Training your puppy not to bite

Biting is one of those things that every puppy seems to do, and every puppy must be taught not to do.

Review of K9 Bytes Dog Collars

Patty King


This is an amazingly strong collar for one that is handcrafted. I got one for a large dog who has been known to break collars in the past. Not only is this one sturdy enough for her, but there were so many gorgeous styles to choose from. You are able to find a collar that perfectly matches your dogs personality. From patriotic to floral, this store has it all.
They come in 3 different sizeds (small, medium, and large), and you can adjust them to your specific dog’s needs from there. They are quite easy to adjust.
I also really enjoyed the quick release buckle. If you need to take your dog’s collar off in a hurry, it is so much easier to push a button, then pulling and tugging the other kind.
This collar also comes with an o-ring, so you are able to obtain identification/rabies tags and attach them to this collar.
These are beautifully made and put together. You will not be disappointed with this product! I highly recommend them. Check their store out at: http://www.k9bytesgifts.com

Where to Find Free Dog Tags

Free dog tags usually come in the standard, basic materials, such as stainless steel, brass, anodized aluminum, or plastic. If you've ever tried to do a web search for free dog tags, you know what a pain it can be. Websites claim to offer free dog tags, but in fact you have to buy something first. This can be OK in many cases, especially when you need to stock up on pet supplies such as collars, leashes and chains, and other dog supplies. It doesn't cost much to make a dog tag, so manufacturers will offer these for free in many cases. Just imagine your dog's name on a tag, arriving in the mail,...

Do They Really Need a Dog Bed?

When Lucky was starting to show signs of aging, we were concerned about her comfort. She would have a hard time getting up in the morning. Her legs would shake and she would take five minutes just to get up, where once she could pounce up in a second. Her hips were really thin and her muscle mass was decreasing rapidly. What we found out was that we could help her by getting an orthopedic dog bed. The sad part is, we probably could have helped her avoid this by getting it for her when she was younger. See, dogs can develop calluses and arthritis from laying on hard floors or rocks in the ground....
