In our last blog we reviewed a few ways we could workout with our furry friends so both of us stay fit. We could all use a little more exercise! Listed below are a few more suggestions for these "buddy" workouts: 1.) Sumo Squats for the Critter This workout is similar to the Squat and Toy Press.

For those of us who have the pleasure of owning a pet, the benefits are fairly obvious. Pets offer unconditional love, listen to us without offering needless advice, and make fantastic snuggling companions. There is nothing like coming home to someone who is genuinely excited to see you and who wants nothing more than a chew toy for Christmas. But for all of the love we give them, we also seem to

Lyme disease is a bacterial infection. It's been around for a long time but made headlines back in the 1980's when there was an eruption of the disease in a Connecticut town called Lyme. The bacteria is carried by a common deer tick. It's passed by a bite. Both people and pets can be infected, tho the disease will manifest differently.

Everyone wants their dog to listen and obey commands. But many people struggle with this, thinking: "I do everything I can and have tried multiple dog training methods, but he still won't listen!" There may be a reason for this. Your dog may think HE is the leader of the pack! Dogs are instinctively pack animals. In a pack, there's a pecking order to the group, with the alpha dog being at the

Sometimes, it is not enough to read the things you need to do in training your dogs. Reading does not always result to effective application.

Because we all live in a high tech world, all of the methods in getting

Some people mistakenly think that kind and firm solutions reward their dogs for bad behavior and that the only way a dog can learn is to suffer. More often than not, the "solution" for the dog's misbehavior is really misplaced anger or a desire to hurt the dog for hurting you. That's what happened with Francie, who left her new puppy Cody, an American Eskimo dog (a very attached breed who needs

A huge benefit of training your dog in home is that it saves you time. Taking the time to train your dog now, will actually save you time in the long run.

After reading many electronic books about dog training, dog problems, dog obedience, I finally decided to try something new - dog obedience training videos and I must say that they rock

Dog training can be challenging for both the trainer(s) and the dog. But once success is achieved it is most likely that you will want to reward you canine campanion and any “training assistants” for a job well done.
