Training puppies

December 23rd, 2008 by author

Training puppies: all you need is a gentle, but firm hand and a lot of patience!
Although that old saying about teaching an old dog new tricks really isn’t true, training puppies is much easier. Puppies are full of energy, cute and pretty silly sometimes! Just like children, they’re into the moment and don’t want to focus on a single activity for long. You don’t want to begin training puppies too early. However, when your puppy is about 3-4 months old, the time is right. You need to start slowly, in 15-minute lessons, with a reward at the end. As time goes on, a proper approach to training will result in a pup who looks forward to these sessions. An eager pupil is the best kind.

Which Aquarium Plants To Have

December 1st, 2008 by author

Whether you are a child or an an adult, we are all fascinated by aquariums for some unknown reason. I think it might have something to to do with the fact that aquariums are fun, and are often the way to go when renting apartments that won’t allow other types of pets. Most who own them love to add extras to make the scenery more interesting, as well as to give the inhabitants something of a natural setting, even it it’s not exactly perfect in that regard. Some add pebbles and all sorts of objects, and most have some sort of aquarium plants as well. No matter what type of critters you have in your aquarium, these are always a good idea.
One of the most common type of aquarium plants are the ones you put into the water with fish. These are commonly plastic, but I would think there are some real types out there that you can buy. However, they could prove to be problematic, and perhaps that is why many stick to the plastic types of aquarium plants. Fish are easy to care for in most respects.

German Shepherds Are The Most Excellent Family Pets!

December 1st, 2008 by author

Perhaps that statement sounds a little biased. That’s probably because I’ve had two German Shepherds as family pets and in both cases, these dogs were the most lovable, happy and loyal pets I’ve ever known. Mine didn’t come with papers, but both came from families whose dogs had just had puppies. These youngsters were well cared for by their masters and both puppies reflected that loving care in their behavior throughout their long and healthy lifetimes. In both cases, the puppies picked us rather than the other way around. When I sat down amongst the first batch of rambunctious puppies to observe them, they all ran around energetically, chasing their siblings and their own tails.

Pet Beds & Pet Bed Spreads

November 30th, 2008 by author

Shopping for Pet Beds & Pet Bed Spreads for family dogs and cats has become a booming business, as the rubber toy gifts take second place for today’s papered animals.  You might not believe this, but some potty pet owners even spend more on their pet bedding than they do on the baby’s cot! From memory foam pillows to fluffy blankets and decorative mattresses, all of which I hasten to add are not appreciated by the animals.  If there is no harm done to the animals, then I guess it’s just a case of live and let live, but by crikey there’s none funnier than folks eh!  I actually stopped visiting a friend’s house once because they had me sit of the floor at the dogs feet. Their obese mongrel bitch called Cindy had been given one of only 2 arms chairs and when she wanted to sit down, whoever was in her chair at the time, had to get out and make way.

Personalized Dog Christmas Ornament

November 27th, 2008 by author

Personalized holiday items like food dishes, sweaters, toys, and decorations are just a few of the popular items.

The entertainment factor is definitely one of the reasons we have pets after all, but sometimes their playful antics can be quite disastrous! Take a picture of your dog or cat up to no good and have it transferred onto a keepsake ornament to remind you of how mischievous they were year after year!

Cat Bowls That Feed Your Pet On Time

November 24th, 2008 by author

There are some that have automatic feeders that dole out a certain amount of food at certain times. They are expensive, but if you have a lot of need to be away from home, these are going to be a great investment. Not only will these cat bowls feed your pet on time, they will also ensure your pet has food that is somewhat fresher than a pile that was socked into the bowl all at once. You also may want to think about more high tech cat bowls for water for your cats. One thing that your pet must have, in addition to food, is a fresh water source. If they can’t get it from their bowls, they are going to be in your sink or tub trying to get it. There are some automatic bowls for cats that continually recycle the water.

Why Choose A Florida Tropical Fish?

November 7th, 2008 by author

Dog Rescue Groups

November 4th, 2008 by author

Dog Rescue Groups

My mom has always said that everyone needs a cause. In the case of my girlfriend, it is animal rescue groups. I had never even really thought about dog rescue groups until we got involved together. I knew that animals were sometimes put down because there was no one to adopt them, but I didn’t realize how common of a problem it is. Dog rescue groups are there to draw attention to the plight of unwanted and abused dogs. Some of the things that I’ve learned from getting involved in one have been quite disturbing.

Still, there are some uplifting aspects of animal rescue groups as well. First of all, you get to make life better for dogs and other critters. A lot of people don’t think about the plight of pets in this country, but it can be pretty serious. A lot of dogs out there are simply not taken care of. People get them because they think they will be entertaining only to abandon them when they realize how much work it is to raise a dog. Other times, people treat them as objects, feeling free to abuse them as a way to get out aggression or anger. In dog rescue groups, you take these dogs off of the streets and out of abusive homes and, hopefully, put them into a safe and supportive environment. Although the dogs cannot thank you, you know they would if they could.

Facts about Buying a Chincilla

October 29th, 2008 by author

When buying a chincilla, it is important that you buy it from a reputable breeder or pet store. When you purchase one from either place, you’re probably getting a reputable one. Beware of those who are amateur breeders. They try to sell their chinchillas also, but it’s usually in classified advertisements. Personal preferences decide on whether or not they should buy the pets from breeders or pet stores.

If you do buy one from a pet store, make sure that facility has a reputable following. The employees there should be knowledgeable about what you’re looking to buy. They should also be able to offer you tips and suggestions to keep your pet healthy. If you’re looking more on the breeding side, you should get one from a breeder. They will be able to advise you on the different aspect of breeding, etc.

To learn more about chincillas, read the complete article at chincillas.pampering the pets.com

Buying a chinchilla from a pet store is not without its risks. It’s been noted that some pet stores take chinchillas that can’t be bred or the skin can’t be removed. If you are considering one of these pets from the pet store, ask about the breeders and related sources, along with a history of how they were raised. This way, if they have any problems, you’ll know up front.

Dog Food Coupons

Though you may know people that have only one dog in their home, most have more than one. Some even have five or six. Dogs are amazing companions to people, but they are much happier if they have at least one of their own kind that lives with them.

Having more than one dog is a lot of fun and a good idea, but it might mean that you have to keep an eye out for dog food coupons so that feeding them all is not going to break the bank.

How To Stop Dog Jumping Behavior

July 13th, 2008 by author

Dogs who jump on everybody they meet are going to create an unpleasant incident sooner or later. Such behavior is specially dangerous around elderly people and young children. So take the time to learn how to stop dog jumping behavior if you do not want the risk of a lawsuit, or worse. And enjoy you dog.

Teaching your dog how to sit is very important first step in learning how to stop dog jumping activity. By performing this command, you dog will be distracted from jumping, so you must make sure that he sits when he hears the command. You should continue the training until your dog sits ALL of the time or else it won’t be considered successful.

For the training you should begin with your dog standing in front of you. You can immediately determine when your dog is about to jump up. What you want to do is look for the signs - muscles tensing, tail wagging etc… When you notice that they’re thinking about jumping up command the dog to sit. If the dog jumps up on you regardless (and he likely will at first) bring your knee up to his chest and firmly tell him Off. You might be tempted to say down. However, that is the command to get your dog to lay down and should only be used for that purpose.

Try not to scare or hurt your dog, just gently knock him off balance. Lifting your knee a bit should do the job. This is just associating the command with the action. Make sure he gets rewarded with a treat and verbal praise when it is done. With enough repetition, he will soon obey the “Off” command.

Pug Health Problems

July 13th, 2008 by author

Part of what makes the Pug so adorable is their flat face, but it can also cause a few pug health problems. The shape of the face and the way the eyes protrude may make them prone to ulcerations if they touch the food bowl or anything else. This isn’t a huge problem, just something to be aware of.

One of the issues that you will find in a Pug is an elongated soft palate that is associated with the shape of the face. In the Pug, this flap of skin at the back of the throat can constrict the airway causing several annoying issues such as funny breathing, coughing and snoring. If any of these problems become to annoying they can be corrected with surgery.

Pug Dog Encephalitis is an inflammation of the brain and generally starts when the dog is between 2 and 3 years old. There is currently not much information available about the disease, but it is always fatal. If your dog has seizures or has trouble walking and muscle weakness your vet should evaluate the Pug as these symptoms can be caused by problems other than Pug Dog Encephalitis.

Training A Dog For Children

July 11th, 2008 by author

Training a dog for children is actually not very difficult, but part of that is training your children to be kind around your dog. This is a two way relationship and responsibility must be on both sides. You want to make sure you train your dog not to nip, but or jump up before he is exposed to small children and this will go a long way in warding off problems.

Of course, in most cases dogs and kids get along great! After all, they seem to be on the same level and most develop a strong bond, but one can’t be too careful and an unfortunate incident can have long lasting effects. For this reason you want to take some extra steps to err on the side of caution.

While it’s critical to let kids know that they must be considerate and gentle with a new dog, it is wise not to leave him unsupervised with very little ones. If you allow the youngsters and the new dog to get used to each other gradually and in your presence, that is the best way to introduce them to each other and help them form compatibility.

Dog Training Techniques - How Your Dog Thinks When You Are Training Him

July 9th, 2008 by author

Dogs see the world in a whole different light than humans do, unfortunately one of the mistakes we make when training our dogs is that we expect them to act like a child would. While they understand and respond to people about the same way a two-year-old would there are major differences in how they experience reality. They have major sensory differences including a highly sensitive sense of smell as well as the differences in responding to the visual stimulus of reds and greens. If you understand these differences, you can get insight into how your dog thinks when you are training him and make the training session go a lot smoother.

Don’t expect much more from a two-year-old dog than you would a two-year-old human. You can’t expect them to rationalize or unserstand hints. You can’t give the same command in two different ways and expect the dog to understand. Be persistent and do it the same way, every time. Don’t let the same command have more than one meaning. It really doesn’t matter if you use the command ‘down’ to mean ‘lie down’ or ’stop jumping up on people,’ as long as you don’t try to use the same word for both.

You can start training your puppy as early as you want. For some breeds, four weeks is a good time to start. For the first few months, you should allocate at least thirty minutes per day, though a full hour is probably better training.

Start by using a short leash which will hinder the dog’s natural tendency to run and play. Of course, you do need to let the dog run and pay in order to promote good health however this should be at a different time than your training session. Initially, this time should be scheduled before or after training but not during.

Pug Dog Health

July 3rd, 2008 by author

The pug is a common and beloved pet in many households, but is not immune to illness and disease. For this reason, you should be aware of some pug dog health issues.

This breed has been with us for over three thousand years, and this short haired animal has been a member of the AKC Toy group since 1885. You probably would recognize one on sight from its flat wrinkly face, thickset body, and curly tail. Pugs generally weigh between 13 and 20 pounds and are about 10 to 14 inches tall.

Ironically, it is these very unique features that actually attribute to the unique health concerns of the breed. However, this should not deter you from adopting one as providing the proper care to avoid these health issues is really quite simple.

One of this is the dog’s wrinkly skin. The folds of the skin create pockets which can collect dirt and bacteria which can cause infection to set in. Therefore, you must take care to keep your dog clean, bath him properly, and make sure you clean out inside the folds of the wrinkles. If you notice any sign of infection, take your pet to your veterinarian right away.

Another factor which could cause pug dog health problems is its eyes. Because of its peculiar shape and location on the face, the pug’s eyes are not protected properly and are prone to injury and other problems. Look for any inflammation in the eye regularly and take the dog to the Vet immediately if you identify any problem in the surrounding area.
