Dog tooth cleaning is essential for your dog’s dental hygiene and after your dog reaches the age of two to three years plus, dog tooth cleaning will become more and more essential as your dog grows up.
Every time your dog has a bowl of food or some treats (some treats help with cleaning teeth) some of the food gets stuck around the gums and mouth of the dog. This food then turns into plaque and after staying there for a short period of time of about one to three days, this plaque turns into tartar which is a key element in gum and mouth diseases which can put your dog in a lot f pain.
To combat these diseases you will need to get rid of the plaque and you do this in much the same way as us humans do it, witch is by brushing them. Dogs are a little bit trickier to deal with than humans so training will be needed.
First you need to get your dog to sit using the commands learnt on this site. If you cannot do this yet then it should be taught first. Start by gently breaking your dog into the habit of you playing with their teeth and around the mouth area by rubbing a tasty nice tasting treat around the teeth and mouth, if your dog acts well and lets you do it you should reward him/her for their patience with a treat every time.
After your dog is comfortable with you playing with their teeth, start to do the same but with dog toothpaste so they get used to the taste and sensation. When you and your dog are comfortable with you using your finger instead of a toothbrush its time to make the swap to the real thing.
To brush effectively you should move the dog toothbrush in circular motions to dislodge plaque and start from the back teeth working your way to the front, don’t be too rough with your dog and always try to keep it fun for them and you shouldn’t have too many problems.

I've never heard of anyone getting training JUST to clean teeth on animals. It's veterinary technicians that do the majority of dental care in most general veterinary practices.
http://www.avma.org/education/cvea/vettech_programs/vettech_programs.asp
ADD: Most states are heading toward requiring that veterinary technicians be licensed/certified/registered, so if you want to be a veterinary technician, it's best to go to school and get your certification. Like I said, most often, it's the technicians that clean teeth, but you'll have so much more to learn than teeth in order to become a technician.
aw thats so sad, i want to know if she got her eyesight back
Well if the vet has already cleaned them that means all the tartar is already gone now all you need to do now is to PREVENT tartar and plaucque build up. It wouldn't be the best thing to brush your dogs teeth yourself because i bet you don't know how to do it professionally like the vets do it quick, simple and easy(that's not an offensive fact).
You should buy your dog DentaBones or DentaStix. They require all the extra vitamins and minerals for your dogs teeth to grow healthy and strong and the Bones and Stix also protect your dog teeth from plaque and tartar build up PLUS smelly breath. They cost around $ 3-7 for a 4 bone packet depending the size of the Bone or Stix.
Also Kong Toys are the way to go. You may know about them but if you don't they are like a toy but a toothbrush at the same time. They usually come with an attached doggy toothpaste which you insert inside the toy and when they chew on the toy it cleans their teeth while they have fun chewing and trying to root out the paste at the same time, It keeps them mentally stimulated that way also. The Kong Dental Toy is a specially designed rubber Doggy Toothbrush ( as i told you) so because its special rubber for dogs it massages the gums and feels great. The paste comes in all different Flavours like Peanut Butter, Spearmint, Peppermint, Meaty Treat and much more. All the flavours are all guaranteed to smell great inside your dogs mouth. Hope this helps you!
P.S I don't know how much the Kong toys cost.
LMAOOOOO
Pit bulls are not the brightest dogs around, so you have your work cut out for you. Sounds like she needs a firm Basic Obedience class and needs to learn "leave it" and to listen when you give a command. Pits have a high prey drive so you are putting your cats at risk as long as she won't listen to you. She needs to see you as the leader and do what you tell her to do. Take her through Obedience until she learns to really mind.

I think the guy is an idiot, and that he needs to find somewhere else to live.
As I understand it, dogs pretty much need one 'top dog' figure. If this guy isn't around during the day (and if he isn't, then why did he get a dog?), then maybe it needs to be in the run in the meantime. He won't respect your authority in the same way as his owner's.
I personally would ask people who come and hang out at my place to clean up or they don't come back. What if one of the dogs cut their paw on the broken glass? I don't see that the dog was to blame for that one, if it was left out on a table at tail-wagging level! And if he had not just done it then and there, how was he to know what you were hitting him for?
Maybe you should see if you can take the dog (since, as you say, your dog is fond of it and will be left alone a lot once the other dog has passed away). Then *you* could take it to classes. Sounds like you could pick up a thing or two, too!
EDIT: Oh, God. Your roommate is even for of a d*ck than I thought, then! I am so sorry for you and even sorrier for the dog. *makes special angry face*
Tough situation. Would any of your good friends be in the market for a dog, then? Someone who actually knows what dog ownership entails?
Otherwise (and slightly less confrontationally), I would suggest saying to him that you can either adjust the amount of rent that he pays so as to cover the dog food (as well as costs you incur in fuel going to get it etc), or he can choose to buy his own dog food himself. If you do do this, I suggest you do it at a time when you, your fiance and he are together, sitting down in a semi-formal discussion.
I really hope this works out…
Interesting
It is anxious behaviour, and possibly the best thing is to ignore it and not rub her belly, until she learns she doesn't need to be anxious and display like this.
Fear/Anxiety is displayed by:
Fight…..biting, fighting, agressive displays,snarling etc
Flight…..running away,hiding, pulling away from being touched
Freeze…standing still,laying down.shaking,trembling
Fooling around………submissive urination,rolling over,jumpung up, spinning etc………………this is how you dog is displaying its fear.
By rubbing her belly you are praising her for being fearful and anxious, so she thinks that you want her to feel like that, which is not what you want, you want her to feel calm and confident. as this is a behaviour you don't want you need to correct it or ignore it ( really depends on the dog and you and what is appropriate) and be consistant with what you do everytime,as soon as she is upthats when you praise ( and at first she will just roll over again) because she has been praised for feeling fearful, in her mind praise equals people want me to feel fearful…………so you are going to need lots of patience with this little girl. The nice thing is this dog is calm submissive with this display, so be gentle, however be firm and consistant with her and practice at getting your timing right, because it all hinges on timing, shes fooling around (ignore) as soon as shes up (praise) she will go back down so quick as soon as your hand goes down to praise, so maybe no hands, just voice, and if you are using treats, hold them higher so she has to get up, hold them tight in your finger so she has to touch you to get it….this will help her hand shyness and she has done it herself, rather than you 'forcing' her by pulling her up…………so she is learning to do things on her own which will in turn build her confidence.
'SpeakerBox' spot on, and by doing this she is changing the fear behaviour herself
'jdgallagher2001' is right about "The belly is the most unprotected part of the dog, so they are leaving themselves vulnerable by rolling over on their backs" but she doesn't need to be rewarded because she is doing it and has learnt to do it from fear, you don't reward fear. Well adjusted dogs will do it around their owners and its OK to rub their belly……and in time I am sure you will be able to do it with her.
Sad that animals can get better cheaper health care then people.
Either one of those dogs will make an excellent apartment dog. Shih-tzu and Maltese don't shed much so your mom won't have to worry about the hair all over the carpet. Small dogs can be harder to train than the larger ones, but if you take the puppy out every 30 – 45 min for the first week after you get it and after every meal, after drinking water, after waking up from a nap, and after playing. Also it is good to crate train them but if you are going to be gone for a long time like when you go to school you should confine them to an area like the kitchen or bathroom where there is no carpet for them to pee on and where it would be easy to clean up after them. Never let a small puppy have free run of the house without supervision, you must watch them at all times to make sure they aren't going to pee or poo where they shouldn't. You can paper train the pup but sometimes this confuses them into thinking that it is ok to potty in the house. it's better to take them outside if you can or else if you are too high up in the apartment and you have a balcony maybe put a puppy pad out on the balcony and take the puppy out there every time to potty. When the pup goes where it's supposed to give it LOTS of praise. When you catch the pup trying to go in the house tell it NO and take it to where it's suppose to potty (either the pad or outside) once the pup goes where it's supposed to Praise it. if the pup goes in the house and you didn't catch it in the act just remove the pup from the room and clean up the mess (it's not good to have the pup see you clean up because they may continue to go in that spot if they do).
I have 3 dogs (a 3 yr old Shih-tzu, a 4 yr old Shih-tzu and a 12 yr old yellow LabX) and we live in a one bedroom apt. I take the dogs out for 3 walks a day when the weather is nice, and the Shih-tzu will exercise themselves in the house when the weather is rainy – they LOVE to play with their toys ;o)
Dog must see world
@welcomegohome second that.
Use a dry cloth to clean the ears, well you might need an ear cleanser, you don't mention the breed. Most breeds swallow their teeth when they are teething, I have not heard of one choking on a tooth, but I guess it could happen, ask your vet if that ever happened. I use a crate* to potty train with, but only for potty training and then I break it down and store it. I put blankets and a small food and water dish in the crate. Dogs don't potty where they eat and sleep. When they are first little, I only expect them to hold their potty for 4 hours, and then 6 hours, then 8 hours and so on. So when they are first little, I set a timer or alarm clock to wake myself up at night to take them *out. I only allow my puppy in the bedroom* or the living room, only one room at a time. They have to graduate to more space. If I allow them to have full run of the house, it will overwhelm them. I take them out the same door each time. I tie a dinner bell to the door handle. Do not use a jingle bell as they could get their toe caught in it. So when they are little, I ring the bell for them, and then open the door to go *outside to potty. When they get bigger, I take their paw and whack the bell and open the door to go potty. Eventually getting to the place where the puppy will ring the bell and let me know when they need to go potty. Dogs want to please you, so it is your job to let them know what behaviors please you and what doesn't. So when my puppy goes potty, I give her a treat*, and clap, and make a fuss and praise her. So she learns that going potty outside makes me happy. If she has an accident, make a disgust sound like “tsst” and take her out right away. I never yell* or spank* my puppies. Take them out when they first wake up, after they eat or drink, before nap, finish romping, when their activities change, or when they are sniffing around. Some puppies go pee right away, but may not go poop until 10 minutes later, so wait for the poop. I have a little play time here, because sometimes I think they are done, and they are not. Puppies train at their own pace. While I may have a puppy that hasn't had an accident in several weeks, I don't let my guard down. I don't expect my puppies to be "fully potty trained" until one-year-old. If they have a setback, shake it off, and start over. I only have my puppies in the crate when I am not watching them. When I am sleeping, cooking, ironing, doing chores, basically when I am not watching her. All other times, she is out of the crate practicing being a "big girl." This is the time I train her how to behave in the house. So we are practicing "no barking", 'no biting", "no jumping", and "don't eat the furniture." I also have to practice "playing inside" so she doesn't knock over things. You must keep the puppy in sight when they are little because they don’t know the difference between newspaper and carpet, and you don’t want them sneaking off and getting into trouble. Some puppies can sleep through the night around 3-months-old, but their bladder is grown around 6-months-old.
REVISIONS:
*I use a CRATE to train with. It is the method I prefer, compared to other methods I have tried. I noticed that if they are in the crate, while I am doing chores, they are o.k., because the crate allows them to see me and be re-assured. The crate can also be a comfort when stored in the basement for dogs who live in areas where thunderstorms and tornados are an issue. . However, use the method that works best for you…..a laundry basket, a cardboard box, a woof-woof house, x-pen, child gates, whatever works for you.
*OUTSIDE, pee pad, litter box, whichever method you are using. When the puppy is first little, keep the pee pad, litter box near the food and water dish, so the puppy can eat and drink, and then go potty. You can move it away as they get older. The pee pad has a scent that smells and initiates potty. Sometimes a pee pad makes a sound that scares some puppies, so you might want to use a litter box if that happens. The pee pad allows a puppy to walk around, but a litter box keeps the puppy in one place.
*BEDROOMS, I use the bedroom and living room for training, because it works for me. Choose rooms that work for you, but watch for rooms that are damp, or drafty. While my puppies sleep in the bedroom during training, once they are trained, I let them sleep where they want to. They don't have to sleep in the bedroom forever.
*TREATS. While I use treats for training, you don't have to. I like Charlee Bears for training (a little cracker for a little mouth,) I use them for training, but once they are trained, I cut back on them.
*SOME PUPPIES will go potty in the same spot each time. Some puppies have to be told to go potty. A command like "go out" for pee, or "go finish" for poop, might work for you, keep saying “go finish” until the puppy poops. This is a good thing to train if you travel with your dogs. By using commands, the puppy won't get confused when you are visiting someone, on vacation with you, or when you get to a new home. The command will tell them what you want them to do in an unfamiliar place. You might also want to use a leash method, so the puppy doesn’t sneak off, or for strange places.
*YELLING. It is not a good idea to "yell" or "spank" your puppy and then take them outside when they have an accident. They may get confused and think that going outside is punishment. While you want to correct them, if you are extreme, they may not want to go outside again. Shake it off, and resume your schedule. You have to keep it real. Puppies train at their own pace, but a puppy can only hold their potty for a few hours. A guide would be 1 hour for each month of age, plus 1 hour, so a three-month-old puppy should only be expected to hold their potty for 4 hours at most.

I agree with welcomgohome
NO, this not interesting!! i miss the days when national geographic would report on the far flung corners of the earth, isolated and unique cultures, interesting animals and NOT things like surgery on dogs, tattoos and smuggling.
