Do not process or move the dead or sick animal, quickly report to your veterinary doctor or veterinary authorities at the ministry of agriculture in your state,” the statement urged Nigerians.</div>

Instead hold it a little bit above the treat.

Follow the same steps, but if he tries to snatch the less tasty treat, cover it with your foot.</div><div><br></div><div>Don’t rush the process. Remember, you’re asking a lot of your dog. If you take it up a notch and he’s really struggling, go back to the previous stage.</div><div><br></div><div>Just these five simple commands can help keep your dog safer and improve your communication with him. It’s well worth the investment of your time and effort. Remember, the process takes time, so only start a dog obedience training session if you’re in the right mindset to practice calm-assertive energy and patience.</div><div><br></div><div>Source: culled from <a href="https://www.cesarsway.com/5-essential-commands-you-can-teach-your-dog/">Cesar's way</a></div>

It’s difficult to always know what to expect, and you may have lots of questions, such as how to tell if your dog is pregnant, do i have to take her to the vets for a scan, how to look after her and how long until she whelps. Dogs usually begin to show subtle signs of pregnancy from around four-five weeks onwards. Although it varies as some dogs may show signs later than others.</div></div><div><br></div><div>Lets read on to learn about the leading signs.</div><div><br></div><div><b>1.

Nausea and vomiting (morning sickness) are uncommon in dogs, but hormonal changes may cause nausea and vomiting in some dogs between days 21 and 25.</div><div><br></div><div><b>2.

Even though Hachiko lived back in the 20th century, his story has continued to inspire people around the world up to this day. The tale of the Hachiko story has resulted in several Hachiko memorials and even a Hachiko movie that documents the story of the incredible bond that formed between Hachiko and Ueno.</div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;">Hachiko was an Akita Inu dog born on a farm in 1923 and later adopted by Hidesaburo Ueno, a professor of agriculture at the University of Tokyo. The two fell into a daily routine: Ueno and Hachiko would walk together to the Shibuya train station, where Ueno would pet Hachiko goodbye before getting on the train to work. Hachiko, who also became known as Hachi, would then spend the day waiting for Ueno to come back. In the meantime, local shopkeepers and station workers would keep an eye on him and often give him treats while he held his vigil for Ueno.</div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;">This routine continued for several years until one day, tragedy ensued. Ueno never came home from work, as he suffered a brain hemorrhage and died. Of course, Hachi had no idea about this, so the loyal dog continued to wait for his owner’s return. Every day like clockwork, when the train would appear, so would Hachi, searching for Ueno. Hachi’s fidelity earned him the nickname “the faithful dog.”</div><br></div><div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdbUZPqNzhlX6zFrGwrn-xbKqz5qffH_fHiamI7lgbpstBr1QDnigCY7RoWLuN2v4NKIoQ9ioPZIIzBbZcc5TYVT-ULFZNbrT7Bd2yiINXIciCIqRBDtkDDBgAf3b1Tj7ArjG2tVcMsqKM/s1600/Screenshot_20230104-224954.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1044" data-original-width="1080" height="309" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdbUZPqNzhlX6zFrGwrn-xbKqz5qffH_fHiamI7lgbpstBr1QDnigCY7RoWLuN2v4NKIoQ9ioPZIIzBbZcc5TYVT-ULFZNbrT7Bd2yiINXIciCIqRBDtkDDBgAf3b1Tj7ArjG2tVcMsqKM/s1600/Screenshot_20230104-224954.jpg" width="320"></a></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;">Hachi never gave up hope and continued to wait for more than nine years for his owner to return. Finally, one morning, on March 8, 1935, Hachiko was found dead. It is believed that he died due to natural causes. His body was taken to the train station’s baggage room, a place that had been one of his favorite hangouts. He was then photographed, surrounded by Ueno’s wife, Yaeko, as well as staff members at the station. Yoshizo Osawa, one of the staff members, gifted the photo to one of his daughters, who recalled that her dad loved dogs and would often tell her about how Hachi would come daily to the station, where staff would happily share their lunches with him.</div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><b>Hachiko Statues Pay Tribute</b></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;">Although Hachiko’s life ended decades ago, his story continues to live on. After Hachiko’s death, his body was preserved and placed at the National Science Museum of Japan in Tokyo. Additionally, a monument of Hachiko has been placed next to his owner’s tomb in Tokyo’s Aoyama cemetery.</div><br></div><div><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ9H24QfxAd_edgosALHC54exObjQUR-DliWZvcHwrHSQ7yThthNaV8whpA8319olQRRd29BUPN2Bycxpci7d7np4p75-WH6Y0vQ10V0x0d-6RXnL2xMQbQh1nQI7v4PNoiijL8WjPYy0C/s1600/Screenshot_20230104-225202.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1204" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJ9H24QfxAd_edgosALHC54exObjQUR-DliWZvcHwrHSQ7yThthNaV8whpA8319olQRRd29BUPN2Bycxpci7d7np4p75-WH6Y0vQ10V0x0d-6RXnL2xMQbQh1nQI7v4PNoiijL8WjPYy0C/s1600/Screenshot_20230104-225202.jpg" width="287"></a></div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Because Hachi remained loyal to his owner up until Hachi’s death, a bronze statue of Hachiko was erected outside the Shibuya Station as a tribute to the dog.

SELF GROOMING.</b></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;">The most common reason your dog lick its paws is as a part of self-grooming. Even dogs that don't do a lot of self-grooming will occasionally clean their paws. If you notice your dog licking its paws every once in a while, then there's probably nothing to worry about as it's a normal behavior in dogs especially when they come inside after walking on dirty or sandy ground.  </div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;">It is not normal if your dog seems to be licking its paws frequently or aggressively. This is usually a sign of a health problem, injury or a behavior issue.</div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyPpImFcJ9WZK9R6piidzAU5TQMY6X33UwTsmX_XdBNK6WlVoHEm8wQNui24i3kKcgigJUm4oYsZpYXkSJtppilYGlMc7bGrfX0r9HgSw460WdYTNvrs5RrDI8DftxNs5ZamsrzAo-Muv6/s1600/1000034216.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1414" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyPpImFcJ9WZK9R6piidzAU5TQMY6X33UwTsmX_XdBNK6WlVoHEm8wQNui24i3kKcgigJUm4oYsZpYXkSJtppilYGlMc7bGrfX0r9HgSw460WdYTNvrs5RrDI8DftxNs5ZamsrzAo-Muv6/s1600/1000034216.jpg" width="226"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><b>2. INJURIES.</b></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;">If you think your dog's paw-licking is abnormal, The first thing to do, especially if the licking begins very suddenly and is focused on one paw, is to examine the paws to make sure there is not an injury such as a cut, torn nail, ice ball stuck between the pads, growth, or maybe a stone, or thorn. Take a look at the nails very well, check between the toes and pads, and at the tops of the feet.</div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;">Maybe your dog have irritated his paw by stepping on a sharp object, walking on hot or salted sidewalks, stung by a bee, or getting a blister. Some of these problems can be relieved by a simple first aid treatment, while others might require treatment by your veterinarian.</div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><br><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi373KPSIIN8ALUWjz6QhVJ-VezR20Gk3ObjbwTsCMpLHD6bxwHZt9b-IFqN-Rg0TZCH7ykG5hr4N_drHYRjB58GlzCYCb2nImCfGbaX90dyaErhG6Wi27BQOY2GOxHo-wA1x5tYQ-9rnzo/s1600/1000034224.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="1414" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi373KPSIIN8ALUWjz6QhVJ-VezR20Gk3ObjbwTsCMpLHD6bxwHZt9b-IFqN-Rg0TZCH7ykG5hr4N_drHYRjB58GlzCYCb2nImCfGbaX90dyaErhG6Wi27BQOY2GOxHo-wA1x5tYQ-9rnzo/s1600/1000034224.jpg" width="226"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><b>3.

Allergies are common and can be caused by the environment, food, or an irritant that comes into contact with your dog’s skin. Food allergies are known to cause itchy paws, and these types of allergies are difficult to pinpoint. Your vet may suggest a special diet or elimination of certain ingredients in your dog’s food to try to alleviate the problem. Dark pigmentation, Redness, or brown staining on the paws from constant licking may be signs of allergies. Bathing or wiping your dog’s paws after going outside will reduce the allergens on your dog’s skin.</div></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;">Your veterinarian will prescribe topical creams or sprays with hydrocortisone to temporarily reduce the itch, but more intense licking requires systemic medication (prescription meds that affect the entire body) to control.</div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="text-align: left; clear: both;"><b>5.
