      Thai Ridgeback Dog Training & Understanding Guide Book - Vince Stead

      1.  The Characteristics of a Thai Ridgeback Dog

      The Thai Ridgeback dog was found in eastern Thailand since the middle ages. The origin is undocumented, but they were developed in Thailand. Their first appearance was more than 400 years ago. They were used by farmers as guard dogs. They are very protective and they were known as The Cart Following Dog. They were not very well know anywhere outside of Thailand. Another name for the Thai Ridgeback is Mah Thai Lang Ahn. They are rarely in the US or Europe, but they are still very popular in Thailand.

      They are one of the three breeds that have a ridge or hair that run along its back in the opposing direction on the coat. When they are puppies they sometimes do not have the ridge. Their body is very muscular making them very agile canine. They have sword tails that go upwards. Their teeth meet at a scissor like bite, their tongue is black or can have black spots on it, and their eyes are almond shaped and brown. The Thai Ridgeback coat is dense and comes in four different colors, which are red, blue (grey), fawn, and black. Grooming for this breed is very easy, just brushing every now and then to remove dead hair is good.

      The Thai Ridgeback dog has very distinctive traits about them. They have a wedge shaped head, prick ears that are set low, wrinkles on their foreheads, and square shaped bodies, and long legs.

      The Average height for a male dog is about 22 to 24 inches and the average height for a female dog is 20 to 22 inches. The average weight for a Thai Ridgeback is 51 to 75 pounds on average. Their life expectancy is about 12 to 13 years for this breed of dog. The Thai Ridgeback dog is a very healthy breed, so they have little to no health issues. The only thing that they are prone to is dermoid sinus, which is a skin condition. They should be exercised daily to keep them healthy. These dogs prefer warm weather; they can't withstand the cold weather.

      These dogs can be stubborn and headstrong, so it is a good idea to start training then at 8 weeks otherwise they will be very difficult to train later on when they are bigger. Also start socializing them when they are puppies, so that they are good around people and other animals. They can be aggressive if they aren't socialized correctly.

      This breed of dog is very intelligent. They make a great family pet because they are loyal, love to be with family members and other household pets, and they are very loving dogs.

      They are very protective, so they make a great guard dog. They need a dominant owner who corrects them when they do something wrong, otherwise they will always have aggressive tendencies. If you are looking for a breed who you want to always follow your commands and to keep out of trouble, this is probably not the best breed of dog for you.

      2.  What You Should Know About Puppy Teeth

      There is no doubt about it; puppies are going to chew on things!  Dogs will have 28 baby teeth, and 42 permanent teeth.  When a puppy is roughly 2 to 3 weeks old, their baby teeth start to come in.  All their baby teeth should be in place by roughly 8 weeks of age.

      The puppy’s new teeth are very tiny and sharp, and will hurt your fingers when they get a hold of them.  Most mothers will start to wean their babies at 5 to 6 weeks old.

      Your puppies baby teeth will start to come out around 8 to 12 weeks of age.  By roughly 8 months old, your dog’s permanent teeth should all be in.  You should make sure that all baby teeth are out, so that a tooth does not get left in, and another one comes in and crowds the space, and also gives your dog pain.  You would need to visit the vet if you see this happening.

      Your puppy is going to want to chew on something, just like a real baby, their teeth are coming in, and they want to relieve some of the pain. It is good for them to chew, to help the teeth come thru.  You would want to get some appropriate chew items to help them.

      You could start to train your dog to have their teeth brushed.  You can pick up doggie tooth supplies at your local pet store usually, and get down and dirty and brush your doggy’s teeth.  Rawhide chews are an excellent source of good tooth hygiene, as they are good for your dog’s teeth, and can help take off build up plaque, and dogs usually love it also!

      A lot of puppies and dogs end up getting human food usually from the weakest link in the family.  If your dog is under the table, they usually will go to the person they think will mostly likely give them some food scraps.  If you do, just remember, chocolate and some nuts can kill your dog, never give chocolate.  Raisins can be just as deadly for your dog, do not give, they can shut down your dog’s kidneys, so be very careful of these products and your puppy or dog.

      3.  How to Select Treats to Train Your Dog With

      Dogs need to be rewarded the way we humans love being treated.  Would you like someone hanging a treat over you, and then just patting you on the head for a good round of tricks shown?  The answer is obviously a NO!  The same thing happens if you do that to your pet, he gets de motivated and annoyed as well.  He would not trust you the next time around if he doesn’t have an incentive to bank on.

      You may have seen your friend or neighbor offering treats to their dogs for a good job done.  But remember, your dog needs one, but maybe not the same treat as other dogs.  Some dogs would love a certain treat, while others wouldn’t care for that treat as much as a different kind. They would certainly want more than what the other dog is getting at the moment.  Now this is left up to the owner to figure out, you have to understand your dog’s likes and dislikes.  Change the levels of the treat rewards for your dog, so that he understands why he gets what he gets.

      Level One:  Here you should give him a reward for the job he is willing to do, not for standing on his head or back flips. This reward should be a standard treat for all the goodness he does for you.  You can consider this to be like his daily wage.

      Level Two:  Your dog would want this reward more than the first one, since it is for something special or a special occasion for which he would get this. This reward should be kept when
