Adriana Copaceanu



If you have dog lovers in your family, it's time to think of some unique gifts you can give them this Christmas. They will remember this gift for a long time if you not only give them a gift form themselves, but include something for their dog or puppy.


To get your ideas flowing, here are some gifts you can get for the dog lover: of course, if you can take some pictures of their dog in advance, many of the following ideas will be even more special.


-a T-shirt/sweatshirt that says "My Dog Loves Me" - they'll be proud to wear it.
-a picture of their dog framed in a paw picture frame
- there is no better way to let them know you love them: every time they walk past this picture, they'll be reminded of your kind gesture, and that you took the time to give them something special.
-a collectible figurine featuring their dog breed - this will become part of the room décor.
-a dog lover's calendar - excellent gift that keeps on giving: every month they'll have a new beautiful dog to look at and enjoy.
-a nice, fuzzy, personalized throw to keep them and their dog warm on chilly evenings.
-a cooking book with dog recipes
-dog lover screen saver

Now that you picked a nice gift for the dog lover, it's time to find some gifts for the dog. Here are just a few ideas to get your started:


-a plush toy: be it a ball, a bone, or some other shape, dogs really enjoy these fluffy toys. Some come with a noise maker, but be careful that this toy won't become annoying for the owner
-doggy clothing: you may get something pretty, or, if you like practical, get something warm for the winter, so when they take a talk the dog stays warm.
-doggy treats are very popular these days, and you can find them in pet stores everywhere. But, if you have the time, cook some treats yourself, and make a new friend
-treat machine, similar to the candy machines, where you press a handle and get a piece of candy. This will entertain the dog for hours and get him a treat every time he presses the handle. What fun! -pampering items, like doggie shampoo, a nice brush, and even a nice bandana.

So, as you see, there are lots of ways to spoil your dog lover friends and family and their pet.

Shih Tzu - Dealing With Housetraining Problems

The best house training uses the shih tzu's own instincts to avoid soiling its bed to train the shih tzu where and where not to eliminate. That is the basis behind crate training, in which the shih tzu is confined to its crate in the absence of the owner, and den training, in which the shih tzu is confined to a small area of the home. In essence, the crate, or the room, becomes the shih tzu's den. Shih Tzu are naturally very clean animals, and they try their best to avoid using their dens as toilets. This type of training usually works very well, both for shih tzu puppies and for older shih tzu....
