***Loving our pets, as they love us

Sharing our lives, opening our hearts to pure unconditional love. They are the best friends that we can ever have. They won't let us down, they are always happy to see us, they don't judge us in any form, they don't look at us with utter disdain if we put on weight. They trust us implicitly, with a wag of a tail or the twitch of a whisker telling us that they intuitively know how we feel. The look in their eyes says it all – I love you.

Help! My Puppy Won’t Stop Biting Me And It’s Starting To Hurt!

Dogs are not born with soft mouths, but they can learn to bite softly if taught properly, which means plenty of information and communication from you and from other dogs.

Teach Your Dog To Sit, Down or Stand When You Are Twenty Feet Away

Do you want to teach your Dog to ‘Sit’/’Stand’/’Down’ when you are 20 feet or further away from your dog?

Owning a Dog can Help You Live a Happier Life

Dog owners know all too well that coming home to their wagging tailed dog is the greatest feeling in the world. When you walk into the home, you truly light up your dogs life. They love you unconditionally and probably see you at your very worst, but they don't care, they adore you regardless of what you are wearing, what you look like, or how sick you are. It has actually been proven that petting a dog lowers blood pressure, which is why many dogs are working dogs, or those that go into hospitals and nursing homes, because they can cheer up a patient more than a person can.

***Animal Lovers in Business - What’s working now?

What is working now for animal lovers that chose to be in a pet-related business? In the past, pet businesses were primarily brick and mortar. The family-owned pet store is harder to find, perhaps because the distribution of pet products to the consumer is changing also. In some cases, manufacturers have bypassed the costly middleman serving regional territories. Megastores have capitalized on people’s love for their pets and have a greater profit margin since they can buy in larger quantities at lower prices than the smaller stores.
