Does your pet suffer from dog separation anxiety? Many do. It sure is not fun for their owners to deal with, either - that horrible, high pitched, constant whining or barking. The ear splitting howling is nearly unbearable. A noisy dog does not sit well with even the most friendly neighbors, especially if the neighbors work from home. All that noise is so unnerving! If your neighbors already have a grudge against you, this sure does not help. And they resent it all the more because you aren't there to suffer with them from all that clamor from dog separation anxiety, or to try to hush your dogs up. Many people have actually faced lawsuits because they cannot keep their dogs quiet. What are...

I am sure that most pet lovers are aware that dogs with food aggression rarely stand a chance of adoption. Some experts truly believe that a dog who is food aggressive, or aggressive in any way for that matter, will eventually turn on the family who owns it. While there is some truth to this no doubt, there is honestly more panic in the situation than anything. Let me be clear before I proceed. I understand the reasons for which a shelter will not adopt out an animal with this issue. Liability is the biggest one in this crazy, extremely litigious world we live in. And, few people out there understand or have what it takes to handle and rehab an animal with this dog behavior problem. Dogs, in truth...

We have been taking glimpses into wild wolf society to help us understand dog instinctive behavior (both good and bad) that we observe in our pets. We find fascinating organization and rigid structure in wild wolf society, with swift, consistent, fair discipline and clearly drawn lines of leadership, support, and boundaries. The importance of coordinated participation from every wolf pack rank in the hunt, territorial fights, and really all other times, help us to understand the roles of dogs with different personalities, how they seek to interact with us and with other animals, and the kind of leadership and boundaries that your domestic dog expects from you -- without which he is miserable! A...

A Chocoholic-gift is too good for most. When you smell it, youwant it. When you taste it you want more of it. My friendcoined a phrase. "I like it, I love it. And I want some more of it." I wouldn'thave ever imagined in my wildest dreams that I am addicted tochocolate; I don't smoke, drink alcohol and I don't reallyhave any negative vices that I know of.

My mother tells methat when I was three, she would always hold me on her hipwhen she was cooking or she would put me in a highchair (notfun, not fun at all). Although, when I am in the chair she either gives me a toy orsomething to eat (the good...

I know it sounds crazy, but I love AND hate that Cesar Millan Dog Whisperer show. It's fascinating to watch him re-shape dog's behavior, but it's really hard to understand his concepts and how to actually make the dog change his behavior. I have trained dogs before, and I have watched Cesar's TV show and read his books. He brings a lot of "intuitive energy" to dog training. He talks about doing "centering" exercises and meditation at home. He says it's important to have calm and positive thoughts in your mind when you are interacting with your dog. However, I think he falls short on a lot of communication to people in general, about how to get their dog to do what they want. I have watched the show...

Unfortunately, it is still frighteningly common for people to buy puppies for Christmas only to attempt to re-home the creature come January. Sadly, after Christmas is over, the novelty has worn off, as the dog is making a mess all over the carpet and behaving in an unruly manner.

Blue heelers, also known as Australian heelers and Queensland heelers, are energetic, active dogs, 17-20 inches high at the shoulder, and weighing about 44 to 62 pounds. They were bred in Australia to herd cattle, with an instinct to nip the cattle to keep them in the herd. Although they make good, intelligent pets, they can be suspicious of strangers, and a suspicious, fearful dog, can be apt to bite. The best way to prevent biting is to socialize a dog early so that he or she does not think of strangers as something to be feared. Socialization should begin when your puppy is 8 to 16 weeks old. By the time he or she reaches 4 months, the pup should be able to accept strangers calmly. This does not...

With approximately half of the population of the United States owning a pet, there can be no doubt, it is an animal loving nation. However, with many people living in apartments, the well-being of the animal should be placed above an individual's desire to own a pet. I am obviously not suggesting that apartment dwellers should not own a pet, but it is important to ensure that your animal of choice is suitable for life in an environment of limited space. Dogs If you live in an apartment, especially one with no garden or yard, it is probably best not to purchase a large breed of dog, such as a Great Dane, St Bernard or an Irish Wolfhound. Of course, from the dog's point of view, if you are in a...

When people think of the fox, the first thing that comes to mind is the animal where men armed with guns and accompanied by dogs go on a hunt. This event, which is quite popular in many parts of Europe and in the United States, still happens today.  The fox is closely related to dogs, wolves and jackals. The pointed nose, bushy tail and at times long ears make this distinction. This animal travels alone and is very wary of humans. Given these facts, can such a creature be brought home and cared for as an exotic pet? It is possible. The Russians were able to domesticate the Silver Fox after 45 years of hard work. Another example is the Fennec Fox, which is commonly found in North Africa. Both...

As with many man-made chemicals, the full extent of their effect on the human body isn't apparent until after several years of exposure.

A person or family usually decides between a cat and a dog when deciding to get a family pet. While dogs are considered man's best friend, cats also make excellent house pets. There are many obvious and more discreet advantages to owning a cat over a dog. The major reason why cats make better pets is that a dog's love is almost automatically given to its master, while a cat's love must be earned. Cats make better house pets because they are cleaner animals on a whole. Cats bathe themselves and use a litter box. Litter boxes are much easier to clean and maintain then constantly picking up a dog's droppings around the yard or neighborhood. Because cats wash themselves, they produce far less odor than...
