How To Train Your Dog to Use the Doggy Door
Reinforce their training. Every time your dog whines by the human door to go outside, show them their door and that they can easily use this to go outside without having to ask or to wait.

Q:Question: How do I take my Dog's Temperature?

Answer:

A dog's normal body temperature varies between 38 and 39 degrees Celsius (100 -102 degrees Fahrenheit).

To take a dog's temperature,
  • Grease a snub nosed thermometer with vegetable oil.
  • Lift the dog's tail and insert the thermometer slowly about 2.5 cm or 1 inch deep.
  • Hold it in for 30-45 seconds.
  • Take it out slowly, wipe it clean and read the dog's temperature.

A:Hi,

It's also good to make sure you take the dogs temperature in a quiet calm environment.
