5 Steps to Calm an Over Excited Puppy

Puppies are little wobbly balls of energy that explode with excitement the moment they encounter something or someone new. This bounding energy and happy licking may be adorable in a tiny 3 kg puppy, but it's less appealing in a much heavier and stronger adult. As cute as it may be, this hyper, excitable behaviour in puppies can lead to uncontrolled bad behaviour as they grow. As hard as it is to resist a happy puppy, training should start as soon as possible to help reinforce proper behaviour and stop unwanted behaviour before it becomes habit.

How to Read a Dog's Body Language - Six Steps to Look For

It would be great if dogs could speak -- in a human language, that is. They already do communicate with their noises and body language. We can tell what food they like, who their favourite person is or which cat they would love to chase. An important sign to discern from your dog's actions is aggression. You can protect yourself and your dog by reading the language that illustrates when your dog is threatened and about to pounce.

Dog Insurance from 55 cents a day from RSPCA

Your dog depends on you for everything – food, shelter, exercise, love – and of course, health care. But when your best friend needs treatment, even a small problem can lead to some very big vet bills.

Dog Quote from Christopher Hitchens

“Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion thatthey are gods.”
