| Article Title :: How to Choose a Dog Walker that's Right for Your Dog |
| |
|
If you are like most working Americans you are low on time and
high on tasks. You might put in long hours at the office. This
shortens the amount of time you spend engaging in dog walking
with your best canine friend every day. Different dog breeds
have different daily exercise requirements, so your pooch might
need extensive dog walking or run in the middle of the day.
How can you take your dog walking and be at work at the same
time? You can hire a dog walker to be your dog walking
replacement while you are at work. Often times a dog walker is
more then just a necessity because many dogs that have limited
dog walking time become irritable. Dogs need to have daily
exercise and human conn (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How to find the best horse for your child |
| |
|
Owning a horse is a huge responsibility for an adult, much less
for a child. Owning a horse requires a lot of time and money,
both from the parent and the child, therefore, before you decide
to go horse-shopping, it's best that you sit down and discuss
the responsibilities and tasks involved in owning and caring for
a horse with the child. A horse, remind them, is not a mere
domestic pet. It's unlike a cat, dog or hamster. Horses require
more than that.
Let your child know that the owner of the horse should be ready
to take on the responsibilities of grooming, exercising,
feeding, washing, playing with and caring for the animal. These
responsibilities should be done daily, otherwise, both (read full article) |

Clicker Training for Dogs
What is a 'clicker'?
A clicker is simply a small plastic box, containing a metal
plate which, when pressed, makes a 'click' sound.
What is clicker training?
Clicker Training is a method of 'positive reinforcement
training' - that is, rewarding the behaviours that we like
instead of punishing behaviours that we don't like. When the dog
does what we want him to do, we 'click' and give him a treat.
So, we train the dog to understand that the 'click' means "well
done" and that a treat is coming.
Benefits of Clicker Training
The benefit of the clicker is that it makes a consistent sound
and we can make the sound at the very moment that (read full article) |

| Article Title :: Pet Safety at Christmas |
| |
|
Things change at Christmas time - new people come to your house
with strange new things, you rearrange furniture, add new things
like trees, get more tired, and pay less attention.
All these things can confuse your animal companion causing them
to do things they ordinarily wouldn't do, and also bring harm to
themselves.
Since it has been my fate to learn from experience, sometimes
vicariously, sometimes straight-on, I'll include examples which
I hope this article will keep you from having to experience.
1. Keep careful track of visitors' possessions.
People bring all sorts of things in their suitcases and purses,
like nitroglycerine and sleeping pills. Keep purses and luggage

behave. Therefore, it is necessary to teach your new puppy
appropriate behaviors and also some fun tricks. You can try to
do this yourself or you can enlist the help of a dog school.
There are many different types of dog schools available. What
dog school would be the best for your dog? Things to consider

| Article Title :: The Facts on Dog Bite Lawsuits |
| |
|
While dogs may be our best friends, some dogs can become
aggressive and bite someone. A dog bite falls under the law in
the personal injury category. Each state has various laws
regarding the liability of the dog's owner. Following are things
you should do if you are bitten by a dog.
Dogs that bite can do it for a number of reasons. Perhaps the
dog has always had an aggressive nature and perceives you as an
unwanted stranger. Historically, there are certain breeds that
have been known to harbor aggression. The Pit Bull breed is a
common example.
The dog's breed is only one factor and doesn't always mean the
dog will be aggressive and prone to biting. You might encounter
a dog that has b (read full article) |
