There comes a time when your dog will no longer be as young as they used to be and more care and attention might be needed. Everyone and every living thing gets old at some point and there’s nothing anyone can do.
There are however, things that can help dramatically in keeping your dog young and healthy and to set them up for a much better and happier aging. Don’t wait till your dog is old before thinking of the care he will need, you need to constantly look after your dog’s health to stop any unnecessary suffering later on.
The main things that affect your dog’s later life are the diet he/she is on and the exercise they get, along with other less important needs such as grooming and others, feeding and exercise are the main factors in determining your dog’s health later in life.
So what can happen to your dog in later life I hear you ask? Well there are plenty of illnesses and situations that may occur with age because of things not working as well as they used to much the same as human illnesses. Middle age for a dog is around the seven years mark although it depends on dog size and this is when the dog’s body will gradually start to deteriate.
One of the most common of old age symptoms for dogs is hearing and sight deteriation, this can cause the dog to be much more frightened and feeling more vulnerable than they used to. Old Dog personalities may begin to change in affect to this making some more friendly and other more grumpy and snappy. Other old age side effects include putting on weight, weaker muscles and bones, memory loss and being less able to fight off infections and diseases.
Weight gain is a big issue in old dogs and needs to be monitored and acted upon often to make sure your dog doesn’t get unwanted problems through obesity.
In general, if you pet is getting old and you can see he/she is feeling the pain, then take them to the local vet to get advice on any questions you have and have them checked over by an expert.

There are many lessons for a new puppy to learn and understand in the house. While these are important for every puppy, most owners will include potty training as one of the most essential lesson for all dogs. Potty trained dogs will relief owners on the problems to clear up his mess in the house which can be unbearable.
There are numerous ways to potty train your puppy, depending on your circumstances and dog type. Puppies that did not go through any vaccination yet are recommended to stay indoor to learn potty paper training, it is also suitable for apartment living dogs.
Crate training will train your puppy to control his bladder and relieve outside by making use of a dog's instinctive nature of not dirtying its sleeping area. This training is suitable for dogs living in apartment.
The common choice would be to train your dog to go outside to the back yard or the garden to relieve.
A suitable time to start potty training as recommended by most experts is when your puppy is eight to twelve weeks old. Can you remember about the adage on old dogs that learn new tricks? It is not completely true but right in some ways because it is much easier to train a younger dogs when undesirable habits are not formed. So, don't take any chances.
There are many ways and things you can do to achieve the right results. Of them, there are hard ways and easy ways, right ways and wrong ways. The best course of action is to use the easiest and fastest way to get the right results. Much effort, time and positive reinforcement is needed. Let's see what are the things you can do to train your dog fast and effectively.
To begin, you should allocate an area for your puppy to eliminate outside or inside the house, you should show him the way to this spot and praise him generously after he finishes
If you praise and reward him immediately after he finishes his job, it encourages him to eliminate in that area alone. The urine odor will be detectable by your puppy and he will learn to associate it as the place to relieve himself.
To help the puppy to remember, always use the same door and spot where you want your puppy to eliminate. Use soiled newspaper to mark the area and hint your puppy on where is the right spot.
The next part is to start an elimination routine and make your puppy familiar with it. Dogs are habitual animals, they are born instinctively to keep to routines. When your puppy is six to eight weeks old, you should bring him out to relieve after every few hours. The frequency will reduce as he grows older and can control his bladder better. During puppyhood, take him to the allocated elimination area at the following times of the day - Upon waking in the morning, after naps, meals, play, training session and just before bedtime.
Taking your pup out at around the same time every day will be very beneficial for the both of you. This is vastly useful in setting up a routine for your puppy and will help him to learn and control his bladder until you take him out.
Now, you need to pick up signs your puppy displays when he needs to relieve. This is important especially when he is used to running around freely. Be attentive and observe your behavior when he needs to relieve himself, such as sniffing heavily, circling around, and staring at the door intensively to get out.
You can train your dog with two more commands to help him understand potty training faster. Use "Hurry up", or "Potty now", command to associate it with potty time. So, say "hurry up" or "potty" in an encouraging tone just when he gets the urge to "go". He will soon learn that when you say the command, he will begin to sniff, circle and then get down to business. Once he's done, praise him lavishly.
It is common for puppies to make mistakes during the process of potty training. In part 2 of this article, you will learn how to excuse his mistakes and more tips to help you train your puppy in double quick time.

The Holiday season is in full swing with decorations, planning upcoming events, and designing the family meal. As we begin to setup our homes with holiday plants such as poinsettias, holly, and mistletoe, we must remember that these as well as others are toxic to our pets. Dogs and especially cats like to chew on houseplants most of which are poisonous.
Keep an eye out for any electrical wires and batteries that might be within reach of your pet. Chewing and biting on cords will cause shock and larger dogs can easily swallow small batteries. Candles can give your home a fresh scent while adding ambiance, but left unattended on a low coffee table and a swinging tail will send them flying, possibly burning your pet or causing a fire.
Christmas trees too can be hazardous if your dog drinks the water. Tree water is often filled with preservatives that are poisonous while standing water will harbor bacteria that can cause digestive irritability and vomiting. Be sure to sweep or vacuum up any fallen needles as they can puncture your dog’s digestive tract if swallowed.
While it is very tempting for holiday guests, to give a little sample to your dog during the festivities it can result in disaster if over done. Set some ground rules or better yet during mealtime put your dog in his or her crate. Most holiday meals contain higher levels of fat, fresh herbs, and can be spicy all of which are not healthy for your dog; sweets especially chocolate can be deadly and should be avoided all together.
Many dogs suffer from anxiety and with all of the excitement of the holidays, the noise and crowds, can be a trigger. There are some holistic remedies available like HomeoPet® Anxiety that can help keep your dog calm. It is best not to allow your dog to greet strangers at the door but rather keep your dog in their crate or in a quiet room until things settle down before introducing your dog.
Lastly, never give a puppy as a gift for the holidays. While the look on a puppies face can be irresistible, your intentions noble, the responsibility of dog and pet ownership is a big one and not for everyone. If you know one of your friends or family members is serious about getting a dog, consider giving a dog leash or dog toy, better still a gift card from your favorite pet supply website. Following these hints will keep your dog and pet safe & happy during the holiday season.

Dogs are inherently aggressive creatures and are physically capable of inflicting serious harm both to humans and dogs alike. Being aggressive is understandably natural for a wild dog to hunt, to defend themselves from other creatures, and to defend resources such as food, a place to sleep, and a mate. Over the years dogs have became more tamed and man's best friend. There are dogs however, that continually become aggressive and dangerous due to lack of behavior training. Let's stop dog aggression towards other dogs and humans alike.
The two most common type of dog aggressiveness are aggression towards strangers and aggression towards family members. They become aggressive because of fear; being scared, nervous and insecure where they usually will snap, bite, and bark. Also, they are possessive or protective of the property that they feel belong to them. It can be your family, or your home, his food or toy. This type of aggression usually prevents your home from being robed.
Some dogs are aggressive because they have a dominant personality. This type of dog feels like he is the dominant animal in the area. This is not common to dogs, but studies suggest that this type of aggressive dog behavior applies only to the certain breed of dogs.
Dog owners have many resources and help to control their dog aggression problem. Below are 6 keys you the dog owner can do to stop dog aggression:
#1. First and foremost owner of an aggressive dog must do is to check with their veterinarian to rule out any medical causes for the aggressive behavior of their dog.
#2. Seek for help from a professional dog trainer. An aggression problem will not go away by itself. Working with aggression problems requires in-home help from an animal behavior specialist.
#3. Make everyone's safety as your first priority. Supervise and confine your dog's activities until you can obtain professional help. You're liable for your dog's behavior. If you must take your dog out in public, consider a cage-type muzzle as a temporary precaution.
#4. Avoid exposing your dog to situations where he is more likely to show aggression. You may need to keep him confined to a safe room and limit his people-contact.
#5. If your dog is possessive of food, treats or a certain place, don't allow him access to those items. In an emergency, bribe him with something better than what he has. For example, if he steals your shoe, trade him the shoe for a piece of chicken.
#6. Spay or neuter your dog. Intact dogs are more likely to display dominance, territorial and protective aggressive behavior.
Dogs are inherently aggressive and dangerous both to dogs and humans. If problems continues a dog owner has several resources or things they can do to correct the behavior. Most aggressive dog behavior can be controlled. All that you need to do is to find the right program out there that will teach you how to change your dogs' mindset. It is best to have the professionals take care of this problem. Also safety is paramount; take necessary precautions!

When your child sees a strange dog, make sure you teach them to ask the owner if you can say "hello" to their dog first. They will let you know immediately if their dog is aggressive and can therefore prevent any kind of an incident from happening.
Pet the Dog "Underhand"
When your child greets a new dog it's a good idea to start out by petting them "underhand" - making hand contact under the dog's jaw. This will allow the dog to see what your hand is doing at every point and will show them that you are non-threatening to them.
Pat Gently - or Scratch
There are many dogs that just don't like being patted on the head so if you do, make sure it's very gentle. But a better idea would be to scratch them gently on the chest right between the front legs or have their back scratched right above the root of the dog's tail which dogs absolutely love!. (make sure not to touch the tail)
Do Not Touch a Dogs Tail or Paws
For some reason children love to grab a dogs tail. They're easy to reach and to pull which also get a fast reaction from the dog. Dogs can't see what's behind them and if something pulls their tail they will respond very quickly and you may get bit. Paws are delicate so please don't touch them. Back in their pack-hunting days, a dogs paws were their main means of survival. Naturally they're protective of them.
Do Not Push a Jumping or Playful Dog
First of all, when you push or pull on a dog, they will automatically respond to an equal and opposite force. This means they will definitely push and pull back. To stop a dog from jumping, a child needs to stay calm so they don't encourage the dog's behavior. Dogs love the high-pitched squealing and giggling. You need to work with your whole family on having commands such as a low-pitched "down" followed by physically separating child from dog.
Do Not Play Tug of War or Contest Games
Your child needs to understand that there are certain games that actually encourage a dog's aggression because it triggers their "prey instincts". One game in particular is "tug of war". This game will give your dog a chance to show it's strength and dominance by way of a contest. It may look cute when puppies thrash a stuffed toy, jerking their head from side to side, but this is a carry-over from when wolves had to snap the spine of their protesting prey. It's not the state of mind you want to promote.
If You See A Dog Tied Up - Keep Away
No matter how friendly a dog may look when you see them tied up, never approach or pet them. They can easily feel like they are being cornered by an approaching child and will act defensively. Dogs also feel challenged by a head-on approach and by direct eye contact. This kind of confrontation invites trouble and is best avoided.
Please, No "Attack" Commands or Threats
Your child should never have the words "Sic Him" in their vocabulary. They might think it's all fun and games but dogs can't tell the difference. Also, children must not be allowed to rush towards or corner a dog because this behavior can cause very dangerous reactions.
No Reprimands
If you want to avoid confusing your dog, especially a puppy, its best that children don't do the 'telling off'. You, the owner, or a professional trainer should be the only ones to do that. A child may know the right words but your (or the professional trainer) body language will be more consistent and will be more effective.
Start With A Few Simple Rules
Teach your children the basic training as explained above. Kids love to teach other kids what they know. You'll find that if you start them with these few simple rules, the knowledge will spread and lead to a safer relationship between kids and canines.
