66. <h2 class="wp-block-heading">Essential Puppy Bath Items to Prepare </h2>
67.  
68.  
69.  
70. <p>Below are the items you need to be preparing before bathing your puppy. Note that these are just the important ones. This may vary according to your puppy's needs.</p>
71.  
72.  
73.  
74. <ol>
75. <li><strong>Gentle puppy shampoo:</strong> Choose a mild and specifically formulated shampoo suitable for puppies to ensure their sensitive skin is not irritated.</li>
76.  
77.  
78.  
79. <li><strong>Lukewarm water:</strong> Fill a basin or bathtub with lukewarm water that is comfortable for your puppy.</li>
80.  
81.  
82.  
83. <li><strong>Towels:</strong> Have a soft and absorbent towel ready to dry your puppy after the bath. Opt for a towel that is suitable for their size and coat type.</li>
84.  
85.  
86.  
87. <li><strong>Non-slip mat or surface: </strong>Place a non-slip mat or use a rubber mat in the bathtub or on the floor to prevent your puppy from slipping and feeling anxious during the bath.</li>
88.  
89.  
90.  
91. <li><strong>Grooming brush:</strong> Depending on your puppy's coat type, have a suitable grooming brush or comb on hand to remove any tangles or mats before and after the bath.</li>
92.  
93.  
94.  
95. <li><strong>Treats:</strong> Prepare small, tasty treats as positive reinforcement for your puppy.</li>
96. </ol>
97.  
98.  
99.  
100. <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Choose the Right Time for Puppy Bath</h1>
101.  
102.  
103.  
104. <p>Selecting the right time for bath time is crucial. Ideally, the right time for a puppy bath is when your puppy is relaxed and calm. As much as possible, avoid the times when they are full of energy or after a meal. This will ensure a more cooperative and enjoyable bathing experience.</p>
105.  
106.  
107.  
108. <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Introduce the Water Slowly</h1>
109.  
110.  
111.  
112. <p>Start by introducing your puppy to lukewarm water in a shallow tub or sink. Use a gentle stream or a pitcher to pour water over their body, starting from the back and working your way down. Make sure the water isn't too hot or too cold. Extreme temperatures can cause discomfort.</p>
113.  
114.  
115.  
116. <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Use a Puppy-Safe Shampoo</h1>
117.  
118.  
119.  
120. <p>Choose a mild and hypoallergenic puppy shampoo specifically formulated for sensitive skin. Apply a small amount to your hands and gently massage it onto their fur, avoiding contact with their eyes and ears. Rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of shampoo.</p>
121.  
122.  
123.  
124. <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Towel Dry and Reward</h1>
125.  
126.  
127.  
128. <p>After rinsing, lift your puppy out of the tub and wrap them in a soft towel. Gently pat them dry. Avoid vigorous rubbing as this could cause skin irritation or tangles in the puppy's coat. Once they are dry, reward them with a treat or praise to create positive associations with bath time.</p>

229. <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Understanding Littermate Syndrome</h1>
230.  
231.  
232.  
233. <p>Littermate Syndrome threatens pet owners' dreams of raising happy, independent dogs. An overwhelming attachment between littermates may cause difficulty with separation, increased dependence upon one another, and stunted socialization skills &#8211; leaving even dedicated owners feeling powerless to provide their canine friends with the best environment possible. But fear not: with knowledge and proactive measures in your corner you may soon see results!</p>
234.  
235.  
236.  
237. <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Establish Individual Identities</h1>
238.  
239.  
240.  
241. <p>Achieving harmony begins by acknowledging the significance of cultivating individuality among each dog. Avoiding Littermate Syndrome requires taking intentional steps&#8211;separate training sessions, playtime sessions, and personalized care&#8211;to give each pup its own chance at blossoming into its unique being. By encouraging independence, you create confident, independent pets who thrive as individuals within a loving household environment.</p>

248. <h1 class="wp-block-heading">Encouraging Bonding With Humans</h1>
249.  
250.  
251.  
252. <p>In a world dominated by sibling bonds, it's crucial that we shift focus onto humans in their lives. Building strong connections with each dog individually is the key to breaking Littermate Syndrome chains. Giving quality one-on-one time and engaging in activities that deepen human-canine bonds establishes yourself as a source of trust, love, and stability for them. As a result, it will replace their dependence on each other with shared dependence upon you as their beloved caregiver!</p>

260.  
261.  
262.  
263. <p>While their sibling bond may run deep, one approach to combatting Littermate Syndrome is broadening their horizons. Exposing them to new dogs, environments, and experiences can open a world of growth and development. Expanding their social circle enables you to give them skills necessary for engaging with life outside their sibling relationship &#8211; eventually finding joy in friendships beyond that bond.</p>

374.  
375. <p>Dogs, in particular, have been the focus of many rescue efforts. They are not just pets; they are family members. For pet owners, the thought of losing their beloved dog in such a tragic event is heart-wrenching. The pain of not knowing if their furry friend is alive or not can be unbearable.</p>
376.  
377.  
378.  
379. <p>For rescuers, the sight of a dog trapped in the rubble is not just a physical challenge but an emotional one as well. It's not uncommon for rescuers to form a bond with the dogs they are trying to save. The emotional weight of being responsible for their lives and well-being can be overwhelming.</p>
380.  
381.  
382.  
383. <p>The emotional toll of the recent earthquake in Turkey has been tremendous. It's not just about the physical damage; it's about the people and animals affected by this tragedy. As we continue to support those impacted by this disaster, it's important to remember the emotional toll it takes on pet owners and rescuers.</p>

420. <p>There are many fun and exciting tricks out there to teach your dog, but instead of the all-too-familiar play dead, why not do a trick that also recognizes the true heroes of our current pandemic? Every day nurses and doctors are giving their all to save a life, and often need to perform CPR to do so. Here's how to teach your dog to simulate this same heroic act.</p>

434.  
435.  
436. <p>Hold the treat up for the dog and give the command to jump. As the dog does so, use a clicker to reinforce the behavior. Once this behavior is learned and the dog performs it every time, proceed to step two.</p>

445.  
446.  
447.  
448. <p>Now that the dog is comfortable performing the jump command, you want to next choose an elevated platform that works well with your dog's size. You want to get the dog to be comfortable to jump from and land onto this platform. Remember to use the treat to motivate the dog to jump and the clicker to reinforce the good behavior.</p>

453.  
454.  
455.  
456. <p>Next, increase the difficulty slightly by getting the dog to jump three times in a row, using the command Jump C, Jump P, Jump R. Once this is mastered, move to Jump C, P, R. You can also use Jump, Jump, Jump in quick succession.</p>

465.  
466.  
467.  
468. <p>Being that most dogs are always told not to jump on their owner or other humans, this part can take some time for them to realize it is okay to do so. But once they get comfortable with this, it is totally worth it for this awesome trick.</p>
469.  
470.  
471.  
472. <p>You will want to lay on the floor and then extend your hand with the treat. Then, place your dog's paws on your chest. Next, command the dog to jump. Once the dog gets comfortable with jumping on you at your command, you can work to the three in a row jumps.</p>

476. <p><span style="background-color:#f7cc62" class="td_text_highlight_marker"><strong>Please Note:</strong></span> If you have a larger dog you are performing this with, we recommend wearing extra layers to avoid any accidental injuries.</p>

517.  
518.  
519.  
520. <p>Much like us, cats have periods of peak fertility when they can become pregnant &#8211; this is known as being in season or in heat. Cats can come into season about once every three weeks, so there are plenty of opportunities for your pet to fall pregnant!</p>
521.  
522.  
523.  
524. <p>If you’d like to avoid an unexpected litter of kittens, we recommend neutering your cat before her first season, as she can become pregnant very easily after that point. As bringing up a litter can be stressful for your cat, and expensive for you, we recommend leaving breeding to the experts if possible.</p>

533.  
534.  
535.  
536. <p>Again, this is where the magic happens. Cats are highly fertile and if she has mated, even though you may not be able to tell for a couple of weeks it is highly likely she is pregnant. Once your cat has mated, it takes about 1 to 10 days for the sperm to find the eggs and fertilization to occur.</p>

571.  
572. <p>This is a busy week! Just like humans in their first trimester, during week four cats can suffer from a bit of &#8220;morning&#8221; sickness. It may trigger vomiting in your kitty, as well as appetite loss. Also, just like humans, morning sickness doesn’t always happen in the morning. Your cat can get sick at any time throughout the day.</p>
573.  
574.  
575.  
576. <p>Though this behavior is normal, if you think that your cat’s morning sickness is unusually severe or seems to be lasting longer than it should, seek veterinary care. In the meantime, your cat’s body weight should continue to increase, too. By the end of the fourth week, you may be able to feel the kittens actually forming in your cat’s belly. Week four also means you should not pick her up from this point on, because you could accidentally hurt the babies. If you do need to take her anywhere, use a small cat carrier.</p>

588. <p>This is the week where your vet can perform a manual exam and feel the shape of the kittens extremely well. They might even be able to take a head count, so you know what litter size to expect. Two? Three? Maybe ten? Who knows!</p>

600. <p>Once your cat has reached week six in gestation, her appetite will grow even more as she starts getting ready for the monumental job of nursing her kittens after the birth. She will need all of that extra nutrition to keep herself healthy and feed her babies.</p>
601.  
602.  
603.  
604. <p>Let her eat as much as she wants and make sure the food she is consuming is healthy and balanced. You may also look for food that contains extra minerals and iron, to ensure both she and the kittens are getting all they need. Also, the fun part… this is the stage you might even be able to see her belly move as the kittens inside wiggle and squirm.</p>

614.  
615.  
616. <p>By the 7th week, it will be very apparent that your cat is pregnant. She will have a large, rounded belly and may begin the process of nesting. Nesting is when your cat starts looking for a safe and comfy place to birth her babies. It’s similar to the human nesting instinct. She also may lose her appetite here and there as the kittens take up more space and press against her stomach. If you make sure your furry Queen has a comfy resting place throughout her pregnancy, hopefully she will choose that as her place to give birth.</p>

625.  
626.  
627.  
628. <p>During this week, those little kittens will be extremely visible beneath the surface and move around a lot. You will be able to feel and see them moving around at this stage of the feline pregnancy. Your cat’s nipples will be very large and swollen as labor looms closer and closer. You will also notice your cat seems to be grooming herself a lot. She may even begin shedding her belly fur. This is a normal behavior and the fur will grow back pretty quickly once the kittens are born.</p>
629.  
630.  
631.  
632. <p>Again, her appetite may be hit or miss during this time as the kittens are taking up a lot of room and pressing against her stomach, and she may still be looking for that perfect spot to have her babies if she hasn’t already found it or chosen the bed you created for her.</p>
633.  
634.  
635.  
636. <p>Another thing you may notice is her milk dropping. This could happen during week eight or week nine. When it does, you might even see a little milk being secreted from the nipples.</p>

645.  
646.  
647.  
648. <p>This is an exciting and apprehensive week. Your cat could have her babies any day now. You might notice that your feline is leaking some vaginal discharge. The discharge might be a little red in color, or you might not even see it at all because she will be constantly licking at it. She may also pace and behave as though she is anxious and seek you out for reassurance, or simply lay around a lot. She could also pant, meow, and show other signs of disturbance. If you notice any of these behaviors, they are clear warnings that the babies are due any time.</p>

657.  
658.  
659.  
660. <p>Sometimes cats don’t deliver until 10 weeks of gestation or longer. This can be related to breed or be just the way your cat is wired. However, it means you’re stuck waiting and watching, anticipating the big reveal. If your cat has not gone into labor after 10 weeks, you should contact your vet and have her checked to make sure everything is okay and that she is healthy. If something is wrong, better to know right away so that your vet can help the process along and try to prevent any major issues during the birthing process. If nothing is wrong, just sit back and continue to wait for nature to take its course.</p>
661.  
662.  
663.  
664. <p>There you have it, a week-by-week breakdown of each stage in a cat’s pregnancy. Gestation is a busy time for your sweet feline and the stages progress quickly. Once you reached week ten, your cat should begin labor and barring any complications, you should soon have a litter of tiny, mewling kittens to love on.</p>

713. <p>This idea came to me because I wanted my dog Ghost to have a place to hide from the sun on a hot day.</p>
714.  
715.  
716.  
717. <p>To get started, I cut down some pressure-treated two by fours to make a frame for the base of the doghouse. If you're building your own dog house, make sure you only use pressure-treated wood for the base, not inside, of the doghouse. The chemicals in the wood can be dangerous for animals if they decide to chew on it.</p>

805. <p>At this point, it started to rain. I decided to put most of my tools away and realize there's part of my driveway that was being protected by a tree. I decided to move the project over and use this time to sand and fill the screw holes with wood filler while I waited for the rain shower to pass. Once it stopped raining I could continue to work on the build.</p>

I didn't have a long enough table to properly balance the piece, so I put a clamp at the end of a 2&#215;4 to stabilize it while I cut the piece with a circular saw. Once that was cut, I repeated the process to mark off how high the piece needed to be.</p>

1256.  
1257.  
1258.  
1259. <p>Once a month I do a thorough cleaning of our dog pen and today I'm going to show you how I have my own setup to make this a fast and easy process.</p>
1260.  
1261.  
1262.  
1263. <p>When I first built this dog kennel I poured the slab so that it was at a slant, and I placed the drain so that when I spray it down all the dog's poop and pee will go to the drain and into a bucket that is placed outside. Everything goes inside the bucket keeping the pen from smelling all the time.</p>
1264.  
1265.  
1266.  
1267. <p>To begin I take a plastic gallon bucket (like one from your local hardware store) and I drill some holes into it. Basically, I use a 3/8 bit and I drill holes up and down the sides of the bucket all around it. By the way, you don't have to drill these holes in a straight line or anything.</p>
1268.  
1269.  
1270.  
1271. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1280" height="720" src="https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-01.png" alt="" class="wp-image-10788" srcset="https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-01.png 1280w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-01-300x169.png 300w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-01-1024x576.png 1024w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-01-768x432.png 768w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-01-747x420.png 747w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-01-640x360.png 640w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-01-681x383.png 681w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></figure>
1272.  
1273.  
1274.  
1275. <p>Once the sides are completely covered in holes, flip the bucket over and drill holes there, too. Next, I take my shop vac and suck up all of the small plastic pieces left from the drilling to keep my shop clean. Use it on the bucket as well, if needed.</p>
1276.  
1277.  
1278.  
1279. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1280" height="720" src="https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-02.png" alt="" class="wp-image-10789" srcset="https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-02.png 1280w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-02-300x169.png 300w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-02-1024x576.png 1024w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-02-768x432.png 768w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-02-747x420.png 747w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-02-640x360.png 640w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-02-681x383.png 681w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></figure>
1280.  
1281.  
1282.  
1283. <p>Okay, now that we have all the holes drilled (and remember, it doesn't matter the exact number of holes, just that there are enough there to allow the bucket to drain), let's go out to Harley's pen and switch these out.</p>
1284.  
1285.  
1286.  
1287. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1280" height="720" src="https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-03.png" alt="" class="wp-image-10790" srcset="https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-03.png 1280w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-03-300x169.png 300w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-03-1024x576.png 1024w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-03-768x432.png 768w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-03-747x420.png 747w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-03-640x360.png 640w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-03-681x383.png 681w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></figure>
1288.  
1289.  
1290.  
1291. <p>All right, now that we're out here at Harley's pen, as I stated earlier when I poured the concrete slab I did so at an angle, and then I put the drain on the right side of the pen (from where I am now) and also poured it as well at an angle. That way when I do spray the water and all the poop and stuff it's already tilted and it goes a lot quicker and easier.</p>
1292.  
1293.  
1294.  
1295. <p>So as I bring you over to the drain in order to change this out, I'll show you where the bucket gets placed and well as where it drains off to.</p>
1296.  
1297.  
1298.  
1299. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1280" height="720" src="https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-04.png" alt="" class="wp-image-10791" srcset="https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-04.png 1280w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-04-300x169.png 300w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-04-1024x576.png 1024w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-04-768x432.png 768w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-04-747x420.png 747w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-04-640x360.png 640w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-04-681x383.png 681w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></figure>
1300.  
1301.  
1302.  
1303. <p>Now due to the fact that I have palm trees and this is currently fall when I shot this, I need to go ahead and get the leaves and other debris away from the drainage area, and then you'll be able to see the old bucket and we can pull it out.</p>
1304.  
1305.  
1306.  
1307. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1280" height="720" src="https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-05.png" alt="" class="wp-image-10792" srcset="https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-05.png 1280w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-05-300x169.png 300w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-05-1024x576.png 1024w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-05-768x432.png 768w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-05-747x420.png 747w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-05-640x360.png 640w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-05-681x383.png 681w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></figure>
1308.  
1309.  
1310.  
1311. <p>All right, so whenever I place a new bucket I always leave the handle attached so that it's easier to pull it up and then set it into another bucket. Now when I pull this out it is going to look like a lot of poop but you must remember that it is also full of leaves and other debris. Also, I normally have my helper with me but he's currently taking a nap.</p>
1312.  
1313.  
1314.  
1315. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1280" height="720" src="https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-06.png" alt="" class="wp-image-10793" srcset="https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-06.png 1280w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-06-300x169.png 300w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-06-1024x576.png 1024w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-06-768x432.png 768w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-06-747x420.png 747w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-06-640x360.png 640w, https://dogsdamesanddudes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/5-Minute-Kennel-Cleaning-06-681x383.png 681w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></figure>
1316.  
1317.  
1318.  
1319. <p>So we now pull it up and set the bucket into a larger one with a waiting lawn or heavy-duty garbage bag. Yes, this does stink really bad so I'm going to go ahead and close the bag up. even so, here's the deal: it really helps a great deal by saving time when cleaning this pen. I mean, it doesn't go on the ground because you are saving it all right here.</p>

1327. <p>So now that I have that out I'll show you inside. What I basically got here is that there's another bucket inside the dug out hole that the other bucket sits inside, and if you look real close you'll see a PVC pipe so that when the water and urine hits there it drains outside and then it is ready to go.</p>

1335. <p>When the water drains, it goes way out there into the yard a good ways away from the pen. That way it fertilized the lawn and that particular area stays a fervent shade of green, especially in the summertime.</p>

1359. <p>As I'm cleaning I will also spray out the drain chute to make sure it all flows down to the newly placed bucket. I want to make sure to get the pen completely clean of poop, pee, and any other debris from the trees and otherwise, that way Harley can be happy and comfortable while in his area.</p>
