    THE FIRST 5 THINGS THAT NEW PUPPY PARENTS SHOULD KNOW

    Puppies easily win over our hearts in a single beat, and you are without a doubt totally in love with your new puppy. However, issues that are perhaps only small now tend to grow bigger along with the dog.

    STOP! YOU ARE REWARDING YOUR DOG  FOR PULLING

    STOP! YOU ARE REWARDING YOUR DOG FOR PULLING

    If your dog wants to go and sniff a tree and pulls you towards it (with tension on the lead), then every step to you take towards the tree becomes a reward for pulling. Your dog is learning that if it pulls you hard enough, for long enough, frequently enough… you will give in. Sadly, it is easy to end up in a situation where we have trained our dogs to be persistent leash-pullers.

    Dogs & Children Do’s & Dont’s

    Dogs & Children Do’s & Dont’s

    DON’T let your dog and your children play together without having put some guidelines in place first, especially if the game involves toys. It can get out of control very quickly.
    DO teach your children to always hold dog toys below their waist. If they hold them up at head height, they will soon have dog teeth and dog claws flying around their face.

    Stay, Free and Come. They can make your everyday life a lot easier and save you time.

    What you need to know about giving your child a puppy as a gift

    It’s Christmas time! -A time when lots of little puppies are jumping out of gift boxes with a child’s name on it. Giving a child a puppy is a very loving thing to do –but is it the smart thing to do?

    I often meet a lot of misconceptions about what role a child will play in a puppy’s life and consequentially, some disappointment that things aren’t panning out as expected.

    This article will sum up some realities and give you an understanding that can save you and your child a lot of grief.

    THE ART OF COMMUNICATING  WITH YOUR DOG

    THE ART OF COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR DOG

    It is easy to fall into the trap of focusing on how smart your dog is or isn’t at learning. You’ll be astounded at how smart your dog turns out to be, once you start communicating with it in a language that it understands.
