They
say "we are what we eat," and if that statement
is true for us, it is also true for our pets. We
need to understand the benefits of feeding our pets a natural,
healthy, well-balanced diet. Holistic and
natural foods offer our pets all of the nutritional components
which are necessary for healthy bodies. We need to look
towards the natural needs of our dogs and cats. The secret
of correct feeding is to give our pets a balanced natural
and healthy diet.
Just
remember...A Healthy, Natural Diet will add years to your
pet's life!

The Don'ts Of Training Your Dog
The dogs behavior is truly adapted to the needs of humans. The dog is unquestioning
and reliable in both giving and receving affection. The most important thing
we must remember as the master is to be the one to dominate and not to be dominated.
If your dog is submissive to you he will give respect and affection and will
learn with the proper training to respond to your commands.
.
There are a few guidelines that we must follow to have a healthy relationship
with our dogs.
1. Don't let the dog sit on the furniture or your lap. In doing so we show the
dog that he is the dominant one. The higher he is, the more dominant he thinks
he is.
2. Don't feed your dog scraps of food from the table. Don't give him food that
you have eaten. In the wild, only the subordinate dogs share their food. Feeding
your dog human food also starts the bad habit of begging. There is nothing worse
than eating your meal and having your dog begging beside you.
3. Don't let your dog sleep on the bed with you. If you do, it will think that
it can dominate you. Once again, in the wild only subordinate dogs share their
beds.
4. If you feed your dog at the same time that you eat, make sure you eat first.
This act shows the dog that you are the dominate one in the relationship not
him.
5. Always make your dog move out of the way for you. Never step over the dog
to get where you are going. Make the dog move.
6. Don't allow your dog to barge through a doorway before you. Stop and turn
to your dog and tell him to BACK UP. When he does, open the door and allow him
out.
7. Don't allow your dog to jump up on you. No one likes a dog that is constantly
jumping up scratching your legs. Dogs have a need to get in your face. Lift
your knee so that when he jumps he will come in contact with your knee and not
your chest. Tell him DOWN and continue that until the behavior you are looking
for begins.
8. Don't ever hit your dog. The best way to correct your pet is to catch him
in the act and shake him firmly by the scruff of the neck. Most pups will stop
what they are doing once they are startled. Shaking the scruff of the neck is
what their mothers do to discipline so this is a natural way for you to achieve
your goals.
9. If you come upon an accident that has already occurred, count it your mistake!
Take your pup to his crate so that he does not see you cleaing up the mess
Having a dog as a pet can be a very rewarding experience not only for you but
for your family as well. Having the proper training insures that the dog will
have a lasting place in your family. Think of your dog as a member of a pack.
He must be the subordinate member not you.
