Pick a Fitness Routine for Your Dog

Friday, June 4, 2010 @ 09:06 AM

Fitness Magazine promises you won’t even notice how many calories you’re burning with these four ways to play with your dog.

Walking your dog regularly helps you rack up an average of 103 minutes per week a University of Western Australia study reveals. That’ amounts to about 618 extra calories burned.

Here are some exercises and the breeds that do best with them:

Frisbee: Herding breeds, such as collies, shepherds and sheepdogs are naturals at snachers.

Swimming: Labradors and golden retrievers, with their water-resistant coats, were bred to retrieve game birds for hunters.

Jogging: Medium to large breeds, such as Labradors and Dalmatians, love a good run. How long they last depends upon each dog’s fitness level.

Waling or Biking: Small breeds, such as beagles and high-energy dogs such as Jack Russell terriers are fine for several miles a well as short dogs.

If your dog gets overly excited and starts nuisance barking along the way, be sure to try one of our no-bark collars.

DOGtek Bark Control Collar

Friday, May 21, 2010 @ 01:05 PM

Control your dogs barking with the DOGTEK® Bark Control Collar. Most people can’t hear the annoying tone but your dog will. Soon your dog will know his bark is causing the stimulation and tone.

How it Works:

At the first bark, a series of six beep sounds is emitted. If another bark is detected within 30 seconds, another beep sound of 2 seconds is emitted together with stimulation. Inhibition of any further stimulation is dependant on the absence of any barking within the next 30 seconds. The stimulation function can be inhibited using the stimulation switch, which will cause only the beep sounds to be emitted

Comprehensive Dog Training

Wednesday, May 5, 2010 @ 01:05 PM

One of the basics of dog training is that you should reward your dog every time he does what you ask of him. Positive reinforcement, when repeated over and over again, gives your dog an incentive to keep doing a desired action – sitting, staying, lying down, etc. The easiest reward and perhaps strongest incentive is food. A dog will pretty much do anything for a treat, and the promise of food is attractive enough to keep following commands.

To curb some behavior however, it is necessary to use the stick, not the carrot. For a dog that barks incessantly, for example, there are few ways to use incentives to stop the behavior. In cases like this, it is necessary to employ some sort of punishment, despite how badly you don’t want to reprimand your canine. One of the safest-and most humane-methods to curtail barking is to outfit your dog with a no bark collar.

Moving With Pets? Here’s Some Advice!

Wednesday, April 7, 2010 @ 01:04 PM

Pets thrive on routine. How to maintain a routine after a move is the key to a successful transition for your pet.

1. Visit your current veterinarian. If you are moving out of the area, be sure to request your pet’s medical file  so that your new vet will know of any conditions your pet has been treated for and when they’ll be due for their next vaccinations. last until you visit your new vet.You might want to consider microchipping your pet. A microchip is a small transponder that is implanted just under the pet’s skin. The Humane Society says, “Microchips provide an extra level of protection in case your pet loses his collar and tags.”  

2. When you are beginning the actual process of moving boxes and transferring your belongings to your new residence, consider first preparing a pet friendly area in your current home, and then in your new home, that will be out of the way of the movers. Fill the room with the pet’s favorite toys and bedding, as well as their food, water, and if applicable, litter box.

3. If you are going to be living in a neighborhood with lots of dogs, especally ones next door, you might want to be prepared by purchasing a no-bark collar to nip any problems in the bud.

3. Once you have moved in, the best thing you can do is maintain your routine -  walking your pet, feeding times, etc.
