			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It is an exciting time when you get to bring home a new puppy. He quickly becomes part of your family and you create a bond with lots of cuddling, trips outside and walks in the park. If buying from a breeder, you will want to be sure you choose a responsible breeder versus a backyard breeder (those who are only breeding for financial benefits). When shopping for your new dog, there are things you need to expect from your breeder as well as some things the breeder will expect from you. If you have found a responsible breeder, which can be done through references, he or she may come across as a very nosey person. This is okay, considering that the nosier breeder, the better!</p>
<p>No matter where you find the right dog for you, the same basic rules will apply. You will find that a very young puppy only vaguely resembles the adult dog you admired on the street or in the show ring. Older puppies, between the ages of six and twelve months or so, go through an awkward adolescent stage during which they seem hopelessly out of proportion. You will often get a better idea of what the puppy will eventually look like if you observe the adult members of his family, (when this is possible).</p>
<p>Try doing a rough calculation of cost for several different dog breeds over a twelve month period. Take into consideration food and regular visits to the vet for inoculation, worming etc. You will see that larger dogs are very often much more expensive to keep. If you have children, you may want to consider what dog breed would suit them. Children can be quite heavy handed with pets sometimes; getting a Chihuahua for example may not be such a good idea as they are delicate animals. Similarly, having a Great Dane or Saint Bernard marauding around the house could be dangerous for a child. The age and number of children you have should definitely be considered as this will affect what type of dog would best suit your circumstances.</p>
<p>When you must choose a puppy from a litter you should proceed by elimination. First of all is sex, male or female, this will eliminate one-third to half the group. Then you might consider colors or markings, next a playful and happy attitude. But always bear in mind the role he will play in your life. Do you want an active playful dog, or one that is quiet and more reserved? Go with the one that most closely fits your lifestyle.</p>
<p>Here are a few things you should ask your breeder about as well as some expectations that you should have: Is there a signed veterinary health certificate, plus a written health guarantee from the breeder, including one against congenital defects? Are ACVO eye screening and OFA or Penn Hip certificates completed, to avoid any future problems with the puppies? Does the breeder have a written contract available for you to sign, specifying the rights of the seller and also the breeder&#8217;s rights? Is all health information available and up to date? Can the breeder provide AKC or CKC registration papers on the puppy? What is the lineage of the puppies?</p>
<p>A responsible breeder should be able to tell you lineage from generations back, as well as giving you a family tree of the puppy. Responsible breeders will be able to help you find the puppy that is right for you and will be happy to give you tips on raising and caring for your new bundle of joy. As long as you find a responsible breeder, it&#8217;s a sure thing that you&#8217;ll find the perfect puppy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most people favor the simplistic approach of picking up the yellow pages, while the more techno-savvy sorts prefer the Internet when it comes to looking up dog behavior training programs. Both methods have their inherent disadvantages &#8211; the telephone book may be quite lacking in scope, especially if you live in a small town, while the Internet, on the other hand, is not for everybody &#8211; let us face it, not all of us have the computer know-how to make the most out of the wide world of cyberspace, especially when researching for specific information.</p>
<p>So many companies claim to have the best program. Here&#8217;s some insider information that may be of help &#8211; many people find it best to ask the following questions when shopping for dog behavior training programs, and when they do, they often realize they made the right decision.</p>
<p>You will first need to examine, scrutinize, review the program to see who created it.</p>
<p>Does this person have any real experience with training dogs?</p>
<p>Do they have a proven track record with dog training basics?</p>
<p>Do they give easy to follow instructions with real solutions, not just vague comments?</p>
<p>Are they results-oriented trainers who do not adapt methods that rely on cruel treatment?</p>
<p>The next step is to see how accessible the program is.</p>
<p>Can you immediately have your dog participate in the program? Do not sign up with any program that promises immediate information yet makes you wait an eternity!</p>
<p>The following are just a few of the essential training basics you would need to ensure are present when choosing a dog behavior training program: Praise as a training tool, dealing with jumping issues, dealing with aggression, agility training, communication training, resolving biting and chewing issues , use of food as a training tool and basic housebreaking &#8211; the list can go on. You would also want to be sure that such training covers the areas of choosing puppies and raising them, as well as sundry advice on dog breeds and varieties.</p>
<p>Then you need to know if the dog behavior training program you have chosen is guaranteed.</p>
<p>Do they offer a 100% moneyback guarantee?</p>
<p>Last, but not the least, find out whether the program has a record of success.</p>
<p>Can you ask for references or testimonials from others that have used the program?</p>
<p>Are they freely and openly giving you access to these testimonials?</p>
<p>How detailed are the testimonials given to you?</p>
<p>Take note of the pointers we have mentioned above and you will find a dog behavior training program that is agreeable to you as the owner and your precious little canine buddy.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If your new puppy just arrived in your home, you are probably wondering just how hard it will be to housebreak him. If you follow these three easy guidelines, your puppy will be housebroken in no time at all.</p>
<p>First of all, you should take your puppy outside every hour, and try to always go to the same spot. Don&#8217;t move from that spot and don&#8217;t walk him. Let him have the length of his four-to-six foot leash. Use positive reinforcement when he goes, and offer him a treat. Make sure to pet, kiss, and hug him too, and reward him with a walk around the block. After the walk, let him move around the house freely for about twenty minutes. Then put him into his housetraining crate for 35 minutes. (You should discard the crate once your puppy is housetrained.)</p>
<p>If you&#8217;ve waited outside for more than 20 minutes, and your puppy hasn&#8217;t relieved himself, bring him home and put him into his crate for 20 minutes (just to assure that he doesn&#8217;t relieve himself in your house), then take him outside again. Repeat this process until he relieves himself outside.</p>
<p>Take him outside before you retire for the night. You&#8217;ll also want to take him out once or twice during the night without taking him for a walk or letting him run around the house. You will be glad in the future that you have taken the time to do this.</p>
<p>The second week, you should take the puppy out every hour and a half during the day, and only as he needs during the night. He&#8217;ll let you know when he needs to go. If he uses the bathroom outside during the day, let him play for 30 minutes after that. And if he doesn&#8217;t, let him get back in his crate for 35 minutes. Make sure you keep him monitored when he is inside.</p>
<p>Gradually add time to his supervised free run and crate time until he&#8217;s successfully holding it for three hours during free run time, and four daytime hours in the crate. Take the puppy outside as soon as he gets out of the crate.</p>
<p>It will only take about ten days to give your puppy an idea, but training doesn&#8217;t end there. You should certainly continue your efforts. If you catch your puppy sniffing around the house and squatting, shout &#8220;outside!&#8221; and take him outside immediately. Praise him outside as he finishes up. But don&#8217;t forget to watch him during free time, so that you can catch him before he goes if he still has a bit more to eliminate.</p>
<p>Housebreaking a puppy involves work, but your efforts will pay off in time.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In today&#8217;s environment, finding a professional dog training specialist can quite honestly make you even more agitated than Rover himself when he&#8217;s barking at the moon for no good reason. While you have a reason for the agitation and Rover may not, you also have a reason to read the following tips in finding the right dog training professional:</p>
<p>A good reputation. Ask around and you shall find, as fellow dog owners, veterinarians and kennel club members can spread the good word about a good trainer.</p>
<p>He/she must be experienced. Make discreet inquiries about the trainers&#8217; abilities, recommendations, experience and background.</p>
<p>Devotion to profession and a love for the canine species. Look for somebody updated in his/her information. Dedicated trainers keep themselves updated by attending dog training and animal behaviour courses, conferences, seminars and workshops. Their training methodology and handling skills. A good trainer will always be concerned about the dog&#8217;s welfare. A good trainer must be part of at least a few animal training associations and organizations &#8211; good ones, must we add.</p>
<p>Make sure that you and your dog get the most out of your training experience, and make it productive. If you are not in the right mood for training, don&#8217;t even begin. Your dog must be rewarded should he do the right thing! A reward is anything that your dog wants and is willing to work for. Rewards do not have to be restricted to chew toys or treats &#8211; even verbal praise makes a great intangible reward. Focus on several quick and punchy sessions rather than one drawn-out session. You have no business training if you are a negative sort who likes to mete out punishment! We empathically implore you not to integrate any physical abuse (choke chains, hitting, collar or chain yanking), no screaming, and please, do not treat your dog like a truculent drunk busted for DUI &#8211; NO ELECTRIC SHOCKING, PLEASE! Reward your dog for good deeds and ensure the session remains positive and you should both be fine.</p>
<p>ARTICLE BONUS &#8211; about training with head collars</p>
<p>Pulling on the lead is one of the few unpleasant experiences of bringing up a new puppy or dog. Fortunately, the use of a head collar for dog training has made some headway in the training field, no pun intended. There are quite a few reasons why training with a head collar definitely beats training with your run of the mill training collar. Although very simple to use, it is important that head collars are fitted correctly and your dog properly introduced to the collar. Your dog will certainly feel more at home with head collars, instead of the traditional training collar. Head collars are very effective when controlling dogs in difficult situations.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Is barking a form of language among dogs with precise significance, or just playful noise? Dogs exchange information among themselves less by voice than by a wide range of facial expressions, body postures and gestures, as well as by various scents. Dogs, who bark at night, are probably working off excess energy or announcing their presence, and this is undoubtedly the only message conveyed to other dogs within ear shot. </p>
<p>When a dog goes to his owner and deliberately barks, it is simply meant to attract attention. You must try to guess his general behavior, rather than from the circumstances and his general behavior, rather than from the particular form or pitch of bark he makes. The howling or baying of hunting dogs is an instinctive hunting cry informing the pack that the dog is on a trail. Barking at strange noises is a warning as well as a threat display.</p>
<p>A lonely dog who bowls may be sending out a gathering cry to other dogs nearby. Wild dogs on the other hand, never back, they only howl. Could the barking of domesticated dogs be a form of communication more closely resembling speech? A pet dog that shares a close relationship with his owner and has been taught to understand many words obviously makes an effort, sometimes quite successfully, to give meaning to his own utterances. </p>
<p>A dog who wishes to assert his importance and boldness instinctively employs all of the effects that make him look bigger and more frightening, raising his back ton increase his height and holding his head high in defiance. A dog who wants to show submission does just the opposite, making himself look small by crouching down with his tail between his legs and his ears laid back flat.</p>
<p>A dog who wishes to assert his dominance will take a perpendicular position with his head over the other dog&#8217;s shoulders, while nudging or pushing, with his neck arched, head and tail raised and tense. The conventional play invitation is a posture with the forehead crouched, the hind quarters high, a wagging tail, bright eye and a little yap. A rigid stance with a steady gaze and a high, trembling tail is hostile. A high, steady tail signifies self confidence, and held low indicates inferiority, fatigue, ill health, or a bad mood.</p>
<p>Pawing at the neck is an expression of affection, nose-nudging is another invitation to play. Paw-giving is a conventional canine gesture with two possible meanings. When he gives his paw to his owner while avoiding eye contact he&#8217;s saying &#8220;Please forgive me&#8221; or when he wants attention, he is saying &#8220;I&#8217;m here, don&#8217;t forget me.&#8221; When he offers his paw to another dog, it&#8217;s a sign of submission.</p>
<p>An owner, who takes the trouble to observe his dog and pay him the courtesy of listening to him, can establish a simple two-way communications system with his pet. Canine messages are generally very elementary, as he asks much less of us than we do of him. &#8220;I&#8217;m hungry,&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m thirsty&#8221;, &#8220;I need to go out&#8221;, or &#8220;Come with me I think something is wrong&#8221; are among the messages he manages to convey very well considering his limited means. His most eloquent utterance is the emotional gurgle of barks that means to say &#8220;I&#8217;ve missed you!&#8221;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When going away or struggling with a hectic work life, it can be difficult to find someone to look after your pet. You do not want to bother your friends and family but you also do not want to give into kennels. This is where you should be looking at professionals who take pride in their dog walking, pet sitting or dog boarding abilities.</p>
<p>Whether you decide to opt for a professional company or someone who is self-employed, there are many more benefits to having somebody in your home looking after your dog, rather than taking them to a generic kennel, even kennels that have been recommended by people that you know.</p>
<p>Having someone to look after your dog while you are away has benefits for your pet. One of the first advantages means you do not have to put the animal into a kennel and it stays in its own environment. It can stick to a regular routine and its usual diet. Dogs are like humans in the way that they like routine, that way they know what they are doing and it can help them stay fit and healthy.</p>
<p>Travelling and new places can be harmful to your pet, they find going to new surroundings traumatic, and especially when surrounded by people they do not know who are looking after them. A kennel can also mean being surrounded by other pets and a lack of care and love. By having one person that is used to looking after animals, your pet can be cared for the whole time that you are away, which will help it to stay happy and healthy.</p>
<p>There are also benefits for you, as the owner. The main one is that fact that you know that your pet is being looked after by a caring person. Most businesses that look after animals is owned and run by caring people and animal lovers. You will be more secure knowing that your dog will be looked after if it comes down with an illness or contracts an infection. By using a professional, you can also be safe in the knowledge that other aspects of your dog&#8217;s care can be taken care of, such as feeding, grooming and exercise.</p>
<p>It can also mean that your house is also more secure. The sitter will be in and out of your home on a daily basis, which will deter thieves from breaking in and stealing anything. There may also be times that the person you have hired will stay the night to look after you pet, which will keep it, and your animal, secure during the most dangerous time.</p>
<p>So if you have found your work schedule increasing so you cannot take your dog for a walk or you are planning on going away for a few weeks, it is time to consider a dog walking, dog boarding or pet sitting business to help you and your pet feel more comfortable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It only takes one insect to infest an entire house. A flea infestation can start with one pet and spread to the human family members. Flea larvae and eggs need to be killed, removed, and exterminated from the animals and home. Many products are sold to get rid of fleas, however, some methods are more effective than others, while others can be dangerous. Be sure to read up on any potentially hazardous chemicals to avoid harming children and pets during usage.</p>
<p>Checking pets regularly for flea eggs and bites is important to find the source of the problem. Avoid allowing infested animals inside a house, especially if they are stray or abandoned. The animal can be washed carefully with warm water and soap. If the problem persists, use a flea shampoo.</p>
<p>Soft, plastic flea collars are infused with a chemical that kills and repels insects. They may only be used for a short period of time. When left on for too long, they can cause health problems for people and pets exposed to the fumes.</p>
<p>The gels and sprays that are offered by veterinarians will usually be waterproof and should be applied about once a month. Some might find that these are too expensive and not easy to find in some areas. They are safe for pets, but they should only be used for the animals for which they are made.</p>
<p>Beds, cushions, and other objects the pet has come in contact with should be washed with a solution of warm water and detergent. Area rugs will need to be shampooed or vacuumed with a flea powder. Flea powder kills the insects as they are sucked into the vacuum cleaner. In some cases, an exterminator may be needed.</p>
<p>Certain varieties of flea might be passed to human beings. Sprays and candles can help to repel them. A flea bite looks like a large, red mosquito bite. Soothe itching with an aloe gel or an anti-itching powder.</p>
<p>Flea bites are an inconvenience, though they should heal up in a few days and will not cause disease. A minority of individuals are allergic to flea bites and might need medical attention if shortness of breath occurs. Avoid scratching flea bites to prevent infection.</p>
<p>As flea populations quickly multiply, get rid of fleas as soon as possible to avoid a large infestation. Furniture that cannot be thoroughly cleaned will need to be tossed. An infestation that becomes out of hand can destroy a household.</p>
<p>Making sure you know <a href="http://www.dogs-101.biz/how-to-get-rid-of-fleas/">how to get rid of fleas</a> is key to the health of your pets. <a href="http://www.dogs-101.biz/ear-mites-in-dogs/">Ear mites in dogs</a> is another typical ailment that can be managed with proper remedies.</p>
