  • Barking in Dogs

    Una de las quejas más frecuentes de los propietarios y de los vecinos es que el perro ladra demasiado. No obstante, ladrar es natural en el perro y sirve como señal de alarma y de advertencia. Algunos animales también pueden ladrar cuando se separan del grupo o de la familia, así como en momentos de indecisión, ansiedad o frustración.

  • Controlling Pulling on Walks

    Hay perros que tiran demasiado de la correa porque son especialmente juguetones, les gusta explorar e investigar el entorno y se sienten atraídos por muchos estímulos (niños, otros perros, etc.).

  • This is no lazy old hound dog. The Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen attracts attention wherever she goes because of her merry, energetic disposition. She's always on the lookout for fun and excitement, especially in the form of an outdoor adventure.

  • The elegant, classy Pharaoh Hound is a striking companion. His handsome good looks always draw attention.

  • The domestic pigeon includes over 300 breeds, all descending from the rock dove. They originated in Eurasia, but are now found all over the world. They come in many color combinations and their plumage can include anything from feathered feet to crested, maned, or hooded heads. They are generally hardy birds that are easy to tame and care for. As with any pet, pigeons require regular, routine veterinary health checkups.

  • Some cats do not seem to know their strength and do not recognize that they are causing pain to their play partners. Accidental bites and scratches can be painful and cause infection, so it is important to find ways to play safely. With training, you may be able to use a verbal cue to redirect your cat if he becomes overly aroused during play.

  • Mouthing, nipping, and biting are used by all puppies during social play with their littermates. Once they leave their littermates, you can easily teach them a new set of games that are appropriate for social play with people. It is important to provide puppies with outlets for appropriate play from the start. Puppies should never be punished for playing with their teeth, as it can cause them to become permanently fearful of people.

  • Plotts love hunting and family, arguably in that order. They love to follow a trail to its end, but at the end of the hunt, they are glad to celebrate with their favorite people.

  • Pointers are warm, loving dogs capable of giving members of their family great affection. They are usually overflowing with nervous energy and ready to hunt at the drop of a leash.

  • The shaggy Polish Lowland Sheepdog may look like an overgrown stuffed animal, but he is a serious worker who needs a job to be fulfilled. Active people who can include a dog in their everyday adventures find the PON - that is short for Polski Owczarek Nizinny, the name of the breed throughout most of the world - is an energetic and fun-loving companion.
