Recent Pet News, Tips & Info...The Aryan MolossusOnce a Warrior, Today a Loyal Companion and a Family-Protector Should you ever decide that you need a big dog, with an imposing posture, which can look threatening and majestic at the same time, the Aryan Molossus is definitely one breed that you must take into consideration. The Armant The Egyptian Dog with a Lot of Love to Give To some of you, the Armant is better known as the “Egyptian Sheepdog” and, just as the name suggests it, it was bred to be a herding dog. However, in ancient times, it was used mostly as a guard dog. This breed is originally from Egypt and named after the town of Armant. Its loyalty and agility are the two main characteristics which make this dog special. The Atlas Terrier The Small Dog With a Massive Dose of Energy At a glimpse, the Atlas Terrier can be easily mistaken with the Jack Russell Terrier. However, there are some differences that may help you tell these two cousins apart. Before deciding to buy or adopt a dog of this breed, there are some things that you have to take into consideration. Unfortunately, this is quite a rare breed of dogs in our days. Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie It Is Impossible Not to Love Them Anglos-Francaises de Petite Venerie are the smallest dogs in the Anglos-Francais category. However, the name „Petite”, meaning „small”, is not at all referring to the size of the dogs, but to the game they are after. Even if they've been around since the 16th century, today, these dogs are not easy to find. So if you have decided to adopt one, you can be sure that you will have a unique pet. |

Pet Tips
Strategies To Stop Dog BarkingBarking is a normal activity for a dog, much like talking is for us and a little bit here and there is something we all learn to deal with. However a dog barking all day can be annoying even to the most patient dog lover.Below we have listed a few simple ways to help stop excessive barking: * Exercise your dog daily if not more. Tired dogs will spend their time sleeping and resting rather than barking. * Buy your dog some good chew toys. Chewing is a great stress reliever and is an excellent way to occupy your dog’s time. * Try to hide any outdoor noises. This can be as simple as turning on the radio or TV for your dog, weather you are home or away. * Always acknowledge your dog’s barking. Often times your dog is simply trying to alert you to something, and if you acknowledge him, he should stop barking. * Teach your dog the “Quiet” command. If your dog continues barking after you acknowledge him, say “Quiet” sternly without yelling. If he stops barking, praise him. * Create a noise shaker. Put a few pennies in an empty soda can and tape it shut. If your dog does not respond to your quiet command, shake the can. Dogs do not like that sound and will often stop what they are doing when they hear it. * Give him a squirt. Give your dog a stern “Quiet,” and give him a quick squirt with a water bottle, or water gun. Remember to always aim for your dog’s body rather than his face. * Know when to switch strategies. If you do not see any improvement with a particular strategy, its time to switch, so give another one a try. Share this article on Strategies To Stop Dog Barking with friends.
