What Is Proper Dog Nutrition?
There is only a limited amount of fat that is used for protection against cold, cushion, covering, and extra energy. But when the maximum amount of stored fat is reached and applied for these purposes, the dog still continues to stock up fat and does so to the same degree that is equivalent to the excess energy that it consumes. For instance, every 3,500 calories that a dog eats in excess to what his body requires will be turned into 1 pound of body fat.

Money Saving Dog Ownership Tips
The credit crunch has the unpleasant effect of causing more dog owners to give up their pets in the face of increasing financial pressures. Here we provide a short set of tips that can help reduce the costs of dog ownership.
Dogs do and always will cost money and yes, they do need a place to sleep, a bed, food and water. But ultimately there are measures owners can take to ensure this period of economic belt tightening does not cost dogs their homes.
Pet insurance, for instance, enables owners to have their veterinary expenses covered in the event of accident or illness. Some pet insurance policies start from as little as £10 per month which is just 32p per day.
Dog food bills can be reduced, dogs do not need to have the most expensive supermarket own brand pet food to be happy and healthy, they can actually be happier and even healthier if owners do a deal with their local butcher to get the day's unsold raw meat at reduced cost.
For those people for whom the real threat of eviction could cause them to make a decision about rehoming some weeks or months down the line, they should plan, plan and plan some more. If there is even the merest hint of losing a home, start talking with prospective landlords who will be happy to allow pets on their property.
Very often a compromise deal can be had, provided it is planned for. For instance, some dog owners offer their landlords what is known as a dog-bond, a simple contract drawn up that tells the landlord that the dog's owner is happy to pay for absolutely any damage or inconvenience caused by their pet. This peace of mind can persuade many landlords to be lenient on their no pets policy.

Life Lessons From Dogs (Ryan O'Meara)
Carnegie's seminal work named the dog as "the greatest winner of friends the world has ever known".
The self-help guru then went on to say:
"Did you ever stop to think that a dog is the only animal that doesn't have to work for a living? A hen has to lay eggs, a cow has to give milk, and a canary has to sing. But a dog makes his living by giving you nothing but love.”
If one of the most illustrious self-help minds of the past century can spot the value of thinking and behaving in line with man's best friend, Ryan O'Meara has taken the concept on to the next level in this book which reveals the hidden secrets behind...
- The dog's unique approach to conflict resolution. (learn to settle disputes favourably and without shedding blood).
- The dog's incredible (world famous) abilities to endear themselves to people and other animals, with a mere wag of a tail. (how to win REAL friends for life).
- How to the dog deploys unique mental techniques to cope with stress, illness and high pressure situations (how to be happier and healthier with positive mental attitude)
- Identifying and understand pack dynamic and prosper (how to get ahead in life, career and become prosperous without hurting people)
- How to survive when the odds are against it. (how to tough out the harshest of times and come out smiling)

Guide to Finding a Dog Trainer
You and your dog may want to attend a couple of lessons at a good training club. You may also want to arm yourself with a good training book.
Sponsored: Professional dog trainer in Durham.
Dog owners need to reinforce their dog's conditioned responses. Certainly the more practice and proofing you do with a dog, the more reliable his response will be. Skilled human beings, from tennis pros to typists, need practice to stay in top form. This is because all learned skills need reinforcement. So before you even hire your dog trainer, you need to be totally committed to the concept that, ultimately, YOU will be responsible for maintaining the dog's good behaviour. When searching for your dog trainer, the best sources tend to be:
- Vets
- Friends and family
- Owners of well behaved dogs!

Learn How to Wash a Dog
Source: http://www.petlibrary.co.uk/1/how-to-wash-a-dog/How Often Should You Give Your Dog A Bath?
In general, how often you bathe your dog will depend on its environment. Is he an inside dog or an outside dog? Does he get dirty eating? Does he have an odor?
A dog's skin and fur vary from breed to breed, just like humans, so if he smells then definitely give the pooch a bath. If he is an outside dog then the weather and parasites will have something to decide in the matter as well (bathing more often).

Golden Rules of Puppy House Training
Golden Rules of Puppy House Training:
- Praise (wildly) when they do ‘go’ outside
- Never scare or startle the puppy if catching them in the act indoors
- Never, ever, under any circumstances rub a dog’s nose in any accidents. THIS DOESN’T WORK and is entirely unhealthy and unpleasant
- Try to spot the tell tail signs when your puppy is telling you they need the toilet. These include circling, sniffing in corners, whining for no apparent reason and any time shortly after eating or drinking.
- Remember, a small puppy’s bladder is physically very small and they actually can’t hold their toilet movements in for long periods at a time.
- It is inevitable that a young puppy WILL have accidents in the home but as they get older and in combination with a well planned house training program, they will get better.
