I plan to go on vacation to another country and I would like to bring along my dog. What countries, do you know require that a dog should have a passport?
Answer
Very few.
You obviously don't understand the difference between the "Pet Passport" used to allow qualifying dogs to travel around the European Economic Community and the British Isles, and the passport-with-visas that a citizen carries when travelling abroad.
EVERY nation places health requirements on livestock and plant materials that people wish to bring in to the nation, in order to keep out viruses and insect pests and bacteria and ticks, etc, that the nation is so far free of. In the case of dogs, the usual requirement is an inspection and blood titration by a vet licensed by the nation's Ministry of Agriculture BEFORE the pooch gets on the ship or plane (my X litter got born in Britain because the pregnant German brood failed one of the titrate tests so was refused access to the plane she was booked onto), and a thorough inspection on arrival. Clean countries such as Australia and NZ then require that the pooch spends a session in quarantine, unless the pooch arrives after a residency period in the other, or Britain, or Hawaii, or Scandinavia. (Points out how few truly clean countries there are, biologically, eh!)
So you need to write down the order of the countries you intend to travel through (which might be none, if you fly non-stop from home to the destination country), then contact either the embassy/consulate of each country you propose to go through, or your own Agriculture Dept, and find out the regulations for entry into each country from each preceding country.
A blind person can have the quarantine set aside for their guide dog, but no-one can have it set aside for a pet dog.
Unless you live in that "Pet Passport" area, I reckon that you'll need to find a top-quality boarding kennel for your pet while you are away travelling.

How can I stop my dog from licking and jumping?
browneyedg
My dog loves to lick everyone and all the other animals. I love my dog to death, but after a while it can get annoying. We can't even pet the top of his head without him licking your hand. I've tried to hold his mouth closed and say no, or tap his nose and nothing has worked. It just makes him want to lick even more. He also loves to jump on us when we get home. Even if we've been gone for a few minutes. We've tried telling him no and pushing him off us, but that hasn't helped either. He's a very loving dog and I don't want to scold him just for trying to love us and show affection. Does anyone have ideas on how I can get him to stop?
Answer
Two Issues: Jumping & Licking
Jumping - fairly easy. He wants to get up to your face to say hello.
1. When you come into a room, you can try kneeling at his level and see what he does. He may not jump, but may still lick. We'll get to that in a moment.
2. For the people who don't want to kneel, turn to the side or turn your back. That is a calming signal, according to Ian Dunbar and to Turid Rugaas, that dogs use to communicate... don't jump.
3. When the dog calms down, and doesn't jump, then praise him immediately. If he jumps, stop petting and turn, again.
4. If you want, you can without attention, until he sits, but pet and praise immediately, when he is quiet... and before he has a chance to get frustrated and bark... If he barks, try to ignore him, because if you pet him, then he will learn that barking gets attention.
Licking
This is easy to stop, but difficult to reduce. I let my dog lick me, because I didn't want it to stop completely.
1. Treat this like nipping, and use bite inhibition techniques. This means that when ever the dog licks, you yipe! as if hurt. He will startle, and stop licking. He will probably come back to you and try to apologize for injuring you. Pet and praise him.
2. If this works as described, then consider carefully and precisely when you want him to lick and when you don't. For example, you may not want him to lick your hand as you pet him. Then, while you pet him, yipe when he licks. If he stops licking then praise him and continue petting.
3. However, yipe a second time and stop petting, if he continues to lick.
Be aware that this is a powerful and effective training tool, but it can be wielded like a 2' x 4' board. Use it carefully and precisely, because you can stop him from licking completely... And most owners like the love and licking ... in appropriate doses.
I still use this method to communicate with my 7 year old Golden, and it is a great communication method.
