types of activity or other stimulation, they can sometimes find their own activity which we as dog-owners often do not appreciate, like for instance chewing things to pieces, becoming aggressive or just generally over-active. Her toys are rated for your dog's ability from basic to expert. The Dog Magic and Dog Spinny are considered starter or basic level dog puzzle toys, Dog Brick and Dog Tornado are mid-level, Dog Casino and Dog Twister are for expert level. Dog pyramid is a plastic treat dispensing toy that is weighted at the bottom. Place treats in the one inch hole and watch your dog push the pyramid. No matter what, the pyramid will right itself to the vertical right angle. All the toys are dishwasher safe- so don't worry about slobbery pieces. Kyjen dog games are pretty new in the dog puzzle games marketplace. Kyjen dog toys are known for their very well-made dog toys and their new Paw Hide, Star Spinner and Treat Wheel are no exception. The Paw Hide has 7 treat or food chambers that challenge your dog to lift each cup in order to reveal its prize. Perfect for teaching the basics of eat-on-command obedience and problem-solving. The Star Spinner has 10 treat or food chambers that challenge your dog to spin levels in either direction revealing the opening. With a nudge of the dog's nose, each level will reveal 5 hidden compartments. The Treat Wheel has 8 treat or food chambers combining the difficulties of Star Spinner and Paw Hide. The dog must use its mouth to lift each cup then spin the top to reveal more treats. Zoos have been doing animal enrichment programs for years, trying to keep their animals engaged, occupied and mentally stimulated. The pet industry has followed suit and manufacturers are inventing new and exciting ways to challenge your pet. Some other great interactive and treat dispensing toys are the Kibble Nibble, Tug-A-Jug and Premier Funkitty Egg-Cersizer. These toys all randomly dispense kibble and treats. The Egg-cersizer is a perfect way to say "good-bye" to free feeding and hello to fun engaging mealtimes. The innovative design allows for a variety of play levels from easy to challenging. This treat toy is a fun, simple way to keep your cat or small dog stimulated and active. JW Pet Amaze-A-Ball and Our Pet's Atomic Treat Ball are great hard rubber treat dispensing toys. Canine Genius Leo and Mike dog toys are very hard rubber treat dispensers that connect to form multiple puzzle versions. These toys are also made in the USA. Anytime you can make your pet work a little to receive treats is better for their mind.

Dog survives Florida Alligator Attack

TAMPA, Fla. — Lizabeth the terrier experienced the canine terror of being dragged underwater in an alligator's jaws — and lived to bark the tale.
The gator wasn't so fortunate.
Tom Martino said he and his Jack Russell terrier were taking their afternoon walk along the Hillsborough River in Tampa on Thursday when he heard splashing — the alligator had snatched the 15-pound dog off riverside rocks and pulled her into the water.
Martino, who has a concealed weapons permit, pulled out his handgun and started shooting at the water around the alligator to frighten it into releasing the dog, he told WFLA-TV.
The 6-foot-4 alligator eventually let her go. Using a rod, Martino was able to rescue his dog, he told WFLA. He then performed CPR on her.
"She coughed up a bunch of water," said Martino, who had never performed CPR on a dog. "I was scared. That's my little baby."
Nine-year-old Lizabeth, who is named after Fred Sanford's deceased wife from the 1970s sitcom "Sanford and Son," is in critical but stable condition and is being cared for at Florida Veterinary ; Veterinarian Miryam Reems told WFLA that the dog suffered bites and lung injuries from being underwater. Before the alligator attack, Lizabeth was being treated for a suppressed immune system. Reems told WFLA the CPR saved Lizabeth's life.
At about 7 p.m. Thursday, a trapper contracted by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission used a treble hook and fish line to capture the alligator, WFLA reported.
Martino took photos of the capture as neighbors watched and news crews filmed the action. The alligator was taped, roped and placed in the back of the trapper's pickup truck.
The animal was declared a nuisance and was to be euthanized, WFLA reported.
"I'm glad he's gone and nobody else got hurt," Martino said
