Dogs

Submitted by: Tonie Day

Here’s the thing, I believe ‘Boredom’ to be a ‘BIG part of Bad Behavior’ in doggys. If you think about it and put yourself in their shoes, you may possibly come to understand what it takes for them to communicate their NEEDS. They cannot speak the English Language or? They do however have other ways of getting your attention and some may be a bit destructive. So, I think we humans need to be these 3 things, Patient, Gentle and Consistant and we must ‘Never Give Up’. If you have a ”new puppy” or a ”rescue doggy” that is showing you these kinds of ”boredom signals”, Chewing, Jumping, Barking, Digging or disobedience of any sort, you now know you will have to take the leadership role and that the above 3 things is what is expected or required of you in dealing with bad behavior and the way you communicate.

#1. Chewing-If the doggy is just a puppy it may be as simple as supplying doggy with chewing toys/items from your local pet store. It could also be an undiagnosed medical problem which can be handled with medication. You will need a vet at some point so I would suggest one of the very first things you do is take the doggy for a check-up (Up front, just put it in the budget). Peace of mind. On the other hand the doggy may just be trying to get your attention.”Hey, look at me, I’m still here and you’ve been at work all day! I was so bored I chewed up your new $100.00 sneakers.” Although there are those who probably nay say the idea, give the doggy an old shoe with your scent on it for ‘doggys alone time day delight’ and be sure to pick-up other tempting items before you leave doggy for work or? You will need to schedule “Quality Time”to spend with your doggy, dog walks, dog parks(good for socialization skills) or whatever regular outings you come up with, it’s a ‘Boredom Preventative’ MUST!

#2. Barking-Sometimes it really is just ‘dog talk’ between the 2 of you, one of those tender moments. But when it is not, boredom and loneliness are the most common reasons. Try leaving a radio or TV on, they even make videos for animals while you are away at work. The doggy should have lots of toys to amuse himself and the squeakier the better.

#3. Digging-This activity may just be a part of that doggys ‘breed’ or sheer boredom. Now would be a good time to teach your doggy how to fetch, most love this game but it must be taught when the 2 of you are alone so that other doggys do not run interference in lesson. Here is the payoff, the more exercise can make your doggy too tired to ‘dig’. Also there is a non-toxic doggy repellent you can spray where you don’t want your doggy to dig.

#4. Jumping-Most people do not appreciate ( including dog lovers) a doggy propelling itself in your face. This is a very hard one to break, you may need to physically enforce and with a strong command word, then reward with verbal praise and a treat. Check with a dog trainer for most effective way to deal with this behavior. But again it is usually out of loneliness/boredom because they are so glad and excited to see you!

Disobedience of any kind will always call for repetitive lessons and rewards. Some of these sweet babys just do not understand what is expected of them, and that is when Patience, Gentleness and Consistency come into play. If this becomes too frustrating for you and the doggy, you may want to consider obedience school. This will be good for both of you and make your time spent together more enjoyable!

Here are some important thoughts and/or questions you should have in your mind before you go out & bring home your new dog, first off I will pull no punches in this regard of owning a new dog. It is a lot of work at first; here is an example, every time the new pup wakes up from a nap he or she will need to go pee and off you go outside. This new dog will be with you for the next 10 to 15 years at least. Also, this new dog can and will be a loyal, faithful and devoted companion. Bringing a dog into your home is an important step for you and/or your family. There are many breeds to choose from, how do you manage to make a decision on which one breed is best suited for you? With a little thought, you can nail down the selections & find the best-suited dog breed by following a few simple steps.

Foremost, how much space do you have. Many people tend to forget this factor. Ask yourself how much space do you have in your home. It should be the primary factor to consider before picking the dog breed. If you and/or your family live in a tiny apartment, you will want to refrain from getting a large dog. Look for dogs in the Toy group, such as Yorkshire Terriers, or Some of the smaller dogs in the Terrier group, like the Miniature Schnauzer.

With that said, if you have children, you have to think about the size of the dog, as well. Very small dogs, such as Chihuahuas or Maltese, can be very frail & are occasionally accidentally injured by very tiny children. But then, very prominent dogs, such as Boxers or the Saint Bernard, can be overly rumbustious as puppies & can inadvertently turn your infant into a human bowling pin. Consider average sized breeds, such as Fox Terriers or Lhasa Apsos, as an alternative. It’s best to consider the children rather than your own preference.

The next thing is, can you give your new dog any exercise. If you have a residence with a fenced yard, your domestic dog will be able to get some physical exercise on his own. But, dog breeds in the Sporting, Hound, & Herding groupings are very high-energy animals & you will need to have enough time to provide them with more intensive physical exercise. Plan to take a great deal of long strolls with your new hound or go for a day-after-day romp in the park. Let’s think about it, these new dog breeds were bred to work hard and don’t do well unless they have a job to do or a way to burn off excess energy.

Finally, don’t forget to look at grooming demands. Some domestic dog breeds only need a little more than a half hour or so of grooming a week, while others call for to be groomed for around a little more than an hour a day. So let’s think about it, if you are short on time, don’t buy a Poodle or a Maltese, unless, of course, you plan to take your new hound for a groom. Breeds like Boston Terriers or Whippets are fine choices for busy people who don’t have time to do a lot of grooming. Boiled down, the best dog breed is the one that fits the kind of life the future owner has.

Lastly, Most people choose their dog breed because each person has their own pre-conceived idea of what he or she wants in a dog. Sometimes its just the physical attributes of the dog, like the size, the shape of the face and/or the overall looks. Do yourself a favor and do not forget the above simple steps.

After you make up your mind on which breed of new puppy you want, you will need to consider the age of the new puppy. Many individuals opt to buy a cuddly little puppy instead of an older new hound. While puppies have not acquired any bad habits, it will be up to the new owner to be sure that the puppy becomes housebroken and obedience trained.

Whilst you’ve specified the breed options and have determined which new dog is right for you, don’t get too relaxed. After all, you still have a single more important choice to make, what to name your new puppy!

When you have a doggie for the first time, you quickly learn that you there is more to taking care of that doggie than just feeding it. Many people will look at you like you are insane if you mention the Doggie daycare in Odenton to them or any doggie daycare at all really. Dogs are not to be put in daycares; they are not children and can behave and be fine just fine by themselves for a few hours a day.

There are some pet parents that simply do not believe that however and tough the Doggie daycare in Odenton and everywhere else is relatively new, you can be sure there are plenty of pet parents out there that get their dogs up and ready to go to daycare in the mornings on their way to work.

Of course, as with any other type of daycare there are pros and cons to this kind as well. Read on for a few of the pros and cons of the doggie daycares in your area.

Pros of Doggie Daycares

* The fact that your dog doesn’t have to stay in a lonely house all day long is one of the main reasons that people put their dogs in daycare. You would not want to be stuck in a house all day long with no one to talk too and your puppy doesn’t appreciate it either.

* Safety is also a major concern for pet owners. If there is a fire, you pet lacks the skills to get out of the home. If the pet is safe in daycare then you don’t have to worry about it.

* Wear and tear on your home is another good reason for doggie daycare. Pets that are left alone tend to get into trouble. You can save a lot of tear on your furniture by putting Fido in daycare when you are gone.

Cons of Doggie Daycares

* The only real cons seems to be the fact that some dogs get overly stimulated and are hard to calm down when they get home.

Doggie daycares have become an option that many pet owners are exploring these days. For more information, visit GambrillsVeterinaryCenter.com today.

People with excessive weight issues have been trying out many different solutions for their problem. In the United States, one of the most popular and proven effective is what is called as Metabothin. It is a copycat version of the unpatented fat-burning supplement Metabolife 356, which has been discontinued due to a legal ban on one of the main ingredients, ephedra.

The American Generic Laboratories has deigned and formulated Metabothin to resemble Metabolife 356, which for some time had enjoyed a strong support and patronage from weight conscious consumers in the US until the legislative ban on ephedra. The prohibition stemmed from a 2005 court order favoring the US Food and Drug Administrations move to stop distribution of supplements that contain 10 mg and more of ephedra, an herb known for its fat-burning features.

The court decision involved another supplement company, Nutraceutical Corp. The pharmaceutical firm argued that its product containing ephedrine was dangerous. The court first agreed with the company but when the regulator appealed the decision, the appellate court favored it.

Thus, Metabolife 356 was instantly discontinued. Its copycat version, Metabothin somehow still manages to be distributed across the US market but only through online means. That is the reason why the supplement could be considered a rarity especially these days. The US court has ruled that ephedrine is dangerous and that products containing the substance should be stopped.

The original Metabolife 356 with Ephedra and Green Tea was popular during its time because of its ability to increase the bodys own metabolism to make it easier to burn out unwanted and excessive calories. Many Americans that time chose to use the product because it could actually and really help shed out those extra pounds. There was a precise and effective blend of herbs that comprised Metabolife 356.

For its part, Metabothin is aimed at bringing about the same effects of Metabolife 356. It also contained ephedra and caffeine, which strategically work together in a synergistic level to bring about fat burning characteristics. This nutritional supplement functions by suppressing the appetite and unnecessarily cravings for food.

Metabothin has many other active ingredients, including chromium picolinate, vitamins, royal jelly, bee pollen, goldenseal, and many other herbals. It is the combination of its ephedra and caffeine ingredients that bring about total effectiveness. Other herbs contained in the product act as enhancers to the energizing effect of the unique formula.

Ephedra is actually an herb. However, there could be other unlikely effects that its usage could bring about. That is because its nutrients actually target the central nervous system as an appetite suppressant. There is nothing risky and wrong with that except that possible abuse and over-dosage could logically lead to a serious problem. Ephedra is therefore a very powerful weight loss ingredient so that it should never be approached very lightly. There is an actual need for its imminent regulation.

Do you plan to try out and use Metabothin? You could still possibly do so as it is still available online. If you are in search for a really effective fat burner, the supplement truly is for you.

There is no universal protocol for canine vaccination schedules. Many vets recommend more vaccinations than most dogs require to be protected from contagious diseases. A lot of vets use the vaccination schedule they receive with the vaccinations they buy from drug companies. Vets are now realizing to trust vaccine makers may not be the best thing to do. Vaccine makers are in the business of selling vaccines.

There are a number of things pet owners can do to make sure their dogs are protected against contagious diseases without overvaccinating. You need to learn about the diseases the vaccines defend your dog against. Before you allow your vet to vaccinated, ask your vet about the disease it prevents. What is its incidence? How is it transmitted? Is it more prevalent in your particular area? Ask your vet is the disease treatable, and if so, how many dogs recover? If you find out the disease kills many dogs who get it and the virus is everywhere, you should probably authorize your vet to vaccinate your dog against that disease. If you find out a particular disease is very prevalent in your area, you should probably authorize your vet to vaccinate your dog against that disease in addition to other appropriate vaccines.

A list of vaccines for dogs that most experts agree puppies and dogs should be protected against – diseases that are highly contagious and potentially fatal would include:

Canine Parvovirus type 2 (CPV-2) Canine distemper virus (CDV) Canine adenovirus type 2 (CAV-2) Rabies virus (RV)

If you are concerned about overvaccination be sure to have your puppies vaccinated against distemper, parvo, and adenovirus, not before six weeks, and at least once after the age of 12 weeks, and a rabies vaccine given after 16 weeks. About two weeks after the last vaccination with distemper, parvo, and adenovirus, ask for a vaccine titer test to see if your puppy has been successfully immunized.

Other vaccine tips you need to remember:

Use vaccine titer tests to see if your dog is adequately immunized against the diseases that most experts aggree puppies and dogs should be protected against. These are diseases that are highly contagious and potentially fatal.

Don’t use low-cost clinics for your dog’s vaccinations (unless the clinic is operated by a professional you know and trust). Instead make a relationship with a vet who will take time with you, who will ask your about your dog’s health history, answer your questions about the benefits and risks of various vaccines and recommend an individualized vaccination schedule for your dog that takes into consideration his lifestyle and environment.

Take your dog to the vet at least once a year.

Do not vaccinate dogs who suffer from chronic or acute health problems, running a high temperaturem, or who have a history of vaccine reactions. Do not vacciante elderly dogs just because if your dog has been vaccinated many times in the younger years, he is probably immunized against disease as much as he can be.

As a marketer there is one thing you should always be doing, and it is possibly the one thing that most marketers take for granted and do not do. That one thing is optimizing your ads, by testing them.

Each and every part of your ad should be tested. You can make multiple ads and, assuming they are all accepted, you should make very small changes in each of them. From here, you need tracking. Whichever program or option you use for tracking, be sure to compare all of your results.

This is going to take some extra work. For instance, for your ads, you will want to run at least two at a time with one or two word changes. You might change the image in one ad, and that will be the variable you are testing, or you can change your call to action.

The landing pages you use should also be tested. Variables include the headline, sub headline, bullets, calls to action, etc.

You might be surprised to find that one word changes can make a big difference in conversions. A call to action such as Click to visit now can produce different results from Click to visit today.

Another variable you should be testing is time. Your ad will run at all times unless you specify otherwise. You can use your tracking program to see how conversions, sales, leads change based on the day of the week, the time of the day, etc. You may find that weekends convert better, or perhaps you receive fewer leads.

Testing Options

There are two ways to consistently test. One way that is most common is A/B testing. A/B testing is where you make very subtle changes to the ad, image, and headline on Facebook. You would also make very small changes on your landing page and have visitors rotated between the two pages. This option takes longer but gives you more specific results.

The other testing option is making more radical changes to your campaign. For instance, your headline for your ad for dog training might be: Train Your Dog In 1 Day. To test it this way, you would try something completely different, such as: Instant Puppy Training. This option for testing is supposed to help you get faster results as you take the one that has the best results and then try something else.

Whichever option you use to test your campaigns, the point is that it is very important. Testing can save you hundreds on clicks, increase your leads/conversions, and improve your ROI. If you aren t testing right now, you have no idea how much you are losing because of it. Take some time to consider what this could mean to your bottom line.
