		<description><![CDATA[No one likes to have their nose rubbed in their mistakes but that is often a form of punishment that new dog owners will result to when trying to teach their pup to not use the carpet as a toilet. While this may appear to be an appropriate form of punishment but it will not help train your dog to potty outdoors.
A dog does not comprehend that they are being punished because they made a mess in the house, only that their mess (or a mess from another dog) will ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Just like their human owners, dogs experience back and joint pain along with muscle cramps, and it is becoming more popular for dog owners to utilize the services of a pet chiropractor.  But while some veterinarians believe there is evidence to support this practice, many animal organizations urge caution when considering this relatively new form of treatment.

According to the Association of American Veterinary Colleges, the amount of classes being offered in pet chiropractic care is on the rise and the American Veterinary Chiropractic Association includes a national certification of 750 members.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While most dog owners like the idea of their pup being a good watchdog by discouraging potential intruders with an intimidating glare and growl, it can become a nuisance when your dog goes berserk when a friend pops in or the mailman delivers a package.
Many dog owners struggle with their pet getting overexcited when there is a knock at the door or the doorbell rings.  It can be easy to simply scold your dog, yank them away from the door and even yell in frustration at them.  But ...]]></description>

Just like people, dogs benefit from regular exercise which can lead to a longer and healthier life.

		<description><![CDATA[
Many dog specialists will advise against resorting to a bark collar. It is highly suggested that you first put time and consideration into training your dog not to bark; this often yields favorable results. Some dogs, however, bark excessively and disruptively, despite training. Such a situation may call for a bark collar. A dog barks for different reasons, whether it is for attention, directed at a stranger, or if they feel their life or the owner’s life is threatened. In any of these instances a bark collar can be used ...]]></description>
