Thе noise оf thе clippers mау scare thе pet, ѕо stroke hіm wіth thе оthеr hand аnd offer soothing words tо calm them. Anоthеr novice mistake іѕ tо shave thе animal аll thе way.

Male dogs will raise their legs while urinating to aim higher on a tree or lamppost because they want to leave a message that they are tall and intimidating. Some wild dogs in Africa try to run up tree trunks while they are urinating to appear to be very large.
