A nation of Dog Lovers?

A nation of dog lovers? Here in the UK, we like to think of ourselves as a nation of dog lovers. But according to a study commissioned by the Dogs Trust Charity, local authorities kill 150 stray dogs every week in the UK because their owners cannot be traced or a new home can't be found. As dog lovers, what can we do to make a difference and prevent this from happening? It seems like such a huge...

The Most Fatal Mistake Must Be Avoided by Dog Owner

Andrew Heuw


When it comes to training their dog, most people just only want their dog to become the next lassie. No matter what way. It's such dangerous to have your dog obey in tough way.
While, indeed, you can still manage to train your dog in this way, like the old circus did a long time ago. Considering the effect for long term...Do your dog still obey you year after year? Or they suddenly turnaround to be your greatest enemy?
We've seen so many dog attacked their neighbor. I assume is not their fault. It's because their owner's fault. Why I assume like that? Because, believe or not, dog has similar behavior with human. When you threatening your son like nice guy, when grow up the chance are he'll become nice guy and vice versa.
So, it's very important to train your dog not based on fear. But based on respect you. Your dog is your family, that will protect, and do whatever you want. But only when you know how to communicate with them.
In a matter of fact, your skill to communicate with dog, can make you earning a hundred thousands of dollars. Want a proof? Just go to Hollywood.
It's such important to train your dog carefully. And more important when come to choose the kind of methods to train your dog. When you're busy and don't have a time to train your dog, should you hire professional trainer? Shouldn't , don't ever do that.
Train your own dog is important to develop the connection between you and your dog. This connection can be developed by giving your dog to stranger. You don't need to train your dog overnight, just spent 15 minutes each day is enough.
Remember, never hand your dog over to stranger to be trained.
Training your dog need consistency like everything else. It's non-sense to believe your dog can close the door on his own in a night. Everything need a time. But eventually, your consistency will be paid off. Just do it step-by-step don't overdo it.
Threat your dog like the way you should ( as your best friend) and not like a toy.

Training Your Puppy The Right Way: Why Using The Crate Is The Safest Thing For Your New Puppy

Tom lives in a gated community of six houses. The woman who lives in the house next door to Tom just got a new Border Collie puppy. Tom immediately gave her a print-out of my dog training book (which you can read more about at: http: www. dogpro blems. com secretsbook. htm ) She read the book. Especially the part about using a crate to confine your puppy when you’re not home. (This is the same way you’d confine a baby to a crib or a play pen when you can’t keep 100% of your attention on your baby). It prevents your puppy from learning bad habits, and it also gives your pup a sense on security...

Safe Dog Toys

Dog owners love to think of their dogs as children. That's my baby, they'll say when referring to their dogs. They'll refer to themselves as Mommy or Daddy when talking to their dogs as well. And, of course, they buy their dogs toys to play with. Choosing the right dog toys can be tricky. People like to get cute, squeaky toys for their dogs or give them stuffed animals to chew on and carry around (the stuffed toy becomes the dog's baby quite often - Get your baby, checkers! Checkers, where's your baby?") because they think it's adorable. Dog toys don't need to be cute. They need to be practical,...
