Bonjour
Je me trompe peut-être de forum, je m’en excuse d’avance.
Hier le chien du voisin non castré qui se balade tout seul dans la nature ( j’habite en ville dans un lotissement), a sauté le grillage de mon jardin pour aller saillir ma chienne.
Je ne suis pas sûre qu’il ai tout bien fait car je suis allé voir ce qu’il se passait lorsque j’ai entendu du bruit dans le jardin. J’ai vu ce chien qui descendait de ma chienne. Il commençait à faire noir dehors et je n’ai pas vu si tout son attirail était sorti.
Je suis allé voir le voisin qui m’a dit dans un premier temps que je n’avais qu’a enfermer ma chienne ( impossible car il faut qu’elle fasse ses besoins et prenne l’air, et puis je suis chez moi je fais ce que je veux), donc je lui ai dit que son chien entier n’avait pas à divaguer comme ca si jamais il attaque des gens ou enfants et surtout il n’avait pas à sauter ma clôture et donc rentrer chez moi. Par la suite il m’a dit qu’il payerait l’avortement.
Alors certes il est en tort car chien qui divague et pas castré et moi aussi j’ai ma part des responsabilité car chienne pas srérilisée mais prévu.
Je voulais savoir comment je pouvais faire si cette personne était malhonnête? D’autant plus qu’elle était venue dans ma ville juste pour le week end mais revient souvent? Je lui ai envoyé un message pour lui demander qu’il vienne signer un papier indiquant qu’il s’engage à payer l’avortement mais comme par hasard la personne en question est partie et ne m’a pas répondu.
Je peux porter plainte? Main courante?
L’assurance prends en charge ces frais? Pour que je rassure cette personne…
Il est hors de question que je paye l’avortement. Son chien est venu chercher ma chienne chez moi, qui était dans son abri.
Merci pour votre aide.

Donner le bain à un chien
Les étapes du bain
- Installez-vous dans votre salle de bain, fermée et chauffée l’hiver afin que votre compagnon n’attrape pas froid. L’été, veillez bien à fermer la fenêtre de votre pièce pour éviter toute fugue de votre chien si ce dernier ne supporte pas ou peu l’eau.
- Placez votre chien dans la baignoire avec si possible un tapis antidérapant pour lui éviter de paniquer lorsqu’il n’aura plus d’adhérence. Parlez à votre chien et rassurez-le.
- Mouillez votre chien à l’aide du pommeau de douche et dont le jet est réglé en position minimale afin de ne pas effrayer votre chien mais aussi pour que l’eau pénètre bien sous le poil de couverture, assez épais, de votre compagnon. Ainsi, mouillez bien délicatement l’intégralité du corps de votre chien à l’eau tiède (28-33°C). Prenez soin de ne pas mouiller ses yeux et ses oreilles.
- Lorsque la fourrure est bien mouillée, appliquez du shampoing sur tout le chien, en prenant soin de frotter au niveau de la queue, du cou et sur son dos. Vous passerez ensuite sur son ventre, son flanc, ses cuisses, ses pattes et vous finirez par la tête. Votre chien devrait apprécier ce massage de votre part. Ne lésinez pas sur le nettoyage des pattes.
- Rincez, toujours en prenant soin d’éviter de mettre de l’eau dans ses oreilles et ses yeux.
Le séchage de votre chien
Une fois parfaitement rincé (il ne doit rester aucune trace de shampoing), votre chien peut maintenant être séché. Utilisez une serviette éponge et séchez délicatement votre chien de la tête aux pattes. N’oubliez aucune partie de son corps.

Pour certains chiens, vous pouvez utiliser un sèche-cheveux (il en existe des spéciaux pour chiens) tout en évitant les oreilles et les yeux.
Votre chien est désormais tout beau et tout propre.
Genetics
There are very few people who truly understand how they can build muscle on their bully. The pit bulls, the American bull dogs, the American bully and the bull terrier are all extremely powerful animals that can develop a very muscular body. All you need in order to make that possible is to make sure that you know how to handle the 3 key elements to make this happen. In this article we are going to talk about all 3 of them and how you can make the most out of each one. Believe it or not this is exactly the same as it happens with human beings. The amount of muscle that your dog can build and the kind of definition that they muscles will have is going to be closely related to their genetic makeup. This means that no matter how much you train your dog and how good the nutrition is, you will only be able to reach a certain level. This is the reason why you need to make sure that your dog comes from a lineage that has a lot of well-defined muscular specimens. The more generations of bullies that get trained for massive muscle gains, the more likely that the dog will be able to build mass faster and without needing so much hard work.
Exercise
The fact that genes play a major role in the amount of muscle that your dog can develop, does not mean that they cannot become quit muscular and strong. Exercise is always going to be essential for their muscles to grow. You need to train your dogs with high intensity but they also need to be dragging heavy weight for their muscular development to be optimal.
The amount of muscular volume in dogs will be greatly affected by the weight that they need to pull with their bodies. If you want the dog to strengthen the neck muscles even more, you need to put a weighted vest on the animal. Just make sure that you only add a small amount of extra weight to avoid damaging the neck muscles.
You can increase this when the dog is able to hold on to the spring pole for too long. Always remember that you should not overtraining your dog. It’s always a good idea to let the animal rest for 24 to 48 hours after a grueling workout.
Nutrition
Some people seem to think that muscles grow from the lifting, but the muscles are actually damaged by the exercise and they repair thanks to proper nutrition. When the amount of exercise is heavy, the body will react by rebuilding the muscle with more volume, but in order to be able to add that volume, your dog needs to get a lot of protein on its diet.
If your dog is only getting enough nutrients to recover from the exercise, there will not be anything left to promote muscle growth and your dog will get more definition. But the size of the muscles will remain the same. Make sure that the dog can get plenty of protein and vitamins. There should always be plenty of water available too.
Hopefully with this information you will be able to get the best results when you are looking to build your dog’s physique. There are no shortcuts to building their muscles and you will never get optimal results if you don’t work very hard to achieve them however keep in mind proper rest and recovery is also important to help rebuild tissue and prevent injury.
Make sure that all of the 3 elements that we mentioned here are always in your priority list.

Tips on choosing a quality dog food
Pricing tips: When comparing prices on dog food, it’s important you compare the price per day, not the price per pound.
Lower quality foods are always less expensive per pound. But it doesn’t mean the cost per day is lower. In most cases, you’ll have to feed your dog twice, sometimes three times as much food compared to higher quality brands. This is due to the fillers used in low quality foods. Ingredients like soy, corn, & wheat provide very little nutritional value.
A 15 pound of high quality dog food without fillers (such as Bully Max high performance) will last you 30+ days.
A 15 pounds of low quality dog food with fillers will lasts 17 days or less.
Ingredients to avoid: Corn, soy, and wheat gluten. Meat (non-specific source of protein), grain, and by-products. BHA (Butylated Hydroxyanisole), BHT (Butylated Hydroxytoluene), Ethoxyquin, Food dyes (some of the food dyes found in low quality dog foods include Blue 2, Red 40, Yellow 5 and 6, 4-MIE), PG (Propylene Glycol), Rendered fat. Any dog food that contains one or more than one of these ingredients should be avoided.
How to spot a high quality protein: Make sure the #1 source of protein specifies the animal it comes from. Examples of high quality / animal specific sources of protein — chicken, beef, venison, duck, chicken-meal, venison-meal, beef-meal, & duck-meal, ext.
How to find the best prices for dog food: Always check on the manufacturer’s website prior to purchases from third party retailers (such as Amazon). In may cases you’ll find the food to be priced significantly lower on the manufacturer’s website. This is due to the high fees that Amazon charges retailers to sell on Amazon (usually 30% or more).

Tips on using Bully Max muscle building tabs for dogs
For maximum results, we recommend pairing Bully Max tablets with Bully Max dog food.
To maximize the results of Bully Max products, moderate exercise is recommended (not required).
To improve your dog’s cardio vascular health and speed up the muscle building process you can use two tools. One is the spring pole and the other is the flirt pole.
You can mount your spring pole in just about any area that a heavy bag (for boxing) can be mounted. This includes but is not limited to heavy bag mounts, tree limbs, underneath decks, garages (support beams), or even a swing set.
Here’s a video on how to make a spring pole:
Flirt poles are used to bring out your dog’s natural prey drive. The jumping and sprinting motions speed up the muscle building process and improve your dog’s cardio at the same time.
Here’s how you can make your own flirt pole for around $10 or less:
You can even make a FREE spring pole using house hold items such as a broom stick, dog toy, and a rope. The concept is the same as the spring pole shown in the video above. Both are just as effective at bringing out your dog’s prey drive.
Here’s some tips on how to use the flirt pole presented and created by our friends over at Dogumentary TV:

Le chien possède un muscle facial qui lui permet… de mieux nous attendrir
Comment résister à son chien lorsqu’il hausse ses sourcils ? « Oh, il est triste ! », répondent alors la plupart des maîtres tombant alors dans un doux anthropomorphisme. Une étude parue le 17 juin 2019 dans Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences révèle que cette expression redoutable a été favorisée au cours de l’Évolution.
La caractéristique « yeux de chiot » a été favorisée au cours du temps
Une équipe de chercheurs a comparé l’anatomie et le comportement des chiens et de leurs « cousins » sauvages, les loups. Les scientifiques ont alors constaté que si la musculature faciale des deux canidés est globalement la même, elle diffère en un point en particulier : au-dessus des yeux. Dans cette zone, les chiens ont un muscle supplémentaire, le levator anguli oculi medialis ou LAOM, qui leur permet de soulever intensément les sourcils. Chez les loups, ces structures ne se résument qu’à de petits amas irréguliers de fibres. « Nous avons également étudié le comportement des chiens et des loups et quand ils sont tous exposés à un humain durant deux minutes, les chiens soulèvent leurs sourcils avec plus d’intensité que les loups », ajoute dans un communiqué la chercheuse Juliane Kaminski.
Ces muscles se seraient donc développés durant des milliers d’années afin d’améliorer la communication avec les humains, ces derniers étant particulièrement attendris par cette expression qui confère aux chiens des yeux plus grands et une allure triste. « Les résultats suggèrent que les sourcils expressifs chez les chiens peuvent être le résultat de préférences inconscientes humaines qui ont influencé la sélection lors de la domestication. Lorsque les chiens font ce mouvement, cela semble susciter un fort désir de soin chez l’homme. Cela donnerait aux chiens, qui bougent plus les sourcils, un avantage sélectif par rapport aux autres et renforcerait le trait ‘yeux de chiot’ chez les prochaines générations », explique le Dr Kaminski. Pour le professeur Anne Burrows, également co-auteure, « c’est une différence frappante pour des espèces séparées il y a seulement 33.000 ans ». Dans ce cas, la réaction de l’homme a constitué une pression de sélection énorme.
Dans cette étude, les chercheurs ont montré que « evator anguli oculi medialis, un muscle responsable de l’élévation intense du sourcil, est uniformément présent chez les chiens mais pas chez les loups ». © PNAS / Juliane Kaminski & all
Concernant le muscle RAOL (pour « retractor anguli oculi lateralis ») qui « est très variable en taille et en présence. Il est présent chez la plupart des loups gris mais est généralement plus gracile que chez le chien domestique, et est constitué de maigres faisceaux de fibres musculaires », souligne l’étude. Tous les chiens domestiques possèdent ce muscle sauf les huskies Sibériens « qui appartiennent aux races de chiens plus anciennes et plus proches des loups que beaucoup d’autres races ».
Les chiens sont plus expressifs quand ils sont regardés
Das une précédente étude, Juliane Kaminski et ses collègues avaient prouvé que les expressions faciales des chiens sont soumises à l’effet d’audience : les mouvements faciaux de nos compagnons sont influencés par la présence d’un observateur. Ils sont plus expressifs lorsque l’expérimentateur est tourné vers eux plutôt que lorsqu’il leur tourne le dos. « Cela suggère que les expressions faciales ne sont pas seulement la manifestation inflexible et involontaire d’un état d’esprit, notaient alors les chercheurs dans l’étude parue en 2017 dans Scientific Reports. Mais plus une tentative active de communications avec l’autre ». Ils expliquaient déjà que le relevé de sourcils – ou expression AU101 dans la littérature scientifique -, « ressemble à un mouvement facial qui chez les humains indique la tristesse, ce qui peut potentiellement pousser ces derniers à faire preuve davantage d’empathie envers les chiens qui relèvent le plus les sourcils ».
