			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People in the dog grooming organization are regularly asked by their clients how normally they ought to bathe their dog. This is a really widespread question because dog owners want to preserve their pets in tip-top condition.</p>
<p>They&#8217;re worried that if they bathe their dog too often it&#8217;ll cause dry skin, but in the event you don&#8217;t bathe your dog normally sufficient we all know the dreadful consequences. Specifically if it&#8217;s been raining outside. Due to the fact it&#8217;s a well-known fact that the smell of an unwashed, wet dog is enough to put Rosanne Barr off her dinner.</p>
<p>This issue of shampoo causing dry skin can be a pretty popular misconception. A lot of vets will tell you that dry skin on a dog might be brought on by bathing too frequently. But, unless you&#8217;re employing a especially harsh shampoo and/or your dog has particularly sensitive skin, it truly is most unlikely that you will trigger such a condition. A far a lot more essential factor in maintaining wholesome skin with the correct balance of natural oils is usually a beneficial diet plan. If you ensure that your dog eats properly, you&#8217;ll most likely come across that his skin and coat are kept in good condition regardless of how regularly you bathe him.</p>
<p>In case you are in any doubt about this, just ask any individual who enters their dogs into shows. Most show dogs will receive a bath every single day. I wouldn&#8217;t suggest such frequent bathing for most dogs since it is simply unnecessary. Nevertheless, weekly bathing is completely fine provided you use a gentle shampoo and follow up having a good conditioner to replace the natural oils which are lost for the duration of a bath.</p>
<p>One widespread mistake to appear out for if your dog has a skin condition, especially should you be utilizing a medicated shampoo, is not to bathe your dog so generally that you simply defeat the purpose of bathing at all. In case you do this the dog&#8217;s sebaceous glands can become over-active in a bid to replace the oils lost during washing, which can easily make the difficulty worse rather than much better.</p>
<p>An essential factor in deciding how often to bathe your dog is just how much your dog enjoys the act of washing. If your dog runs a mile every time he hears you running the bath, or creates mayhem whenever you take him into the bathroom, you will choose to minimise the quantity of time you spend bathing him. If nevertheless your dog is among the few who really loves bathtime, you could wind up becoming talked into giving him a bath just for fun, even when he does not definitely need to have 1.</p>
<p>So, despite the fact that the choice of how often you want to bathe your dog is purely subjective, based on how dirty and smelly he is also as just how much hassle it&#8217;s, you may just be most effective following the rule of thumb that a bath as soon as a month keeps on best of the cleaning aspects of the task without generating too much additional function for you and stress and hassle for your dog.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The German Shepherd is an  excellent family dog.  They  must have proper training and socialization as  puppies in order to  mature to be the outstanding beautiful  dog they are.   Coming from Germany they are a large breed dog ..  The name – Deutscher Schaferhund – literally  translates to German Shepherd Dog. Originally used for herding and protecting  sheep, they are now  needed for almost everything from loyal family pets, <a href='http://www.omegashepherds.com/youngadults.html' target='_blank'>Family Protection Dogs</a>, guard dogs, personal companions, police dogs, drug dogs, bomb detection dogs, military dogs, search and rescue, agility, show, schutzhund, obedience, tracking, service dogs, therapy dogs&#8230;&#8230; you name it! A German Shepherd can do  it all.</p>
<p>    A true  German Shepherd is loyal and  willing to work.  They are born and bred to please their human master and there is no  assignment to small to give their heart out to do for you.  A  quiet dog with the kids from newborns to goofy  teenagers to a fierce   guardian of what is theirs.  An intelligent   k-9 they often out think their human counterparts, and don&#8217;t do well chained in the back yard  where they will become bored, a terrible  way to treat a dog as majestic  as the German Shepherd.    </p>
<p>     They are a large breed with the  <a href='http://www.omegashepherds.com/about.html' target='_blank'>German Shepherd AKC Standard</a> for them being 22-26 inches  high at the  shoulder and weigh between 50 and 90 pounds – with some even going as much as 100-120 pounds.  A German Shepherd owner should  be careful though, not to let their dog get overweight  which will cause  unnecessary strain on their  joints. </p>
<p>The standard is a short coat dog that is either black and tan or black and red – the color of Rin Tin Tin.   Although , they do come in almost  every color from solid black to solid white and sable which is typically light coloring through out their body (no solid coloring) and Bi-Color which is almost solid black with  only a little tan on each leg up to about their pastern and a little tan on their face around their eye brows and cheeks.</p>
<p>  Although  the standard is a short coat the German Shepherds does come in short  and long  hair.  They do shed some.  Twice a year they “blow” their coat and shed very heavily for about a week.  A  hefty daily brushing during this time helps keep the hair out of the  home!  Other than blowing their coat they don&#8217;t need a lot of grooming .  A bath several times a month and good brushing several times a week just to keep the hair down around the  home.  Their coat  doesn&#8217;t  knot.  And they don&#8217;t pick up to much debris outside (such a cockle burs ). </p>
<p>    If they come from good breeding stock and get proper  care they can be expected to live about 12 years – I am a <a href='http://www.omegashepherds.com' target='_blank'>German Shepherd Breeder</a> and some of  mine have lived up to 16 years!  </p>
<p>   They  adore kids and will  normally follow them around giving you peace of mind that no one will mess with  your kids.  It is a proven fact that thieves will go somewhere else  if they see a German Shepherd around – they are even better than a  electric alarm system !</p>
<p>   As you can tell a German Shepherd really can do it all!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The fur is a dog&#8217;s crowning glory but there are situations when dog owners would think that shaving will be best for the dog. The heat of the summer months would take a toll on the dog thus long haired breeds are commonly shaved. Excessive shedding, fur that tangles and mats easily, hot spots and other fungal infections are usually the reasons why a pet owner would opt to shave the dog. Dogs advanced in age would not appreciate a good brushing thus an owner would choose to shave the dog to lessen the need to groom.</p>
<p>Dog owners would opt to shave the dog for different reasons. Professional groomers charge from $40 to $80 to shave a dog. Shaving the pet would be fun &#8211; the dog will not complain and the hair would grow in no time anyways.</p>
<p>If you have decided to shave the dog, the task would be much easier (and kinder on the clipper) if the hair is clean and tangle free. Bathing the dog before the shaving session will remove the dirt from the coat. The coat must be thoroughly dried and combed to remove tangles. The shaving task would be easier and of course kinder on your back if the dog is positioned on a table but ensure that the head of the pet is loosely fastened to an overhead support to prevent the dog from jumping while being shaved. A dog that will be shaved for the first time must be accustomed to the humming and the vibration of the clipper thus before the starting to shave lay the turned on clipper against the body of the dog.</p>
<p>With a #10 blade start shaving the hair between the eyes of the dog. Carefully shave the hair between the eyes. Move on to the face and to the ears. For long eared breeds, lift the ear to shave the hair on the inner ear.</p>
<p>The next is the armpit area. You need to raise the legs but be sure that the position is not making the dog uncomfortable. The anal area comes next. Shaving the anal area is necessary for long haired dogs. Change the blade with a longer one and shave the rest of the body. Run the clipper in long slow strokes from the head to the neck and down to the side of the body . Pull the loose skin of the belly to make shaving easier. Last to be shaved are the legs and feet. Finished! Pat yourself on the back and hug the dog for a job well done.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While you may not notice or even think about it, your pet could have a very dangerous disease. Well not really a disease, more like an infection. To be exact a parasite. The parasites in question are called heartworms, they have more exact names, but the medicine is aimed to take care of all of them at once. One such medicine is called <a href='http://www.squidoo.com/iverhartplus' target='_blank'>Iverhart Plus</a>. The scary part of <a href='http://iverhartplus.blogspot.com' target='_blank'>heartworms</a> is that their is no notice for up to two years. Which by the time they show infection it may be too late. That is why i have mentioned Iverhart Plus. I know you want to protect your beloved pet from heartworms and so does Ivermectin/Pyrantel, the makers of Iverhart Plus. </p>
<p>Now what is the problem with heartworms? Well they can kill your pet. How do they kill your pet? Well basically by growing inside your pets heart. Think about this, a human heart is about this size of a fist. So a full grown dogs heart is probably three quarters the size, just to give you an example. The heartworms grow inside the heart. So the problem is, how big they grow. They can grow up to fourteen inches in length and are around one eighth (1/8) of an inch long. Now imagine how can that work out. Well it cannot. So what ends up happening is the heart gets clogged and stops functioning properly. So much damage from one heartworm. Once the heart stops working properly, so do the other organs, like the lungs, kidneys , and liver. If these stop working properly, then your pet is in very bad shape and needs proper medical treatment.</p>
<p>This is why I recommend Iverhart Plus. Just like in dog training, prevention is the key. That is what Iverhart Plus is aimed at. The prevention of heart worms. If you are like me and cannot handle seeing your pet pet like that, then Iverhart Plus is your answer.</p>
<p>Why I recommend Iverhart Plus. That is easy, it is because I use Iverhart Plus. I recently obtained a second dog, my first one passed away a few years ago from the ripe old age of 13. I have used Iverhart Plus and have no infections with either of my dogs. Plus Iverhart Plus is veterinarian prescribed. </p>
<p>The best part of Iverhart Plus is it only needs to be administered once a month. It comes in a chewable pill that is liver flavored. Most dogs should like this. But even with medicine, some dogs act just like people and do not like it. I know my dog did not like it at first. I would give him the Iverhart Plus pill and he would spit it out. The funny thing is he would look at it and then eat the pill. It is kind of funny watching him eat his pill, but he will eat it all on his own. I just tell him it is a treat and he will eat it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nearly everyone knows that a Bichon canine is rather type and friendly and loves practically everybody. The dogs gentle disposition and thirst for human affection can make this dog a wonderful candidate for a family pet. Not surprisingly, you have to devote ample time for his maintenance and training so that he will become totally happy and healthy.</p>
<p>Bichons have the tendency to be stubborn if they are not properly trained, despite the fact that they are extremely protective and loyal to their owners. If this is your 1st time to own a pet doggy, it&#8217;s comforting to learn that this specific doggie breed is very intelligent, which creates them easier to train.</p>
<p>Below are the issues that you&#8217;ll need to learn so as to possess the correct mindset when working out your Bichon pup:</p>
<p>1. Among the biggest obstacles in training a Bichon pup is housebreaking. When housebreaking your puppy, often remember that Bichons love to own clear rules as to what they can do and cannot do. Consistency is the key. Lead with a firm, loving and consistent hand, and you&#8217;ll be certain to possess the pup as a great addition to your family.</p>
<p> 2. Earning your pet&#8217;s self-confidence as well as affection will be among the first issues that you should do to establish a great exercising method. Learn these two traits and you&#8217;re on your route to efficiently working out your puppy. Dogs tend to be normally cooperative and they usually follow an assertive guide.</p>
<p>3. Be patient. Patience is required as you have to regularly assume the role of your pet&#8217;s leader and guide. This could be difficult for some folks as successfully education a pup means that you would like to permit ample time for your pet to understand to respect, trust and depend on you. Your efforts will be rewarded in time and eventually your pup will give you the trust and devotion you rightly deserve.</p>
<p>4.  Dog owners sometimes misread a <a href='http://bichonpuppy.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/instructing-your-bichon-puppy-what-you-may-need-to-understand/' target='_blank'>bichon puppy</a>&#8216;s friendliness for respect and loyalty. At the onset of instruction, prevent yourself from showering your brand new animal with affection and hugs due to the fact this may complicate his working out. Make it obvious to him that he can not just get away with whatever he wants. Set appropriate limitations and don&#8217;t forget to give him a treat whenever he displays great behavior!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t let setbacks knock you off course. I wish you the ideal of luck in training your Bichon dog!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you do not know what pet clippers are, then I should inform you that they are nothing more than electric clippers just like the ones used to cut hair at the barbershop or the salon. To keep it short, they?re just a tool used in the grooming of your pet.</p>
<p>Many pet owners love and adore their pets so much that they?ll do anything to keep them comfortable and looking good. You can look at it this way: some people consider their pets?, children; therefore, they do not see anything wrong with taking top notch care of a them. Just as if someone with children would want them to look the best, they can.</p>
<p>There are some advantages of using pet clippers instead of scissors to groom your pet such as efficiency. Electric pet clippers can cut a lot more fur in one swipe than any scissors. You will also finish the job in a lot more time than if you relied solely on scissors to get such a tedious job done, and anyone that grooms pets know that it can be tedious.</p>
<p>The job will also be a lot less messy. Many pet groomers use clippers because it makes trimming pets with a lot of hair a breeze with virtually little mess at the conclusion. However, you will always have those old school pet groomers that will swear by the scissors (lol).</p>
<p>Electric pet clippers are also easy to use. When using a clipper, you only have to run the device up and down and side to side your pet?s fur. This is no doubt a hell of a lot easier than cutting with scissors, where you will have to use both hands to complete the job, and that?s if the animal does not lose patience. Clippers allow you to use one hand to cut and the other hand to console and assure the animal that you are grooming.</p>
<p>Pet clippers are easy to find, you can find them at any pet shop. However, do not go into a barbershop asking for <a href='http://www.doggroomingclippersonline.com' target='_blank'>good clippers for dog grooming</a> because they?ll look at you as if you?ve lost your mind. Stick with the pet shops for your pet grooming supplies.</p>
<p>You can also purchase pet clippers online. Purchasing pet grooming clippers on the internet can actually be a lot better than going in to a pet shop, because on the internet you?re guaranteed to find the best pet clippers on the market such as oster dog clippers, which is one of the best clippers for pets on the market.</p>
<p>If you are accustomed to grooming your pet with scissors, then it will take some time to get used to using electric pet clippers. However, with a little patience, you will do a professional job in no time at all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you ready to start <a href='http://grooming-spaniel.blogspot.com/' target='_blank'>spaniel grooming</a>?<br />
First, you should check with your state government for all the current requirements of May that we do not know. Remember, laws change frequently between states and local governments and county of these states. Wherever your business goes live, your concern is a local, state and federal. In addition, if you as a groomer for pets may not need to be formally approved, it is likely that a corporate license (s) to operate a grooming business Pet May be necessary, especially if your company will reside in a major metropolitan area or a section formed along a rural town. Check with your state government and all local operating permits and permit requirements before you open your business.In an industry without a license for professional groomers for pets, owners of pets and pets may be at risk of the services received from groomers and pet without reservation.</p>
<p>And you have to remember <a href='http://grooming-spaniel.blogspot.com/' target='_blank'>grooming spaniel</a> in addition.<br />
Except inquire pet owners, they may never know that their groomer pet never attended a school for grooming pets, learning for a suitable period of time with a professional groomer or experienced pet sought certification as a professional pet care.Indeed, how the owner of the pet groomer to know if their pet is not an amateur with no training? </p>
<p>There are grooming business owners who &#8220;moved almost overnight&#8221; without a learning or formal training.Without formal professional license, groomer pet certification programs have become another way to communicate with pet owners that the groomer pet certified received some level of training and tested performance.Certification can enhance consumer confidence, but certification is no substitute for professional licenses as you can see below.The proof of certification is a right, and sometimes includes additional rights to display the logo of the certifying body in your company and promotional material.Certification usually involves performance testing focused on the aesthetic value of your finish grooming based on the profile of the breed of the animal as expressed by its standard individual race.</p>
<p>Consumers may acquire more confidence knowing you have been certified by a reputable organization, and certainly distinguish you as far from amateur status.The most revered rights generally involve the phrase &#8220;master or stylist master groomer, and that the state requires a lot of experience beyond attending a grooming school pet or a period of basic learning.We recommend that you seek certification.However, we note that this is not an absolute requirement, it does not guarantee financial success.There are groomers and pet and very successful business owners who are not certified, but you can be sure they comply with the certification process and have a similar commitment to defend the skills worthy animal care certification. Although that licenses professional animal handlers is still not a reality, significant progress is being made to it so. It is unlikely that the procedures for granting business licenses will be conducted similar to the certification procedures.Obtaining a license for professional pet grooming would probably need a wider review on the subject, such as those who made public, groomer pet and security.Washing procedures and skills for the safe handling of animals is fundamental, however much space would be needed for artistic interpretation and creativity.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sources of Certification </p>
<p>You&#8217;ve decided to become certified. Now, where are you going for certification. You must review all programs offered by the following organizations, and to measure the relevance of certification to your personal career and business goals.All these elements are fine and well-known organizations of which we are happy to recommend. Becoming certified requires time, money and effort that you travel with your pet (s) to sites of certification..</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With so many different kinds of <a href="http://www.pampered-dog-gifts.com/page/703018" target="_self">dog shampoos</a> on the market today, it is not easy to decide which one to use.  For most breeds, a basic, all-purpose shampoo is fine.  But if you want your shampoo to do more than clean, you might consider a specialty shampoo.</p>
<p>• Shampoos designed to deliver extra conditioning to long or curly coats can make post-bath grooming even easier.</p>
<p>• Accentuate your dog&#8217;s coat color by choosing a shampoo made for white, black, or red coats.</p>
<p>• For sensitive eyes, consider a tearless shampoo.</p>
<p>• For wire-coated dogs, look for a shampoo designed to preserve the crisp texture of your dog&#8217;s coat.</p>
<p>• Many dogs have sensitive skin or eyes.  A hypoallergenic shampoo can minimize sensitivity reactions to bathing.</p>
<p>• If your dog already has a rash, allergies, itching, or other sensitive skin conditions, look for a medicated shampoo designed to treat your dog&#8217;s problem. Your vet should be able to recommend a good medicated shampoo for your dog.</p>
<p>• For flea season, consider a shampoo containing a gentle anti-flea ingredient such as pyrethrin or limonene, or any of several natural botanicals designed to repel fleas, such as neem oil.</p>

<li>The slicker brush removes all the loose hair and the comb takes care of the tangles.
</li>
<li> Brush your Dog along the hair growth and make sure you reach the skin as you brush his way.
</li>
<li> Then use a flea comb over the coat to get the fleas and remove any remaining tangles. Part the coat and start from the root and then comb through.
</li>
<li> If your Dog&#8217;s paw pads are hairy, then clip them using electric clippers. Do not clip the hair in between the pads. Clip only the excess hair.</li>
</ul>
<p align="justify">Brush your Dog&#8217;s hairs to prevent it from matting. Matting can be a very painful experience. </p>
<p align="justify">Regular brushing untangles the matted hairs on your Dog&#8217;s coat. Since this is a risky job to do, the best way out is to prevent them from forming in the first place. And doing this is simple: just brush and comb your Dog regularly. If and when you see any mats or tangles, use a detangle solution and a medium-toothed comb. </p>
<p align="justify">Don&#8217;t wait until your Dog is dirty or matted to introduce him to grooming. That would make him associate the experience with unpleasantness. Moreover, many dogs learn to see their routine brushing as an alternate form of petting, i.e. another source of affection and attention.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;">When you think of a hotspot you may imagine a hip nightclub or a packed restaurant, but dog hotspots are nowhere near as fun. For a dog a hotspot can be a painful irritation that can potentially be a serious health complication if infection sets in. So what is a canine hotspot, and how do you know if your dog has one? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal; text-align: center;" align="center"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;">What are Hotspots?</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">            </span>A hotspot begins when your dog’s skin itches, for a variety of reasons. It could be that allergies are irritating the skin, or that trapped moisture is making him itchy. Because dog allergies are more common in the summer (grass and pollen abound) they are often known as a summertime ailment, but they can happen year round. Mats in longer haired breeds also create an ideal situation for hotspots because the skin can’t breathe and moisture gets trapped beneath the matted hairs. When the pup begins to scratch the itchy area repeatedly he digs into the skin, creating a raw area that is vulnerable to bacteria. These germs move in and set up house, creating an irritating open sore known as a dog hotspot. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal; text-align: center;" align="center"><strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;">How Do I Recognize a Hotspot?</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">            </span>Sometimes dog hotspots can be sneaky little things, hiding under hair so that you don’t even know that they are there. The first step is to monitor your dog’s behavior. Is he itching a particular spot over and over? Also look for licking and even whining, which indicates that the area is painful for your dog. If he exhibits these behaviors, cuddle up to him and explore the itchy area. Pull back the fur so that you can see his skin and look for raw and red areas. If you find a hotspot make sure to trim the fur away from the area gently so that the hotspot can breathe, trapped moisture only promotes bacterial growth.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; line-height: normal;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">            </span>Now you know how to find out if your dog has a hotspot. Don’t worry though, hotspots are easily cured, sometimes even at home.</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve owned many dogs, throughout my life, but have never known exactly how to train them properly.  I based my training on punishment and just couldn&#8217;t figure out why that didn&#8217;t work that well.  But, almost two years ago, I started training my Papillon for agility competition.  She was extremely high-drive and I knew she&#8217;d really love it.  So, I found a good agility training school and off we went.  We&#8217;ve been competing, very successfully, for almost a year now and, looking back, I learned so many important things about dog training!</p>
<p>	First of all, most trainers require that dogs have completed at least a basic obedience class before proceeding to agility training.  This is critical to agility training and, in my opinion, every dog and handler could benefit from a basic obedience class.  I learned that I have a food-motivated dog and that she will work her heart out for highly prized treats, not for punishment!  There are skills you and your dog will learn, through an obedience class, such as recalls, sit/stays, down/stays, and walking nicely on a leash.  Each of these skills is something you will need every time you compete, not to mention day-to-day life with your dog.</p>
<p>	The pace of your training will always be set by your dog.  Each dog learns at a different speed and, what comes easily for one dog, may not come easily for another.  So, be very patient while training your dog any skill.  Make it a game.  Let your dog take as much time as it needs, without getting impatient or frustrated, to figure out what behavior you want from it.</p>
<p>All tasks must be broken down into small pieces, whether the task is a simple sit, the beginnings of obstacle training, or more complex tricks or agility sequences.  If you break the task down to something small, then mark/reward and repeat, several times before making the task larger, you will have success without stressing the dog out.  For example, when training an agility tunnel, you scrunch it up to its smallest form.  Have someone place your dog at the entrance while you sit on the ground at the exit, with a treat, and call your dog.  As soon as the dog comes through that little piece of a tunnel, you mark/reward.  Slowly begin expanding the tunnel using the same technique.  In just a few minutes, you&#8217;ll have your dog going through however long a tunnel you need.</p>
<p>For agility training, once the dog begins obstacle training, there is never a wrong answer.  Dogs get confused, and may shut down, if they start being told they&#8217;re doing the wrong thing, so keep the training light and never scold for doing the incorrect thing.  If the dog doesn&#8217;t do what you want it to, you simply do not mark/reward for that action.  You just ask again and, the minute you get the correct response, mark/reward and make a huge deal of it.  That will make your dog more anxious to give you that same answer again.  As you start competing, you might want to use a particular word to indicate the incorrect response, such as &#8220;uh oh,&#8221; or &#8220;oops,&#8221; but not with a scolding tone.  This will indicate that the dog will be asked to try again but everything is fine between the two of you.</p>
<p>Lastly, always keep the training fun for both you and your dog.  Even when you start competing, or have been competing for a long time, this is critical.  If you start getting caught up in the competition and title-winning, you might forget why you started agility to begin with: because it&#8217;s fun!  When the game stops being fun, your dog won&#8217;t enjoy it anymore and neither will you.  Agility is a wonderful sport and will forever secure the relationship between you and your dog.  Run fast, run clean, and, above all, have fun!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Washing your dog is important, but not as important as some people think. Healthy dogs actually don?t need to be washed all that often, but humans prefer to bathe them so that they have a more pleasing smell and appearance. Doggie bath time is a good time to spend with the dog, however. Although most of them don?t like to be washed, they will appreciate the contact and attention that they receive from their owners during a bath. It is also a good time to perform some other necessary ?dog maintenance? such as cleaning the ears, checking for ticks and fleas, and brushing the teeth. Since many dogs do not like to sit still for any of these activities, it can be a good idea to do them all at once.</p>
<p>Brushing Dogs? Teeth</p>
<p>Brushing your dogs? teeth is just good dental hygiene. Most vets recommend that it be done at least twice a week to ensure your dog maintains healthy teeth and gums. If you?ve not been doing this (and, unfortunately, many people don?t) it?s never too late to start. The dog should have its own toothbrush and special toothpaste designed for dogs. Make sure you brush the back teeth in small circles, the same way you would your own, and brush up and down the length of the ?pointy? canine teeth. Dog toothpaste is made to have a pleasing taste (for the dog, don?t try it yourself) and this should make the dog willing to let you perform this activity.</p>
<p>Checking for Ticks &amp; Fleas</p>
<p>Ticks are nasty little arachnids (they?re eight-legged creatures like spiders, and therefore are not insects) that will latch onto your dog?s skin and make its blood their meal ticket. They are most common in wooded areas, but your dog should be checked for them regularly because they can carry a number of diseases. The best place to look for these bugs in under the collar or on the dog?s underbelly, buried in the fur. If found they can be removed with tweezers.</p>
<p>Fleas can be found in the same places, under the fur. The presence of fleas can be betrayed by the sight of their droppings on the dog?s coat. They look like flecks of pepper. The fleas themselves look like bits of brown rice. They?re about an eighth of an inch long. They can?t simply be picked off of the dog like ticks can, but finding them will let you know its time to start the dog on a program to control and eliminate the insects.</p>
<p>Cleaning the Ears</p>
<p>Pet supply stores sell special solutions for cleansing a dog?s ears. Dogs can easily get ear mites, small insects which live in the ears and feed of the waxy secretions there. Over time the bodies of these short-lived creatures build up and form a black, dirty substance. Using a cotton swab dipped in a bit of this solution, gently clean the inner ear. It may be difficult to hold the dog still for this procedure, but it doesn?t take long. And the result will be clean ears and the avoidance of potential infection and earaches in the dog.</p>
<p>And they suggest teaching your pet to ration his or her food by offering a large bowl of food and allowing him or her to figure out how often the bowl will be replenished.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With so many different kinds of dog shampoos on the market today, it is not easy to decide which one to use.  For most breeds, a basic, all-purpose shampoo is fine.  But if you want your shampoo to do more than clean, you might consider a specialty shampoo.</p>
<p>• Shampoos designed to deliver extra conditioning to long or curly coats can make post-bath grooming even easier.</p>
<p>• Accentuate your dog&#8217;s coat color by choosing a shampoo made for white, black, or red coats.</p>
<p>• For sensitive eyes, consider a tearless shampoo.</p>
<p>• For wire-coated dogs, look for a shampoo designed to preserve the crisp texture of your dog&#8217;s coat.</p>
<p>• Many dogs have sensitive skin or eyes.  A hypoallergenic shampoo can minimize sensitivity reactions to bathing.</p>
<p>• If your dog already has a rash, allergies, itching, or other sensitive skin conditions, look for a medicated shampoo designed to treat your dog&#8217;s problem. Your vet should be able to recommend a good medicated shampoo for your dog.</p>
<p>• For flea season, consider a shampoo containing a gentle anti-flea ingredient such as pyrethrin or limonene, or any of several natural botanicals designed to repel fleas, such as neem oil.</p>
<p>You may also consider specialty scented shampoos like the <a title="Scented Dog Shampoo" href="http://www.pampered-dog-gifts.com/site/655125/product/PE-TropicalShampoo" target="_self">tropical scented dog shampoos</a> (scents such as kiwi &amp; lemon, lime &amp; mandarin etc.) available at Pampered-Dog-Gifts.com .  Check out all our <a title="dog bath products" href="http://www.pampered-dog-gifts.com/page/362837" target="_self">dog bath products</a> for your pampered pooch.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You don&#8217;t think you owe your dog anything, do you? Well, if you don&#8217;t then you are dead wrong! Having a dog  necessitate a great deal of duties that you cannot fail to  dismiss. The consequences of shelving your duties to your dog can be dire because they eventually tell on you as well as your dog.</p>
<p>Some people think that the only thing they have to do after they get a dog is feed and bath it; it&#8217;s appalling that they think that way but the fact of the matter is that such  folks are  unwitting about what  responsibilities they owe their dog. If you just got a new dog, good for you!  Still, with a dog come great  responsibilities  such as:</p>
<p>- Food: Just as the diet of a human being contributes to his mental and physical balance, the diet of a dog can determine the overall health of your dog. You can&#8217;t feed your dog just anything. You need to feed it exactly what it needs to develop properly. There are  innumerable pet stores where you can ask after the best  form of dog food for your dog.  Along with, you need to know that dog food is quite  expensive. If you aren&#8217;t financially ready for a dog, don&#8217;t even think about getting one because you&#8217;ll simply be setting yourself up for a heavy fall.</p>
<p>- Medicine: Your dog needs to be healthy to give you its best. You have to take your dog to the vet doctor for vaccinations against  various  ailments that they are prone to. Without vaccinations, your dog&#8217;s immune system will constantly weaken and may eventually shut down causing its death. You owe your dog regular check ups to the vet.</p>
<p>- Shelter: Your dog deserves to be in a clean healthy place. Whether your dog is staying in your house or in a kennel, you need to be sure that it is well sheltered. </p>
<p>- Training: Last but certainly not the least, your dog needs to be trained. If you don&#8217;t train your dog, you will be doing it more harm than good. You should endeavor to bring out the best of your dog through effective dog training.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some  individual&#8217;s notion of training their dog is similar to dropping an errant child in a finishing school and picking him or her back up again after the school has bombarded the child with disciplinary courses. Dog training is far from this.  In reality, dog training is a process that  want your active participation. </p>
<p>Even if a professional dog trainer will be handling your dog in the initial stages of the training session, you will  sooner or later have to join in. You may not understand the reason why you need to be there while your dog is getting trained but by the time you are through with this  document, you will be more than eager to lend a hand to your dog&#8217;s training.</p>
<p>- Knowledge: If you are absent during your dog&#8217;s training session, you will be unable to  obtain knowledge about your dog and how it behaves. Understanding your dog is the key to training it successfully. At a dog training school, you will learn why your dog acts the way it does and how to anticipate its every need. So, even when the professional dog trainer turns the dog over to you, you will not be totally in the dark about how to understand your dog&#8217;s language and respond to it.</p>
<p>- Skills: Ultimately, dog training is a life long process that is sustained through continued practice. When you actively involve yourself in your dog&#8217;s training session, you learn how to command it and what command to use in different situations. You are the person your dog will relate with after training. A dog trainer will need you to be there so that your dog gets used to the tone of your voice enough to respond to it when you issue out a command. If you don&#8217;t engage in the training of your dog, you may have a confused dog on your hands that only knows how to respond to the professional dog trainer&#8217;s voice.</p>
<p>- Training tools: Dog training is a process that is made easier with the right training tools. At a dog training school, you will learn which training tools are best suited to your dog and how to use them. This knowledge can  ensure that you have a docile willing dog on your hands.</p>
<p>The essence of your presence and participation at your dogs training is for your dog to acclimatize itself to you and your needs and vice versa.</p>
