Cesar Millan:10 Travel Tips

The holiday season is coming up. Christmas, school holiday and Chinese New Year... You wanna go somewhere, what about your dog?

Here's a few tips from Cesar Millan's top 10 travel tips:
(from http://www.cesarmillaninc.com/tips/quick_travel.php)

1.) Prepare. Don't make it a last minute "pack-and-let's-go." Your dog will sense your anxiety and tension. Be ready days in advance, so that your dog has a normal experience before he has to get in the car or on the plane.
.
.
.
3.) Bring your dog's blankie. Or his favorite stuffed animal, toy, bone--any item which is familiar to your dog and will comfort and relax him.
.
.
.
5.) Go on a long walk. A recently exercised dog will be in a more relaxed state during any long trip.
.
.
.
7.) Don't leave your dog in the car. Summer temperatures can make a car heat up fast. Add an over-excited dog, and dehydration could be the result.

8.) Go on another walk. Once you arrive at the hotel, ask the staff where there is a nice, safe place to walk around. Then take your dog there for a walk to relax him.
.
.
.
10.) Balanced dogs make better travel companions. There is no specific breed or size of dog that naturally travels better than another, but an unstable dog will not make a good travel companion. Always nurture a balanced state of mind in your dog, and you will create a more pleasant traveling experience for both of you!

Can't bring your dog along? Find a good substitute pack. In a kennel, your dog should be immediately adopted as a member of the pack. The staff should be able to get your dog focused on what is there for him – and not leave him mourning over the fact that you left. It is a big deal for a dog to detach himself from a pack. The new pack should equal or better the pack he just left.

Cesar Millan Tips

~Cesar Millan on his daily skate routine with his highest energy dogs~


LOS ANGELES, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Dog Whisperer Cesar Millan tackles the
five most common issues faced by dog owners in the fifth edition of his
Mastering Leadership DVD series, Common Canine Misbehaviors. Here are a few
tips for each of these problems:

5.) Aggression towards other dogs - Watch your temper! If you are tense,
frustrated, or angry, your dog will mirror that energy right back at you, so
it's especially important to remain calm when dealing with an aggressive dog.
But remember, always put your safety first! Seek the help of a professional to
deal with this potentially dangerous issue.

4.) Overexcitement or hyperactivity - Overexcited or hyperactive dogs are not
being challenged enough. Most often, they just require more exercise! Find a
new activity to try with your dog - hiking, swimming, agility courses - or
step up your current walk routine. Dogs require at least 30 minutes of a
structured walk every day. Talk to your vet about how much exercise your dog
can safely handle.

3.) Barking while the owner is away - This is most often a symptom of
separation anxiety. You can help your dog to relax by communicating that being
apart is no big deal. Instead of showering your dog with affection, practice
no touch, no talk, and no eye contact for at least five minutes when entering
or leaving your home.

2.) Barking at a specific stimulus - Take time to simulate the cause of the
barking, and practice correcting your dog. If it's the doorbell that sets your
dog off, ring it when no one is coming over, so you can stay focused on the
task at hand: helping your dog overcome this unwanted behavior.

1.) Problems on the walk - A canine pack leader leads, and so should you! Your
dog should always be next to you or behind you, never out in front. Make sure
you are the first one out the door and the first one to come back in.

Watch Cesar demonstrate these tips and more in his new DVD Common Canine
Misbehaviors available at CesarsWay.com.
