When dealing with dogs you have to understand dog behavior. I have never met a dog that does not beg for food. Since dogs are pack animals, they feel left out if everyone is eating except for them. That is why they will beg in front of you when you are eating. They also do it because they are eating machines and love food, but they love to eat as a pack. This is to be discouraged even though some dog owners will have their dogs eating human food with them at dinner. Since dogs are not humans it is best that they eat at a separate time and with their own food.

Not to mention that if you have a guest over it is embarrasing to have them beg at their feet when they are eating. To stop this, the best way is to ignore the dog. If they put their muzzle on your lap you say ‘no’ in a stern voice and gently push their head away. When your dog realizes that they are getting no where by begging and stop, you should reward them.

What do you reward a dog that has stopped begging with? You reward them with food of course! Give them a treat, but don’t do it from the dinner table. The same goes with having your dog sleep in the same bed with you. Some owners like this, and others don’t. If you are married and it is causing trouble it is time to get the dog their own space to sleep. A nice dog bed will make them realize that they are still appreciated, and they will enjoy a comfortable bed that is thiers. First and foremost your dog wants to please you and when you draw clear lines between what is acceptable behavior and what is not, you will have a happier dog.

Since it is now spring it is once again time to start planning for fun day trips and outings with the dog. It is also time for those that keep up with the theme of the seasons to look at spring fashion. The fun part is that your dog can now take part in this experience with you. There are so many fun things to look at from the newest collars and color trends to new shirts and accessories. There are many people that love to dress their dogs up in the latest fashions and even according to the seasons colors. That is why at Bling Bling Puppy we specialize in making dogs look and feel great. People love their dogs and love to treat them in a special way and we provide a way for them to do that. It is a lot of fun.

Dogs are a special part of our lives and it is good to do something more than give them that occasional treat. Get them something that truly says that you love them.

In Snoqualmie Pass Washington, Zak the champion show dog is missing. Zak is a silver Poodle. Apparently the dog has been missing since Saturday. Poodles are considered one of the top 5 smartest dogs. Reports say that Zak was with 2 other dogs in a cabin and got outside to play when everyone was gone. The other 2 dogs have been found but not Zak. I can imagine how scared that dog must be right now. Hopefully nobody has stolen this dog. The local news stations have reported this information and hopefully someone will find this beautiful dog and return it to their rightful owners.

Spring is just over a month away and you know what that means. Yes, flea season is coming. No worries though. If you keep up with it you and your pet will be safe. If you are not into conventional flea treatments, try our all natural flea the scene product. It not only repels fleas, but mosquitos and ticks. It also acts as a sunscreen and relieves itchy skin. A good spritzing before your dog goes outdoors is all that they will need.

If you have a dog then you know what it is like to have to keep them at home every time you leave. They always act like you have left them for a week when you get back home. Therefore it is good to take them with you sometimes. If it is for a short ride then it is even easier. Your dog will appreciate the fact that you took them out for a drive. Being cooped up alone all the time is not any fun. You don’t have to take them with you every time you go out, but it is worthwhile to take them sometimes. Perhaps planning a day at the park with the dog would be a good way to spend a fun day with them. Dogs are pack animals and hate to be neglected. Just remember to take the dog with you every once in a while.
