Cleaning Basics for Pets and Humans in the Home Written by: Greg Wiszniewski
Our household only has one dog, but I am still amazed when I look down at my clothes at the number of small black dog hairs sitting there. Believe me when I say that it is much worse when I wear white. Of course, right now it’s Spring, which therefore spells shedding season. Even when our dog scratches his neck, hair flies everywhere; however, shedding isn’t the only problem with keeping the house clean with pets. Sometimes we find dirt marks, places where the dog has had accidents, and drool. Which leads me to the dilemma of keeping the house, myself, and the dog clean: where do I begin? I found a few quick tips that help maintain a clean house, clean humans, and clean animals.
Bark Deterrents
Though in reality this is not something we have to deal with often with purebred Jindos, we have had (and will continue to) many mixed Jindo breeds in our rescue that have demonstrated some ‘nuisance barking’, that may not have responded to traditional methods of control.
We have found good success with spray bark collars (which use a small spray of liquid from the collar when the dog barks):
Muzzles
Sometimes a muzzle is useful to have on hand as many dogs can feel nervous if you are bathing them, and if you are taking them to the vet. Practise playing with the muzzle at home by hanging it around the dogs neck and making a game of it; when it is on, offer them a treat so they understand they can still eat normally.
