The street is where our dog passes it better, but also where the biggest risks to your health. It is therefore appropriate to take some precautions.
Of course, it is not walking the dog locked in a bubble. Just have to check some details, which can be done easily without having to devote excessive attention. The walk must be a pleasurable activity for both dog and master, and if you pay attention, avoid problems. On the other hand, the following tips are easy to follow list, and eventually becoming an unconscious attitude on our part, so that they do not require a great effort. Consider:
In newly weaned pups (which usually means newly acquired) must avoid the walk and contact with other dogs until your vet has put them their first batch of vaccine, at least. It is a period in which your body has virtually no defenses.
Possible sources of disease transmission are the stools of other dogs. The urine and feces of other dogs will be as "healthy" as the dog that has occurred. Because obviously we can not know the state of that other dog, avoid risks. Put simply: remove the dog's habit of poking around.
Is difficult. Instinctively sniffs dog urine and stools, as they give very many details about the other animal. In principle, that's no problem sniffed. What must be avoided is the tendency to lick. This can be achieved in most cases "punishing" the first lick. Anyway, if your dog is male and urine smells a female in heat, no education worth and away the dog must be by force.
Worse still are the garbage. Never poke you must stop them. In this case, the risk of dogs is not greater than in the previous case, but if it is for the people. Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease that the dog is not affected, while only transports the parasites at a time of their life cycle, but then it infects people, to which can be fatal. Besides garbage, the dog can ingest parasites through feces of another infected dog, so we're back to the previous case.
In the city, the dog should always be tied. It's not just a matter of fulfilling legal ordinances (which requires). It is only if the dog will be able to act quickly tied by a tug on the leash, to take away from garbage, feces, etc., and to prevent the dog from running out if something catches your eye (a cat, another dog, a child playing ...) and avoid accidents. Recall that if the dog was loose and jumps and crosses the street and is hit, the blame will not be on anyone but us.
Instinctively, adult male dog will tend to fight with other males, and attempting to mount any female that will allow. A female, despite being less aggressive, may also want to peel with other females, and if she is in heat, a male standing heat. Only if they can control tied them immediately. For these situations occur (for some reason could not be avoided), this is what you should do:
Fight: We must take courage and try to separate them. If one of the two animals is very less, shall be submitted promptly and no further problems. But as both are dominant, the fight is "all out" and can end badly.
Monta: There is nothing to do. We have to wait for them to finish and separate themselves. The reason is that, for anatomical circumstances, the male can not leave until it's over. If you try to separate them by force is a very high risk of causing permanent damage to both the male (affecting their reproductive) and the female (from tears, to break the pelvic bone).
In a female in heat, limit the ride to the minimum time necessary. This only lasts a few days, and avoids the risk of unwanted mounts occur, not to mention that they will pursue all dogs and can end shies away.
If we take the dog to a park where there is grass and you can let loose, do not forget, when we get back home, make a small review for ticks. You have to do this too if you are playing with other dogs.
