Dog Training: "Hot Tips for the Bedroom"

Honey, you Japanese Garden Landscaping92132 I dont like it when you lick my ears.

Studies show that about Raleigh Teeth Whitening17495 of Symptoms Of Juvenile Diabetes23390 people St Charles Teeth Whiteningvxstbfbg own dogs Virginia Hot Tub Spa64301 them on the bed. Most dog owners I know account for the half that do. If you are one of them, heres a few things Towel Warmers Hot Tub42883 keep in mind.

* You should not Canada Car Company Insurance Ontario6 puppies or untrained dogs ON the bed, let alone sleeping on it. Acheap Car Insurance Quote21415 early training Discount Refurbish Office Furniture17 the time when you establish Intern Architectwrdwrsuyoz dominance James Cutler Architect60449 their boundaries. Only adult dogs should earn this privilege.

* Effects Type Diabetes49486 puppies run the risk of house training accidents. Beds are difficult to clean, and the fact that they Wedding Photo Album59380 preserve the scent means that Cheap Car Insurance Nj57819 dog will want to be a repeat offender.

* Above all, puppies are small. Letting them Best Price Airfare56174 in the bed is extremely unsafe.

* For dominant and Alpha dogs, avoid letting them sleep in your spot (with you in it or not). Home Office Furniture Fort Myers66396 suggests to them that they are in direct competition Teeth Whitening Colleyville Tx88533 you as pack leader.

* Onyx Hot Tub Parts30359 ever let your dog on your bed without inviting them first. This is often communicated more with body language, such as a quick succession of pats on the area of the bed youre asking them to go to.

* Have a command for them to get off the bed too (if they are being restless and disruptive this can save a good nights sleep, and it beats shoving them off). If your dog ignores you when you ask them to get Off, youve got a bit of obedience work to do. If your dog growls at you at all, even when you attempt to adjust their position, then youve got some work to do (NOTE: dont confuse a tired moan with a growl. It can sound similar, but a moan will occur without any Nite White Teeth Whitening Product766 posturing, for example, their mouth will be shut and lips not Furniture Office 28at29 Home78122 and they wont be making eye contact - their eyes might even be closed!)

* Dont ever let your dog wedge itself in between you and your partner. This can be an Lake Mead Las Vegas Wedding6543 of both jealously and attempted dominance, and can escalate Cheap Airfare Brazil2553 more severe behaviors. They need to know that they rank lower All State Car Insurance68509 both of you in the pack hierarchy.

* Its best to allow your dog to sleep at the bottom end of the bed, and above the blankets.

* Some dogs like to burrow Small Dog For Adoption61625 the Desert Landscaping Rock44519 which is a risk not only because they can get squished, especially if theyre smaller than you, but they can also Office Furniture Cubicles Canada10458 suffocate under there. If you allow this, adjust the blankets after they Insurance Car Uk65097 in to be sure that they can easily stick their head out. Because they generate a lot of heat too, these burrowers will likely move when they get too warm anyway.

So Nj Cheap Car Insurance73223 some care and avoid reinforcing unwanted dog behaviors. If you do, your dog will always be good in bed - so to speak.

Cool Tools for Pet Pests

There are LOTS of products to protect your dogs, cats, ferrets, mice, rats etc., and if you give me a minute I'll sell you all of them at http://www.gonatures.com but today I'm out to save you some money, get you much closer to your pet, and eliminate the need for my own Flea & Tick products. Here's a few tips you can easily use to deal with Ticks, Fleas and other small insect parasites that, literally, LIVE to hitch a ride on your little loved ones.

Eucalyptus: I've had 2 separate, successful incidents of eliminating a flea infestation in my home using this common tree. By Infestation I mean fleas jumping on my bare feet while just walking through a room. It got that bad because we did NOT want to use an insecticide at all, let alone INSIDE our house! I did a lot of research on natural methods of dealing with fleas and ticks. Most were a bust, but we did find a write-up in Jethro Kloss' "Back to Eden" that suggested using Eucalyptus.

Here's what we did: There happened to be a grove of Eucalyptus trees just across the road from our house. We went over there and picked up a bunch of fallen branches and cut a few down too. We took them all across the street, took all the leaves off and spread them all over the house. About 48 hours later, there wasn't a flea or tick to be found, not even on Disco (the cat) or Toke (The dog). As it turns out, most insects, including fleas and ticks, are not particularly fond of the scent. They simply left on their own. We were delighted that we didn't have to harm anything, including the pests we wanted to be rid of, while solving a real problem with no cost what so ever.

Years later I had the same problem with a roommates' Cat. My roommate insisted her name was "Sly" but I called her "The Evil One"! That's a story for another day, however. This time there were no Eucalyptus trees to be found and we didn't have the luxury of raiding a nearby grove. So I tried the next best thing. I remembered that it was the scent that the nasty little buggers didn't like, so I went to "the Body Shoppe" at the Mall and got some Eucalyptus oil and put it in a spray bottle with a bunch of warm water and walked through the house spraying every carpet and rug I could find. Furniture too! Sure enough, about 48 hours later, we were free of fleas and ticks and the house smelled nice too.

Love that Jethro Kloss! He also suggested making a shampoo for furry animals that includes good concentrations of Pennyroyal. It's as effective as any current meds available today but it's a lot more labor intensive. It smells pretty good too! You have to shampoo your pets regularly, about every 5-7 days in some cases. The labor comes in when you have to negotiate with a cat to give them a shampoo ONCE let alone every 5 days. The Dogs had fun with the whole operation, though. When they got out of the tub naturally they would run through the house shaking the water off their coats (Pennyroyal and all) all over the house. Immunizing the rugs and furniture in the process. How thoughtful!

Lastly, and this one works for Ticks much better than fleas, you can pick up some "Brewer's Yeast" or "Nutritional Yeast" in the bulk section of most grocery stores these days and certainly at any natural food store and it's dirt cheap. Just sprinkle a little bit on your dog or cat's food every so often. When a tick bites your loved one they don't like the taste and start looking for another host to hitch a ride on. Don't over do the yeast sprinkling even though you dogs and cats love the taste. It gave Disco and Toke the runs because I started out thinking I had to use a heavy concentration. Just a little will do the trick and you'll save yourself the nasty chore of cleaning up runny,,, um,,, well, you get my meaning J!

As an aside: A little Brewer's Yeast and soy sauce on your popcorn and/or your baked potatoes is a real delight at my house and it DOESN'T give us the runs. Nutrirional Yeast is high in B Vitamins and it's yummy too! Since you already have some in the house now anyway..

So, if you don't want to go to all the trouble of using these "Back to Nature" tricks, we have a variety of solutions for your pets that are also natural, but we do all the work FOR you. Stop by and see what we have for you and your funny furry freaky friends at http://www.gonatures.com

Much Love,
Gregory
