A poorly trained dog can embarrass its owner and offend other

Teaching your dog some manners is just common-sense. You did it

| Basic Housebreaking Tips For Your Puppy

Training your puppy to eliminate outside you home, and not in it, typically starts from six to nine weeks of age. Puppies as young as one month have been put on a housebreaking plan but at that young age, hardly any have developed the power to succeed.
The trainer's patience is just as important as the dog's temperamen ...

Hi, Adam!
My husband and I recently purchased a white German Shepherd. She
is 12 weeks old today and quite a handful. Sometimes she can be
so sweet, but other times she is actually quite vicious. Well, I
don't know if vicious is the right word, but when I tell her
“No!” she just gets more agitated and lunges at me wi ...

Dear Adam:
My dog, Chance, we think is a Golden retriever mix, but he's
mostly white with gold patches. Also he's about 2/3 the size of
a Golden Retriever.
He's 18 months old and has been loose-leash trained pretty well
as long as you don't let him get distracted.
The thing I don't know how to handle is that some dogs that we
meet when we're out ...

As much as you may love your cute, new puppy, if she chews on
everything in sight--including you--she will not be cute to you
for very long. Puppies that are left to their own devices can
destroy a home quickly. Just as training is required to
housebreak your little fur ball, training is also necessary to

| Why build your own snake or other reptile cage?

When I first started my interest in reptiles I was only young.
At that stage of my life I had little or no skills and did not
understand the requirements of the wonderful creatures so I did
not keep them effectively. We just kept the local lizards, so
the cage temperature was not an issue.
I rekindled my desire later in life but I also ...

This is the story of my dog called Shandy. He was my favourite
pet and he was very lively, lots of fun and very obedient. His
main passion in life was to be taken for a long walk,
culminating with a big run out in his favourite park.
I would try to take him on this walk everyday, weather
permitting. The park itself was about three miles away ...

program in existence until after the First World War.

| Defend Your Dog and Stop that Hurting Paw!

Of course, we humans use shoes to protect our feet. We insist on
it! But dogs usually don't have that luxury, and routinely walk
over ice, rock, grass, cement and soil on their bare paws. Their
paws' thick pads give them protection we don't have, and that's
why they're less susceptible to cuts and grazes. But this
