Too many dog owners find themselves having problems with their dogs simply because their dogs do not have their own space to call home. Modern dogs are descended from wolves, and in the wild, wolves always have a den that they are able to call home. This provides them with a sense of security, having a space that they can retreat to when they are threatened or when they simply need a safe place to rest. This need for a safe home is deeply imprinted on the instincts of both wolves and dogs.

Many dog owners assume that it is enough to give their dogs the run of the house, and that they will eventually find a corner of the house to call their own. This tends to be insufficient for most dogs, however, as their instincts call for a place that is cozy and therefore hard for predators to enter, affording much more protection. Many dogs need small spaces just large enough for them to fit into. This is where dog crates or dog cages come in.

Dog crates and dog cages are designed specially to accommodate your dog comfortably, and you will find them available in a variety of sizes. Dog crates and dog cages are mostly rectangular in shape, with one or two doors that can be kept open to allow your dog free entry and exit. Having a variety of sizes is important so that you are able to find one that is just large enough for your dog to fit into and to turn around in.

For dog owners whose dogs are currently puppies, there are also dog cages and dog crates available that include interior partitions. This allows you to make the space inside smaller to accommodate your puppy, and then enlarge the space as your puppy grows to its full size.

Another advantage of dog crates and dog cages is that dogs are relatively neat when it comes to their homes, and they will not urinate or defecate within. Instead, dogs invariably move outside of their dog crates or dog cages in order to urinate or defecate. While your dog is a puppy, you can toilet-train it simply by paying attention to the time when it needs to go. When you see that your puppy needs to go, simply remove the entire dog crate or dog cage to the designated waste area. Soon, your puppy will get the idea that it is supposed to proceed to that area whenever it needs to go.

Dog crates and dog cages are extremely useful tools for dog owners, and if you own a dog, you should definitely own a crate or cage as well. Dog cages and dog crates also make excellent enclosures for your beloved pets whenever you are traveling and need to bring them along.

Imbued in English culture is a love animals of all kinds. I have a website of fine art prints of various Dog Breeds bred over the centuries and shown at various British dog shows and culminating in Crufts”. At my website I have various Dog Breeds on fine art prints by various artists from the 1700’s.   Please Click here to visit my website.

As so many Famous events happened in England and the rest of the British Isles over the centuries, I thought it would be a good idea to tell the various stories in my various articles of the many English and British Icons from the Anglo Saxon times to the present day’s current history.

The Chinese call Britain The Island of Hero’s which I think sums up what we British are all about.

If you are a nature lover but yet find yourself living in a small space, you may think that you have to settle for the sounds of the birds and the wind that gently seep through your open window. However if you like you can add other elements to your life that will let you feel closer to nature. Now you can do this by adding a bird bath to your garden. Since a bird bath is something that offers soothing effects when one sits near it watching all of the birds enjoy a soak in the sun, you will want to ensure the bird bath you select matches the d

Leopard geckos are lucky in that there are relatively few health issues which tend to affect them. However, tail loss is one of these issues. Dropping their tail is a defense mechanism which enables leopard geckos to escape from predators, though it can cause some problems.

A gecko will grow a new tail if they lose theirs, though the tail which they grow back won’t usually look much like the tail they have lost; it tends to be a different shape and is often white rather than its original color. Of course, a gecko doesn’t worry too much about its looks, though you might prefer the way your pet looks with their original tail!

However, the way your pet leopard gecko’s new tail looks isn’t the real problem. The problem is that losing their tail can make your pet less healthy – a gecko which has lost their tail will be stressed and weakened and more susceptible to disease.

If your pet should lose their tail, they’ll need special care to keep them in good health and prevent infection from setting in as their tail grows back. You may want to keep the injured gecko in a different tank (if you currently house your leopard gecko with others). Make sure that the tank is kept very warm; in fact, any time your gecko is sick you should increase the temperature of their tank. They should have plenty of fresh water and food available while they heal as well.

Shedding is another thing which can pose a health hazard to your leopard gecko. Some of these animals have difficulty shedding for a variety of reasons. It may be too cool inside the tank, the humidity level may be too low, they may have a vitamin deficiency (usually it’s more vitamin A that they need) or even be infested with parasites. This is rare, but a leopard gecko with parasites won’t shed. You can check for parasites by looking carefully at their skin, especially between their toes.

If your leopard gecko is unable to shed for too long they can become sick. Rather than letting things get to this point, make sure to properly care for your pet to prevent these problems from occurring in the first place.

The first time your dog receives a correction from the bark control collar he may react in a way that concerns you. He may yelp or yip or jump slightly. Do not be alarmed by these reactions. His first reaction to the correction will always be his most intense.

After the first few corrections his reaction will lessen. He will eventually just stop barking and remain calm. It is advised that you observe your dog’s reactions to the correction.

You should notice an improvement in your dog’s barking within the first week of training. At this point many dog owners feel that the “problem has been solved”. In some cases this may be true, but in most cases the training is still not complete.

Most, if not every dog, will “test” this new learning experience, i.e., they will increase their attempts to get away with barking. This testing period usually occurs during the second week of training. When it does occur you must remain consistent – do not alter your use of the bark control collar.

Once your dog is trained, you must continue to place the dog bark control collar on him in every situation in which he must be quiet. He may see a new dog or a squirrel through a window for the first time and he may bark. If he is not wearing the bark collar he may get away with barking and his training may suffer a setback. If he is wearing the bark collar, he will stop barking immediately and any setback will be prevented.

Moreover, you may have a need to train your dog to do other things. If you decide to use another type of training tool, be selective with the type you use while your dog is wearing the bark control collar. Generally, it is best not to let your dog wear more than one collar at a time.

Never use a metal choker collar while your dog is wearing the anti bark collar as it may trigger false signals and possibly false corrections. If you must have a second collar on your dog consider the use of a nylon choker collar or other nonmetallic collar.

If you use a leash, attach it to a collar other than the one used for the bark control collar. You should never attach a leash to the collar and you should never pull the bark control collar while it is on your dog. Doing so you may cause injury to his throat.
