Agility is excellent exercise for you and your dog. It is fun for children and also teaches them coordination and a sense of accomplishment for every new obstacle that they learn.

Let us now see how to teach your pet “Over”, which means jumping an obstacle. In order to begin agility, it is a good idea for your pet to know basic obedience (Sit, down, stay, come… etc.).
Equipment needed

• 6-12’ leash

• Small jump or hurdle not higher than 6 inches (4 inches for tiny dogs).

• Very yummy treats.

Steps to follow

Follow these simple steps, as many times a week as you can, and soon your pooch will be flying over hurdles

• Walk your dog to the front of the jump about 2 feet away. Make him sit.

• Ask him to stay and walk around to the other side of the jump.

• Show him that yummy treat and call his name. Make sure you do not allow him to go around the jump. He will probably just step over it for the first few times, this is fine.

• As he is stepping over it, say “Over…. Dogs name…. over,” in a very excited, happy voice. When hw is over the jump, give him the treat and praise him.

• Repeat this on the other side of the jump.

Always do this with your dog on the leash, this will set you up for success. If he is off the leash, he might just come around the jump.
When your dog knows the word ‘over’ and will hop over can start getting him used to jumping it at your site.

• Walk towards the jump with your dog and as he is coming up to it, say “Over… dog’s name… over,” and make sure you keep walking.

• If the dog tries to go around, simply stop, back up, and come at it again, closer this time.

• When he does go over, give him his treat.

• Repeat this both ways at a walk. When you feel comfortable and your dog hops the jump without pausing, come at it at a jog.

• If he tries to go around it, slow down to a walk and come at it again. Then when he is reminded of what he is supposed to do, try jogging it.

• Make sure you always reward your dog when he does what you ask and never punish him if he does the wrong thing. Always stay positive and he will love agility.

Repetition and consistency are the keys to teaching your dog agility. It is worth it and will help to create a strong bond between you and your dog.

Dogs are just like people when it comes to liking something. They have different tastes and feelings towards different things. Certain dogs may like one taste of dog food while another may not even give it a chance. The only way to know what your dog will like for dog treats is to try different ones and go from there.

There are so many different kinds and tastes when it comes to dog treats. The different flavors may not be as agreeing with all dogs. The only way to know if your dog will like a certain dog treat is to give him one and see what the dog’s reaction is. If the dog likes this particular dog treat, then he will surely let you know by wagging his tail, and licking his lips.

If the dog hates this dog treat, chances are he will drop it to the ground, sniff it and walk away all after he gives you a very dissatisfying look. This is how most dogs would react. Some dogs may even bark at you as if to say, “what were you thinking”. However, this is the only way that you will ever know if the dog agrees with your choice in treats or not.

If you have more than one dog, you may find that they all like a different treat. If this is the case, then you will have to buy more than one brand of dog treat. When this happens, it may be hard to keep them straight especially if you have a few dogs. The best way to keep the dog treats separate and know which one is for what dog, you will have to put them in separate containers and mark them.

There is crunchy, soft, sweat, and salty dog treats available. There are so many that you will be sure to find a few dog treats that your dog will love.

Keeping the dog treats in airtight containers with lids will keep them safe and secure from the dogs as well. They will not be able to help themselves when they feel like it. Use clear plastic or glass containers and write the dogs name on the outside of the container so that you know what dog treats are for what dog. This will make your life a whole lot easier because you will not be mixing up the treats. That will make your dog just as happy and satisfied as you are.

While you might not be thrilled at some of the behaviors your faithful companion has taken on… you need to realize that your dog isn’t at all bothered by digging, barking, chewing, jumping, begging for table scraps, chasing cars, getting into the garbage, being aggressive toward other dogs —these behaviors are a part of who he is, and has been through the centuries. They are behaviors he (or she) would have used out in the wild. Your dog isn’t digging up your garden or chewing on your new shoes to spite you… he’s not barking because he’s angry or feeling neglected — he does these things because they come naturally to him. There’s nothing more to it than that.

Once you understand and accept this, you’ll be in the right frame of mind to change the bothersome behavior once and for all. The trick to being successful isn’t at all about brute force or intimidation — it’s all about using your dog’s natural inclinations to help you correct the behaviors you don’t like while still keeping the warm, loving relationship you want to have with your best friend. It can be done, but it takes time and a consistent effort to turn those behaviors around.

As you work to change your dog’s bad habits, keep in mind that…

· Your dog needs enough exercise for his age and breed. Too little exercise gives him endless energy to dig, to chew, or to pursue other problem habits. But, if his energy is spent on walks or runs in the park he isn’t likely to have anything left over for bad behavior.

· Your dog needs your time and attention — you’ve heard it before, dogs are social animals. You and the members of your household are your dog’s pack and he wants to be with you as much as he can. Many bad behaviors stem from the dog not having enough time, attention and guidance about what’s expected and what’s not.

· A visit to the vet might be in order so you can talk about what’s going on; sometimes bad behavior can stem from pain, an infection, hormone imbalance or other physical problem — all of which need to be ruled out first. Other times behavior problems come from an inborn tendency of the breed. In either case, an honest talk with your vet can give you a clue about what you’re up against.

· You need to catch your dog in the act so that your displeasure can be clearly linked with the act. Reprimand your dog while he’s nose deep in the hole, not when you find your garden overturned. A dog just can’t connect your screaming (or punishment) now with what he’s done in the past — to him your temper is not in any way connected to that chewed-up pair of shoes. Over time dogs deal with what they see as unpredictable anger by loosing trust in you, which brings on even more problems.

· You need to look for the source of the behavior — consider things other than not enough exercise or time with the family as reasons for what’s happening. Some dogs tolerate being alone all day, others don’t. A recent move or the arrival of a new pet (or baby) in the home are other sources of upset you should think about.

If you’re struggling with problem behaviors that go beyond what can be handled by these suggestions, you may want to consider seeking professional help, which comes in one of two varieties. A dog trainer will help you handle more straightforward obedience issues (jumping up on people or furniture, chewing or housetraining problems) so that you establish the communication needed to get your dog to understand what’s expected of him.

In cases where a dog’s behavior is motivated by fear, aggression or anxiety an animal behaviorist may be your only hope of handling the problem. These pros have advanced training and will work with you and your dog to get at the root of the problem, and then help you change the behavior to something more acceptable. In some cases, intervention by an animal behaviorist is the only hope of keeping the dog with the family.

The good news is that even the worst behaviors can be changed, so long as you stay consistent and keep working on the problem. Talk with other dog owners to see what worked for them. Learn all you can.

People decide to get a dog for a few reasons. Some are lonely and want the companionship. Some have young children and want a pet for them. Others want a new possession. To the later, I say don’t do it. A dog is a living being, not an inanimate object you can put on a shelf and forget about.

Most people want a puppy. That is fine. Understand a puppy has to be trained. You don’t train them with discipline, but with love. A puppy will soon learn not to go to the bathroom in the house. They usually have to go a few moments after they eat. If they do, you simply say NO in a firm voice and take them outside. When they do go to the bathroom outside, praise them in a loving voice and pet them. They will associate your being happy with going to the bathroom outside.

The next thing you want is for them to come to you when you call. Remember, you look like a giant to them, so when you want the dog to come to you, crouch down, clap your hands to get their attention, and call the dog. When the dog comes to you – wagging its tail, tell him good (insert name here) and give a treat. They will quickly come to you whenever you call if you follow this simple rule. After a while, you will not have to crouch down any more, the dog will come when you call its name. Keep a supply of treats in the house and be very generous with praise.

Dogs that are spayed or neutered at a young age are much more docile. If you fix them when they are older, they still have the memory of wanting to procreate. Older male dogs will try to mount younger ones, and it doesn’t matter male or female. This is to show domination and which is alpha. It does not mean the young male puppy is ‘gay’. Older females will try to mount young dogs, both male and females as well. Same reason – to show which is the alpha.

Dogs are territorial. If a strange dog comes onto their territory, there will probably be a brief skirmish. When male dogs meet another male dog off both of their territories, they will size each other up, but probably not fight. They are more likely to want to play. A male dog will usually not attack a female dog.

Some people crop their dogs’ ears and tail. I personally think this is a bad idea. Dogs have tails for balance. Their ears are long to keep out dirt, ticks and mites. If you crop their ears, dogs are much more likely to get ear infections. I know I would not want someone to cut off a part of my body because they thought I might look better.

If you decide to get an older dog, learn its personality first. There was a report recently about an Akita attacking and killing its new owner. The owner wanted to give it a bath. She probably turned a hose on it and the hose was used by the previous owner to control the dog. The dog remembered this and attacked instead of being hurt again.

When I had my dog a few days, I picked up a back scratcher. He started growling and backing off. I realized he must have been hit with sticks previously. I laid down the back scratcher and backed off a little. He went to it, sniffed, and attacked the back scratcher, destroying it. I went to him, told him good boy and gave him a treat. Now he knows if I pick up a stick it is not to hit him, but to throw and for him to fetch.

Dogs have much more acute hearing than we do. If they start barking it is to call your attention to something. Pet them and tell them good dog. It might be another dog outside, it might be someone coming to your door. Whatever the reason, they want you to be aware of it.

If you are getting a puppy, try to see the personalities of the parents, if possible. Puppies from puppy mills are more likely to be neurotic and sick because of too much interbreeding. Mutts are really great, intelligent dogs. All dogs want to be loved and will give love in return if treated right.

Dogs communicate with each other. I had two dogs, Bandit and Princess. Princess went to do something and I told her no. She looked at me and went to do it again and I said NO again. She looked at Bandit. He got up and walked over to her. They put their heads together and at the same time turned and looked at me. Then Bandit went to do exactly what I had told her not to do.

They were both part wolf, and the most intelligent dogs I have ever had. Bandit lived to be eighteen and Princess lived to be fifteen. I technically might have been their ‘owner’ but they were definitely my teachers.

Pit Bulls have a terribly undeserved reputation. Pits do not make good guard dogs because they are too friendly. Pits have to be trained to be mean. Pits use to be considered to be the best family pet anyone could have. Then people figured with their special jaws, they make good fighting dogs. A lot of people fed them gun powder in their food to make them mean and vicious. I have had two Pit Bulls and they are the friendliest gentlest dogs I ever had. I would trust a Pit sooner than a Chow, Akita or Doberman, but that is my personal opinion.

Get in the habit of walking your dog. Your dog can check out the neighborhood and it is good exercise for you. This way – if your dog ever gets lost, it can follow a trail back home.

One last thing – if you give a dog love and attention, it would lay down its life for you. The love you give is returned one hundred fold.

Great cat care is an important part of keeping your feline companion happy and healthy. However, there are benefits to cat care that go far beyond ensuring that your cat stays in peak shape and enjoys a high quality of life. Caring for your cat can actually be great for your own physical and mental state of being. Cat care can even help you maintain a healthy emotional life. When you achieve better cat care, you are achieving a better lifestyle for yourself.

Scientific experts have shown that caring for and enjoying a pet is great for your body. Spending time with a tame, happy animal is relaxing, and studies show that people who regularly spend time with pets have lower blood pressure and lower cholesterol levels than their pet-less friends and neighbors. These factors can not only improve your quality of life, they can actually extend your life expectancy and help you stay in better physical shape for a greater number of years than the average person. The really great news is that both the process and the result of cat care are equally beneficial to your health, so whether you are maintaining your cat or enjoying a friendly tug of war using a ball of yarn, you are helping yourself stay happy and healthy.

If you are looking for a way to make exercise a seamless part of your day, cat care may be the answer. A top notch cat care regimen includes a wide range of activities from trimming nails to cleaning the litter box to more advanced and challenging tasks like training your cat. Almost every single aspect of cat care, from wrestling your kitten into the sink for a bath to petting your cat gently while you are watching television, is great for your health simply because it keeps you moving. Whenever the process of cat care gets you to move even a single muscle that would otherwise be lazily slumped on the couch, cat care is helping your body and your mind. When you chase your cat around the room for a playful game, you are also chasing a healthier heart, stronger bones, and a more robust circulatory system. Cat care helps you life a more active lifestyle.

Cat care is also great for your emotional health. When you rub your cat behind the ears as it purrs softly, you are sure to feel as happy as your cat does. These regular sessions of happy, comforting relaxation are an important part of cat care, and can contribute to a more positive psychological outlook throughout the day. When you spend time sharing love and peace with your cat by providing cat care, your brain releases hormones that make you feel great, and help you manage stress and keep a positive outlook on life. Cat care is a great way to keep yourself feeling positive and happy.

We had heard it would be great therapy to get a dog for the boys after my oldest son, Joshua, passed away. Pets are supposed to be therapeutic for those that are healing. We forgot how much work and extra stress can also be attributed to adding another member to our family.

We drove to Ga to a cockapoo breeder who would not let us see their breeding house or the puppy’s parents, once we arrived. But the kids saw and held the little black ball of fur, with the white stomach and goatee. He looked like he was wearing a tux. My son thought all spies wore tuxedos, so they named him CodyBanks. Agent CodyBanks. We knew we were not driving home alone. The breeder knew it too.

We were concerned about his intelligent when he just could not seem to overcome the housetraining hurdle. He was convinced that carpet was grass and preferred any type of rug to going outside to do his business. This habit seemed to last forever. Good thing my husband sold carpet for a living.

Cody also had a strange fixation with chewing up dirty socks and underwear. He likes to dig in the dirty clothes basket to pull them out and later we find a few threads. Most of the time the fabric makes its way through him, which keeps the boys occupied studying the remains in the backyard. I remember last year, (it was on my birthday), the babysitter arrived and immediately took off her shoes and socks. I was on my way out the door when the kids yelled, “Cody ate the babysitter’s sock!” I figured it would just digest, but later I called my husband, Robert, who immediately called some vets to get their take on it.

He was told to be patient for a few days and see if Cody gets feverish and sick. If so, they would surgically remove the sock. He envisioned dollar signs everywhere. So he called another vet, who told him that peroxide worked good to get anything back up. (I wish I was home that day to see all of this). Robert took peroxide and tilted Cody’s head back and poured it into his mouth. Cody immediately hacked it back out and right into Robert’s eyes. After his eyes stopped foaming and he could see again, he got some more and poured a heaping dose down Cody’s throat, determined to keep it there. Sure enough Cody began to regurgitate. And he regurgitated and regurgitated all over the yard. Along with everything else, up came one hot pink babysitter footie sock.

We thought this unpleasant experience would train Cody to avoid the socks forever, but no. He continued to chew and I was continuing to purchase new packs of socks and underwear on a monthly basis. I guess we should learn to keep our dirty laundry well hidden, but with all boys, it has been a constant flow. But as the years have gone by, (Cody is now 4), he has provided us with a never ending tail wag and constant companionship. He has loved us through all of our grieving and stress and anger and depression and everything that a family walks through when they lose a family member. He has seen us at our worst(our dirtiest laundry!), and we have seen him at his. What better example could we find of unconditional true agape love? All he asks for is a rousing game of fetch and occasional loving.

Now as we are on our fourth year with Cody, I realize that somewhere along the way, he became completely house trained. He doesn’t seem to chew up as much, but will still carry around a sock just for attention. He even thinks he is now a 35 pound lap dog and makes himself comfortable whether he is invited or not.

We have realized that what we were told is really true. He is great for us and a necessary member of our family dynamics. We are still walking through our own issues with grief and healing, but he has been instrumental in helping us cope and overcome. We constantly aspire to the saying, “I want to be the person my dog thinks I already am.” We are grateful for our Cody Banks. I have invested a small fortune in new undergarments for us all, but we love him unconditionally, dirty laundry and all.

As with most hobbies there are some things that are definitely undesirable. Keeping a saltwater reef aquarium or saltwater fish only aquarium is a most fulfilling hobby, but irritating problems can occur.

For example, outbreaks of filamentous green algae, brown/black/red smear algae, glass anemones and bubble algae (sailor’s eyeball algae) are four of the major culprits. These problems can develop into major headaches if proper action during setting-up and the following care and maintenance are not taken.

The really annoying part is that glass anemones and bubble algae can be decorative at first. In fact, an unwary and inexperienced aquarist might be pleased with his new additions.

These problems usually arrive with new corals, or, rather, on the rocks the new corals are attached to. Live rock can also introduce them.

A major cause of algae problems is low water quality, that is, water that has too high levels of nitrate and phosphate. It has been reported that filamentous green algae, smear algae, and glass anemones do well in the presence of nitrate and phosphate.

To make bubble algae (sailor’s eyeball algae) even more annoying, it is said that to do well it needs high quality water. So if they appear in your tank, definitely take control action, but at least be pleased that your water is good.

I have dealt with bubble algae successfully. I have also waged war with glass anemones, but have found that, once the war is generally won, occasionally control action is needed when another pops its unwelcome head up.

The answer to these problems is the proper setting up of a tank from the start, and ongoing care and maintenance.

These reef aquarium pests may never invade your tank at all, but it is probable that one or the other will appear. Be aware, and be prepared with the necessary knowledge to take remedial action.

Peter Cunningham and John Cunningham combined have been keeping salt water aquarium’s for nearly 35 years. Visit their site ‘The Salt Water Aquarium’ if you are interested in salt-water-aquarium.com/html/starting-a-marine-aquarium-ree.html starting a marine aquarium reef tank.

• German Shepherds were among the first dogs trained for police work- beginning around 1900 in Ghent, Belgium.

• Dog’s body cells contain the most pairs of chromosomes (heredity- carrying
structures) of any mammal- 39 pairs.

• There is an old Chinese belief that if a person owns a good and faithful dog that the dog will sacrifice itself to Death when Death demands a member of its’ immediate family.

• The most decorated U.S. dog during World War II was a German Shepherd/Husky/
Collie mix named Chips. He also served as a guard dog in North America and later
earned a Silver Star for capturing a machine gun nest during the invasion of Sicily.

• Dogs have been used to determine whether twins are identical or fraternal because
identicals have the same scent, but fraternals do not, no matter how much they may
look alike.

• The Latin word for faithful is “Fido?” Could this possibly have any connection with
the fact that so many dogs are named this?

• If an old or sick dog does not shake itself after getting up that this is a sign of bad
overall health? Each dog shakes itself to get every muscle and tendon back into
perfect place after waking up.

• A dog can survey an area between 200 to 270 degrees, depending on the shape of
its skull and the positioning of its eyes, compared to the average of 100 degrees for
a human being.

• Due to the popularity of lap dogs in ancient Rome, Julius Caesar once mused if
Roman women had ceased to have children in lieu of their new four-legged
companions.

Dogs bark for different reasons. If your dog barks and you want to know how to control his barking you must first learn the reason for his barking.

There are generally four distinct types of barking.

Dogs Bark Because they are Bored

Your dog is a pack animal and as such he needs ample daily exercise, social stimulation and interaction. One of the most common cause of dog barking is when the daily needs of exercise and stimulation have nor been met. They become bored and barking becomes the outlet to relive their doggy boredom. If your dog spends most of his day indoors, or lounging in a back yard, he may be telling you that he needs to spend time with you. Time for a brisk walk and some play time. You should walk your dog and let him see other dogs in the neighborhood at least twice a day. This will help meet his needs for social inter action and exercise, help to relieve dog boredom and may well lessen or alleviate your dog’s barking due to boredom.

Dogs Bark When They are Asking for Something

If you dog wants a treat, wants to go in the next broom, get a toy, or anything else he will try a number of different techniques to get you to give him what he wants. If he barks and give him a treat, he will bark more. If he barks and you open the door to a room, he will bark even louder the next time he wants to go there. Your dog is responding to your actions. If you don’t want him to ask you for things by barking then don’t respond to barking by relenting and giving him what he is asking for. If you do give in, you are in essence, training him to bark when he wants something.

Dogs Bark When They are Scared

Dogs need sufficient socialization so that they can be in a variety of places and situations without becoming frightened. This may include the car, the park, the veterinary office, a hotel, the park, your mom’s house, almost anyplace. If your dog needs to be better socialized so that he can enjoy those places without fear, a good way to accomplish this is with a reward. When you go to any of those places, give him a treat or some favorite food of his when he arrives. Your dog will start to associate the place with food, ( a good thing) instead of a place to be scared, ( a bad thing). This is fairly simple conditioning training and very successful with dogs who are scared due to a lack of proper socialization.

Dogs Bark if They Miss You

If your dog barks when you leave him alone, he is suffering from a type of separation anxiety. To help your dog adjust to the idea of your being away from home while you are at work , shopping or any reason here’s a few tips.

Don’t make a big deal out of leaving the house. No calling and hugging good by, loud talking and getting your dog excited. Try leaving without saying a word. Make it a non event. Try leaving for 5 minutes and returning. Then increase it to ten minutes, then thirty minutes then an hour. And don’t call him when you return. Make it another non event. Just like walking from one room to another.

Another thing you should do right now is provide more exercise so that your dog is tired out by the time you leave. He’ll be more interested in a puppy nap that stressing out about why you aren’t in the yard or kitchen with him for awhile

Dogs Bark to Protect You

If your dog barks as a protector, you must learn how to divert his attention or have him respond to your commands. Try having him retrieve a toy when he starts to nark. Or you can teach him to be quiet by word command, the reward being a treat when he listens. If your dog seemingly always barks at the slightest noise or activity, he needs more exercise and socialization

There are many ways a professional dog trainer can help you control dog barking. These are just a few ideas. Exercise and socialization are perhaps the most common and effective remedy we have seen. Try spending more time with your dog on a daily basis. Both you and your dog will benefit in the long run

Dogs are mans best friend, and as any dog owner will tell you, they really do become part of the family. This is probably why we can’t leave the family dog out of the festivities at Christmas time. There are many of products on the market for dogs from doggie treat Christmas stockings, to Christmas theme food dishes, to Santa costumes to dress your dog up! Santa wrote a particular request asking people not to buy rubber Santa chew toys, because on Christmas eve when Santa is delivering presents, many dogs are looking a little too pleased to see him.

Why not take the time to make your best friend and extra special gift this Christmas, a Christmas sleigh bell dog collar.

All you need is…
A dog collar, bells, felt and glue.

The dog collar needs to be a fabric or woven type collar that can be stitched into. Choose a nice festive colour like red.

You can buy bells from craft shops or your local haberdashery. The larger the bell the more ‘Sleigh bell’ the ring of the bell will sound, and your pooch will sound like a reindeer prancing along. Small bells have a high pitch ring, ideal for small or lady like dogs, the delicate tinkle makes them sound like small Tinkerbell the fairy.

Adjust the collar to fit your dog comfortably.

Sew bells at regular intervals around one edge (the bottom edge). About 4 CMS is a good gap between bells.

If you are using small bells sew them on in clusters of two or three larger bells can be sewn on singularly.

The bells need sewing on firmly so that they don’t come off. Your dog may try to eat them.

Cut out holly leaf shapes and berries from some felt and glue them into place between the bells. You could substitute the holly leaves for fabric Christmas tree bows for lady dogs.

A cute Christmas collar gift for your dog, which will make your pooch jingle festively on every walkies!

Do not leave the dog wearing the collar unattended.
