adminPets puppies
Picking out a breed of puppies can be hard, but it is always a good idea to do your homework when choosing the type of dog that will be best for your home. All puppies are cute and energetic, but it is more important to consider how they will act and be when they grow up. Start by considering what size they will be. While large dogs are awesome, many people prefer to have medium or small dogs, such as beagles or chihuahuas. Also consider how active the dog will be when growing up. Many dogs that were bred for work and hunting, such as Labrador retrievers and border collies, will need multiple walks a day and will need games to keep their minds active. Other dogs will also need walks, but they may be more content to be a couch potato for most of the day. Your new puppy will be a member of your family for a long time, so be comfortable with the breed you are getting.

adminPets obedience dog training
There is a misconception among clicker trainers assuming that clicker was originally invented and used to train dolphins. This is not correct. It was two disciples of B.F Skinner, namely Keller and Marian Breland, who originally drew a parallel between OPERANT CONDITIONING theory and clicker training. It was in the beginning of 1940s. Several years later, Keller successfully invented a good training for sea mammals. The truth is that obedience dog training has the same root with dolphin clicker training. However, a dog is not a dolphin. Therefore, the approaches are not identical. Let’s take one example; a dolphin will be rewarded with food both inside training and in a show; but it is highly prohibited to bring any food or toy inside the arena of dog training. It is because a dolphin will not obey the trainer when it is not rewarded with food four to five times of desirable behaviours.

adminPets chihuahua training
Do you also find it hard to housebreak or potty train your chihuahua? Are your chihuahua training methods not working in trying to educate your stubborn pet? Perhaps you are inconsistent in training your chihuahua? Are your housebreaking techniques harsh and punitive? Bear in mind that chihuahua training should be done as gentle and positive as you can.
Chihuahuas are one of the most difficult to housebreak dog breeds. They can be unruly and choose to do things according to their whims, especially during chihuahua training. And since they always like to socialize or constantly hang out with their masters, introducing them to the crate will certainly become a handful. However, your efforts will become fruitful the moment you can successfully crate train and potty train your clownish, little lap dog.
As much as possible, start with crate training. Slowly and enthusiastically introduce the crate to your chihuahua. Associate positive or interesting things such as dog treats and toys to the crate or kennel. Convince your pet that his crate is his safe haven and some place where he ought not to dump or pee. You can then guide him to do his business on the right spot.
Take advantage of synthetic potties or those quality indoor potty training pads. You can also use the paper method of housebreaking. But the bottomline is, never give up in training your chihuahua. They can be strong-headed and aggressive; however, you are the master. Be persistent and consistent in doing chihuahua training, particularly when it comes to housebreaking.

adminPets pet portraits
If you own a cat which has access to the outside via a cat flap, you may have had the unfortunate experience of having interlopers around. Some cats can be a bit of a pest, stealing your cats food and even being a bit of a bully.
So if your cat is subject to unwanted attention from the local bully, how can you keep them out of your house whilst allowing your own cat freedom to roam?
The answer is a cat flap that can be operated by your cats own microchip.
This type of cat flap can ‘recognise’ a pre-selected number of micro-chips and will only allow a cat with the correct chip in and out of the house. They’re designed to replace most standard sized cat flaps and are operated using batteries. An ideal way to keep nosey neighbours at bay!
Remember, pet portraits are for life, not just for Christmas!
