Brandi | Venice dog photography
Beautiful Brandi embodies everything people love about Goldens. She is an incredibly sweet, people-loving dog, who will be your best friend if you’ll give her a kind word, a nice pet, or a cookie. At ten years young, she’s developing that wise white face that I LOVE in older Goldens. But don’t let her age [...]

Neighbor?s dogs bark constantly; is there a solution?
Question: I am unemployed at present and live in an apartment next to a resident who has a yard with several barking dogs. They have high-pitched barks and they bark daily for hours. I have called Palm Beach Animal Care & Control, but they will not act until they receive two affidavits from other neighbors. In the meantime, the dogs keep barking.
Is there some kind of solution to this problem behavior when they bark at anything? The owner is elderly, there may be a fine and I want to be a good neighbor. Any suggestions? — Kathie
Answer: You are in a sticky situation. Unfortunately, there is not a lot that you can do. Of course, on your end, you can use white noise in your house and sleep with ear plugs to drown out the sound. To stop the dogs from barking, you can try the ultrasonic bark correctors that are widely available on the market.

Dog Accessories
Nearly every accessory exists for dogs today. While some may not be necessities, there are many that are, and when it comes to clothing, jewelry and collars and charms for the dogs, the market is flooded with wonderful selections.
First when choosing dog accessories, consider the personality of your dog. Are they an animal that is comfortable in clothing? Are they fairly active?
For dogs that are comfortable in clothing, there is everything to choose from dresses, shirts and slacks, shorts, hoodies, t-shirts, sweeters, windbreakers, raincoats, swimsuits shoes and sandals. And, there is a style for every occasion from simple casual wear to elegant events.
For dogs that are not comfortable in clothing there are beautiful collars and charms, and other jewelry such as bracelets.
For that special look accessories definitely are a fashion statement that helps to comfort, protect and bring out the personality in your pet.

Why Is This Cat Aggressive Around House Guests?

How can she train dog to come when called?
Question: My dog is pretty good, but I can’t get him to come when I call him. He comes when he wants to. Can you help me? – Fran
Answer: I would say your complaint is one of the most common owner complaints about their dogs. Dogs do come when they want to do so. That is pretty standard stuff for dogs. It is our job to make them want to come to us.
Think about it, when you call your dog in the house, he generally gets a treat or gets to go on a walk. Those are fun things. They are rewards. When you call him when he is outside, he has to walk away from squirrels, a great hole that he just dug, cat poop, etc., and all he gets from you is a pat on the head or the “punishment” of going inside. It is an easy choice for him.
You should go back to basics and retrain the “come” cue. This may mean getting in touch with a positive reinforcement trainer in your area or going back to obedience class.
When your dog can come to you nine out of 10 times in the house, you can start to try it outside on a leash.
Make sure that you have the best food available to reward your dog. When he is successful on an 8-foot leash, you can start to practice on a 12-foot leash and so on.

The Importance of Clothes for Small Dogs
It just makes anyone happy to see a miniature Pincher, a Maltese, a Yorkie, or a Chihuahua dressed up on those clothes for small dogs. According to many surveys, many pet lovers intend to own and take care of such adorable little animals to dress them up. Surely, such animals are not toys but because they are often seen in costumes, they are now frequently referred to as toy dogs. Animal rights activists should not be offended because that referral is meant for cute and fabulous animals that everyone would certainly not fail to love.
Are you taking care of one? You should consider buying clothes for small dogs as a necessity. Contrary to what many people think, such small dog outfits are not just to play up with the little dogs? size and appearance. As always, such small clothes have their own importance?for overall protection against natural elements. As you can see, such breeds of little dogs are not created to face the extremes from nature, unlike their wilder and bigger relatives. As some researchers point out, toy dogs are mostly brought up for humans to protect and shield them. Such animals cannot possibly live on their own as they have to be always provided for.

The Easiest Way to Dress up your Pet
Besides getting your dog wearing several outfits like collars, sweaters and so on, T-shirts are the easiest in wearing. On the other hand, not many people are aware that dogs and even cats wear clothes but this is normal to most European countries and others in the world. If one is naive concerning this, he or she may wonder how this happens starting from making your pets get familiar and know how to wear such clothes. T-shirts for pets do not involve many things like buttoning thus making them much simpler to wear.
There are so many shops and boutiques selling all the clothes for pets but in most cases, it is very rare to get large stocks for t-shirts for big dogs since the manufacturers consider making them on order. For the few dog t-shirts available in the shops customers have to hurry in order to catch up with the long queues so that they can meet their high demands for them. When dressing up your dog with the t-shirts, they look great since most of them are not too frilly and this is one of the best ways of making the wardrobe for your dog to grow.
Having known that t-shirts for big dogs are essential to your pets, then it is wise to take an option of enlarging your wardrobe with these t-shirts and other outfits. The manufacturers of these t-shirts, they make them in various designs, style, colors and sizes so that they can meet all the demands of the customers plus taking care of the different sizes of the pets. What the customers need to do us for them to get into the stores and peruse all the types of t-shirts are available and then make the right decision. To mention some of the t-shirts for big dogs include; scribbled Merry Christmas Dog T-shirts, Cutie Pie Large Dog T-shirts and so on. Find many Pet supplies at formybestpal.com.
