Some people like keeping dogs indoors most of the time. However, in such cases, there obviously is the need of some indoor dog containment systems that help train the dog to keep to its boundaries while in the house.

If you plan to keep your dog in a safe and secure indoor refuge, the wire cage is an excellent choice. Some feel that the cage is a type of doggie jail. However, dogs are instinctively den animals that prefer a space of their own. So cages provide the dog with a private and quiet space. It also helps in housetraining puppies and in controlling destructive behavior due to stress, teething and separation anxiety. There are square back, non-foldable and fold-and-carry cages to choose from. There are also tent-style cages made from canvas or nylon that are ideal when taking the dog camping or traveling. Another form of indoor dog containment system is the crate. It is a lightweight plastic crate that provides the dog with privacy and comfort while traveling or at home. Some plastic crates can be folded down or collapsed, enhancing their portability.

To keep your dog from trouble and to restrict its access to specific rooms or areas, pet gates are the best choice. You could put the gate at the bottom or top of a flight of stairs to confine the dog. There are different models to fit different stair widths and also different doors. These are used primarily indoors and are made of steel, plastic or wood, with different sizes to fit your dog’s age, size and strength. To teach your dog to stay off specific areas, countertops, furniture and windowsills, room and surface barriers are the best form of indoor dog containment system. These training aids usually emit either a mild electric pulse or an alarm to reinforce your command for the dog to stay off. They also keep working while you are not at home, and help you keep specific rooms and furniture free from excessive dog hair.

This is a story about a road trip I took with my dog this summer. This is an informational story that will provide some insight as to what you need to consider when you travel with your pet. My dog’s safety while in the car had to be considered. I needed to know where to make pit stops along the way. And I needed to know what hotels would allow her to stay.

Sephi is my dog’s name, short for Persephone. Sephi is a 55 pound dog, part German shepherd, part Labrador, part chow, part border collie, etc. She loves to ride in the car. I don’t generally take her with me in the car during the summer unless it is to the park. But I needed to go to St. Louis for business. As a female, I don’t like to travel alone too far from home. So I decided to take Sephi with me as my “guard dog“. It is a four hour drive from Kansas City to St Louis, and 99% of the trip would be spent on the interstate.

Before leaving, I made sure Sephi’s tags were legible and that they were adequately secured to her collar. Sephi is not the type of dog to run off, but I’d rather not take any chances. Her tags not only have her name and my phone number, but they also have her vet’s phone number. The major dog essentials needed for this trip included Sephi’s leash, her dog car seat belt, water and her water bowl, dog food, doggie bags for picking up her waste, and her pet carrier (which is also her doggie bed). Sephi wore her dog car seat belt the entire time she was in the car. The dog seat belt she uses is easy to put on and comfortable for her to wear. The dog car seat belt is worn like a harness. A strap extends from the back of the harness and latches into the seat belt receptacle. Whenever Sephi is not in the car, the strap can be unhooked and replaced with a leash so that she doesn’t have to have the harness taken on and off.

I brought my own food and snacks or only went to places where I could pick up food quick so that I wouldn’t have to leave Sephi in the car. It was over 90 degrees outside and could get even hotter inside a car. Other pit stops were necessary. Since the drive was mostly on interstate 70 there were several rest stops along the way. These rest stops not only had restroom facilities for me, but they also had designated pet areas for Sephi. Most rest stops in the United States have designated pet areas. Even though it was obvious that many pet owners did not pick up after their pets, I used the doggie bags to pick up after Sephi. Not only did I do this as a courtesy, but I also did it in order to avoid getting into trouble with any law enforcement that may happen to be in the area. The last thing I need when away from home is to get a citation for an ordinance violation. One bad thing about traveling alone with a pet was that when I had to use the restroom, I had no choice but to leave Sephi in the car for a few minutes. There were signs clearly posted at the rest stops prohibiting dogs from entering the buildings so Sephi was not allowed to go into the restroom with me.

Sephi drank water while a the rest tops but she did not eat until we got to our destination. This is because Sephi tends to get a little car sick if she has food in her stomach. Our trip was only four hours long so she did not go hungry for very long. When we reached St Louis we had to find a hotel. Knowing by experience that many hotels allow pets, I did not do any research beforehand. As a result, I visited two other hotels before I found one that both accepted dogs and had wi-fi access. The hotel we stayed at was the Red Roof Inn. It was fairly inexpensive and comfortable. I brought Sephi’s carrier in the room. This gave her the comfort of familiar surroundings, but the carrier was necessary for another reason as well. Most hotels require that if you have to leave your pet alone in the room that the pet be confined. I had business to take care of and I would not be able to take her with me. So she stayed in her carrier while I left the hotel. Hotels have this rule for two major reasons. First, the hotel does not want pets destroying their property. Sephi is not destructive, but some dogs are so the hotel makes the rule apply to all dogs. Second, if hotel personnel needs to enter the room they don’t want the pet to escape or to bite the intruder. Before you travel with your pet, you may want to find a hotel that allows pets first. Be sure to read their pet policy so that you can make sure you comply with the guidelines.

All-in-all, the road trip was a success. I felt safe traveling alone with my “guard dog”. Sephi was safe wearing her dog car seat belt. She was kept hydrated and had plenty of potty breaks at the rest stops. And she was comfortable during her stay at the hotel. Traveling with a pet does not have to be an inconvenience if you remember certain points. Research hotels and hotel pet policies before traveling. Bring the pet’s carrier if you plan on leaving the hotel without your pet. Make sure your dog is wearing their tags and bring their leash. Make sure your dog has a vehicle restraint such as a dog car seat belt or a pet car seat. Bring something to pick up after your pet. Bring plenty of water. And last but not least, enjoy your trip!

Do you have a new puppy and don’t have a clue about housetraining? For the first few days, the puppy will be learning about his new environment and everything in it, and this is the best time for crate training. This method, used by some of the most effective professionals in puppy training, is an invaluable way to train your new puppy. If not used correctly, however, it can put a detrimental dent in your puppy’s proper training, rearing, and his overall feelings of security in his new home.

Upon getting a puppy, it is imperative to have a crate for training immediately. You want to be ready for training from day one. For puppies, a plastic crate might work well. Keep in mind though, that, depending on the dog’s breed, the puppy may not be small for long. This may influence the size of the crate desired.

Place a blanket in the crate. This will become a “security blanket” for the puppy. Your puppy will smell his own scent within and thereby know the area is his special space. A great incentive for the animal is to give him a treat or toy when he goes to his blanket. This lets him know that this is “his space”. The association will soon be made that the puppy’s crate is a secure, warm, and tasty place to be.

Scheduling is very important when crate training your dog. Consistency is what will aid in the learning process. During the first few weeks, don’t let anything hinder your puppy’s elimination schedule. As the puppy gets used to this timing, he will begin to eliminate only during scheduled times.

This schedule can be based around yours as well. If you work days, then have a family member or friend check in on the puppy during a certain period of the day, while you can take care of the evening schedule. As the puppy grows, he will learn to wait for you and will only go when it is the appropriate time. It is recommended you obtain some materials that will help you better understand what a crate can and cannot be used for and to help you work out a schedule for your cuddly companion.

Crate training should never be used as a punishment. This will only confuse and frustrate the puppy. Training a puppy in this method requires patience, resilience, love, and tenderness. Puppies live to please, so by showing affection during these times will stimulate and satisfy the dog.

Every little boy or girl needs a dog for a companion, right? While that may be true and they joy of having a pet is something every child should experience, you need to carefully consider if adopting a small dog is right for your family.

One thing to think about is the extra demands on your time that a small dog will require. Whether you are thinking about a Pug, Pomeranian or Poodle, these little dogs require care and if you are considering a puppy, it could be like having another baby!

Dogs are a big responsibility and if you have not been solely responsible for a dog previously you may find the work and time involved in training, feeding, grooming and playing to be more than you can handle while caring for a young baby or toddler.

If your children are toddlers, you need to be very organized and have the day planned out so that the child and dog are not left alone together. Young children do not understand that a pet is a fragile living thing - too much rough play and your little dog could become hurt or may have to resort to hurting your child to defend itself.

If you are deciding to get a dog because you feel it is a normal part of family life and you want to ‘complete’ the package while your child is young, do not rush into purchasing a dog right away. For the various reasons above, a dog should be considered a major decision and waiting one year or more may be best for your situation.

With young children an older dog might be a better choice as you will not have to deal with housebreaking and training, but keep in mind that a small dog, no matter how old is still going to be a bit more fragile than a bigger dog.

Now that’s not to discourage you from getting a pet for your young children as they will certainly love it and develop a strong bond. It is a good experience for any child, but you must take the added work and expense into consideration. Don’t forget to consider Vet fees, adoption or purchase costs, licensing, food and grooming. Doing your homework now will avoid unpleasant disappointment in the future.

If you have tons of time and energy and your life is free enough of distractions then bringing a small dog into your home can be a fun time. Just be sure to be diligent
in watching both the puppy and children until training has been established and be sure to remind the children how to treat the dog gently and carefully so that no accidents happen.

Once you consider all the aspects and make your decision to adopt a small dog, you can be confident that you will be able to relax and experience all the wonders of dog ownership with your children.

Tools used in dog training schools.

There are a great many tools that can be utilized in dog training schools. All of these tools are quite helpful when utilized in the training of a dog. The following will introduce you to some of the tools that are utilized in dog training schools and how they can benefit you in the training of your dog.

The clicker is a very useful tool that is used in a lot of dog training schools. What exactly is a clicker you might be wondering? A clicker is a small object that is made out of plastic and contains a small piece of metal inside. The clicker makes a clicking noise when it is squeezed and then released. Using a clicker is a great way to get your dogs attention and once he learns the noise that it makes he will be able to recognize it almost anywhere.

Another tool that you will often find in dog training schools would be the dog leash. The dog leash by far is one of the most commonly used while training a dog. Dog leashes come in a variety of sizes from very short leashes that are used when a trainer wants to exert more control while training to much longer leashes that are used when behaviors that require a bit more freedom are being taught to dogs. There are even leashes that allow dogs a certain amount of freedom then automatically recoil when the trainer wishes the dog to return to them.

A tool that has become quite popular in dog training schools as well as widely enjoyed by dogs themselves is the treat carrier. These special containers allow a dog trainer to be able to carry around a supply of dog treats to use while training their dog. They are quite handy and keep you from having to get your clothing dirty or having to carry around treats in a plastic bag, which could get quite cumbersome.

A tool that is often utilized in dog training schools if a dog has issues with biting is a muzzle. A dog needs to be carefully introduced to this method of training and if the training is done properly it can be extremely efficient in ridding a dog of a potentially hurtful habit.

These are just a few tools of the trade that can be found in dog training schools. There are many more out there and the training tools can vary greatly depending on what type of training you are planning to do with your dog. If you are unsure as to what training tools you are going to need before you begin training your dog contact your local dog training school, as they will be able to point you in the right direction.

Liposuction, lap band surgery, gastric bypass surgery. Unless you are among the minority of the fit and slim, chances are that you have imagined what these procedures could do for you. Even though you are in control of your food selections, you don’t always make the right choice.

But your dog has a totally different fitness challenge. It’s you! Your dog will eat whatever you feed him. He will never say, “No thanks, I think carbs are off limits for a while” or “let’s cut back on the greasy leftovers from your fun night out (while I had to stay here and do the potty dance!).”

We’ve all seen dogs that are so fat they waddle. It’s pretty obvious they haven’t been out cruising the fast food restaurants. They also don’t know enough to push away the bowl. They don’t even consider whether it’s a good or bad choice, they just trust you.

Many pet owners will even prepare an extra portion of their “people” food and sweet treats to share with Fido. They think that they are pampering their beloved best friend. Unfortunately they are causing great harm. Not only do they gain weight, the food is often not properly digested and causes discomfort for the dog. The long term effect is a dog with a shortened lifespan.

So here’s the obvious point. Even if you struggle making good choices when it comes to your own diet, don’t transfer your need for food comfort onto your pet. Buy high-quality dog food that meets your pet’s specific nutritional needs and get them on a structured plan for mealtimes. Be strict with portion control if your dog needs to lose weight.

Since your vet doesn’t offer liposuction, lapbands or gastric by-pass surgery, it’s up to you to keep your dog fit and healthy.

Your dog will thank you!

In the United States, pets and their owners have one thing in common: too much food and too little exercise.

With nutritious dog food abundant and palatable, a common cause of pet obesity isn’t the food itself but the feeding. Many pet owners are too eager to please. They don’t carefully monitor their pets’ weight and succumb too often to dogs that beg and whimper for more. You must monitor your pet’s body weight, especially if you own an older dog.

How to Know if Your Dog is Overweight:

A healthy pet’s body is proportional — his ribs can be felt and folds of fat aren’t easily seen. Overweight dogs have noticeable paunches, broader conformations and ribs that are not easily seen or felt. Fat dogs also don’t have the “tuck” normally seen in front of the hindquarters. The solution is to control your dog’s insatiable appetite and thereby control his expanding girth.

While a balanced diet and treats in proper amounts are fine, overindulgence leads to a “couch pet-tato.” If your dog is overweight, a change in eating habits is in order along with increased exercise and play to help work off excess calories.
Top 9 Tips to Putting Your Dog on a Diet

1. If your dog is overweight, work with your veterinarian to develop a proper weight-reduction plan. Your veterinarian can help assess the extent of your dog’s obesity problem and determine whether there are any complicating disease concerns, such as diabetes. In some cases, a prescription type of diet may be recommended.

2. A drastic reduction isn’t necessary. Except in special cases, most veterinarians recommend a moderate weight-reduction plan. Weight should be lost gradually, about 15 percent over a two- to three-month period for dogs. At maximum, weight loss should occur at a rate of 1 to 1½ pounds per week for dogs. In addition to a restricted diet, you need to provide your pet with gradual increased play and exercise. Make exercise fun, not strict or stressful.

3. Make sure that all family members stick to your dog’s weight reduction plan. One person can spoil the results.

4. If excessive food intake was the source of your pet’s obesity, plan on feeding the proper maintenance amount. In general, a small six-pound dog requires 50 calories per pound, a 50-pound dog requires 30 calories per pound and a 100-pound dog requires 23 kilocalories per pound. However, there are no hard and fast rules; your pet may need less food if he’s less active or more if he’s very active.

5. To reduce your pet’s food intake, feed his normal diet in reduced amounts or a diet of reduced calories in prescribed amounts. Feed smaller portions more often so that your pet doesn’t feel that he’s eating less

6. Eliminate all treats, especially from the table. These are typically high in fat and calories. Praise and affection are important to offset your pet’s feeling of “punishment.”

7. If dry food had previously been fed ad lib (left out free-choice), leave food out in portions instead of in unlimited quantities.

8. Feed some canned food to replace some of the dry food. It will be more palatable and is lower in caloric density (since it’s over 75 percent moisture).

9. There are special foods available both by prescription and over-the-counter that is higher in fiber and lower in caloric and fat density. These are especially good since you can feed your pet the same “bulk amount,” while cutting back calories.

In addition to a restricted diet, you need to provide your pet with gradual increased play and exercise. Make exercise fun, not strict or stressful. Fun, play and games will not only help in reducing your dog’s weight but it will simultaneously keep your dog happy, and distract his mind from thinking about his loss of food. By keeping your dog’s weight at a normal level, he’ll be happier and healthier in a svelte condition. He’ll also run, romp and enjoy life more.

We have two Italian Greyhounds (affectionately referred to as IG’s). Dixie was two when we brought Yankee home. I read that IG’s are happier with another animal and thought that another IG would be half as much trouble and twice as much fun. After a few days of establishing a pack order the two became great friends.

For those not familiar with IG’s, they are about ¼ scale of the famous racetrack breed. In their finest form they look half-starved, even though it may look cruel to most pet owners, that’s when they are the most active and truly happiest. A pound or two slows them down tremendously and even becomes dangerous.

They are fearless leapers. No matter how many times I try to explain to them Newton’s Laws of Gravity, it does no good. Heart-stopping stories abound over the internet chat rooms about their Superman like tendencies. The extra weight increases the risk of broken bones.

They are also tremendous jumpers. In her hey-day Dixie could jump straight up over 6 feet high to grab a snack. At will she could jump flat-footed on to the dining room table, landing as soft as a butterfly with sore feet.

But more than anything, those long thin legs were meant for speed. Unfortunately, they can run faster than they can think. IG’s become single focused when running. Twice I have nearly had a heart attack as they ran full speed into each other from opposite directions, tumbling like out of control race cars. Chasing after one another, they’d scrape the trees so close that bark literally flew off and misjudging turns, wiping-out in to brick walls and other immoveable objects was a common occurrence.

Well, one day the inevitable finally happened, Dixie went into a door facing and snapped her left leg. The break was clean through. Her little paw dangling 90 degrees from just below her knee told me everything I didn’t want to know.

I did the best I could to immobilize it as my wife called the vet. As soon as we got there they took her back for x-rays. She was obviously in a lot of pain but had quit yelping after I first picked her up. In fact, she was the calmest of any of us.

My wife was crying because of the dog. I was crying because of the bill. If I would’ve known how much it was going to cost in the lobby I would have cried a lot harder. This was going to be a big payday for the vet.

The choices were simple, they could try a cast, but it would probably not set right because of the very tiny, toothpick-thin fibula. The vet recommended a titanium plate and screws.

The surgery alone would run $1,000. The total bill would actually end up over $1,800. I could have bought 3 Dixies and a lifetime supply of dog food for that much. My wife got mad because she didn’t like my sense of humor, but I wasn’t joking. I know the power of the purse, and I have no intention of getting hit by hers again so I relented.

The next morning they put in the custom made plate and screws. It was really tricky because the screws had to be big enough to hold things together, but small enough not to interrupt blood flow.

More painful (if you can believe that) than the vet bill, was the care and attention Dixie would require for the next 3 to 4 months. For the next three months she would have to be kept in a crate at all times.

For the first three weeks when we took her out to go potty we would have to hold on to her. No walking was allowed. It is absolutely crucial for dogs to find the perfect spot to relieve themselves, not any spot will do. Humans cannot fully appreciate this until they miss an entire showing of Monday Night Football.

A few weeks after the surgery we got a bit of good news, the leg was healing fine. She would still have to be crated, but we could put her on a real tight lead and let her stand on her three good legs to go potty. In about two to three week intervals after that she was allowed a little more freedom.

Slowly things got back to normal. The first month after she got full clearance to run was rather tiring. Each jump, every full trot run brought held breaths in anticipation of another vet trip.

It has taken two full years to get to where she no longer yelps or pulls up after a full run or sharp turn. She has lost a noticeable amount of her initial burst. She can longer track down Yankee from behind, but they still love to chase each other in the backyard and that gives us great pleasure. If you’ve never seen these gracious runners play at full speed then you cannot fully appreciate why we went to all the trouble and expense.

My wife loves to show Dixie’s scar to anyone who comes by. She talks about the whole adventure like it was The Good Old Days. Out of fear that my wife will read this article I will state that if I had to do it again I would. But I won’t like it.

Pets and humans share one thing in common as years go by and that is aging. The cat or dog may not run that fast anymore compared to how it was in its youth, which is a signal to tell us that extra care must already be given. This is because the immune system may not be that strong anymore making these animals susceptible to diseases.

Here are some things people can do for the pet.

1. The person should bring the cat or dog for checkup every six months or once a year. This is for the vet to conduct a full examination and give the proper vaccination against a number of diseases.

2. Parents have always told the child that owning a pet is a huge responsibility. This is not only in terms of taking it for a walk or giving it bath but also making sure that the animal is properly fed. The person should buy cat or dog food that is good quality and recommended by the vet because this provides sustenance not always seen when getting a generic version.

3. The cat or dog will get fat and have problems such as diabetes because of lying around in the house. Physical activity must be encourage by going for a walk in the park, playing a game of catch with a stick or a Frisbee and in the case of cats, giving a ball of yarn or a scratch pad.

As the pet ages, this should be done two or three times a week instead of daily. The owner should keep in mind that this can also stress the animal.

4. It is a no brainer to give the dog or cat a bath. The one thing many pet owners forget to do is clean the teeth, comb the hair, cut the nails and check the ears for fleas. These things should be done weekly or once every two weeks.

5. The person should also check on the sleeping quarters of the cat or dog. The pet must never be allowed to sleep on the concrete floor since the temperature drops in the evening. The best thing to do will be to purchase a mattress. The more expensive kind will even have a heater that will be useful especially during the winter.

6. The last thing is to make sure the pet takes its daily dose of food supplements. There are many in the market and these can be purchased over the counter without the need of getting a prescription from the vet. It is only when things get worse that the doctor will give something to ease the pain.

The average life span of most cats and dogs is between 10 to 15 years even if it has been diagnosed with an illness. If nothing can be done to remedy the situation, the best thing for the owner to do is put it to sleep.

This stops the pain that is being experienced by the pet, which humans will never feel or understand. There is no law prohibiting euthanasia in animals compared to human patients that are suffering and confined in the hospital.

There is only so much people can do when the cat or dog is around. This is why we have to cherish every moment that he or she is among us because there will come a time that it won’t be around anymore.

The other day I was doing a research online for an article I was writing and I came across an article, which the author started by saying: “Euthanasia, is often the hardest thing to do, yet the greatest act of kindness” Then he went on explaining the “grueling” suffering and the guilt the pet owner goes through before making the decision, how it affects the whole family, especially the kids. But then he explains euthanasia in the most loving way I’ve ever seen someone describe a murder. I remember “simple and peaceful” were some of the words he used, he even gave recommendations on how to avoid stress during the ride to the vet’s clinic.

The GREATEST act of KINDNESS? To whom? That little bundle of love didn’t know what was happening, he just knew that he was the happiest guy when you got home from work, he assumed you loved him back because you took him to walks on the park and you pampered him with professional grooming every once in a while. Little he knew that:

1.You were slowly poisoning him with the cheapest discount store pet food, that didn’t have the proper nutrients, but in turn was filled with toxins- Processed pet food suppresses the immune system and leads to liver, kidney, heart and other degenerative diseases. You are going to be shocked when you know the nasty things that are used to manufacture your pet’s food.

2.Your choice of grooming products was the reason of his constant itching- Commercial pet shampoos contains many toxic and destructive chemicals such as the foaming agents sodium laureth sulphate and cocamide betaine. These strong chemical de-greasers strip the hair of up to 4/5 of its natural oils and eventually produce sore, dry scalp/skin conditions and irritate the eyes. Sadly these foaming agents are used because consumers seem to believe incorrectly, that a lot of lather means a shampoo is working well.

3.You lead him to the degenerative diseases that put him in that cold, stainless steel table wondering, “What’s next?”- If you would have considered holistic pet care, for your furry friend, you could have been able to treat conditions even before the symptoms showed up and maintain your pet in balanced wellness avoiding him unnecessary pain, because holistic is not something metaphysical as many people may think, it simply means treating the body as a whole.

You don’t have to kill your dog (or cat), you have a choice: PREVENTION- that is the GREATEST act of kindness. It’s never too late to start taking good care of your pet, remember, we’re talking about the one who’s proud to be seen with you even if you’re ugly, the one who stays by your bed when you’re sick, the one who in the event of inverted positions, would not hesitate to take good care of you.
