			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Safeguard Your Pet</strong></p>
<p>According to the RSPCA, in 2008 there was a 57% increase in the number of animals abandoned by their owners in the UK. A similar problem is also occurring across the pond in the United States, where the Humane Society of the United States claims that up to eight-million animals enter animal shelters each year; a clear indication that this is an international problem.<br />
It’s hard to ignore the link to the credit crunch, which has likely affected pet owner’s abilities to meet the food and vet bills needed for their pets. Sheila Stewart, of Capricom Animal Rescue centre in Mold, United Kingdom, said that she believes that this can be overcome by the animal’s owners taking out <a href="http://www.moneysupermarket.com/pet-insurance/ ">pet insurance</a>. According to Sheila, the rescue centre have received a number of animals who have arrived at the centre in poor health, often as a result of owners not being able to foot the often extortionate expense of veterinary bills.  This is why she offers the following advice:</p>
<p>“We advise everyone who takes an animal from us to take out pet insurance…if you are covered by insurance it is the unexpected that you are covered for.”<br />
<strong><br />
A brief history of Pet Insurance</strong></p>
<p>Pet Insurance first arrived in Great Britain in 1947. Catching on quickly; today over 19% of all pets in Great Britain are covered. The trend grew and soon pet insurance caught on in the United States. The first pet to be insured was the television canine- Lassie (and her counterparts).</p>
<p><strong>Can I afford pet insurance?</strong></p>
<p>As noted by Sheila, if you own a pet, you really can’t afford not to take out a pet insurance policy. The price of the policy will vary depending on a number of factors, such as:<br />
•    Your pets age-the older the animal the more you tend to pay<br />
•    The breed of the animal-with pure bred animals more expensive than mongrels and moggies<br />
•    The location of your home<br />
A price comparison on money supermarket for <a href="http://www.moneysupermarket.com/c/pet-insurance/dog-insurance/">dog insurance</a> showed that it can cost as little as $14.31 per year to insure a nine year old crossbreed with an excess of $117. This would cover vet bills of up to $6,220 and therefore isn’t to be scoffed at.<br />
<strong>What should I look out for in a policy?</strong></p>
<p>Every provider is different and provides a different level of cover, so it is always important to examine the details of the policy before agreeing to it. Things to look out for include:<br />
•    What vet treatments are covered-this is the most common reason for a pet insurance claim, and therefore there are many loopholes to look out for. Make sure you know how treatments are covered in the agreement; some insurance companies will agree to cover you for up to $6.220 but will refuse to pay up if the treatment received is not included in the agreement. Common exemptions include annual vaccinations.<br />
•    The excess-as with most insurance policies, the higher the excess the less the policy is likely to cost annually. Most excesses tend to be $60-$70, but some insurers will double this cost should the claim exceed an amount stated in the contract. Look out for this!<br />
•    Third party cover-Some pet insurers may not offer third party cover. This would mean that if your pet were to cause damage to someone else’s property, the insurance policy would not cover claims made against you. Most pet insurance policies will cover this, but make sure before agreeing to it.<br />
•    Dental cover-some insurers will cover your pet’s dental fees but not many, which are surprising given research by Sainsbury’s bank, showed that pet dental treatments were costing British pet owners up to $44.4 million per year.  If this is important to you then make sure you pick an insurer who covers it.<br />
•    Payment options-there are three payment options; lunar (payment every 28 days which means 13 payments), calendar payments (twelve payments of equal amount throughout the year) or annual (one off payment). Lunar and calendar payments often result in interest being charged, so if you can always try to pay up front.<br />
<strong></strong></p>
<p><strong>The importance of pet insurance</strong></p>
<p>Research suggests that you are more likely to make a claim on your pet insurance than on either car or home insurance. With studies suggesting that more than 140,000 dogs under three years of age suffer dermatitis alone each year, it is not difficult to see why. When it comes to cats, many Pet Insurance Companies offer more than one package to consider. Some policies are all-inclusive while others contain selective packets based on the age of the cat and current health status. Several companies stand in the forefront of helping with escalating vet expenses in the United States. However, just like any other insurance company, you need to read your plan carefully, including the fine print before signing on the dotted line. Some policies will be all-inclusive while others selectively pay only for illnesses accidents or injuries. There are policies that have pre-set annual or incidence levels while others ask for a deductible (some reasonable, others a bit hefty).<br />
•    VPI Pet Insurance-one of the oldest and largest pet insurance companies in the United States. They offer several policies. Their newest policy for cat lovers Feline Elite which covers 50 of the most common cat health issues is expected to appeal to most cat owners.<br />
•    Trupanion Insurance-no pay-out limit for injuries and accidents. They cover 90% of the bill. They do not cover routine vet care. Quotes vary according to your situation but can start lower than $20.00 per month with a $500.00 deductible.<br />
•    PurinaCare Pet Insurance-covers accidents, illnesses and routine vet care. Carries an annual deductible based on location and how many cats you own. Does not cover pre-existing conditions.<br />
•    Pet Assure-covers all pets including pre-existing conditions. Helps also with general care of the cat including food and grooming needs. $99.00 for one pet, $149.00 for up to four pets. No deductibles benefit caps or limits. 25% discount on vet bills, up to 30% discount on pet food. Limited to their list of participating vets, pet food suppliers and groomers.</p>
<p>According to Darrin Shannon representative of VPI insurance, only 50% of practicing vets in the United States are aware that Pet Insurance actually exists. On their policy, you pay the vet bill up front and they reimburse you once the claim is sent in.</p>
<p>It has been predicted by 2012, the market for pet insurance will reach 1.2 billion dollars in the United States. With increasing vet costs, challenging diseases and advancement in veterinary medicine many dog owners will look into how to meet the financial demands of providing excellent care to their dogs. In a shaky economy, a pet insurance policy may well prevent not only the euthanasia of your dog, but also of your wallet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Do you need <a href='http://betterdog.com/dog-training/north-carolina/raleigh/index.html' target='_blank'>Raleigh dog training</a>?  Live in the Raleigh area and having troubles with your pup?  Tired of using the excuse &#8216;Oh he/she is just a puppy&#8217;?  You don&#8217;t have to suffer with problems that often get worse instead of better with age. So what Raleigh dog training options are available to you?  You could certainly try one of the various group class training companies around. </p>
<p> They can sometimes help with leash based techniques, and socializing your dog with other people, dogs, and locations.  These are all very good things to have, but aren&#8217;t as serious as the things your dog does daily in your home.  Behaviors such as housebreaking, jumping, playbiting, chewing, digging, running away, stealing food, mounting and many others simply aren&#8217;t covered in a group environment.  There is also the lack of one on one attention in a group setting.  Another option would be to send your dog to one of the &#8216;board and train&#8217; facilities.</p>
<p>  These definitely take most of the work off of your hands, but often do not leave you with the proficiency in enforcing the commands and training that the trainer did.  This inevitably leads to your dog realizing your not really the leader, and does what he/she wants to.  Sure there are also books and videos out there that can help out, but its hard to learn without someone giving you feedback.  Books and dvds can NEVER give feedback to you.  The best raleigh dog training service available would be an in-home dog training company.  A company like <a href='http://betterdog.com/dog-training/north-carolina/cary/index.html' target='_blank'>Dog Training In Your Home</a> can help solve your puppy or dog&#8217;s problems behaviors and can help to teach you whatever you need to get your dog to where you want them to be.  Whether that is limited to stopping playbiting and peeing and pooping in the house, or if it extends to having some basic or even advanced obedience. </p>
<p> Maybe you think it would be cool to have your dog get your guest a soda or beer out of the fridge?  Or do you want your dog to help defend and protect your family in case of emergency?  Whatever you want, Dog Training In Your Home is the best Raleigh dog training choice you have!  Please feel free to call us at (919)872-2221 to setup a free in-home evaluation to come out and train your dog and teach you and your family.  We employ a multi-method training approach that focuses on your dog and your goals.  We do not believe in a &#8216;one size fits all&#8217; approach to training dogs.  </p>
<p>Instead, we custom fit our training styles and techniques to your dog.  This allows us to get faster results with less work.  This helps you get the relief you need from these problem behaviors quickly, but to keep it going with the least amount of residual work possible.   The owner of the Raleigh franchise has 10 years of experience, and was taught by the franchise founder who is approaching 30 years of experience.  We can help you out with your problems.  Even if other trainers have given up, we can help.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Exercise could be a major part of our dogs’ lives.</p>
<p>Cesar Millan, the “Dog Whisperer”, tells us that to keep up a healthy relationship with our beloved pooches, that relationship should consist of 50% physical exertion, twenty five% discipline, and twenty five% affection.</p>
<p>That’s a lot of exercise!</p>
<p>In order for us to be ready to get pleasure from exercising our dogs as much as they have, it’s necessary for them to behave well each on the lead. Sadly, there are various dogs out there who are afraid of the leash itself – resulting in neurotic, fearful, submissive behavior whenever the lead comes out.</p>
<p>In this text, we’ll have a look at the most effective way to accommodate fear of the leash.</p>
<p>Fear of the Leash</p>
<p>The majority of the time, the sight of the leash is enough to evoke a match of joy – the dog is aware of that leash = walk, and reacts accordingly. For some dogs, though, the leash connotes fear and submissiveness additional than anything else. Perhaps the leash was employed in a negative approach with a previous owner – as a tool for dragging the dog around. Maybe it was used to confine the dog for long hours at a time.</p>
<p>In some extreme cases, dogs have even been whipped with the leash as punishment. Or perhaps your dog is just very highly strung, and is at risk of developing phobias seemingly arbitrarily. Though fear of the leash can have a severely negative impact on your walks together with your dog, the nice news is that it’s straightforward to cure.</p>
<p>You just need some patience and a few basic equipment.</p>
<p>What you’ll need – A leash, made of webbing or leather. Approximately 5 feet (1.25 meters) may be a sensible length, as it enables management while not risk of the dog obtaining tangled within the leash when out walking. Chain-link leashes aren’t suggested, as they’re exhausting on the hands – and additionally will flick the dog in the face, that isn’t one thing you’d want to inflict on any dog, coupled with one that’s laid low with concern of the leash!</p>
<p>A good-quality collar, once more created of leather or nylon webbing. If you’re using one with a snap-lock, create sure it’s safety-approved and won’t come undone under pressure. Slip-chain collars (also called ‘choke-chains’ or ‘check-chains’) should never be used on an unattended dog, as they’re a coaching tool, not a true collar. -</p>
<p>A very little bit of time, and a little bit of patience.</p>
<p>What to Do – Your aim here is to accustom your dog to the lead a very little bit at a time, keeping him well among his comfort zone at every step of the way. As a result of he’s already got a fear of the leash, some discomfort in its presence is to be expected, but <a href='http://terriersdogs.com/75/fear-biting-is-your-dog-biting-out-of-fear/' target='_blank'>watch out for signs of extreme fear</a>: hyperventilating, drooling, submissive urination, rolling eyes (typically showing the whites).</p>
<p>Thus the first step: bear in mind to take baby steps at all times! – If he’s very petrified of the leash, you’ll would like to accustom him to it very slowly indeed. Practice leaving it out in full view, preferably in ‘fun’ places: next to his food bowl, in preferred play areas, near his bed.</p>
<p>Once he’s stopped reacting to the sight of it, introduce the leash to him during a additional active manner.</p>
<p>You can do this by wrapping it around your hand as you pet and groom him. Hold the leash in your hand as you prepare his food; sit by him and stroke him, with the leash wrapped around your hand, as he eats. Keep this up till he’s stopped showing any signs of discomfort – it might take your time, but keep in mind that you’re progressing to accustom him comfortably to the leash. Any rushing is counterproductive. – When he’s not showing any signs of nervousness with this level of progress, you can begin attaching the leash to his collar.</p>
<p>Place him during a sit-stay, employing a firm, calm voice, and clip the leash on. Don’t create a huge deal out of it: your dog can take his emotional and psychological cues from your behavior. If you act like it’s not a huge deal, he’ll follow your lead.</p>
<p>Once the leash is on, provide him it slow to induce used to the feeling of something hanging off his neck. He may get a very little panicky at this stage, and start pawing at his neck and making an attempt to rub the leash off along the ground. If he’s showing signs of nervousness, distract him with a game: a brief game of tug-o’-war (providing he is aware of to drop the toy after you’ve had enough) is a sensible plan; if he can run without getting tangled within the leash, play a brief game of fetch; or, if the 2 of you&#8217;re outside during a safely enclosed area, you can go for a short walk.</p>
<p>Don’t attempt to touch the leash at this stage, just let him walk around freely. – Take the leash off once 5 minutes or therefore, and praise him lavishly for being such a smart boy. Offer him a number of small, tasty treats, and lots of petting. – Repeat these last three steps several a lot of times before progressing to the next level: you would like to grant him lots of opportunities to get used to the feeling of the leash itself before you begin using it to control his walking.</p>
<p>The additional positive associations he forms with the leash (which he will do through the games, walks, and treats whereas carrying it), the better for his progress. – Next, it’s time for a short obedience-coaching session while he’s wearing the leash. Five minutes is masses: practice a sit-keep and also the recall command (“come”) whereas he’s sporting the leash. This will reinforce your authority and leadership, and remind him that he’s still expected to obey you while wearing the leash. – When he’s readily obeying your commands with the leash on, you&#8217;ll be able to take him for a short walk while he’s wearing it.</p>
<p>If he’s jumpy, do not reinforce his nervousness by rewarding him with attention. Merely ignore him and carry on walking. Keep in mind, he takes his cues from you, thus keep calm and look forward to it to pass. – If, at any purpose, you&#8217;re feeling that he’s merely too nervous to proceed (for instance, if he’s still panicking once three or four minutes of walking on the leash), go back to the amount at which he was last 100% comfortable. Wait a few days at this stage before making an attempt to proceed.</p>
<p>Things to Keep in mind</p>
<p>Keep in mind to wait! Don’t attempt to rush your dog’s progress: using force is counterproductive to your end goal. You’re teaching him to relax and be calm around the leash – if you get stressed or pissed off along with his lack of progress, he’ll be ready to tell, and his anxiety levels will increase, not decrease.</p>
<p>Keep in mind to not indulge his nervousness or coddle him if he plays up or gets nervous. If you react to his crying and trembling with petting and cooing, you&#8217;re telling him that it’s OK to feel like that. If he’s nervous, either ignore it and persevere, or distract him with a game or short walk. If he’s still panic-stricken once three or four minutes, revert to the previous step and give it more time. – This should go while not saying, but never correct or punish him for skittishness or nervous behavior – once more, it’s counterproductive in the extreme.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Any owner knows by now that dressing your doggie up inside a coat and booties for winter walks is vital. It protects your canine from frostbite and allows make the trip outside much more comfortable.</p>
<p> Even hounds with thick pure fur can benefit from the additional cover clothes gives on their backs. Aside from meeting these desires, winter puppy clothes can be utilised to increase winter enjoyment with your puppy.</p>
<p> I identified this to become legitimate with my Chihuahua that loves rolling while in the snow. What can I say? He&#8217;s not your typical Chi Chi.</p>
<p>My other two tiny Chihuahuas despise ice and sunbathe each opportunity they get. Anyway, he loves rubbing his face in freshly fallen snow or diving his total body into a snow drift. There’s nothing cuter than letting him run cost-free inside the park around some powdered snow and viewing him disappear and reappear from the deep snow. Needless to say, I can’t let him work and participate in too much, or else his wet nose could turn out to be a frozen nose. However, using a great coat and some <a href='http://www.mydoggiesupplies.com/dog-boots.html' target='_blank'>Dog Boots</a>, he can play for over an hour and be cozy and warm.</p>
<p> If your doggie is like mine, listed here are some entertaining ideas for the winter day outside.</p>
<p>
Earliest of all, the classic game of go fetch using a ball or stick becomes immensely extra pleasant for both proprietor and puppy if you add a few feet of snow towards the ground. Booties will shield their paws and maintain them operating inside the ice and snow, along with a excellent, thick coat and sweaters will avoid excessive heat loss.</p>
<p> This can be significant given that going around in cold air will boost the quantity of heat lost. Secondly, if you want your doggie to nonetheless get pleasure from the dog manage on a snowy time, just dress him up inside the coat and booties before heading around there.</p>
<p> Hopefully, a number of his puppy associates will have the same sort of pampering mother and father and they could stay warm whilst playing together.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nipping &#8211; the playful biting and mouthing of your hands and garments by your dog – is significantly common among puppies, but will additionally occur in older dogs that haven’t been taught proper bite inhibition.</p>
<p>It’s natural for dogs to mouth and nip. They explore the world using their mouths – to a dog, his mouth is as important as eyes and hands are to us. Nipping is very completely different from true aggression: it’s a type of communication, interaction, exploration, and play.</p>
<p>From birth, pups use their mouths to explore the den, their mother, and their littermates. From some weeks previous, they use their mouths to play with their siblings: puppies play by biting and mouthing each other. Some adult dogs – usually, those with house owners who encourage rough play, or who were faraway from the litter at too early an age – retain these same tendencies to nip throughout play and in moments of emotional duress.</p>
<p>Sibling play is really how young pups learn a very vital lesson, referred to as bite inhibition. If a puppy bites another puppy too hard, the opposite pup <a href='http://terriersdogs.com/55/how-to-deal-with-a-whining-dog/' target='_blank'>yelps loudly in pain and stops</a> playing with him. This teaches the biter that such a degree of bite force ends up in an undesirable outcome: social isolation.</p>
<p>When other puppies bite him, that’s how he learns what that pain feels like. (This is one among the explanations that puppies far from the litter too early are typically ‘maladjusted’ – they’ve passed over on a number of the necessary lessons their mother and littermates have to show).</p>
<p>Even pups that have learned basic bite inhibition from their siblings sometimes want to be reconditioned once more upon getting into their new home: humans are much a lot of simply broken than dogs, so it’s necessary for us to intervene and refine the puppy’s bite pressure even further.</p>
<p>A dog while not any concept of bite inhibition is each annoying and dangerous to have around: a harmless play session can rapidly flip into painful ordeal. Puppies aren’t capable of inflicting serious damage – though their little teeth are razor sharp, their jaws are too weak to try and do a lot of a lot of than elicit a trickle of blood – however an adult dog can do a great deal more than simply scratch the surface, and it makes very very little difference to a wounded human that the dog “didn’t mean to do it”!</p>
<p>Here’s what to do to <a href='http://terriersdogs.com/96/stop-dog-from-nipping-and-play-biting/' target='_blank'>teach your dog sensible bite inhibition</a>.</p>
<p>Note: this same technique is applicable to older dogs, though the same results could take a little longer to attain.</p>
<p>When playing together with your puppy or dog, you’ll would like to decide on the amount of mouthing that you just’re ready to accept. Some homeowners are content for their dogs to touch their hands with their teeth, as long as no pressure is exerted; others (significantly those with large, strong-jawed dogs) prefer to get the message across that no tooth-contact is appropriate whatsoever.</p>
<p>Whenever you reach your level of tolerance with your pup – he might offer you a smart nip, or he would possibly just grab your fingers gently in his mouth – squeal shrilly and loudly in pain and immediately flip your entire body removed from him. Stand up and walk a few paces faraway from him, keeping your face and eyes averted. Don’t speak to him, and don’t touch him.</p>
<p>The aim here is for the puppy to be fully socially isolated for the following 20 to thirty seconds – long enough for the lesson to sink in, but not long enough for him to forget what it absolutely was that elicited such a response and start enjoying with one thing else.</p>
<p>(Note: if there are other folks gift, you’ll need to make sure that they mimic your behavior here – don’t allow them to begin taking part in with or otherwise listening to the puppy or dog, or else all of your smart work can are undone).</p>
<p>Most young dogs, and some older ones, seem to possess an innate would like to chew one thing – something! – whenever they’re being played with or petted. To keep the main target off your hands, and forestall him from learning what a delightful chew toy your fingers create, offer him with a more applicable chew: something with a small provide to it ought to do the trick.</p>
<p>Rawhide bones, pigs’ ears, or squeezy rubber toys all go down a treat. – If he should start snapping for your hands or face while enjoying, correct him quickly with a pointy, “No!”, or “AH-ah-aaah!” He should stop, startled. As soon as he stops, praise him (you’re praising the stopping, not the original behavior – don’t be confused by their shut proximity) and then quickly redirect his attention to an acceptable chew. When his jaws close around it, praise him again and provide him a pat. – Never use physical force to correct your dog for inappropriate chewing or mouthing. Not only is it mostly unnecessary, however in most cases it will truly encourage further nipping and biting.</p>
<p>The cold-shoulder technique (as printed higher than) is the foremost effective, and humane, manner of conveying your displeasure to your dog. He wants to please you: he simply has to figure out how to try and do so. He features a abundant better probability of doing so if you refrain from corporal punishment and give him thirty seconds of isolation instead. – If your dog’s getting extremely revved up and is making repeated makes an attempt to nip you, despite cold-shouldering him, he would possibly would like to chill down a bit.</p>
<p>In this case, the ‘day out’ methodology is suitable: take him to his crate, or to a tiny room by himself, and leave him there for five minutes to chill out a bit. When it’s time to bring him back into the heart of the household, you&#8217;ll be able to start taking part in again – simply attempt to tone it down a notch or two until you’re certain he can tolerate the play while not further nipping. – For a dog that needs very little encouragement to become overexcited and mouthy (high-energy herding breeds in particular are prone to the current), opt for non-contact play whenever feasible.</p>
<p>Frisbee and fetch are great choices; even tug-of-war, provided your dog knows a reliable ‘drop it’ command, is suitable. Avoid rough play like slap-boxing (where you hit the edges of a dog’s face gently with open palms) and full-on wrestling at all prices: these games encourage nipping, but conjointly decision a dog’s instinctive aggression into the combination, which is something to be avoided. Keep games friendly and low-key instead.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We all function far happier when there are rules and guidelines to keep us in check. Whether they be laws, taboos or maybe social conventions we automatically know how we should conduct ourselves. Dogs are similar. Just as the back garden they run around in is defined by a fence, they must have similar mental fences so they can behave in an appropriate and proper way. Here lets investigate the importance of creating limits and boundaries in <a href='http://www.squidoo.com/dogobedience' target='_blank'>obedience training dogs</a> and just how we accomplish doing it.</p>
<p>I will startwith a rather fitting analogy. If someone were to put several fleas into a jar or container, they would, one at a time, leap out. When you put a top on the jar, the fleas would hop and keep hitting the &#8216;ceiling&#8217; but in time will become to connect leaping that high with a a bash on the head. Then you could take away the lid and the fleas would never jump out of the jar. These fleas will have imposed a boundary on themselves by repetition and, even whenthe actual limit had been taken away, would remain conditioned by the mental boundary. </p>
<p>In a very similar way, you must create behaviour boundaries for your puppy or dog when it first comes to live with you. The most important rule when defining behaviour boundaries is is that you must be 100% consistent. It would be hopeless, for example if you allowed your dog getting onto your chair after a bath when it is all clean and fluffy and then getting upset when it hops on when it has just been rolling in the mud. The dog does not differentiate between OK if clean and not OK if dirty. The sofa/bed/chair is allowed unless there is a behaviour barrier that has been consistently reinforced to suggest that it is inappropriate.  In addition, if the sofa is allowed to your dog in your house, do not be surprised if it immediately gets onto other peoples&#8217; sofas when visiting.</p>
<p>The same applies with what may be appropriate for a pup but not for the adult dog.  A rotweiller puppy curled up on your lap while you are watching TV may be warm and comforting for both of you.  However, when dog is fully grown and you have to sit on the floor whilst your hound sits on the sofa watching television, things won&#8217;t be quite so cozy.  </p>
<p>When you first get your dog it is imperative you decide upon and define the correct behaviour boundaries. Then you must reinforce these behaviour boundaries rigourously in a totally consistent manner for the dog to learn properly. In a short while, your dog, exactly like the fleas in the jar, will be happier without constantly creating a headache for both of you! </p>
<p>When training a new puppy or dog, it is important to start in the correct way as mistakes made early on could be hard to rectify later. At Poochdogs.com there are inexpensive and best-selling training books and courses which cover all topics about obedience training dogs including <a href='http://ezinearticles.com/?Separation-Anxiety-in-Dogs---What-it-is-and-How-to-Spot-It&amp;id=3594531' target='_blank'>separation anxiety in dogs</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are you having problems with your dog&#8217;s nuisance barking?  Are your neighbors frustrated with you and your dog and ready to call the cops?  An excellent and reliable way to reduce or eliminate this nuisance barking is by using a citronella <a href='http://www.dogspraycollar.org/Dog-Spray-Collar-Types.html' target='_blank'>dog spray collar</a>.  Basically, how these devices work, is that when your dog barks it triggers the collar to emit a mist of Citronella spray right up the dogs nostrils, and it makes an annoying hissing noise while doing this.  The dog learns not to bark by associate when it hears the noise, feels, the mist, sees the spray, smells the Citronella.  These four senses work together to quickly train the dog so that it learns to stop barking both safely and humanely.  There are no guarantees that these collars will work for you and your dog, but most people are satisfied with the results they achieve.  There are two main types of dog spray collars.</p>
<p>An automated spray collar is the first choice for many dog owners to effectively control and eliminate nuisance barking.   These devices have vibration and noise sensors attached to the collar that are programmed to release a harmless mist of citronella straight up into the dog&#8217;s face.  With the automatic type collar, the owner doesn&#8217;t have to worry about activating the device.  However, the spray stream will need some adjustment, and most of these collars come with a way to control this.  The only thing you will have to do is make sure the battery is fully charged so the device works continuously.  Over time, the dog learns to anticipate the spray when he gets the urge to bark, and he will acquire the habit to instinctively avoid it.  The spray is completely painless to the dog, and is the most recommended type of anti barking measure by professional dog trainers and kennel owners.  If you are thinking about buying your first <a href='http://www.dogspraycollar.org/Dog-Spray-Collar-Types.html' target='_blank'>bark collar</a>, you will want to start with using an automatic dog spray collar.</p>
<p>There may be some cases where you will need a dog spray collar that is activated by remote control.  Some professional dog trainers prefer this, as they know when to activate the device based on the type of barking the dog is making.  You don&#8217;t really want the dog to stop barking completely, but only to stop nuisance barking.  Not only can you use a remote control collar to stop barking but you can use it for other training purposes as well.  You can use this collar for general obedience training, or for specific misbehavior you want to control or eliminate.  Again, by activating the spray only when you want enables you to fine tune your dog&#8217;s behavior.  Your dog will very quickly learn that there are consequences for undesirable behavior, and inappropriate actions.  The remote control collar comes with a hand held device that is typically triggered with a button.  These devices typically have a range of 300 feet, which is quite suitable for most yards.  A remote control dog spray collar will cost quite a bit more than the automated type, so be certain you have a specific reason for purchasing it.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is the best option for <a href='http://betterdog.com/dog-training/north-carolina/raleigh/index.html' target='_blank'>Raleigh dog training</a>?  I firmly believe Dog Training In Your Home is the best choice for you.  We offer one on one in-home dog training that is tailored to fit your dogs temperaments and your needs.  We do not believe in a &#8216;one size fits all&#8217; approach to dog training.  Instead we pick and choose from multiple different styles and techniques to find what works best for you and your dog.  Additionally, since the training occurs in your home, it is the best environment to modify behaviors that occur there.</p>
<p>  Dog Training In Your Home is a franchise company that is primarily located in the South East.  We are in thousands of homes a week, and have seen and dealt with just about every possible problem that a dog living in a home can have.  We excel at problem solving, obedience training, tricks, protection, and aggression.  We focus on positive reinforcement being the bulk of the motivator and primarily manifesting as praise.  We also believe in using negative reinforcement when necesary and never more than is needed. If you are in need of a good raleigh dog training service, I would recommend contacting our office at (919) 623-7237.  We offer the 1st visit free where we come out and evaluate your dogs temperament and your goals.  Please also find out more at our <a href='http://betterdog.com/dog-training/north-carolina/raleigh/index.html' target='_blank'>Dog Training In Your Home</a> website. My name is Ryan Langley.  I manage the Raleigh franchise and have 10 years of experience doing in-home dog training professionally. </p>
<p> I love working with all types of dogs.  Aggressive dogs tend to be the ones that I take the most attention to, as the consequences for their behaviors often end in euthanasia or being placed in a new home.  I really take pride in the amount of dogs that I have been able to help, and the people who&#8217;s lives are actually better because of my job.  It adds a deeper level of satisfaction when one&#8217;s rewards are not simply financial.  I also enjoy showing people things that they didnt believe their dog could do.  Not many believe me when I tell them we can teach their dog to get a beer out of the refridgerator for them.  Or that we can housebreak their dog for them, or break the jumping, or aggression problems.  Nothing delights me more than seeing peoples expectations change.  I once even had a house where the husband pulled me aside on the 1st lesson and told me he had a bet with his wife that I couldn&#8217;t do the job.  When I had accomplished the goals that we had set, the man gave me the 50 dollars he had lost to his wife.  That was a real suprise!</p>
