			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Having a family pet could be a fantastic thing especially if it&#8217;s a dog, man&#8217;s best friend so they say. Having a doggy though is a lifetime dedication, they may look all cute and sweet when they are a puppy, and they soon mature and also have undesirable behavior, equally as bad as an baby.</p>
<p>In some cases however, the owners just can&#8217;t manage having a new puppy, because of its behaviour, or even their own working hours are getting in the way, and at times the cost. Not a lot of individuals consider the expense involved in having this kind of a family pet, the first lot of injections needed the month-to-month worming and flea treatment, insurance policies, and foodstuff. But for all those who are fully commited and realize that they&#8217;re going to be problems to overcome it could be a delight.</p>
<p>When a new puppy is taken from its mother, that should be after 8 weeks and not before, and put in a new home they&#8217;re going to be really puzzled. Not just have they been taken away from their mother and littermates, but there are new sounds and scents to contend with as well. Permitting the new puppy to explore the home initially is important, just be prepared for little puddles and perhaps a poo or two. They will not have a lot of energy to investigate for long, so making sure that the specific area with a bed is already been made up for them, so they&#8217;re able to rest.</p>
<p>The first few evenings may be a lttle bit of a struggle, as they do tend to weep quite a lot, they have never ever been left on it&#8217;s own before. Quite a few people make use of dog crates within the first couple of months for the puppy to sleep in, and it might be advisable to position this inside a bedroom, exactly where the puppy can still see that somebody is there. Over time the dog crate may be moved further and further away till it is within the preferred location that you want the puppy to stay, for instance the conservatory or perhaps the kitchen utility room.</p>
<p>Its essential to begin teaching the puppy where to go to the toilet. In the event the dog breeder where you purchased the puppy from was great, they&#8217;d have already started this procedure of taking them outside. Make certain you are taking them out frequently and praise when they do their own business. It might be very best to not clean away what they&#8217;ve done straight away, because it will leave an aroma for them, so that they know where to go next time. It might be best to obtain a <a target='_blank' href="http://dogdoorsnow.com/">doggy door</a> installed. Show the puppy how to go out and in of it, with doggie snacks and lots of compliments.</p>
<p>Having a doggy door installed is ideal for when you need to leave the dog to go to work, or if you&#8217;re going shopping. They can allow themselves out to your lawn, play and do their business, with out doing it all over your flooring. There are lots of varieties of dog doors obtainable to accommodate any kind of door or dog you might have.</p>
<p>By training a puppy you&#8217;ll be able to make sure that they will develop to be a great dog and a lifelong buddy.</p>
<p>If you are wanting to purchase a <a target='_blank' href="http://dogdoorsnow.com/">dog door</a> for your house as well as your family pet then take a look at dogdoorsnow.com, exactly where they possess many various alternatives to choose from.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How can you tell that you have a good quality natural puppy food? You have to make sure that you have one that has no wheat, soybeans, corn, animal fat, poultry fat, by-products, added sugar or artificial preservatives.</p>
<p>Natural puppy food is an important part of caring for your dog right from the start. A healthy diet made up of natural puppy food will address myriad puppy issues.</p>
<p>As an example, does fetid gas from your puppy bother you often? The food is the most likely culprit for the gas. This is easily remedied by a good quality natural puppy food.</p>
<p>Recommended natural puppy foods include Solid Gold, Organix, Orijen, California Naturals, Innova-EVO, Nature&#8217;s Variety, Nature&#8217;s Recipe, and Sensible Choices. The last two aren&#8217;t as high in quality as the rest on the list, but they are far better quality than majority of the supermarket brands, and are in the more affordable price range.</p>
<p>You may be curious as to which among the recommended puppy foods is the best for your puppy. Do not fret too much over this. Just pick a high quality puppy food and it will all be okay.</p>
<p>Furthermore, if your puppy has any special dietary needs, she will find a way to let you know. For example, when people read &#8220;grain-free&#8221; in the ingredients list they automatically think that their dog will subsist on that food.</p>
<p>But only to find out eventually that it affects their dogs digestive system in not a good way. Truth is, some dogs cannot put up with a grain-free kibble as it has too high protein and is simply too rich for their systems.</p>
<p>There are also some dogs that get on fairly well on the grain-free diet. While others do well on a strictly raw diet, and some do great on a lower quality feed. Like people, animals are diversified and you will find out soon enough what will work best for your puppy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you look at small dog breeds, out of the lot of them, Yorkies are pretty cute. The key here is that although Yorkies are pretty popular amoung dog owners, there are a lot out there that just don&#8217;t do a good job training their Yorkies. Therefore, it&#8217;s to your advantage to know how to become good at training your new Yorkie.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s no secret that these unique little dogs are so fun and amazing. One of the neat things about Yorkies is that they are amazing companion dogs and just love to hang out with you where ever you are. Unfortunately, their strong attachment to you can contribute to dominant behaviours if they are not properly trained. Socializing this breed of dog then becomes a priority otherwise they might become aggressive.</p>
<p>Who is in charge in the relationship should be established right away. You must take control of your home, assuming the role of the alpha male in the pack. Your little Yorkie will try to take charge and steal that role from you. At any cost, do not let that happen. Your dog needs to know that you are in charge of your home.</p>
<p>Make the boundaries clear to the dog and simply exert your control over the dog. For your examination, some ideas to establish your leadership role:</p>
<p>When you feed your dog: the Yorkie should be fed at certain times that you establish, not the dog.</p>
<p>Establish a walking schedule and try to go as much as two times a day. Have command of the walks, not the Yorkie. To say it another way, don&#8217;t let the Yorkie walk you. When training a Yorkie, it&#8217;s important for you to show authority. You will see the Yorkie try to gain dominance by pulling on the chain and tugging you in the direction it wants to go: don&#8217;t let the dog do that. Do have control of the leash here as it is very important.</p>
<p>Little dogs love to jump around on people and funiture: you can&#8217;t let them do this. Set the boundries here and if they do jump, prepare a can full of pennies and throw it in the Yorkies direction so it makes a loud noise. This will scare the &#8220;jump&#8221; out of the Yorkie in a safe way.</p>
<p>When going to and fro from your home, it is so important to ignore your Yorkie. You can give attention to the Yorkie when it is calm and relaxed after about 15 minutes after your return.</p>
<p>Be the alpha-pack leader and training a Yorkie will be pretty easy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nobody enjoys returning home to a disheveled living room or accident puddles after leaving a dog home alone. If you lead a busy lifestyle and have no other option than to leave your pet at home, a possible answer is kenneling. Dog training with this technique keeps your home clean and also gives a comforting den for your pet to call home.</p>
<p>Before starting, you must choose which kind of crate to use. There are three options to choose from for dog training with a kennel: plastic, fabric with a collapsible frame and metal pens. The most common is the metal pen as it provides an open visible of the surroundings to the dog.</p>
<p>The dog house must be viewed certainly by the animal in order for this technique of dog training to work. Lay a favorite blanket within or toss in 1 or 2 toys to make him feel relaxed. Reward his interest in the kennel with treats and at last throw the treats inside. If he isn&#039;t willingly going in at about that point, it is vital to not cause him with this <a target='_blank' href="http://www.dogtrickacademy.com/">dog training</a>. If a dog isn&#8217;t ecstatic in a dog house, it can cause whining, uneasiness and accidents.</p>
<p>After the dog is comfortable with the dog house, ease into longer time periods by putting a food bowl within. As he eats, close the door, wait 1 or 2 seconds, and open it while he is still quiet. Continue until you can walk out of the room for at least 10 minutes. Practice this dog training each day till your pet sits quietly for 30 minutes or more. If he whines, try to overlook it till he is quiet again, then open the door.</p>
<p>Dog training with crates is extremely effective, but be aware of your pet&#8217;s bladder! Focus on how much food and water you provide before kenneling and let puppies out for potty breaks frequently. </p>
<p>While some think of crates as cruel, it&#8217;s really a comfort to the animal and a positive type of dog training. In the end, it&#039;ll pay off with a clean home and a very happy pet.</p>
<p>This piece of writing was written to market the notability of crates, we also believe that daily <a target='_blank' href="http://www.dogtrickacademy.com/">dog training</a> is crucial to a glorious life with your dog, so take a second and learn how <a target='_blank' href="http://www.dogtrickacademy.com/blog/clicker-training">clicker training</a> can change your dog&#8217;s life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The American home usually treats the family pet as an extra family member. Of course, we don&#8217;t go to the extent of inviting our pets over to the dining table, but our love for them is very clear. The health and maintenance of our pets plays a large part as well in our daily lives. These few steps are simple ways that can ensure the better health of your pets.</p>
<p>Make sure to annually vaccinate your pets. There have been safety issues, though, that have made some pet owners reluctant to vaccinate their animals. However, having your animals vaccinated could be key in helping them avoid deadly diseases such as parvovirus and distemper for dogs. Leaving your pets without a vaccine could be a costly decision, as a standard vaccine could prevent your animals from catching such diseases. Without vaccination, therapy for these illnesses can cost you more than a grand of hard-earned money. A vaccine doesn&#8217;t even cost half of that.</p>
<p>The next thing to consider is dental care. Your pet&#8217;s dental care is almost as important as it is for the rest of the family. Dogs that regularly get fed human food are especially in need of regular dental care. For pets, tooth diseases can easily lead to more serious kidney, heart and liver illnesses.</p>
<p>In fact, there are studies that show that 80% of all pets over three years old have some form of dental disease. Brushing your pets&#8217; teeth, whether we like it or not, is the best preventive measure we can take to protect our pets&#8217; teeth. For our pets&#8217; teeth, preventive measures are just as important.</p>
<p>Guarding against obesity in our pets is the last thing to be wary of. Maintaining our pets&#8217; diet and keeping it balanced can usually help against obesity. Shopping around the market for quality pet food brands that ensure our pets&#8217; health is a good way to go about this. Overweight pets may seem cute on the surface, but be aware that an overweight or obese pet can develop serious health problems. Among the health problems an overweight pet can acquire are joint pain and arthritis, as well as cardiovascular issues. Make sure your pet gets the right amount of exercise every day for best results.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever wondered what goes into dry dog food? I don&#8217;t mean the biscuits, although the same applies to them too really but they are usually quite expensive. I mean the dry dog food that comes in big sacks and proclaims to be a complete dog food. What is in it? The Truth.</p>
<p>Wheat seems to be the largest element, so how can you buy this stuff for $1 a pound, but a decent, two-pound loaf of bread costs $3 or more (in the UK)? The goods in the dog food have to be second-rate, don&#8217;t they? Dog food has to be safe for human consumption in the UK, but that doesn&#8217;t say much either.</p>
<p>The majority of of this dry dog food, particularly the cheaper brands, have to be full of ground bones, fish heads, feathers, sweepings off the granary floor and syrup to boost the calorific value. Surely, it is the canine equivalent of junk food?</p>
<p>I fed my collie-cross almost solely on dried dog food for eight years, because I could set the food down in the morning and it did not go off while I was at work. She ended up with canine diabetes mellitus.</p>
<p>I took her to the vet one day because she had gone blind &#8216;overnight. She had advanced cataracts due to diabetes. From that day on, I had to collect some urine in the morning, test it, and then inject her with insulin. Sometimes she had a fit.</p>
<p>I carried on feeding her dry food and during the next months, I had to escalate her insulin regularly. Soon it was nearly a full syringe and I did not want to give her two shots a day, so I looked for a solution on the Net.</p>
<p>A vet on a pet forum said that it was well-known that the high sugar content of cheap dried dog food frequently caused canine diabetes after prolonged use. Perhaps, it is common knowledge, but I didn&#8217;t know.</p>
<p>Another forum member told me the same and suggested a raw diet consisting of 1 lb green beans, 1/2 lb carrots, 1 lb raw mince meat, 2 raw eggs, calcium powder, bran, multivitamins and 8-12 cranberries. Process the green beans and carrots, mix everything bar the cranberries together and partition into four. My 45lb dog had one portion and 2-3 cranberries two times a day.</p>
<p>The very first day I gave it to her she had a fit. I had calculated her blood-sugar with the old food in her. The new food did not contain as much sugar, so I had given her too much insulin. The next day her insulin requirement was about 35% of what it had been the previous day.</p>
<p>My dog lasted a further two years with the new diet, which my vet said was unusually long, because animals do not get the same level of after care as humans.</p>
<p>I experimented with the diet over the years and found that adding an apple or two or a few Brussels sprouts did not affect my dog&#8217;s blood-sugar. Ever since then, when I see someone heaving a large bag of dry dog food into a trolley, I feel sorry for their dog.</p>

The bites and presence of fleas will cause the dog to itch and if the dog happens to be allergic to fleas (the allergy is technically to the insects' saliva) it can experience extreme itching, loss of fur in some places, inflammation, and infections.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For dogs as well as their owners, fleas are a problem. These tiny insects will live on the body of your dog, sucking the animal&#8217;s blood and laying eggs. The bites and presence of fleas will cause the dog to itch and if the dog happens to be allergic to fleas (the allergy is technically to the insects&#8217; saliva) it can experience extreme itching, loss of fur in some places, inflammation, and infections. Infestations must be dealt with regardless of whether a dog has an allergy to flea saliva otherwise they will go on and on and the fleas will also infest your home, other pets, and can even live on humans. In short; you can be directly and adversely affected by an uncontrolled flea infestation.</p>
<p>How to Detect Fleas:</p>
<p>If you suspect that your dog has fleas because it&#8217;s been scratching more than usual, there are ways to check for their presence. Fleas are brownish in color and they are visible to the naked eye even though they are very small, about an eighth of an inch long. Because they prefer dark places they will try to hide beneath the dog&#8217;s fur, under the collar, or on the underbelly. As for their fecal material, it can also be seen on the dog&#8217;s coat and looks like multiple black flecks or specks, almost like pepper. When you do find fleas or their droppings, then it is time to treat your dog to get rid of them.</p>
<p>How to Treat Your Dog for Fleas:</p>
<p>Flea collars, powders, and sprays will not help if the dog is already infested but they may help when it comes to preventing infestations to some extent. When fleas are infesting a dog the female lays eggs at a rate of about thirty per day. These eggs fall off the dog and into the carpet, soil, or wherever the dog may be. In these areas they hatch and pupate, eventually growing into adult fleas which can then re-infest the dog. In order to halt the cycle all the fleas on the dog and in the environment must be killed or the life cycle must be interrupted.</p>
<p>For dogs, there are several flea treatments available but one of the best is an oral medication that will not kill adult fleas, but does kill the eggs and larva. As long as the dog is not continually exposed to new fleas, then this will interrupt the flea life cycle and prevents them from coming back. If that is happening, the source must be cleaned of fleas whether it is the carpet, the environment, or other dogs with which your pet associates.</p>
<p>Fleas can be a real nuisance for dogs and their owners, but catching them and treating the dog quickly is the key to eliminating the infestation and preventing the insects&#8217; return.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As with most things in life, when it comes to dog training there are many different ways to go about it. And, of course, it will be helpful for you to know about these different methods and techniques so that you can decide which one you think will work the best for you and your dog. Here are a few:</p>
<p>You can reinforce your dog positively for doing things well. This, for example, would mean giving him a treat when obeys a command immediately and when he behaves himself well.</p>
<p>Negative reinforcement: Reinforcement always means that you try to get your dog to do more of what he just did. This can be done by reinforcing the behavior positively or negatively. Positively means that you give him something that he wants, and negatively means that you take something away that he hates.</p>
<p>You can also punish your dog for negative behavior. This means that instead of rewarding positive behavior, you punish negative behavior. Theoretically, this teaches the dog to avoid misbehaving in order to avoid being disciplined. However, I do not highly recommend this technique.</p>
<p>Another technique is extinction: Extinction is a sort of punishment, really. But instead of giving something (i.e. hitting someone), you take something away. This time it would be taking away something the dog likes. For example, your attention. You might just ignore him.</p>
<p>Hand signals are another technique you could use to teach your dog. Simply come up with different hand motions that you can use to signal certain commands.</p>
<p>Whatever techniques you want to use, here are some tips to help you succeed in dog training: Start the training as soon as possible, preferably when your dog&#8217;s still young. Apply positive dog training techniques as much as you could.</p>
<p>Also keep in mind that short, sweet sessions are better than long and boring ones. Also always try to be as patient as possible and do your training in a safe environment.</p>
<p>Dog training can be quite challenging and asking for help with experts or professional dog trainers might be a good idea. Also read as much as you can on the topic to give yourself a chance to fully understand this topic.</p>
