			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">Puppies are cute cuddly and so full of life throughout the infancy stage. It is at this time when puppy training is vital &#8211; because believe it or not these cute cuddly little characters can cause so much havoc in the home &#8211; with their outbursts of action packed antics all brought on by excitement.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Fun it may be at the time but when you waken to find the remains of a chewed slipper- scratch marks on the furniture and puppy poo to mark the pup`s presence then it is time for an obedience check.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">How do you go about house training a puppy &#8211; simple the same as you would potty train a baby? Yes your right it will take time and patience but all worthwhile in the end. To be honest the whole process of puppy training can be quite fulfilling as well as fun. There will be times when you may get frustrated throughout the process but just the fact that you have accomplished what others would see as impossible is an achievement in its self. To have an obedient dog standing at the side of its master (you) will make you proud to be the canines owner. Even evening walks are so much more enjoyable with an obedient dog.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You have to think about safety for yourself and that of your pooch if they are not trained. Dangers by the roadside and where children are concerned &#8211; have to be a couple of vital factors why puppy training is important.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Puppies need to use the bathroom regular sometimes as much as up to 8 to 10 visits a day &#8211; this gradually lessons to about 3 to four times at 30 weeks old. Our liittle four legged friends are clean animals but still need nurturing with correction lessons teaching them right from wrong.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are going to kennel/crate train the puppy then build the shelter to accommodate the size of the dog to have comfort. Section the kennel in half while the puppy is small and as he/she begins to grow then remove the partition. By not splitting the shelter in two the pup may decide to go to the back of the crate and leave their mark there.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The kennel/crate should be big enough to permit the dog to stand easily and stretch. As long as the dog can manoeuvre around then that is all that matters.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Timing is crucial when puppy training &#8211; have a doggie diary with a schedule of times and adhere to them. Work this pattern around what is best suited for you and your dog</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For example: 10 to 10:30 am. lead the puppy from the enclosure outside and always keep to the same spot every day. The puppy will get used to this allotted space and in time will make his or her own way there. Remember puppies are like babies they need feeding. Times for this is best after the first morning release &#8211; approx about 30 minutes. A little later let the puppy out for a friendly romp in the garden for a play without commands.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Leading the puppy from the kennel is an action you have to repeat over and over again at the scheduled times you have logged in your doggie diary.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Before retiring to blanket street take the puppy outside again and let them have a little time to investigate and nosey around &#8211; in other words sniffing every nook and cranny.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you are serious with this practice then the puppy`s needs have to be checked again around 3 am in the morning. It is a good idea to have a catchphrase for the pup to relate to. Words like (want to poo poo) will do the trick.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When your puppy is at your side and obeying your commands it is then you will know why that famous saying came about &#8211; GOOD DOGGIE.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3 style="text-align: justify;">Dog collar sales to raise money in the fight against canine cancer</h3>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>2 Hound Designs</strong> annual dog collar sale is going on to help raise money and awareness for <strong><em>canine cancer research</em></strong> through Hope for Hounds. Every year 2 Hounds Design releases limited-issue, custom-designed collars with a goal to raise both money and awareness in the fight against <em>canine cancer</em>. <a href="http://www.2houndsdesign.com/Hope-for-Hounds-pr-419.html">View products</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Hope for Hounds is a nonprofit organization founded by Janet Schaffer in 2005. Janet started Hope for Hounds after one of her favorite hounds died of osteosarcoma, the most common cancer found in large-breed dogs including Greyhounds and Great Danes. All of the proceeds go to fund Dr. Guillermo Couto&#8217;s canine oncology research at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">From now until March 31, 2008, 2 Hounds Design will double their donation to $10 for each collar sold, $6 for each leash, $5 per headband, and $3 for each key fob sold. <a href="http://www.prweb.com/releases/designer/dogcollars/prweb738784.htm">View press release</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">According to Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Purdue University, &#8220;Approximately 80-85% of all canine skeletal tumors are diagnosed as osteosarcomas (OSA). Canine OSA occurs most often in dogs 7-9 years of age. Large breed dogs are at 150 times greater risk of OSA. Highly aggressive, over 90% of all clinically significant OSAs have already micrometastasized by the time of diagnosis.&#8221;</p>
